I'm sorry for my harsh post. I'm just not happy about losing you. We will stay friends.

In my opinion OOC friendship matters more than GP R/D anyway.

Tim, that bet I made's not looking so good for you right now. That being said, I might just do it eventually for a spell anyways, or at least do some anonymous mercing. :P

My question is... why did you apply for the military in Firehelm today?

Application denied!

Let me put it to you like this:

Raiders try and take over regions and either hold them as trophies or just vandalize them.
Defenders try and stop the raiders from getting in.

Generally, defenders have a hard time stopping raiders because raiders tend to use unfair advantages to ensure that they will beat the defenders.

Those once-green pastures you speak of have died out due to pollution.
That's from personal experience as well.

Alright, but whats so fun about it? Your destroying regions, hurting them.
Another way to look at it is your the clean up crew.

If you're saying he's never going to be able to raid again, that's... odd. I've lost count of how many times I've gone from raiding to defending and vice versa, and while there are some regions that won't accept me due to that, there are always at least one or two that don't care and are happy to have me on board. And if there aren't, I always have the option to start my own.

While I may be one of the most infamous for going back and forth on the R/D spectrum, I'm not the only one. The days of people being blacklisted for checking out the other side of the spectrum are basically over.

Brihimia is a citizen of Osiris and continues to be welcome to raid or defend with the Legion, according to his preferences.

Oh please, DEATing is a cheap plot device that doesn't actually do shit. If you really want to turn this into an Game of Thrones, then we're gonna need to see a lot more DoS'ing. That's the GRRM way.

It was just abrupt is all especially since you had raided a region just prior to this announcement. I'll just hope you'll return to the dark side, until then see you on the field :p
