Speaking of Machine and Shifters, why'd you take all your alts out of Scythe when Florin-err Boki, let em in? I mean, other than the half dozen daisys sitting at sboard gently swaying in the wind, and the fact that scythe is now known as the poosy treehugger guild, I think everybody agrees that they have been a welcome addition.

I'm not gonna go into it, because everytime I have an opinion on something gamme related, I get told I have no life or that I take this game too seriously, so let me summarize.
Florin is the GM and doesn't care what his guild members think of his decision. That's not cool. A flower, a rock, a tree, a cat, a frog, a panther, a lizard, or an opossum do not belong in Scythe. I can see Xaerre, maybe. Xaerre's being wemics, half-lion and half-man, and having a war minded attitude. Drakons would be pushing it, imo. But, if you read the Scythe ideas, it specifically says... "The Scythe do not like wasting time and getting little accomplished, instead they'd rather come, do it, and leave" or something along those lines... and well, idling in form just to become a bigger flower goes directly against that statement.
All in all, alot of people welcomed them, which boggled me. All Scythers have ALWAYS talked trash about 'em. Newport has, Irok has, Ivan has, I have, etc. Now Newport, Ivan, and Irok have Scythe shifters, of which they complained about before. I have a shifter, too. But he'll remain a Bear with bline off.
Scythe has changed. It's not the same, and will never be. Basically, it's a different guild with the same name, and I don't like it, so I left.
Sinister tells you: what a long-winded summary.

Poor Machine, getting his chops busted by the rest of the Scythers.
As a loser who's been a Scyther since character #2 and stayed purely as a such with an exception here or there throughout the years. Let me tell you, the question "what happened to the Scythe?" Its been asked as far back as:
********Title: 'Whatevah happened to brave scythers?' // Maudlin <21> Thu Apr 6 23:00:30 1995
Although I don't claim to be one, whatever happened to the brave and butt-kicking, no crap taking, down to business, running over anything in the way, no time to talk, no time to walk, standing up for oneself, mauling over elves, kicking kniggets when the mood was right, taking no prisoners, working on one's own, not relying upon anyone, never giving in, unique hogging, blood til the end scythes? ********************************************
Whatever some of you kids thought was the "old" Scythe, well to me its the same whiney, below average, inefficient, poor trained Scythe to me for the past number of years.
I posted a list of standard battle tactics that were in effect before the horrid assist command was initiated, and my post was lambasted by the then current Scythe bashing gods. Of course these were guys so impressed by their little 120k per hr parties, guys great at dotimes 100ing their utterly useless 1600 skills and crying over the sline for hours on a time when they died at 1580 as if it were some conspiracy by the tank and not blatant stupidity, guys who love to obscenely chitter chatter during battles with Razar, Illarin and other spellcasters, guys with their shout "skill" alias as if I give a !@#$ if you go from 60 exotic to 61 exotic.
Additionally when I bash, I love it when I know these tanks are actually thinking in their pin-sized heads, "my god who does this guy think he is; not waiting for me to attack, and why is he is running off to sell, now I have to wait for him to return (instead of just going off to the next monster), or my favorite oh I rarely sheal my tanks or ask for sheals (you know, sheal has a HIGH) ...etc etc.
You guys collectively suck, its not your fault. You were just brought up wrong. Of course their are exceptions (and I put that there cause I need some people to bash or tank for me).
Oh yeah, shifters in Scythe? Who cares, just another cheap source of sheals for me. That's thematic enough for me as long as they shut up and do what they're told.
Sinister, trying to hold down the old skool fort.

You hafta expect everything to evolve with time. Everything always has, everything always will. To expect things to remain the same is foolish, because it will never happen, unless you're some immortal tyrant ruling your own little world.
I wasn't around for the "Scythe pioneers", so I don't know what your opinion on Scythe is. My definition of the Scythe was the same as about 90% of -today's- generation of players. So, by my saying "Scythe has changed", I mean it's changed since I was introduced to it. I never mentioned this was the way Scythe must remain now and forever, without knowing it's history before me. I understand stuff changes, that doesn't mean I hafta like it, though. I'm a human. A human under unfavoring conditions is provoked into showing dislike and disappointment in his or her own way. So, complaints, arguements, and immense disagreement with the decisions made are to be expected. It's human nature.
I like you, Sinister, whether it be because you're cool with me cuz we have like minds or because you get along with me so I'll bash/tank. But, we're different kinds of people. I joined Scythe, when I did a few years ago, for it's environment and attitude. Hostility, disrespect for others not sharing the same views, and overall a very barbaric mindset. Where as, someone like you, probably joined the guild for it's benefits to you. I'm not saying you suck cuz of it, but all in all that's why someone like me would leave while someone like you would stay.
And I could careless what any past, present, or future Scythe has to say about my choice. I could careless what Florin does to the guild. My invisionment of the guild doesn't mesh well with what the guild has been molded into.

Machine, I joined for the same reasons you did. Among the reasons I suicided my first character was because he was a half-elf and just about all my compadres were Scythers and they were ultra cool. Also at the time, it was just Monks and Scythe, and as much of a loner I appear to be on AA now, no way in hell was I ever going to be a monk.
As the guild evolved over the years .... well you just learn to deal with $hit. The player mindset has been more important to me than what races/classes are allowed as I've been mudding off and on in AA so long that any thematic novelty has worn off.
As for our current platonic lovefest. Its the mindset, I don't really need to tank or bash for someone as I prefer to be alone with my more efficient self. After all, any non Sinister alt of mine is a test character, and just a notch above meaningless.

Hehe, I hear ya. I guess I'm what people would call a hopeless romantic of the world, though, because... with the changes of the guild, it's turned into something sour that I don't like the taste of anymore, so I'll be all self-righteous and leave, thinking to myself that I did the right thing, when in actuality, it's just a damn game and I shouldn't get so friggin worked up over shit I can't control Or something... I've left Scythe before, for numerous reasons, but always come back because "it's where I belong" I tell myself. But, this time, it may be for real. I'm enjoying the peacefulness of no guild line yappers, not having to read guild boards, yadda yadda. So, who knows. I may be back, I may not. I'm enjoying the serenity of silence atm

i know this is a lil late to answer, but i apparently oversaw this. i'd just like to say i was one of the probably many who laughed at your tactics because i would never think to enforce them in any of the common garden variety scyther that infests the guild now. at the time i would never follow anything remotely close tho i shealed a bunch and kept tank and myself bound and smoking cigars and doing eq most of the time cuz i enjoyed more 2 ppl parties where i tanked or bashed for usualy 200k hour each person. so i didnt post lol or laugh or ur so stupid but i indeed laugh at you and still do if you still think all that is needed to be good. i consider myself good (tho i consider lots other players very good in the same scale) and can accomplish almost anything normal players can, including maxing shifters to doing solo runs or tanking steady decent xp even when having horrid bashers ( i skipped that part and in the past few years only bash or tank for ppl i know and like) and whenever i play i prefer to have fun, chitchat during razar and illarin do 200k xp per hour , even if i die it's still funnier than a party with no social component at all besides the tank bitching at basher that basher was 0.1 seconds longer than needed when ejaculating prematurely in order to resume bashing asap on a party that will instead accomplish 201k xp /hour person. of course i also dislike mediocre bashers and tanks and won't play with them just cuz i dont want to bother pointing out obvious flaws and having to teach ppl that i dont know from anywhere to dos omething better and still getting shit for trying to do so.
there i managed to get lost a record number of only 2 times, so if it doesnt make sense try again or blow me. hugznkissez.
