Title: Another guild down the tube
Post by: Phinehas on August 02, 2004, 07:27:30 pm
Well, you all know that Depthblade\'s guild went down the drain, and he\'s been eating his humble pie and working his way up the ranks of another guild. Now comes the news, the time has come for the same to happen to me. I too have failed in my desire to lead a guild. I feel very humbled, and, now that I think of it, it\'s amazing that we lasted for as long as we did. Anyway, I\'m disbanding our guild and am going in search of a new one. I already have hopes for a certain guild that I\'d like to join, but I guess I\'ll see what happens. This is the end of Cutting Edge. It was good, but it\'s over.

It\'s really a shame to hear that Cutting Edge has not succeeded for you, Phinehas.  I really thought that you had planned it a lot better than many other guilds that have gone on to great things, but I suppose it was just not meant to be.   :(

Good luck with whatever you may undertake next!  :)

You know what\'s sad? I thought the same. I also thought that I\'d planned it better than a lot of other guilds. Evidently not.

Yeeeeehhhaaaaaaaaaa. My day keeps getting better and better.  :D


(Edit: I find that most guilds overplan, which makes them fail. Cabal has little planning, we just do as we see fit as it\'s needed, which makes things more interesting for both us leaders and our members.)

Those are dire news. I wasn\'t expecting Cutting Edge to fail, not this soon at least.
If you are interested in the Dark side I think you would do great in the Dark Empire ;).
Anyway good luck in whatever you choose.

Well you\'ve always been a cynical peanut, so no news there :P

Wow!  That\'s a change from when I was talking to you yesterday (Phinehas \'s decision to disband CE, not Altharion the Cynical Peanut)!  Anyways, good luck in joining whatever guild you choose to join, remember, many old friends would love to have you in their guilds.

AH, again its to my advantage that a guild has failed but I\'m sorry to see you go

Post by: Phinehas on August 03, 2004, 09:27:08 pm
Thanks guys. Sangwa, if I went over to the dark side, I\'d definitely join the DE over the Cabal, but I\'m not \"dark\" so it doesn\'t matter. The long and short of why it\'s over is not that it was poorly planned, it was that I didn\'t have enough support from members. I mean, face it, I\'m no web-designer, and I\'m not a lot of other things. The only thing I had going for me were my creativity and leadership abilities. Well, that\'s just not enough to make it among all the other semi-newbie guilds. Besides, come next week I\'ll have to spend less time on PS. I\'ll still play, but not enough to run a guild.

Oh, and Altharion seeing as I don\'t even know you, I don\'t really care what your expectations were.

Oh, and I\'d appreciate a pm or something from any guilds that are interested in having me. Not to be a nuisance or anything, but I\'d like to join another guild, but I don\'t want to force my presence on anyone. \'sides, several guilds are invite only, so.... Also, a couple of my guild members who were actually active might be looking for a guild as well, I can vouch for them(as if that means anything).

.....NOOOOOOOO!!!

ah Phinehas you had the best neutral guild out there what with Kasnar and you, Toadman, and Devilvampire on the council :P (oh and Psyconn too but he kept disagreeing with me :P)

Bah, I wish you all the luck in the world and if you ever need anything at all, my doors are open.

Thanks Waylander. You were awesome too. It\'s too bad you didn\'t stay in, but oh well, that\'s history. I appreciate your support.
Title:
Post by: Waylander on August 03, 2004, 10:20:15 pm
But Phine, had I stayed it would have made it unfair for all the other guilds :P

Me and you together=invincible muahaha

Nevermind Altharion, it\'s in his nature to say that kind of stuff.
It\'s truly a pity that you are not considering the Dark side ^^. Maybe you should join the Mercenaries, that\'s where Depthblade went after disbading Xperto ;).
Title:
Post by: Phinehas on August 04, 2004, 01:35:53 am
I can\'t say I haven\'t considered it, but, first of all, they haven\'t invited me, and second of all, I\'m not sure that I\'m cut out to just fight for the highest bidder.

Post by: Waylander on August 04, 2004, 02:58:13 am
Bah you are too good for that Phinehas.  lol no wait, let me rephrase that, you have different skillz from those who become mercs
Title:
Post by: Elegrand on August 04, 2004, 03:06:49 am
Sorry to hear that Phinehas, but, if you\'re feeling happier without the weight of the guild, then I shall rejoice.
Title:
Post by: Phinehas on August 04, 2004, 01:02:31 pm
Thanks Waylander, that\'s a kind way of saying that I have no skills. Elegrand, it is much easier not to carry CE on my shoulders. I have time to dedicate myself to the study of magic.
Title:
Post by: Waylander on August 04, 2004, 05:52:50 pm
lol, I never said no skills I said different skills than those that become mercenaries (ie: you have amazing leadership, a cunning mind and good organizational skills.  Mercs have: No morals, greed, cunning mind, and a few with leadership)

So maybe if you were one of the lead mercs you would be good otherwise you would be overqualified for your possition

Post by: Levski on August 04, 2004, 06:27:22 pm
Personally, I congratulate you Phinehas for not choosing the Dark Ways.  Even though I am neutral, I abhor any who wish to cause harm to others for their own good.  On the other hand, I won\'t have anyone telling me what is good and right, and then forcing me to do it.

Good luck studying the Arcane Arts Phinehas :).

Post by: Tyriel on August 04, 2004, 09:36:13 pm
cause harm?? .. hmm how harm.. like killing and bleeding?. or ..stealing gold and stuff :)??

anyway.. changes are good.. new experiences are worth more than gold... wish you luck
Title:
Post by: Phinehas on August 05, 2004, 06:38:53 pm
Well, Levski, I\'m neutral lawful myself. Like, I\'m a pretty nice guy, but I like to retain the ability to be sarcastic.  :D

Well, I\'ve been offered entry to some good guilds.... still deciding though.

Post by: DepthBlade on August 07, 2004, 11:33:35 pm
Well...God I don\'t even know what to say...Good luck with your new guild, glad you picked Ashes!

@Xordan - We do not require guilds or mass armies to destroy the virus of evil, only a sword and a willing soul to weild it against you is all we need...

Post by: Waylander on August 08, 2004, 01:41:00 am
Hehe Depth versus Xordan....something I would pay to see.

for once i aggree with alth (for once trust me this aint a regular accurentce ;P ) im surprised this guild lasted as long as it did...then again im constently surprised my guild still has members :P

on another note cabal did once used to have plans but they all left with auran :P
Title:
Post by: Xordan on August 08, 2004, 01:52:18 pm
All sep did was beg on his knees for promotion :P

Depthblade: lol, yeah I know, it\'ll be the same as always, the evil hordes attack the good guys, the good guys use their uber *good guy special honour bravery* stuff to somehow make themselves amazing and kill the evil hordes. Then 10 years later the same thing happens again, evil horde etc. in an endless cycle of blood fest :D The best part is that both sides lose, the evil side loses the hordes of doom, and the good guys always lose their best friend xD

We have plenty of plans... thus why we are not dead  yet.

Yet?  What are you saying Savion?
