It's hard to reply to that without it becoming something that it shouldn't be. And while you and LIP have done a lot to help, there are others that have done just as much. But because it has been slow, what has tried to be accomplished has not been noticed by all who may choose to vote.

Okay, i had a big, long, like 8 paragraph rant typed up, but i think it's alot better to try and keep this simple..
Dath and Orrv, you're both great guys, and i know you both go way back, so just let this misunderstanding pass..
Dath, you're right about the "backhanded chatter," but orrv isn't the one to point the finger at in all honesty.. Things have changed lately, you're right once again.. Just look around for some of the regulars that used to frequent this place.. Alot of people have left.. I could tell you why, but i'm not going to partake in the "drama." Instead, i will say that it's true, there are many people deserving praise for things that they do or have done for the clan.. We are a team, and this clan hall is a team effort.. Let us not forget this, because without the team, none of this would be possible..
If i could do ANYTHING as HW, i would undoubtedly wish to end the bickering and get back to the way things used to be.. I realize that i haven't been here with W&W but almost a year, but I really do miss those times when things felt so ripe and easy going.. What made the clanhall for me was the jovial games that were shared by so many, and that's why i originally joined.. I really don't think we play this game to "be adults." We play this game to get away from RL for awhile and act as free as our hearts and minds can believe...... And the bickering, drama, and just strait unfriendliness only hinders this from being that way.
So, i say this to you all: It's a game where EVERYONE'S WELCOME.. If you have a problem with somebody, either excuse them, or excuse yourself.. (But i'd rather you stay!)
Congrats and thanks to all members of our clan, both big and small!! -LIP

Also, i would've liked to see Bonecraven get some votes.. :/ He's done alot for people, and he would've been my 2nd vote, but i voted for the same person that i've voted for every time that i've voted.. and no i don't vote for myself.. like dingy! (at least you're man enough to admit it tho!! hahah)

wow, , what strange turn this poll is taking!
Its not nice to throw a rock on the chess board when the game is on!!
The beauty of such clan, is our mutual ability to get together and share some good time, while being various people, with various habbits, various personalities, various ages, etc. In the last 4 years W&W went through many dangers and treats and we are still here, the top clan. Sometimes we can be too rl busy for dc, by being with each other dayly we witness the ups and downs of each others.
WE've lived many good times in the past , as we will still have plenty of great time in the future!
Its always a good time to get invoved with us, to share your opinion, just respect each other, and dont do to others what you would'.nt like someone do to you!
I must run for now!
good luck to all candidates!

wow is right what a mess. Thanks to you guys for your support. Like LIP, I had a novel written up to respond to this. Instead, I will leave my votes as they are as I believe the 2 most deserving members got them. They are active on TP and here at the clan hall, they participate in and/or hold contests and games and sales to make the place a bit more fun. So do other people but I chose my votes. If you disagree you are welcome to vote for whomever you wish. I agree with LIP in that Bonecraven deserves some votes. He's very active. He's a veteran DCer and a very nice person besides. I wish it were possible to remove my name from the poll.

Here here. This really makes me a little sad to see, as I'd thought we'd put all this kind of stuff behind us. LIP, kudos to your post! Good words, good sentiment. If anyone feels bent out of shape about something - no matter what - I'd encourage to read carefully through the Wizard & Warrior Code of Conduct ( jackthebear.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=4745) to help alleviate any fears and lay out a path toward resolution if the need is great. It's what it's there for. I happen to know the people who put it together worked very, very hard on it so that it best serves everyone in the clan. I would also like to second the intent that all of us here cast our votes for our own reasons, that's why the voting is private. I also wish I could remove my name from the voting pool, but then I see that more-worthy candidates are receiving the most votes, so am content. It must just be our entourages casting pity votes, Orrv. I think all the recent honored warriors have done a fantastic job and am ready to throw my full support behind the next batch, whoever they might be! Long live W&W!

... Sorry if I was callous earlier, but come on. You guys wrote novels in response to that? To be honest, I thought there would be some thicker skins here. I just thought that the comment wasn't all it was cracked up to be, and I wanted to say something about it. My feeling has been, since last year or so, that DC has become a strange place on the boards..there is a lot of saccharine love going around, but so much of it is double-edged, and I wanted to point it out. I hate doing a "back in the day", but it seems like recently everyone has to girl thingyfoot around things, which is why this struck such a nerve now as I think things never really -were- resolved from incidents before. A couple years back, we had some major troublemakers, but they were open about it, people told them straight what they thought, and things were dealt with. Now it seems like most of that is done in secret council boards, over PMs or AIM, and then there is a lot of mistrust. Sure, some of you will tell me "oh no there's no mistrust here we all love each other" but I've heard from some of you that tell me otherwise, so I know that's not all true. Since I've been away from DC, I've met other people elsewhere online, and I've really come to realize that people's feelings are hurt super easy here. Is nobody allowed to say something bugs them anymore? Anyway. That bugs me. *slowly wanders out the empty halls...*
