Roots Conflict

This is posted with the utmost respect for Electrometrix (who's having some problems posting & thus my intervention to save the day and keep the general public abreast of today's happenings) and a tear of sadness for his inability to author this on his own.

Our Ally... Protectors of Atys... Karavan guild known throughout the lands would like to issue a formal warning to all members of Melinoe to be weary while traversing any PvP zone as the Protectors of Atys are hereby declaring war on Melinoe.

As you already hate the messenger... I'll leave it at that.

Warmongering,

We laugh at your warning.

If this stays in PvP zones and is at least role-played outside of PvP zones I am all for it. I fear the latter is beyond your comprehension.

Inviting someone to a duel 20 times in a row while they are busy crafting or in the middle of fight with mobs, intentionally dragging aggro on to players, kill stealing, personal threats and constant profanity directed at players is harassment. This type of behavior seems to be common place for Infinity and PoA members. It comes as no surprise they are allies.

I miss the days of old when guilds such as CP knew the meaning of role playing and had fun with it.

But you got me on the fun part.... clearly I'm not having fun with it.

Standing corrected by the Infinite (note the guild plug there... Infinite... witty eh?) wisdom of others,

I will keep it strictly to role-playing as I have friends in Melinoe, and harbor no personal grudge to any Melinoe member.
I can't understand where or when you've gotten the impression that we're
inviting someone to a duel 20 times in a row while they are busy crafting or in the middle of fight with mobs, intentionally dragging aggro on to players, kill stealing, personal threats and constant profanity directed at players is harassment.
and that "this type of behavior" is "common place" for PoA members. I have never participated in such actions, nor have I plans or a wish to do so.

I know my guildmates to be friendly and helpful, not savage brutes. I have no idea what led to this so-called war, but as with most things, it was most likely a trifle.

Difference of opinion. Im sure both guilds are doing they percieve to be "the right thing". However there must have been one moment where this clashed between 2 groups and its escalated from there.

Yes they are allied guilds. Brithlem was doing Electrometrix a favor by being the messenger here. Can you point me to the part that say Infiinity are at war with Melinoe too or will have anything to do with this conflict? Not all alliances are formed as a military alliance

(if Infinity are already at war with Melinoe then you can forget that last bit)

Okee, I am not aware of teh guild symbol of either guild involved, but I am wearing a broccoli, a very green symbol.

Also television taught me (Dinosaurs) that WAR is an acronym for "We Are Right".

I agree with Nerriah, no need to generalise my guild are all kill stealers and such, maybe some guildies reacted a bit too much, but from what i heard our guild leader was down, asked for a rezz with a melinoe member near, he said he'd be right there, walked next to him, then said "oh, it's you, hahaha" then walked off without rezzing.

I find such behaviour provoking, this is, as i think, part of the reason for the declaration of war. Personally i know no Melinoe members, but since there is no DP involved in PVP, if i can, for roleplay's sake, i will kill Melinoe members as a support to my guild leader and husband.

In a now lost civilization, broccoli once represented peace. And besides, it does not, I repeat NOT, taste good.

Nothing like a good conflict to light things up down there in the darkness.
