Apologies

Holby · July 03, 2003, 06:56:23 AM

I made a very stupid decision today. I deleted my account and created another one, so I could be in fire.
It was brought to my attention the teams were unfair during an IM convo with a member of Fire. The scores were showing already that Ice was on top, with only one fire member taking up the top ten.

Using this information, I decided I should try and help the underdog. I got Retto to delete my account and signed up, landing in Fire. That is where I currently am.
I did not consider the other points of view, especially as this was a sort of sudden action.
It took an accidental entry into the Ice forum and a conversation with Wolf Bite to convince me I had done the wrong thing.
It was pointed out to me that it is only early on in the game. More players can come along and even things up. I had a duty to my clan. I was winning a vote for leader of Ice, and people relied on me to guide them by this action.
At the least I should have talked it over with ice members, and given a few days notice.
I am truly sorry, and apologise particularly to Wolf Bite and all those who voted for me in the poll.

However, I believe in sticking to a decision once it is made. So I shall continue in Fire, and do my very best to help them in victory.
In the process I have a few battles to overcome with a vain newb, a dealing with a multi, and some awesome players to take on.
I'm sorry I didn't think this over first, I'm sorry I let so many of you down, and I'm sorry I took the selfish way out.

It's ok, Holby. *pats* I forgive 'ee.
:)

BTW, I still have access to the Ice forum, so someone better change it before I stop resisting. An Ice member kindly allowed me to view a topic in which I was strongly involved, so I thank them for that.

I think it's very kind of you to help Fire. You did the right thing.

calria · July 03, 2003, 03:10:10 PM

Holby, both your original intentions and your apology bespeak us your noble heart and magnanimity.

I, for one, vastly appreciate your switch... especially since I'm on Fire!

Blackeyes · July 03, 2003, 10:31:27 PM

I second Cal ... well Holbs ... atleast your there to help us all out ... I would be devistated if I were in Ice ... now your all doomed .

The Cow · July 05, 2003, 01:17:01 PM

I love you man, Holbys.

[edit, I do remember, that I said I shall edit insult into something lovely]

Do please space yourself, my good cappie, wot, wot. Because if you don't it makes it very hard to jolly well read, wot. (I am a hare right now)

[edit, same for the post above]

No shouting, or I will been forced to take action.

Shouting is where you caps all the words, this is usually frowned on.

Pikepaw · July 05, 2003, 02:02:15 PM

Thanks Ad for editing my post and showing me that I want to be a bally hare, wot!

I may be stubborn, but Holby is unfaithful to his original team, and has lost much of my respect for that. Trying to even out the ties may win respect, but switching teams and letting down those who wanted you as leader is another.

General Austin · July 05, 2003, 05:07:19 PM

HOLBS COME BACK!!!! We NEED you out here!!! I'll give you 'ee spot as leader! *begs*

I forgive you holbs, wether it was right or wrong.

i just joined fire... But it seems like fire is really strong, so i'm gonna ask retto if i can switch clans. dont worry though, i'm not even using my turns right now, nor have i gone to the forum.

Fair is fair! I think we should just call it an even trade.
