I was just trying to say, is that the actions of you and those present in BB reflected poorly upon you and your guild to those that were present defending our homeland. If you would have left the area instead of hanging around, and to what people interpreted as, taking advantage of the high spawn rate, no dp due to event, and safety of having a portal nearby, this negative player fame would not have happened. No amount of reasoning behind it, or story-telling (in an RP aspect) will simply dismiss what people saw and subsequently think of you and your guilds actions in BB. These people did not see those of your guild fighting over on the Witherings side (heck even some zorai didn't notice
Of which I applaud them in aiding in the fight, in their best ability, against this threat to Atys.
Thanks for the apology, Zzei, and the explanation. I can understand where you are coming from. Apparently, to those players who were dedicated to completing the event, the members of LoT at the portal looked to be and opportunistic and selfish bunch, who contributed nothing to the event as a whole and possibly even got in the way. At the least, it must have been frustrating to see a group of ten or so hanging about and not aiding in the larger group effort. I've tried in this thread, to the best of my ability, to explain that LoT is a Kami-aligned guild and that that is the reason we did not join in the group effort, which was a Karavan-arranged affair. I've also been honest and open about feeling confused about what I should do during the event, and how that confusion led me to be part of a group camping the spot by the portal.
As Nuit stated in her posts, no individual member (save perhaps Kaena) can speak for the whole of Light of Trykoth. I was out of place when I posted my post in the "Saturday Night Threat" thread; I'm not a LoT spokesperson, but I acted that way. Likewise, anything I post in this thread or in any other should not be taken as representative of the guild as a whole, but as one guild member's perspective.
When I participated in killing Cutes and Gibbai at the portal to Bounty Beach with others, I did not intend to disrespect or mock the effort of those players who were intent on completing the Karavan mission; that thought never crossed my mind. I was just enjoying the teamwork that our group had going on.
I'm not a griefer; I don't find spoiling others fun or efforts enjoyable. I also don't enjoy arguing with people, but I do have enough self-respect to face a confrontation and not take derogatory or abusive statements lying down.

As far as
thexdane saying:
yes you do have a problem with it or you wouldn't have been in this discussion as much as you have been.
you are an opportunistic. you are taking advantage that your guild "participated" and "defended" your homeland. i'm sure that if the karavan was the winning side you would be saying how you helped them and blah blah
I am not an opportunistic and I resent you calling me an adjective!
Seriously, if the Karavan won, I wouldn't have claimed to have had any part of it, because I wouldn't have; none of Light of Trykoth would have had anything to do with the Karavan "winning." What you don't seem to get, thexdane, is that Light of Trykoth, from it's inception, has been a Kami-oriented guild. In order to be a member, you have to agree to a certain ideology; namely, you will work towards reconciling Trykers with the Kami. If you read the history of Atys, you will find that the Tryker were once very close with the Kami. We want to go back to that, and don't want any part of the Karavan.
Furthermore:
this isn't the only time you have been like this tho, the thing is you can't have one set of rules somewhere and yet follow another set somewhere else.
i mean let's say you feel like roleplaying in around chat and then make racist remarks in region chat but say "oh that's not a roleplaying area" i'm sorry but that just does not happen
you are trying to have the best of both worlds and unfortunately you can't have that.
I see now what is going on. You are either the player of Bogardus or another Matis who was with him one night when we bumped into each other in-game. Yes, I was roleplaying in around chat. Yes, I did the "Mellodi glances at Bogardus suspiciously" emote, as you were harvesting not far from me in Lakelands. Your response, in around chat, was "hahaha! Your oil is mine, now!" or something to that effect. So, I (Mellodi) launched into a fiery tirade in around chat. The two Matis called me a racist and I denied it; after all, I wasn't being racist, but reacting to the situation--a Matis laughing and taunting about how he was staking a claim on lakeland oil. Then ensued an argument about me making racist anti-Matis comments in region, and it is true, there were some comments made, but I didn't think I was the one who had made them; anyway, I said it didn't matter b/c I don't rp in region. I've posted about this
here, if you care to take a look. In fact, here's the excerpt:
"Region chat generally isn't used for RP. It's your more casual, shoot-the-breeze, jokey type of chat. I and other members of Light of Trykoth make it a habit to RP in around. I still do this when others aren't; they usually "get it" after a minute or two and play along. One cool thing about Ryzom so far is that I have yet to get a "WTF r u talk1ing about?" type of response to RP."
Bottom line? I don't see any reason to RP in region, since it doesn't make sense to me to do so.
Anyway, enough of that long-winded explanation. My point is, you've been all over me in this thread as well as in the "Saturday Night Threat" one, and it seems to me it's simply because you don't like me, and have a bit of a grudge. You seem to feel that I was being dishonest when I claimed to not RP in region, and that I was trying to weasel my way out of something, and you feel that I am being dishonest about my participation or lack of partipation in the tribal invasion event; you think that is how I am, period. This is just not true.
