Even if it's just Xenthos and I, we can still kick your butt, Arcanis ;^)
I'm sure I'm a good chunk of that Guild activity ranking. I pretty much do nothing but bash whenever I'm not trying to get into politics or stuff my face in the library

Wow, Karlachh is still the GC.
Whatever your stance is, that's pretty pathetic.
Nobody's actually felt like contesting him. We've had a few coming through who were talking about doing it, but they wanted to "train more" before going for GC (the whole "I should be able to fight if I'm GC" thing). I was kind of expecting Sedanas to do it, but he's contesting for CL instead.
Doesn't really matter much, it'll get replaced eventually when someone feels like doing it. In the meantime, we're still humming along. GC doesn't do much anyways, so it doesn't bother me.
PS: The TOPGUILDS thing isn't intended as a slight on the Nihilists, it's just an eyeroll at Arcanis. Guilds in Lusternia tend to be stretched pretty thin these days and the numbers are not all that far apart.
You do realize topguilds means next to nothing in actual activity...right? 1 member can go around hunting all day and give their guild more a score than another guild with 5 members sitting around in a manse while they do their IRL reports. Frankly ebonguard withering away is what I heard from one of its own members, and when taking a look:
By the way, a comment on the bolded line: A guild that has 5 members sitting around in their manse doing the IRL reports is certainly one "withering" more than a guild that has 1 newbie going around hunting in newton or the moors or upper shallach or anywhere, for that matter.
Arcanis always manages to undermine his own message without realizing how vacuous his words are. I don't know why none of you commented about it.

Yeah...im sure -that's- why the Ebonguard is in the shape it is in and has been for near on a year now. I find it hilarious to use the excuse "warriors are just not popular right now". If that was so, then Ur'guard would be dead, and it isnt, because they supply such a flavorful RP concept. I do wish Karlach was around right now to state how Xenthos basically sucked the life dry out of Ebonguard.

Oh wait, I know why. No one cares.
Wrong again Lerry-poo. Having '1 novice running around', which in this case would be Sedanas, is actually much worse than having 5 members on standby. Want to know why? Well as im sure Sedanas can attest here, it is because there would be no one active enough around to actually progress that 1 active novice to full member rank, nor to do their examinations. That 1 novice would also feel *Drum-roll*: NEGLECTED! Shocker I know, but true fact.
Whereas, if a novice or any member, would find their guild is filled with people who respond and show general interest, even if they arent seen running around hunting all day, then that alone is faaaaaaaaar better than any 1 novice being active.
P.S: Im pretty sure if Sedanas didnt appear recently and was active as he is, then Ebonguard score would be something dismal.
I'm pretty sure you're throwing shade for something really stupid. There is no point in doing this because of how small our player base is. Can you just give it a bloody rest for one day?
Psh. I'd still be GC of Serenguard if I didn't straight up leave the position. It's just a game-wide thing, and I think most warrior guilds are in similar positionsish.

Cyndarinused Flamethrower! It was super effective.
Unless anyone can cite the formula behind TOPGUILDS, we should probably all stop using it as evidence as proof of how much x guild we thing is sucky is actually sucky as we claim it to be. Harbingers are number 2 and ur'guard are number 1, but there's not an ur'guard than could out pk me. So this whole karlach gibberish is a bunch of nonsense.
We get it, Arcanis. You hate everything Glom and every abstract x, y, and z reason you scrape up is evidence of how much of a failure we all are, and how we all failed to see you as the most glorious, successfull, talented leader that you are. SO sorry. forgive us, shitty peon, for our sins.
I really dislike a quiet, less populated guild being blamed on one person, as though he has done it deliberately, or has his priorities mixed up by actually living in the real world and thus not spending 24/7 in the game. How DARE Xenthos not greet every novice out of the portal personally with pompoms and placards and Ebonguard propaganda. Sheesh.
Also not replacing inactive guild whatevers irks me terribly. Anyone is better than no one. It chafed me for ages that the inactive ur'Guard GA wasn't replaced for months and months after disappearing, despite there being plenty of people in the guild.
I'm sort of lost on how Xenthos is being blamed for a low-active-population guild as well. Guild Leaders can't force newbies to pick their guild or force their members to log in instead of doing whatever else is keeping them from doing so.
Pretty low and nonsensical blow, that.
EDIT: And I'm pretty sure he should be commended for filling so many guild positions himself, rather than looked down upon. The man does what needs to be done.

A Tosha monastery spear shears through the skin of Tremula's left leg, parting flesh and bone as easily as butter.

Digging a Tosha monastery spear into the ground for support, you spin through the air and lash out at Tremula's chest with your right foot.
The stylised diamond nails you wear on your right foot rake at Tremula's chest as you spin through the air, opening thin lines.

"Wrong again Lerry-poo"?
Oh, yes, I've been wrong plenty of times. That's one thing I've always acknowledged, and have always been clearly aware of. Everytime I debate and argue with people like Celina, Sidd, Eventru, Elanorwen, Talan and countless others on topics ranging from PK to enemy statuses to everything under the sun, I improve my arguments and my own knowledge because the interaction shows me where my arguments have the best points to focus on, and forces me to revisit and revise the weakest or mistaken concepts that I use. It is precisely for this that I engage in such interactions, and I enjoy them precisely because they help make me a better debater, and puts me on the same level as others when discussing points of mutual interest.
You, however, have such a delusional complex in your own superiority that you are blind to the weaknesses of your own arguments. Five people logged in and doing their IRL work are doing just that: their IRL work, and not playing the game. They most certainly won't be advancing any newbies, interacting with them, or creating the great RP and culture that makes a guild good. And no need for drumrolls, they most certainly will be neglecting their newbies, too. Your delusional assertion that five members in their manses doing their own things (which is not a bad thing in itself) is better than one newbie running around actually engaging with the game, is evidence of how disconnected you are with what newbies actually need. It most certainly can be argued that it is even MORE demoralizing to see "5 members on other planes" and not receive an answer when a newbie asks a question, than if there were no one around in the first place.
Sedanas running around by himself is a better show of Ebonguard RP than any other guild with five "ghost" members idling in their manses.
Your arguments are simplistic, one-dimensional and circular. They have no substance to them, but that's not actually a problem. I've argued with plenty of young, inexperienced people who have an incomplete grasp of all the facts before, and let me tell you, I learned more from any single one of those interactions than I have from all the time I spent reading your posts combined. I have had more intelligent conversations teaching my elementary school cousins basic grammar.
Your problem is your fathomless depths of narcissism. You are so in love with yourself that the concept of being wrong makes you react by acting cute with your "Lerry-poo"s and not-funny pictures. You look at the sarcastic posts of your betters and you make a snide comment, thinking you're funny. What was it you posted in response to Celina? "We finally agree on something!"? Did you really think that was a witty jab or something? You stare on jealously at the camaraderie displayed by other people when they joke with each other using drag-queen pictures, and try to make yourself out to be in the cool squad by posting yours. You strut about acting like you don't care when people criticize your worst faults, and try to act like you enjoy other people's suffering, like some kind of grade-B troll. Imitation is the only ability you have demonstrated, and you don't even do it well.
I would pity you, except you've gone past the point of being pathetic. People like Celina and Munsia are a constant source of conflict by nature of their competitive and aggressive personalities, and they can inspire rage, frustration, and sometimes even hatred. You inspire nothing but the sour aftertaste of eating ground fish paste that went bad three weeks ago. I can't even read your posts without my friends mistakenly thinking I'm looking at some kind of fetish porn outside of my inclinations.
Even people like Arimisia and Camberre and Avurekhos, who I've never really RP'd with due to political alignments, I enjoy fighting against, because they teach me things just by engaging with me. Even when I lose, and die in sap (and get laughed at by Celina) or even when two power strikes from Camberre puts me at heavy-critical head wounds with a soft lock, it has always been fun to play the game with them. You don't even have the ability, or the guts, to offer me the same challenge. Hell, even Marcella, however unsavoury her OOC motivations, have her IC actions backed up by in-game decades of consistent RP dating back to when Morkarion was in Mag, and have the balls to stand and fight.
In this game community of inclusiveness, you have only given back by being a negative example of what not to be. A mirror for misbehaving newbies to look at and feel ashamed of. And even that usefulness is coming to an end - you've left enough examples of your incompetence on this forum that looking at the archives of what you've posted is enough of a corrective action that we don't need any more active posts for that purpose. Reading your posts is like looking at a Magikarp flopping along the ground trying to get near to a seductive picture of a sexy Gyarados. Here, I'll even explain that metaphor for you: Your posts are like a fish out of its element that doesn't even know it has got its priority of Maslow's hierarchy of needs wrong - when it should be trying to get into water instead of trying to get laid.
I could go on some more, but I know your response is going to be so inane that the little time I've spent on this post is already wasted, so I'll stop here. I won't even ask you to do us all a favour - just do yourself one and stop posting.
Having -been- a member of the Ebonguard before, for a long period of time, I can assure you that their low population is neither Xenthos' fault nor new. They've always been a low population guild. The most I've ever seen logged on at once was five.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

You do realize that I was also in the Ebonguard two years ago, yes? Your point makes very little sense-- I was GM when Morkarion joined, after all. It's kind of like you pull disparate bits and pieces out of thin air and try to string them together to present an argument, but spend absolutely no time actually thinking about it.
