Let me put it this way.

Most of us Paladins try to fight AGAINST all the Halo fanboys, telling them not to overdo the posts and all of that stuff. Most of us Paladins aren't Halo fans and, a lot of us, would say that Halo is overrated, old, and better games are all over the world.

So. Then you post, despite being a member, which is why I won't OUTRIGHT flame you, that you just made a Halo guild-- asking us, of course, to join up in that guild, which would, if anything, represent what 90% of us can safely claim that we hate.

This just ain't the place for it. At all.

You know, we COULD just redirect the Halo fanbrats to the guild, and clean up the VGD. It's actually a pretty good idea. (we tried this with the Zelda subforum people too--not sure how successful it was though, since I haven't been great about searching throught the VGD recently...)

I know what you mean. I was just replying to the fact he was calling us "ingrates" for not bothering to join.

Like I said above:

1. Most of us Paladins DISLIKE Halo. Or find it overrated. We won't be tossing our gold away for stuff we hate.

2. We're posting now, aren't we?

3. You're a Paladin? Are you sure? Not to pick at you or anything, but the way you act, spell, speak.. well. It leads me to think that if anything, you're not.. really.. good, in arguments. AT ALL. Which would mean you wouldn't be such a very good Paladin..

OK, Drium, I've been trying to just let you do stuff your way, but I think it's time I said something.

This may be the wrong place to be asking this, but you should really learn some tact. People respond much better when they aren't being attacked or seeing people undeserving of such attacked. It's important for doing your job as a Paladin, as well.

Also, I don't think that you can speak for the rest of the Paladins on their opinion of Halo. I think that most will agree that it is overrated, but that doesn't make it a bad game. It just means that people are more enthusiastic about it than they are about breathing. I think anything would be overrated at that point. Personally, I hate the fanbrats--the game isn't too bad. I haven't exactly played a lot, but it is well done. You really shouldn't hate something because the fanbrats are so obnoxious and numerous.

We are here to teach, remember? We are not elitist flamers. One does NOT need to be the ultimate argument-winner to teach. We are trying to make Gaia a more user-friendly place, not beat down everyone who has a different opinion.

That a good enough argument for you? Oh, and please let me know if there are any flaws in my logic. I'd love to hear what those are. Perhaps you should (re-)read the rules/guidelines for being a Paladin.

Well, first, I'm answering on the basis that he called us ingrates to start with for the sheer fact that most of us, or at least, those who watch the forums, didn't show instantaneous concern over his guild business. I tend to counter fire with fire, myself, and if someone insults me, although I don't use the big words, I won't try to HUG them.

It's true that I can't speak for the rest of the Paladins-- but I've met enough of them, or at least, talked to, to know that Halo is, declared by a majority, overrated. I said hate-- my mistake. I didn't mean to put it that way, but it's the only word I found at the time. Dislike is more like it. I'm not saying it's a bad game-- I'm saying the fanboys make it look bad, and as such, people grow tired of hearing about it. And I grew tired to the point of hating the game.

I'm aware. Then again, I could point to Kedian's sig (which says Newb Haterz, or something along those lines, the font hurts my eyes) pointing to this guild. Sure, it's a big joke, but it doesn't specifically protect the fact that we teach and don't flame, does it?

Also, I insist that a good Paladin /should/ be able to defend himself in an argument. Sure, you don't need to WIN. But if you do, and that's assuming you do it WITHOUT flaming, spamming or insulting, then you prove that you know what you're talking about-- and a VideoGame Paladin should know what he's talking about-- right?

I don't see any flaws in your logic. You're following rules and guidelines, which I tend not to follow because they put a limit on how far I can go. But so far, I've respect the VGP's guidelines.

Are you blind enough to shoot me instead of shooting the one who started this by calling us all ingrates? Or who's almost going "omg donate u nebs" because a good ammount of us aren't interested in his guild?

Well, I'm standing still. Don't miss me.

You do realize that I wasn't defending him, right? You also realize that you were making a personal attack on him, outside of the Halo guild bit, right? I was mainly commenting on the arrogance and conviction of your own superiority that you seem to show in just about every post that I see from you. Oh, and I don't find Kedian's signature too offensive--I haven't seen him attacking anyone, in any of the numerous posts I have seen from him.

Also, you don't have to be a spelling/grammar genius to know what you're talking about, just to make it easy to understand. Considering the skills of most people on Gaia, he shouldn't really have any problem. Complain at the people who misspell "me," not the people who you can understand without much trouble.

And since you're so annoyed about this guild thing, allow me to demonstrate how you handle things like this.

"Zhu, it's been up here a while, and apparently people aren't interested. We aren't going to post or donate if we have no interest in the guild. Please just let the thread die."

Was that so hard? I've seen newbs pull far worse than "ingrates" and not get flamed. I also think that was meant more his frustration that we weren't joining than trying to insult us. You're great at supporting your arguments, I'll give you that, but you need to learn to pick your battles and not piss people off every time you turn around.

Eh, my post went poof so here's the stupidly short version.

My sig is a joke. Most people that have seen me post before will know that unless they only recognize my paper bag sexx0rness. If Darc asks me to remove it because he thinks it's an attack on the guild or because it gives people the wrong image of the guild I will remove it, but until then or until I get fed up of pretending to be a n00b/moron (not a newbie) I will be keeping it.

Yay for forgetting to copy before hitting preview.

Yeah, your sig is a joke, his attitude isn't. Jokes I don't have a problem with; someone attacking others for not living up to his standards, I do. The HC approved him, if you have a problem, take it up with them.

I just thought I'd post something seeing as I've seen quite a few posts about my sig. I don't have a problem with anyone in the guild though so I fail to see why you posted that last bit, which seems a bit hostile, unless it wasn't directed at me.
