I play with Semphere. He is my uncle. I'm quite happy being in HFH. I left HFH because I felt that, at the time, I was enjoying myself more on C4. I later found out differently. I'm back in HFH, quite happy.

I don't even have to explain any more to you. You don't deserve my words.

What a maroon.

I have gained so much from the Guild, it's not funny.

Assistance in leveling: I only get perhaps 2 hours a night 4 or 5 nights a week to play. I'm level 35. Would never have made it without the help of the guild. On top of that, my alt is level 22. More assistance there.

Mounted pets: I am allowed to use for Skill Point farming two mounted pets. Semphere has been leveling pets with the goal of everyone in the guild having them. No way I could have maxed out my Cleric Spells and Resurrection and all my passives without the help of the guild. I was barely able to get pets up to level 10 on my own. With Semphere's help, we're seeing mounted, level 31, pets getting passed around and used by all members of the guild. Gee, you know, I seem to remember Persephony being given two pets to use and stealing them ...

Money: I have not run out of money since joining the guild. It's all pooled and I always have enough for what I need.

Potions/Scrolls/etc: I have been given multiple skill point scrolls, experience point scrolls, greatest healing potions, attack potions, defense potions, mana potions. And as Guild Alchemist, I create many of the minor ones and give them away to the rest of the guild members and allies by the hundreds.

Armour/Weapons: We are working so everyone in the guild will have dragon weapons and horse armour. Until then, the armour builders get the raw materials from the whole guild and make the armour. What we've saved in making it probably exceeds 100million.

Gifts: Semp *gave* me a set of Japanese armour. I've been given other Item Mall stuff, too.

Gee, yeah, I feel soooo abused. How ever will I put up with the fact that my Real Life comes first and what small amount of time I get to play I am appreciated, well liked, helped by all guild members, kept up to date on what the guild is doing, and given a place where my talents and play style are not only tolerated, but accepted and encouraged. Oh, woe is me!

There's a senseless tirade if ever I've read one. For starters, why don't you give us a name? How are you involved with HealersForHire and what are your experiences with them? This certainly sounds like Persephony's propaganda but it doesn't have his writing style. Perhaps he put you up to this or perhaps you're one of those who decided to leave an inflammatory message on the party registration list yesterday. Or someone else entirely. What's your stake in this?

Everyone in the guild is there because they've made a conscious agreement to abide by the guild rules. They're not naive juveniles. They're mothers, fathers, students, in work and have lives and responsibilities outside the game. Just because the system is unorthodox (noncapitalist), doesn't make it amoral or ineffectual. Far from it. I'd argue the quasi-socialist structure is more morally transparent than other guild frameworks. Unfortunately, as evidenced by Persephony's theft, it's not immune from being exploited. But they have recovered and will continue to prosper. Semphere really has put it more eloquently than I could: they're a cohesive unit of good friends all working toward a common goal and trying to have a good time. I'm sick of the torrents of abuse they receive from smallminded idiots like you. If you're going to flame someone, "TheFire", get your facts straight.

Newsflash - you can't convince people of your lies when they can simply dig up the truth for themselves. You sad, pitiful little man. Get over yourself and leave my friends alone. I'm tempted to just press the "delete" option, but a reply is so much sweeter.

As for my nephew, that's Asuka and he's a happy guild member. My cousin's step-son is another issue altogether, and he's not in this guild due to a difference of opinion. He's more into individual play than team play. It's a question of troupe vs. individual mode of play.

I'm not "always trying to recruit young, naive members" as you put it. I prefer more mature players. In fact, I'm younger than Melanne and Zeraphym, near the age of Azrin and DonnieBrasco, and older than a few others. We're a diverse crowd. I don't go out recruiting people - they come to us.

"Wake up, get out while you" blah blah blah. If anyone here is a control freak, it's the person trying to manipulate everyone who applies to our guild with illogical arguments and trying to sneak into our forums. We suspected it was you or someone you put up to signing up to our forums before you even posted.

As for the +10 stuff, I don't have +10 anything - the only +10's are with other guildmates. I'm in horse armor so they have better gear. I usually only use my dragon bow, too. These are things people can SEE FOR THEMSELVES in game.

The bow I'm using right now cost the guild 10m. It's a +9 bow purchased with money obtained from sale of item mall items. Ask V1ru5 what he's bought from me. When someone else in the guild can use it, it goes to them because I've got my dragon bow.

We've NEVER taken anyone's drops during the trial period. They're still independant there. They can give us stuff if they want, but it's neither required nor does it influence our final decision.

I'm not a "control freak" or "Pompousass" or whatever other labels you wish to put on me. I am a guildmaster; I am a leader and a servant combined.

And if you want truth, here's truth, thief...
I've trained up nearly every mount in this guild on my own. I've harvested tons of materials, invested countless hours, and bought lots of gifts. I've sold things from the item mall to raise money for gear. What have you done for anyone other than yourself, basement-boy?

Here's another newsflash, basement-boy: your opinion matters only to you. You're a leech, you've always been a leech, and you always will be a leech. You used our guild for your own benefit until I asked you to help them in return for their help. You know that, and your guilty mind can't rest unless you play this little game. You still never party with people lower level than you. You've been using Untamed from the moment you joined and laughing all the way to the bank.

Open your eyes - levels aren't everything. Among my guild, my allies, and my friends, we've got each other. You've got nothing but another "flavor of the week" to use and discard, just like in your real world life. Don't bother responding to this thread or posting here again. It doesn't matter how many times you come here and post your lies, Persephony, those who really know me know the truth. They see it in our guild working as a team for the benefit of everyone in the guild, not just a select few.

It's always been that way, but you choose to live in your world of self-deception. You seek to convince others of your lies to lend a bit of credibility to them. You won't feel as bad about yourself if you can convince others that you're the victim here - truth is, you distort reality everywhere because you can't cope with it.

Get a life, get over it, and go away. So what if you've leeched your way to a higher level than us. Start your own guild with a new character, build what I've built better than I've built it, THEN tell me how to run a guild. And until you do, why don't you change your IGN to Pompousass, basement-boy?

ROFL You're such a sad sack. Have a nice life.

A possible enemy exposure
Submitted by Persephony on Thu, 04/26/2007 - 01:14.
Recently Michka has been pressuring me to leave H4H. Citing that i am "being taken advantage of" and that i "could do much better in UNTAMED". I have also been informed that Shayla is interested in me and that a place would be mace for me in UNTAMED as soon as i wanted it. Shayla may be one of the, as of yet, unexposed enemies of H4H. keep your ears open. And remember that "loose lips sink ships" I would prefer that this matter be kept under the table for now as it is possible that more info may yet be recieved through this source.
