Note: This is a rather shitty entry, and I’m not happy writing it, but I want to have something posted in response to the bullshit that’s going on in game recently. Feel free to ignore the rest of the entry, as it isn’t anything fun. I’m really not trying to be nasty with this entry, but more of just show that there’s two sides to the story, and I’m really not sure how things went so far downhill other than people convincing themselves of things that aren’t true.
As anyone who follows my Twitter is aware, there’s been a good chunk of dynamis crap going on over the last few days. Essentially, the linkshell was lead by a couple, one of their friends, and my boyfriend. The four got along pretty well–they were all friends, at least. Having couples lead is dangerous; things typically aren’t very balanced. Star was rather frustrated because it was very much so a “we’ve decided; we appreciate your input but you have very little say.” Recently the 4th officer quit the game, which left Star and the couple to lead. About two weeks ago, he got in a spat with one of them. He said the truth, and she wasn’t very happy. This couple hates a good friend of ours because he said the truth, and now they hate Star for it. Now they’ll hate me for it: the linkshell is run by one person. She gets what she wants, and will do anything including lie to get it.
Example: Someone wants to come SMN, not RDM. Ok. Reasonable solution: Talk to Star, who creates the parties, sometime outside of dynamis when he’s not busy, and nicely say that he needs to let said person come SMN. Yes it’s not productive, etc.. but the guy shouldn’t have to always come RDM. What happened: After Star said for him to go RDM, he fussed to another officer who went behind Star’s back and told said person it was fine to go SMN. When Star realized it, and asked “why are you not on RDM?” this other officer stepped in and lied, saying “Well, I’m dualboxing WHM and BLM, and I can’t focus, so I needed him to come SMN so he could heal better.” First of all, RDM > SMN for healing. Secondly, if you cannot focus dualboxing, you should not be dualboxing. Star later got flack for this instance, with the SMN fussing about how “it’s so sad that one officer feels like they need to lie to protect me.” You’re right, it is sad, especially since that was not the only possible option. Always with the lying, and the blaming others.
Last night, when we were discussing what was happening now that the couple has quit the linkshell, leaving it to Star, one of them popped into the linkshell and was saying how their leaving had to due with the attitude of two people. Star quickly responded yes, me and you, which, it was quite apparent that’s NOT what she meant. In some warped way, her and Arrey’s leaving is being blamed on me.
The SMN mentioned earlier and his wife are both leaving the ls to form their own. A few members also left, though we’ve still got a solid 18+ who stayed. Rev and Arrey both joined this linkshell, less than few hours after leaving this linkshell. Of course, at this point it’s not nice stuff that’s going on; everyone is getting a tell to leave, and they’re not above being incredibly nasty to Star and myself to try and “win” members to their side. Star got a message last night from a good friend, telling him he was horrible and just a lapdog, and that “bitch,” myself, had him perfectly trained. If that’s the case…I want a refund, he does NOT do what I want him to do! ;) I forget what else was said, but it was just a lot of nonsense. The SMN has no idea what’s going on, and he’s just saying some awful stuff. He’s heard everything from Rev, so of course it’s going to be biased, and since she’s not above lying…a good chunk isn’t true.
This is the second to last conversation I had with Rev, about 24 hours before she officially left the linkshell, me “causing” her to leave the linkshell. Aren’t I awful?:
The above blurred out words were names of potential officers, which I didn’t think needed to be posted publically especially since the linkshell’s no more. Again, you can see more examples of lying — she did honestly say at one point I shouldn’t be an officer because I’m dating Star, yet she was dating the ls leader and was an officer. She tries so hard to find a nice way to say what she means, but her being “nice” is her lying…is it all that hard to tell the truth? :/ And I did, DO, consider her a friend, even saying all of this. It’s not the nicest thing to do, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true and if she truely isn’t aware of what she’s doing maybe hearing it for a 3rd, 4th, 5th time will help. We’ve had an odd friendship for quite some time, but we’ve never resorted to being nasty to each other until this last conversation I had with her (where Aria is Rev’s mule):
Considering I said nothing to her between the two conversations, either she was lying when she said she “adored” me, or she talked herself into thinking I was to blame. I was 100% honest in that conversation with her, and I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. Oh well, it is what it is. She’s talked herself into hating me, which is really too bad. She and that SMN though, they’re really just making fools of themselves :/ Most of the ls is staying with Star, there’s no need for them to try and stir up trouble. If they want to leave, that’s fine, but threats of tanking the linkshell bank is rather harsh. Even if you hate Star and I, what about the other 16+ people who put in time last month towards that gil? You’re not just robbing us, you’re stealing from them too. Some “leaders.” This whole thing just makes me really sad; can’t we just be adults here?
