Okay... about WoW.

This is going to be public, since someone else dragged it publicly. I will crosspost it to my Facebook so people can read it.

There is one key fact, and one key person in all of this recent drama that started about WoW and now people in Dementia Radio are trying to start a fight about.

The key fact is that I quit Sinstress's guild in WoW, moved two of my toons to another server, and nuked the rest.

SINCE THEN, other people have come up with their own theories and their own ideas as to why I moved. I even told Sin about my move *before* I did it, because I felt that was the right thing to do.

The *ONLY* person who can truthfully answer the question as to WHY is... ME. Not Sinstress. Not Emi. Not Tak. Not Devo. Not Becky. Not Kristi. Not WildCard. Not anyone else.

So, you can fucking ask *ME* why I quit.

#2 reason why I was /originally/ considering server-hopping: My sister Danicia was starting a new guild elsewhere and I didn't want to have to recreate 60 levels of achievements, gear, etc. (I had already started a lvl 20something pally there.) It took me goddamned forever to get ONE level 80 toon. It also had all the singular stuff on it that I busted my ass for (Winterspring Frostsaber) or had unique to that toon (Murky). This is my main on all of WoW and isn't likely to ever change, even if I got twenty other level 80s.

#1 reason why I left was because of DRAMA.

I /glossed over/ all of the drama reasons to some extent, because I didn't want to hurt someone's feelings and I otherwise consider them a friend. I also wanted to keep things quiet and civil and not have, well, this mess.

Well, fuck this.

I quit Sinstress's guild because I am fucking sick and tired of her complaining at length about various people who are or were in the guild. She accused Devo and Tak of doing things from encouraging people in Devo's Tiny Tyrants guild to ignore her and be crappy to her (Devo) to whining and begging for dungeon runs or to be hand-held through the game (Tak). Tak, btw, has a lvl 79 toon that somehow magically got there without hand-holding or repeated dungeon runs... so, I dunno.

I cannot speak to what Devo did or didn't do in that other guild, I was not a part of it. However, all I /can/ speak to is what I WAS TOLD DIRECTLY BY SINSTRESS. Again, the stuff against Tak was stuff I was told DIRECTLY by Sinstress. And now Sinstress is saying in her own LJ she never said that shit. I'm sorry, but I don't have enough stuffing in my ears to block out the multiple PMs on IRC and WoW, the few times it went out over Skype over the course of months.

I witnessed NONE of this crappy behavior on either Devo or Tak's part during my time on Gnomeregan. The *only* time Tak said anything when I was on was a simple easy wondering if we could get together and do something, since there were a couple of us on. No pressure, no ragequit, no drama. So, I cannot say whether any of this behavior happened or didn't happen. I wasn't there, I didn't see it.

Perhaps I'm simply misunderstanding. I mean, it's not as if I kept logs of months of complaints in logs or anything. I get where people might want to gripe about folks who vex them from time to time, I do it myself, and in fact have done it before about every name I've named in this post. It helps sometimes to vent quietly and privately, especially to someone you trust to be discreet with another point of view who might help you realize you might've been wrong.

But for Sinstress to tell flat outright Emi that I quit because of her and Tak is just the last straw.

I did *NOT* quit because of Emi and Tak. I quit because of Sinstress.

Don't get me wrong, I actually rather like her, but I will not accept the lies she's propagating all over the net about why I quit her guild. I know it gets into a 'she said/she said' situation. This is what /I/ said. No one 'impersonated' someone or forged a silly email to Emi to explain why I quit the guild. *I* PM'd her on Facebook and explained it.

Silly me, trying to keep things quiet and not hurt Sin's feelings, but I guess the truth doesn't like to hide as much as I thought it did.

NOW.

Here's the bottom line.

THIS SHIT STAYS OUT OF THE DEMENTIA RADIO IRC.

I'm not going to mention it there. Blak will kick your ass if you do. Everyone knows he despises people bringing non-channel drama into the party. Me, I'm going to do my show as normal, enjoy the fuck out of the awesome music I get to play and share with my friends, and play WoW /with/ my friends. WildCard, I love you, man, but this is *NONE* of your business as keeper of the IRC peace, because no one in the channel has brought it up, other than Kristi making her usual snarky jokes about the drama llama.

Secondly... I am still in a guild on a Horde server with Sinstress and with Becky and with Z, and things are /cool/ there. And from now on, unless someone /else/ starts shit there, things will /stay/ cool. Our GM on the other server is nice, but she won't put up with shit like this.

No whisper campaigns. No trying to get people on one's side by badmouthing others and then denying it.

I know what was said to me. I know what I saw.

Now you know it too.

*EDIT* *NONE* of what I was told was *EVER* spoken to me in any kind of confidentiality. It was never requested or hinted at. So, I feel no guilt about revealing what I know, since I wasn't asked to keep it quiet. And in fact, keeping it quiet and hiding names is what got all of us into this goddamned mess to begin with. Hush hush, whisper campaigns, he said, she said, rumors, whatever. Fuck that.

*NOTE* I do not hate Sinstress. I /worry/ about her. I'm currently furious with her because of the words she put in my mouth and the stuff she said to me and then denied saying to others. But SHE IS STILL MY FRIEND. When the edge of my fury wanes, she and I will have a frank discussion and you guys are not invited. However, she's got a daaaate this weekend to attend to first, and I want her to enjoy the HELL out of it.

And you're welcome to believe me or not, as you will. Me, I don't care. I've got a show to put on Friday night after no sleep and two shifts back to back. My job is more important to me than this video game. Or better yet, I've got others I can play. Or books to read. Or drawings to do. Or tons of things.

I graduated high school in 1990. This is so mid-80s.

End of line.
