Celebrating 100k accounts!

I can tell you 110% too (having no hotline to the devs either) that at no point have I ever said I wanted to be a moderator... NOT in the forums NOR in GC or AC. In fact I've said numerous times I don't want to be. You may be confusing me asking for more moderators with requesting to be one... I understand that comments that sound similar can confuse people of limited intelligence. Why have I resulted to an insult? Hell you did with no moderation, so can I! Deal with it... Bitter Sea is dead, long live the Bitter Sea. 

At no point people did I EVER say I was unappreciative of the free prestige. I asked what made number 99999 more important than number 1 or any number in between in the politest way possible (note the censored emotes) in the mood I was in. I tried to open a forum thread to discussion... NOT argument. I won't make the same mistake again. I will limit my comments from now on to the bare minimum in the forums.

Show me where I have ever shown hatred to new players!!! Show me the attacks with armies or diplomats!!! Where the  are they!?!?!? WHERE!!!! I may hate the NPG but thats as its a well and truly over posted link that is included in the 'Welcome to Illyriad' e-mail and REALLY doesn't need to be posted every five minutes in GC!

What I was doing there was supporting Beau and his reviews that have brought numerous players to the game and continue to do so even now and no doubt will do in the future too.

Call me whatever names you like... an elitist... a killjoy... a scroogish a-hole...  But at the end of the day you are not worth my bother.

Freedom of speech is something we are all meant to have in the modern world and the internet is a great way for all of us to do this. I comply within the rules of the game and forums and always have. Apparently Parennis would like to restrict this freedom for me and others.... Don't say anything that can't be opened for debate... Hence...

I opened it for discussion not insults! Calling me names is uncalled for. Should I drop to your level?

Fair play.... Wish granted Parennis you ! I won't comment anymore for anything on here and when people ask why you can answer for me as I'm not allowed to open peoples minds to ideas or thoughts and must obviously follow the other drones. Slow clap away... 

I await my ban with mirth for speaking freely on the forums now the Bitter Sea is gone, as I'm sure everyone else does.
