Somfas. I commend you for the post, for the content, not the wall of text with no punctuation and lack of paragraphs. :)

This will most likely be my last post here on TI, so I will set it up with some background... you know, because I need to make my post a competitor in the wall of text competition that this thread has started. :)

Anyhow. My last 24 game was the one that I posted a screenshot from during the AB weekend where Holy Crit was rolling 10 24s. I am not quitting the game or even 24s right now, but I am taking a break to level a new 90. I decided to roll a priest and I am at 88 1/2 already! I will probably get bored once I hit 90 and get all geared up. I expect the boredom to set in within a month and you'll probably see me on my 24s again.

Also, I was not planning on using TI anymore but Nesyla pulled me back in and I found myself reading this thread, Nesyla.... check PMs for my answer.

When I came back to Wow after a 6 month break, I rolled a new 19 and quickly realized what I already knew and reverted to my 24s again. I retrofitted the 24s (and 21 rogue) that I enjoyed playing with the new enchants (I quit before that patch) and all and hit the battlegrounds running. My favorite 24s were horde at that time and I got into some pugs with that druid in Holy Crit that streams on Twitch (can't recall name off the top of my head). I ended up queing with him and one of his friends and ended up getting on Raid Call with them... I hate raid call btw. Anyhow. I decided to transfer my priest and rogue to Azuremyst to play with them and ended up joining Holy Crit.

I posted a watered down, diplomatic reason that I left Holy Crit a few weeks ago, but I guess I'll just say that it wasn't the right fit. I don't GY farm and the games I got into with Holy Crit normally ended in that so I quit queuing with them. I didn't enjoy the /g chat much either... too much high school cafeteria chatter. Too many egos from players that were not that good. I was honest when I said that there were some really helpful members in the guild though. There were always a few of the members offering to run people through gnomer and such. Bottom line, Holy Crit wasn't my type of guild but what 24 guild is? 90% of them probably wouldn't suit me and my ideals. After a couple months in the bracket again, I know I wouldn't like many of the guilds. HolyCrit and Sanctuary are pretty much the same thing. Luckily for me, Honeybadger didn't want me in Sanctuary when I 1st came back a few months ago. Saved 50 or so bucks on that. Thanks HB. :) Anyhow, I left at the 1st opportunity. That opportunity was with some old Vanilla/BC friends from the Vengeance BG.

@Somfas - Again, I commend you for your post and your attitude. It's great to see others with similar views and conviction.

Thanks Brainwash for allowing me to hide out in your guild for a month or so. It wasn't for me, but good luck.

To all the Twink Info members, especially those that were members when I created TI, Thanks for all the memories. I need to walk away from the site. The overall attitude on this site is toxic and I don't need that shit. I don't play this game to have conversations with the types that have taken over TI. Reading that thread posted by @Khoas made this a good choice for me.

Peace. If anyone wants to contact me, feel free to add me on Realid, but please tell who you are in the request. Torlaan#1210

Again Somfas. Thanks for this thread. I don't know you, but reading your lead post, as hard as it was to read, helped me to realize you are the kind of player I would roll with.

Yeah don't know how I'm repeating myself Mr. Somfas, I just stated what he did and does. Seems to me that like the people on this website you have failed to understand why Duo is Duo. He's not this teddy bear that's going to change is view on life because people "hate" him. Somfas you been through a lot but this website and all it's griefing.... This is really what u want to hear? Yeah somfas! No one understands you and Duo' relationship. So why should you be talking about it so publicly. Is it because you know the site has purposely perma banned him? So you could be safe in your bubble since he can't answer?

If anyone stabbed some one in the back it was Somfas to Holycrit. Not to Duo... Holycrit is a guild a group of people, much like a family and you trying to destroy that isn't appreciated. I am uninformed...well so be it. The trolls on this site know 90% less. If this is what u need to feel better. Random people making fun of you. Then perfect!

LOL, you keep posting i see :) thats great and i think you like the publicity as much as anyone else and FYI Duo can and will read this through an anonymous user or through the people who repeat it to him :) really? omg, thats crazy!!! Althouogh, Duo is usually cooler than that and doesn't care what people think, like you said, he would most likely get a good laugh and call me a whiny little bitch lol. I expect and hope he does, and you say it's all griefing? you haven't read shit then. once again, talking out the side of your neck with your eyes wide shut. I actually got some awesome compliments from people that know me well.
Why did i do this "Publicly", this is Twink Info bro, this is the forum, this is where YOU are reading and posting right now and this is OUR community , our family, just as Holy Crit is. This is where Duo did his posting that he got banned for and many many others have expressed whatever they feel like. This is where i can speak to people that i will not otherwise get a chance to let know what happened from my side and also for the people that wouldn't otherwise know what happened OR would hear misinformation and others opinions, like yours.
I think the griefing I do get is expected and appreciated, everyone has their right to express what they want and how they want, burn this post for all i care. I didn't say you were repeating yourself, you really would do good to read what you write and read what you're writing about (just like i would do good to use proper english sentencing and paragraphing in my posts). I said your redundant statements were already covered by what i had already said, you wrote like i hadn't already covered it in my wall of text.
I am more curious about what you are trying to accomplish than what i have already done by communicating with our community one of the biggest decisions in my twinking life and giving a (not brief) history of how Holy Crit Twinks came to be and my experience in game in order to let the people that care know and if someone that doesn't know any of us comes across this post and reads the whole thing, who cares. NOTHING i am writing will in ANY way affect what people feel about Duo, it doesn't even affect what i think about him.
The effect this post will have on anyone in 4 months is so negligible that i could write anything i want but i didn't, and for you to assume that this is hurting Holy Crit is absurd, people love it or hate it for their own reasons, not because that whiny little emo bitch Somfas made a post on TI. nuff said.. and the to the gRamMer QwEenZ /lick
 
Guilds are communities, Inoobupro, and often similar to families.

[MENTION=13975]Somfas[/MENTION]. Please don't let duo make you sad, angry, or anything, you did the right thing and he is trying to claw you back into the guild, which is understandable considering what you've done in the past for Holy Crit.

You seriously deserve only the best.

Somfas got me into PvP and the bracket. A whole new aspect to the game I found I enjoyed immensely.
I immediately fell in love with the group dynamic, too. Somfas and Bacon wouldn't allow anyone to ruffle my feathers, and Duo always jumped at a moment's notice to get me an enchant or would help me get the next piece of gear. And, God forbid should anyone insult me in a BG... so chivalrous the lot of them!
I learned a lot as I scrubbed up one BG after another, but they continued to let me roll with them. Even when I refused to camp the graveyard. =)

Sadly, I found out just yesterday Kopan was removed from Holy Crit . Guilty by association? I've no idea. It doesn't matter, I hold no grudges.
I still love them all and I will still giggle every time I hear Duo say "Goddamn it!" <3
 
Wait….you mean the guys that double cap f2ps and then spend the next 16 minutes gy farming with the the flag really are D.Bags?

Holy crit is the biggest joke in the bracket and Duo is king clown but every single one of these guys are runner up.

Somfas…bro…you made three major mistakes.
1) there are no friendships online…no face to face, no consequence…no remorse (just reroll when caught)
2) if someone acts like a d.bag, they are a d.bag…internet just amplifies poor behavior…see above.
3) you booted the wrong guy (yourself). get back in game and play with your friends…make a new guild…boot the 123 guys that are duo wannabe's..w/e

or get outside…and remember it's just a video game and laugh at yourself for getting too vested….then come back inside and play again with a clean slate.

It's funny you say that, we just opened all the windows on what is turning out to be a beautiful 70 degree day!! You are right, it is just a game, but it's a game that i play with and interact with other people, real people behind their computers, real people that i have spoken to in Ventrillo, many of which I have exchanged skypes with, phone numbers with, met for lunch with, some i have had flirtatious (hu hummm) relationships with and one that i fell in love with and am typing this from her home in Missouri from my computer that is sitting right next to her computer on the bar between the dining room and the kitchen that i met in "Game"!!! so for you or anyone that EVER makes a statement that it's not personal and that these relationships and friendships aren't real, you are sadly mistaken and i feel sad that you haven't had the extreme pleasures of developing, and yes sometimes, just like "IRL", losing friendships and relationships that do exist in this social environment. THIS is as real as it gets bud, BUT, if it is truly "just a game" for you and no one you interact with means anything but a digital image to you then more power to you, i cannot separate my humanity, not even in a game. The answer to the next thought is YES, I absolutely do the same thing outside the game, I interact, develop relationships, and sometimes get lost along the way and need to cut ties and hide out for a while till i can get my senses back or find, if possible, a way to repair any dammage i may have caused in my rampage or whiny little pussy emo wall of text competition!! I am not so sure that anything can be repaired this time with certain people, i have gone beyond what most people will feel comfortable accepting as behavior that they care to try and repair and if thats the way it is , i accept that, there are things i won't tolerate either, thats the thing about life, it's simple and yet so very complex!! Live strong my family!! Good bad or ugly, we are all in this together!! <3 Somfas out
 
That's awesome. I'm glad you'e found happiness at the intersection of the real and virtual. More power to you. By the same token…do remember not everyone feels the same…and not all people are good (my bias)…and then move the fck on. Seem like you have plenty of good things in life to not overly sweat the bad. Don't know you, but tons of folks have gone down the route of getting too deeply involved to their own detriment.

And please, for the love of all that you hold holy, use paragraphs.
 
Online friends can become IRL friends ! I played with a toon in our guild for 4 yrs before we discovered we lived in the same town .We have all met and gone out for real life activities and our families have all met an done the big BBQ thing -Nice you met someone here and it evolved into something else :eek:
