An open and honest invitation

Post by Zebulon »

I have recieved a few disturbing communications and it appears that some people never change, despite being given every chance to do so.  Such terms as "honesty" "integrity" and "honour" are nothing more than fancy buzz words to be thrown around when it suits.  

I lost a good player from my team this week.  In no way shape or form do I blame that player for their choice.  He had the honour and courage to tell me why he had chosen to do so and for that I thank him - DKH do not deserve you my friend.  Thank you for giving the -=REAVERS=- your time and supreme efforts.

What I do object to is the dishonest way that was used to approach this player, and that several other members of my clan were deliberately targeted by the leader of DKH in a concerted campaign designed to undermine any strength that my mob has been able to regain over a peroid of inactivity.  This method of recruitment is both underhand, dishonest and unworthy of someone who claims to be a VOID Veteran.

Sure- people change clans - some change them more often than their underpants.  I have no objection to people being approached - but to constantly bombard them with requests even after being told "no thank you" is a slap in the face to anyone who has a clan of their own.  

I have been approached by some and have always told them to be up front about leaving their clan before jumping ship.  I do not make it a habit to approach and pester tagged clan players and if I have ever spoken to a clan member about joining I have asked ONCE and if refused I have left it at that - it has also tended to be when they are in their non clan characters that this has happened.

So - to the point of this post and as a counter to the underhanded way that my members have been approached:

-=REAVERS=- would like to invite those who feel the need for a change from their present routine.  Our RP is not an easy one and it is one that on the whole we tend to stick to unless circumstances dictate that communication is required to resolve certain technical issues or in game queries - this comes mainly from the leadership - ie ME.. !

I am pleased to say that most former members were able to handle the tough RP very well and with very few exceptions.  I am pleased to say that all of the current members have held to the tradition of silence under some very difficult circumstances and I am also very happy that in the absence of concerted leadership they have been able to act as independant raiders or have had the self discipline to organise their war bands when more than one of them are on at a time.  We are presently working on an offsite webpage and are currently getting all existing -=REAVERS=- on board before opening it to a general audience.  This turned out to be something that I did not expect.  There was an expected limited life to this mob - but thanks to the current and past members it seems to be something that is here to stay on the VOID, at least for as long as I am here!

This is an open invitation to all members of DKH to be part of a well disciplined and self motivated mob that undertake to promote a very difficult RP and not to deviate from it where at all possible - unlike some clans that claim to be one thing and then deviate from it at a moments notice...!  This is also an open invitation to other members of other clans who feel the need for a change.  It is also an invitation to any freelancers that feel they can undertake a tough RP such as the one the -=REAVERS=- have chosen to adopt.  

There is one proviso - All members of other clans are required to inform their leadership of their wish to change over. I am making this invitation public to counteract the present underhand and subversive recruitment activities used by Xenon. I'm sure I'm not the first victim of this practice and I doubt I will be the last! This is to  aviod any ill feeling from other clans and prevents any multi clanning concerns and conflicts.  Please PM me in the first instance if you have any interest in joining the -=REAVERS=- mob.   Members of DKH are most welcome, but please remember that treachery will be treated in kind.  Now dont all rush at once......... ;)

Many thanks - Zeb  :D

First of all - Your EX-MEMBER who left you , did so because REAVERS is inactive (his words - not my words) although i see it DEAD clan at moment.

Secondly - i didn't target your players - as i dont see any Reavers player for months online... so i think if i decided to target your players with my recruiting machines then i won't find anyone from Reavers online at anytime.

Third thing is - i like ur open invite to my clan members , and i wish u good luck with your Reavers clan

LoL...
Anyhow...I wish you GL with the Reavers Zeb. I`m currently struggling to finish the last two of my exams(these are for me to enter the Polytechnics University of Bucharest) and afterwards I`m taking a two-week vacation in the mountains with my friends. Two weeks of hiking and sleeping in a tent and all of that you know. We might see each other online afterwards. :D

Wondered how long it would take for DKH Magnum aka Xenon to respond ...... HA! and nice move for borrowing the silence RP, obviously copying a successful move from a "dead" clan - all I see is "dead" DKH players toasted by the remaining -=REAVERS=- that do turn up  - so  lets see if you can have better success sticking to that RP than you have as pseudo nomads  - the only proper nomad clan around here is the Eclipse ! You are a poacher mate and you know it. And I was not just refering to the honourable gentleman that chose to leave - As always READ the post before responding - you have approached OTHER players in an underhand manner - Stop doing it - its bad form and agrivates  those who are at the very least attempting to build something honourable rather than just numbers so u can boast about how "tough" you guys are.  So how about the DKH who left because of your underhand tactics? As always you forget to mention the obvious.

This is quite amusing - whoops that will cause flames...  :-SS

Zeb I wish you the best of luck m8. The REAVERS RP is a tough one to uphold and the players that succeed in doing so, have my respect. I hope Reavers will fill Void space for quite some time to come. So good luck recruiting.

its a really good job none of us are leopards then. fortunately were not all narrow minded like that.
someone said once, its human to hate but devine to forgive.
Was actually on MSN about 2 hours ago, extrordinary how things come at the right time isnt it.


[quote="Zebulon";p="177470"]you have approached OTHER players in an underhand manner[/quote]

that just dont make sense to me. as many should have told u.
Recruiters show the door. We show the DKH door to whoever we see fit, its the players choice wether he wants to walk through it. we dont put a gun to there head like u seem to think. surely you of all people could see that, being a clan leader & a Void.

[quote="Zebulon";p="177470"]
those who are at the very least attempting to build something honourable rather than just numbers so u can boast about[/quote]

do i detect a hint of the green bug in this? like i said, no one puts a gun to there head and forces them to join.

all i got to say.

@ zebulon

are u angry ? cause yr tone seems angry .. dont be..

first of all , the only member in DKH from Reavers before is HORMON and u can ask him YOURSELF if i keept asking him to join like u saying ... and u will find out that you mistaken in judging this.

you say that i take players from your clan and other's clans , i see u only saying this - i dont find any clans saying this except u ,, Reavers....

u say that my RP is Pseudo Nomads

Well

Your RP is Pseudo ROUGE ,,,,

Finally - im sick of what u saying , tbh , u need check your words again cause u say much about me doing and its all not true.

PS: there is many things in ur post about me handling my clan wrong and numbers is not good and wont help and many thnngs else which i find NONE of ur buisness , this is clan buisness which is discussed by all members in a very sharing manner to get all the side and members of clan voting and deciding thier fate....

Yeah...I agree on this one. Leaving all the forum nonsense aside let your guns do the talking as always or solve your quarrel in PM`s.  :) i`m not trying to offend anyone I`m just saying. Zeb your open invitation has been made. Xenon you spoke your mind. Let`s keep the forums clean. Again I`m not pointing fingers or criticizing anyone. I`ll be joining the fight on-line as soon as I finish my exams and I return from my holiday. :D

well hmmm xenon i think u annoyed zeb and through him me :D BAD IDEA =P~

i also saw the new DKH member :-?

im inactive till i get a new fl disk

like zeb says ye do change ye spots

example once i ask ye what ye were while i was in me Fianna char and i was told ye were domkavosh
then again i asked because i heard that ye were nomads
then i got a bit confused then i broke down the DKH name Domkavosh hive this dosent make sence domkovosh were a seperated alien race more powerful than that of nomads

so get your freelancer history right before you give out

im also with zeb on the whole poucheing other peoples clan members i dispise this with all me fury

on the honor thing its does not exsits any more which is a shame since this shows that you have a mature attude and also make you more apealing to each other

when im back ye'll have the fury of -=REAVERS=-DARK-HAND on ye bums :D

and by the lenght of zebs post hes tought long and hard about this. so take it in but if you dont like its just leave it.

Fianna.

PS: xenon me and you didnt get on when i came back and i havent forgotten what you said to me last time and i have screenys of that {its nothing bad just what zebs going on about in this post}

HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
