Hi Folks! I will not post who did this to my guild and me, but I want to bring attention to this matter to
(1) warn new Guild leaders who may not know the chances we take when giving an Officer title, and also
(2) so that pirates out there understand why Officer rank may not be an easy rank to get.
Someone I thought was a "friend" whom I trusted, stabbed me in the back yesterday and booted 5 members.
First the "bad officer" booted a member that currently was on, and he tried to say it was a mis-click. There is no way a boot can be a mis-click because you have to click Guild, then Remove Member. He said he meant to "whisper" to the guy, which is a bunch of bull. As I was telling him it's not acceptable to joke around like that, and as I was just about to demote him, I dc'd. As I was logging back in, another officer was in discord telling me that the guy had booted 3 more folks along with the member he had already booted (someone had invited him back). I immediately asked him to screen it and send it to me so I knew exactly what was going on before I made any rash decisions. As I logged in, this unnamed scrub along with an accomplice was trying to blame another Officer for the boots.
That's enough of the story to get the idea of what happened.
- Guild leaders, choose Officers wisely. This had happened to us in Potco once also. 2 officers went wild together and had booted 10 folks at once (5 each). I strive to keep drama out of our guild family. People like this are the cause.
- To folks who ask their GM for Officer rank, please understand that asking for the promo isn't really acceptable, for exactly this reason.
It's really tragic when someone you thought was a friend - that you wanted to trust and give a chance to - could do this to me. I don't deserve that kind of treatment and neither does my guild family.
On another note, I feel malicious behavior like this should be punishable by some type of ban.
