The New Mirth

[Davis]

Yeah, sure, we help people, and newbs are people too.

[Draklar]

I mean more like fanatic newb-helping
like Mogura...
...
ok, not that fanatic, but you get my point

[Davis]

No, we won\'t compulsively visit Linkdead threads

[Phinehas]

So, how come my arguments from the second page were so carefullly ignored? I\'m still waiting for answers.

Originally posted by Phinehas I\'m sorry but that argument doesn\'t work. All I have to do is say that \"in an RP context my guild is older\'n yours\" and I have just effectively annihilated that argument.

It really depends on your moral standard. We have a moral standard. We believe that our moral standard will bring good into the world; therefore, it is superior. The way we see it, there is nothing immoral about acknowladging this fact. Is there anything wrong with ackgnowladging when something is superior? Is believing in your moral values such a crime?

No, believing isn\'t, but forcing that belief on others is. It\'s not a crime persay, but it goes against morals. If you believe it and show it by your actions, great! But if you go around telling people, \"I am morally superior than you.\" It\'s the same as insulting someone, telling them they are inferior. That is prideful and egotistical, it\'s not helping anyone, and it is, in essence, immoral.

Not carefully ignored, my friend, but carelessly ignored. I apologize.

... OK, cool.

And again, what makes you so sure that there aren\'t many people worthy to be called morally superior?

There are. They should join Mirth.

Not forcing, spreading. And yes, others start inferior, jut as a child is inferior to an adult, but they have the capacity to morally grow. That\'s what we help in.

[Phinehas]

Ok, I can dig that. Btw I like the new mirthful you Davis.

[scobar]

Didn\'t mean to miss the heated argument.  But I\'ll offer my services to any who ask.  

And anyone who has taken some sort of defensive martial art knows what non-violent means (Avoiding violence at most cost, but when inevitable, be prepared)  That\'s how I will play in CB.

*btw half pint I need you to invite me to the guild so us 7 can beat out the other guilds in the crystal stats.

[Half_Pint]

Wow...

Why does so much always happen while I\'m away?  

Scobar, thank you for doing a better job than either Davis or I of explaining our ideas.  I\'ll invite you tomorrow.  

I truly mean what I said on this thread\'s subject line.  We are making Mirth Guild anew, and we will be non-violent unless we are forced to fight against evil actions.  There will be no more bickering with the Cabal (Davis!), no more un-Mirthful comments (Davis!), and no commanding spies (Half-Pint!).  

Thank you once more for helping me to fine-tune our beliefs to match our new actions.  I don\'t consider it an attack on Mirth; I appreciate it as a way to make us better as a whole.  Rest assured that every argument you have made will be discussed on our forums.


And, by the way, does anyone know of a free webhosting service with 20+ megs of space, decent bandwidth, FTP uploading, and PHP support?  (Without pop-ups or huge banners)  

Or am I seeking a non-existent city of gold?  

[lynx_lupo]

Hosted by freepgs cost : 00$  
20Meg /2GB bandwith
 or 50Meg /4.5GB bandwith for adding the link above  
php/mysql/ftp
more than 1DB allowed

This should be fine I guess.

[scobar]

I think that in order to apeal to people and gain respect of other guilds, we must demonstrate our leadership amongst the guilds by our in-game actions with everyone.  As of right now, I don\'t see any Mirth members or the Guild itself in the top 10 list for the crystal hunt.  Therefore, I think Mirth should get crackin on finding Crystals.  

My partner Camika and I are working on getting within the top 10 in just 15 days, but it will be tough without the guilds help.

[Davis]

I just got a new comp, worry not.

[Half_Pint]

Yes, Davis, that\'s nice...    

Actually, it\'s great news.  Welcome back!  And check your PMs.  

[Half_Pint]

Some updates:

Jess_Person has been confirmed as active one more!  Welcome back, Jess_Person!

Scobar has been promoted to level 3.  Congratulations!  

Many thanks to Scobar for the wonderful new sigs he has made for Mirth members!  They are fantastic, and yet another showcase of his incredible artistic talent!  

I\'ve just finished my science exams, and done very well.  It\'s good to know that all the time I\'m spending working is paying off!  (If I have to be away from Planeshift, at least it\'s for a good cause...   )  Now all I have to do is survive until the spring break...   X(

I have declared Mirth Guild as neutral in the event of war between any non-good guilds.  This was originally meant to deal with the seemingly impending war between CV and the Cabal.  Thankfully, this war seems to have been averted.  Mirth\'s policy of neutrality remains, however.  

I wish Mirth to you all, and may you have a wonderful, er, day or so until I post again...  

[Half_Pint]

Well, it\'s been more than a day or so before I post on this thread again, I guess.   X(

I\'m happy to announce that Entamis and Camika have joined Mirth, and both of them look to be fine additions to our community.  

And as to the issue of Shadowhand being disbanded due to spies, I am very saddened to hear this.  Shadowhand was very well organized and well-led.  I wish Yann the best of luck with whatever he decides to do now.

You go into another guilds forum and started recruiting their own members lol! Wow this is going to get good!
