The Cannith Guild Union

Oh yeah?

Well, thanks for confirming my suspicions. Didn't take much there did it?

Such a patronising response - (Well OF COURSE any dissent surely means the dissenter is too stupid to understand, or even to read properly, and their views therefore readily discounted, or better yet they should just go away. Problem solved. ) - serves to confirm that you, and those of a similar attitude, are certainly NOT the right persons to lead any such initiative, whether flawed as I believe, or not.

If you spit your dummy out over dissent at this, how the heck can you ever be trusted to represent anyone on something of significant import, that you may happen to dislike, or may have invested an anchored point of view in?

Here's a tip - if you really do want, God forbid, to be a virtual politician, at least be savvy enough to learn some politicial grace, even insincere grace, and a thicker skin - it will stop you looking like someone who maybe wasn't so well intentioned after all when you inevitably get poked wi a stick. Read "Animal Farm" too. Good book.

( And, yeah, I know that's patronising too - but then, I'm not the one seeking "office". )

Like I said before - it is a bad idea. From your response, someone like you at the helm would be a complete disaster from the off.

We have enough power-hungry politicos in RL - we certainly don't need more of them to represent our views on a game. The forum, with all it's flaws, is still better, and should NOT be diluted by such politicking.

That's my view - others can judge for themselves.

Also, I'd say that if Turbine do start to listen to you, nomatter how many members your new model army has signed up, ahead of the rest of the players of the forums, I, for one, will find that disgusting, as it de-facto discriminates between their paying customers, me included.

Turbine (who knows, they might be looking in ) - If folk like this ever do come knocking on your door - I appeal: I expect it to be a revolving one, with the exit leading straight back to the forum pages!

Cap, you are apparently a Guild Leader - why not content yourself with that, along with posting your own constructive views on the forums, like many others can and do? That way your view will get attended to/ignored based on its merits, rather than how many politbureau members you may have signed up. Just like everyone else (or is that your problem?).

Thanks though, for taking time in your clarifying response - it proved most illuminating

Now, I'm away back to my server. For now...

I truly don't believe I can live up to the incredibly high standard set by Favre in his eloquent response to your post, and since you seem to have no sincere interest in hearing out any thoughts on this subject other than your own, this is probably going to be the last time I respond to one of your clear, concise, and not at all deliberately inflammatory posts.

I don't think you're too stupid to read properly, I think you either choose not to or lack reading comprehension skills. I'm obviously giving you the benefit of the doubt as far as said skills go, since I'd like to assume that you aren't just being unpleasant for unpleasantness's sake.

I'm sure your misguided, deliberately uninformed response to a post about a group on a server you don't even play on will go down in history as one of the key factors in the fall of said currently nonexistent Communist Organization. I'm sure, in the Cannith Stormreach of the future, your name will be mentioned along with the likes of Robert the Bruce and William Wallace, and, should they obtain rights to your story, the Cannith Filmmakers Association will begin filming a movie depicting your heroic last stand against the inexorable tide of Cannith guilds. The film would of necessity be only loosely based upon the original story, since the filmmakers weren't present in current Cannith, and oddly enough, neither were you.

Of course, this is assuming that you don't "spit your dummy out" in response to the news that the Cannith Filmmakers are attempting to create an association.

Anyways, rest assured that although you might not be receiving many favorable reviews right now, history will absolve you. Also, it's important to remember that the CGA can try to take your right to self representation, but they can never take your freedom!
