I told you about your anger, your temper, how you react to people and you responded with how the hell do you think a leader is supposed to act. I further more commented about your anger and how you deal with people who don't understand the rules and you responded with your rhetorical question should I act like nothing is happening then, they aren't following the rules? Clearly you are not understanding me, and your inability to realise that people misunderstand you causes you to go off.
I haven't said a word about "how leaders deal with their problems", not that I know of. And before yesterday, there were no problems - none that I were aware of. Because people don't talk (except behind my back, apparently).
And in the trade thread I said you didn't have to go off like that, I said you could have just explained what GMT was.
First of all, that link you gave said nothing of what GMT was, I looked, I read every word of your post before I posted my response, and you nor that site said "GMT is Greenwich Mean Time. The time at Greenwich, England, which is used as the basis for standard time throughout the world." Second of all, I gave my response in military time, but I included at the end of that Los Angeles time, because I didn't know what GMT was and from the link you gave and you explaining military time, I thought GMT had to do with military time. So did the other poster that gave their time. And what was your response? You overreacted, called the trade off because we "couldn't read or follow directions". Now let me ask you this: If people are posting in military time, but are adding the city that is closest to where they live from the link you gave, what does that tell you about them knowing what GMT is? It might be that they don't know what it is, yet you say that site explains what it is, please, point it out where it defines GMT.
Again, your fault is not being able to realize that some people might not understand something in your posts and your natural reaction to it is to go off on people and accuse them of not reading what you say or following what you say instead of what most other people would do, which is to explain what the thing people aren't getting is.
On the site (worldtimezones), you can read all about GMT and other tiem zone abbrevations under "Abbrevations" at the top. They also explain the concept of military or 24-hour time. That's why I linked to that page.
Yeah, because I thought it would change, I didn't think a leader could be that bad all the time. I was wrong, and with that last thread, I voiced my thoughts. And I don't think it could have been handled differently, because as I said in that thread, you aren't open to different opinions, and again, as I told you about your anger, you seemed to equate anger and frustration with leading.
You negative demeanor is this, overreacting, being in a fowl mood, complaining and bitching about something. And when did you want to discuss monkeys? When Devotia tried to defend herself (or himself, not exactly sure) for having a monkey, your response was to belittle her, saying boohoo, all well, you shouldn't drop steal, and that was your whole arguement about monkeys; it's botting and it's drop stealing, both are against the rules. How the hell is that discussing the situation about monkeys? That's you giving your opinion and telling people there is no discussion about it.
What I
was going to do (but by the time I was gonna start a new thread, early this morning, people had alredy left the guild) was to say that it's alright if you have a monkey with another character, that isn't a member of the guild. That way everyone could keep their monkeys and let them pick up whatever they wanted, without dragging the name of our guild in the mud. How's that for "not being open"? The discussion you are talking about took place under General Discussions,
not in the guild forum. Therefore, it was not a guild discussion. It was me stating my opinion as a Silkroad-player. Nothing else.
And again - please note that although I thought they were clearly breaking the rules (especially by bragging on the forum about all the items their monkeys had picked up) I did
not kick or force anyone out of the guild for having a monkey. I didn't even tell anyone to set their monkey to only pick up their own drops. But I guess that's just me being an asshole too...
But since half the members had already left, there wasn't any point in trying to solve the issue, so I just kicked everyone from the guild instead.
Oh, so picking up gold is OK? Yeah, this is an example of poor leadership and not explaining what you mean. The rule said no dropstealing, that's it. Well WTF does that mean? Can't steal hover over someone's drops waiting the timer to go off? Is it OK to pick up stuff that's in the middle of no where, where no other player is around? All drops? Only gold? Only gear?
I even explained that in the last thread, I told you not to get pissed for not explaining a subjective rule and even more, a rule that's not even clearly defined.
Yes, that is my fault. When I added the part about thieves being allowed I rewrote the rule, but I forgot to write "items", and instead wrote "drops". To me they are the same, it never crossed my mind that it was unclear. But again, not a single person has ever asked me anything about the rules. I have asked every single member if they have read the rules and if they will abide by them - and every has said "yes".
Apparently that "yes" is only valid until Joymax adds another cool toy to the game...
Yeah, I gave that response, but you know why I said it? If you read it, which I'm doubting you are sense you keep on bringing up points that I have addressed in that thread, I said I didn't like your temper. That was why. I didn't care for you how lead, and so, when you wanted to disband, I didn't care what you did. But honestly, I thought Kard would have made an exellent leader, so if Kard is willing, I'd suggest he should take the full leadership role.
Yeah, you saifd that
yesterday. Why not say anything before that? I'm not used to having to sugarcoat everything I say so I won't hurt someone's feelings. People are too f-ing sensitive today, and that's a big problem. If someone is acting like an asshole, say so. Don't be quiet, and especially don't sugarcoat it. People who aren't straightforward and up front and are afraid of conflicts annoy the hell out of me.
I would have no problems with Kard taking over the guild if it hadn't been that he just quit without saying anything. That really, really disappointed me, so I don't feel comfortable with him taking over as guild leader.
my monkey. Poptart is adorable !!!
