Join my fruit guild

[Princess Lemons]

jees...ill just let some of these comments slide...I would like to know what \"flames\" that \"I\" brought about. Sure, the orange king and I were bashing each others fruit guilds but it was purely IC and the lines between OOC and IC were not blurred or crossed. Me and the \"orange king\" are actually good friends OOC.

I was trying to set an example as to how roleplayed guild wars should work in a humorous way. in my opinion it was alot better than seeing \"I h4xx0r j00!1!!\" and in reply,\"0mg j00 h4xx0r!! I w4r 0n j00!!1 y0u 4nd your gui1d suxx0rz!!\"

Yea...Somehow that does not qualify as IC in my eyes. If anyone has a problem with what I did or am doing, PM me about it and spare the forum addition flames and spam.

Long discussions of what does and does not count as a flame will not go anywhere but deletion.  Please don\'t let a lighthearted relief of tension degenerate into the same hurt feelings and bickering that the Fruit Wars were meant to be a relief from.

I see the point of both sides here...
It\'s quite ironic how people who are so critical of other people being correct and on topic starting a lemon guild... I mean, lemons don\'t even exist in planeshift...
But for the other side, yes it was quite a good thing to do as people did get some fun outta it.. (just not me. ) and it was a bit of a relief after the mass flameing session. (Although it\'s noticable who easily people will start flaming each other at every possible opportunity. *hint, this thread*)

[Draklar]

well look what it turned into...
An action that was meant and resulted in lots of people having fun got followed by \"flaming\" thread.
Sorry lady Kada-El, you know I have a lot of respect for you, but this thread wasn\'t needed. You should have more faith in Aelya and her actions

\'Tis a pity that someone who did something good for community gets flamed for it...

[Princess Aelya]

Indeed, remind me never to care again :rolleyes:

[Kada-El]

Don?t turn what I said into something it?s not Drak.
What I said was not a flame, nor was it directed at an individual. I came here to see quite long threads by different people, on a forum which had just been declared an experiment into some strict moderation. I couldn?t understand why they were still here, unless they were there to make some point which needed making here and I needed to have that clarified. By the time I had finished posting this, the threads had been deleted, so much of what I said had been answered.
I?m sorry that it has seemed to degenerate into another bout of flaming, believe it or not, that was not my intention ? I?m beginning to think I can hardly post here anymore and have to be so careful about everything I say. I?m not going to continue what I have to say any further because I?m not helping things and I?ll probably stir just stir up trouble?..again.

[Draklar]

sorry, I didn\'t mean to sound like you flamed anyone... I ment the Altharion fellow

[Kada-El]

Sorry people, I know I can take things too seriously sometimes, but it?s just I sometimes see inequality here. When it suits people they call it just a bit of fun, but when it doesn?t, people are accused of spamming up the forums with irrelevant rubbish ? you can?t have it both ways.

I already said this, this community is too bloodlusted ^^... everyone is waiting to find a hole in other people\'s shield to shoot.

People react too harshly, even when some one is trying to cheer up the forum. And they make the same mistake over and over again. The worst part is that they think they are helping the community.
Altharion you were one of the few (Well Kada too, but she wasn\'t aware of what was happening) to dislike the joke. The majority was enjoying... unless you are a community I don\'t see how it was us who were stepping back on the community.

[King Orange]

The entire Fruit Wars thing was there to help people get over all this negativity that\'s been on the boards.  Unfortunantly some mods don\'t want people having that fun.

Everyone enjoyed them and got a good laugh out of it (Except Altharion, oh well) But I won\'t let them die.  Not while there are Lemons still alive!!

[Princess Lemons]

Yes yes...Plenty of lemony goodness to go around!!

PS: heathen oranges must be vanquished!!

And right now it suits people.

My theory for all this (*points upward*) is that everyone is bored out of their mind with the wait for CB, and as a result, they release all their stress on others. Is LLW back up yet?, that will give poeple things to do...

Last night I saw the Lemons threads, etc. developing and it seemed a little spammy but I also found it creative and satirical of other prior guild wars, so I left them.  I did delete a thread in another forum that really was totally useless spam about fruit, but I left the guild ones for the reasons I just stated.  Mogura today found them spammy, so she deleted them entirely. :-)  Ok whatever.

The \"experiment\" I announced was about stricter moderation of attacks on each others\' guilds, not about spam in this forum.  I think we\'ve been better about spam.  I have allowed the stupid \"We declare war on Guild X\" posts because I thought it spiced up the guilds\' existence--but now I think they do more harm than good.

How about let\'s try another experiment as well.  Let\'s stop expecting everything to be totally fair, totally consistent or totally whatever.  We come out here to the boards whenever we get some free time and we try to clean things up--there is no science involved and no exact measurements are taken. :-)  If you see something you think we\'ve missed, PM me and I\'ll address it or explain why I have not addressed it.

Kada, yes I probably would have deleted this thread earlier if I had been here earlier, but I\'m only here about every 24 hrs or so.  Since it kinda ended up ok by the end, I\'ll leave it.
