If you have not seen Aranelinya's bio recently, please read. I think what is documented there is a very serious matter and needs to be considered very seriously. I do not know her personally as Hadom brought this to my attention. But, if she feels compelled to leave the game, then I DO think we need to consider very carefully who is in the FDP. I know that there are two sides to every story and I don't think any hasty decision needs to be made, but we need to contact our emissaries in the associated FDP guilds and begin constructive discussion on this matter.

I have spoken with Aranelinya in the past. She is normally a very upbeat, happy person, that I really enjoyed speaking with. I think it very sad that she has been driven to this point, with the kinds of actions her bio speaks of. I agree nothing should be done in haste, but this is a serious matter that does need to be discussed. I know I am not alone in the feeling that I don't wish to associate with people who practice racist, derogatory, or disrespectful actions towards other players, nor do I want to be tied into supporting those kinds of people.

I did a quick edit of my post to clarify that I DO think that we need to consider very strongly whether we want AL to remain in the FDP. And, I completely agree that none of us would condone racist, derogatory or demeaning comments about anyone, whether they were delivered in jest or not.

I agree on this one. As I understand it, Thanos is focusing on the FDP a bit more right now. But this may also be an opportunity for our FDP ambassadors, Hadom and legionarul to assert themselves.

To be sure, if we will push for the removal of AL from the FDP, we should consider hearing from some of ALs other leaders to figure out what happened.

After a conference with Aranelinya and Extrastout(cofounder of Dark Siege) we are not going to push for the removal of Absolute Loyal from the FDP. Aranelinya was able to regain composure and has the support of her guild in removing the members that had caused the issues. Absolute Loyal continues to uphold the integrity of its members no matter race, color, or creed, demeaning or derogatory comments continue to be something that is not condoned within their guild. PoLC will continue to assist Absolute Loyal just as every other guild of the FDP will.

I read Aranelinya's bio this morning and am glad that this matter is on its way to being resolved. Long live the POLC and the FDP

Aranelinya says: If you all compare notes I will be sooo busted so I'd better just confess now. Yes, I am cutting and pasting this to send to all of you because there a lot of you and only one of me *blushes* BUT! I did take the time to think of what I would like to say to *each* of you and felt you deserved more than just a "hey read my bio!" in the FS box so here goes..... Thank you for your message of support yesterday. It really meant a lot because I was a total wreck. I did not expect all the support I recieved yesterday and am completely humbled. Over 30 pages of logs. My jaw hit the floor and I started crying for a GOOD reason instead. It looks like I am here until I die. Kevargen was ready to make it a guild of two yesterday if need be (a necessary amount of kicking was done) or leave the guild with me. Nutz and Mojo were packing up to go with me as well. Everyone in the FDP was just wonderful, my phone was ringing off the hook.... So there was little choice but to go back to my post like a properly disciplined puppy and hang my head in shame for creating such a disturbance. I am sorry for the commotion. You guys are awesome! Thank you. =)

*grin* I got the same thing. Glad it all worked out.
