Hey, KOF!

This is an apology, a clarification, an explanation and a formal request all in one.

First off, I am sorry that I've skirted around the edges of KOF the past few months. Really, I've not been wanting to be angry with you guys, but I have. I'm really not going to get into it more than that, even though you have. I apologize. Not once have I gone into a public channel and slagged you off or cussed you out. Not once have I spread a lie or a rumor about you or any of your members. Some of you think I'm a monster or a troll, but really, hardly any of you even know me, so if you're thinking that without even talking to me you have to really start thinking about why you feel that way in the first place.

What I was (and still am in a little way) is hurt and upset because of the way I left KOF. I've spent a lot of time with KOF, more than a majority of you, but really, myself and the entire core of officers Arq originally had needed to move on because really, we were tired of it. We wanted you to listen. That didn't happen.

It hurt, being sneakily demoted overnight. It really did. I'd never do anything like that. I had people begging me to but I refused. I said Arq wouldn't do that. I guess it turned out differently! But you know what? I'm seriously over it now. It's been a few months and the sting isn't so great anymore. Maybe you're all not? I don't know. Not worried. You got the guild. /shrug I'm just glad I don't have to pay upkeep/status anymore! :)

But it's time for this ludicrous cycle of bitterness to stop. It's time for me to stop gritting my teeth and getting my blood pressure up every time I see your cloaks or see you RPing with Qeynosians who were once known IC enemies if you knew the history of the guild. Why do I even care anymore? The truth is I shouldn't. I shouldn't have for a while now. And now, I've resolved not to.

KOF is the past, no matter what I did for it, and that's where it should stay. That's where I want it to stay. In short: I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH KOF. I could bold that if you'd like. Maybe bolding things makes them more true. You all can do your thing, I can do mine. That's the way I want things.

So accept my honest and straightforward apology for any offense I've caused, hurt you've felt, or intimidation or whatever other myriad of emotions you've felt upon seeing me or any of my buddies I left KOF with.

So, having said my apology, and you'll really have to believe me that it is sincere because I have no other way to get it across to you, I would like to clarify and explain some things:

I'd like a chance to defend myself though from some things I've heard. I really don't like people saying rather hurtful things about me and my friends that are hardly based in truth. I've heard it for months and for months it has eaten at me. I have no way to counter any of your unfounded accusations against me as a person or against the things that I did during my nearly four years in KOF.

Arquenniel seems to think that I didn't rebuild KOF during my tenure as LC. Yes, I consider that pretty darn insulting especially considering she'd only been with KOF for less than a year when she took it over. And really you're all welcome to your opinions, but the honest truth of the matter is that I was with the guild for almost four years, started as a Page three times (various IC circumstances aside) with Kiki, been every rank on the list at one point or another, and worked my way back each time, since July of 2009. I've been through three guild leaders, two guild meltdowns, and I was always there to try and help pick up the pieces each time because I honestly loved this guild. It was my first experience with RP and I was so happy with all the history and good memories I had while being here.

I've organized server events (the plaguing of Qeynos, Zombie Nightmares for NOTD for 2 years, and I helped run the War of Antonica over seven days with Nerien) for no personal benefit and no other reason than to let people have fun. It was so great watching people RP duel and have fun killing zombies or trying to stop the forces of evil on Antonica's soil! I attempted to foster inter-guild RP between Qeynos and Freeport guilds, intiated RP with Shadow of Fear that some of you even participated in, spent 150 of my plat building a sky high obstacle course for KOF on my Tenebrous Tangle island (under my name, still on visitor, go check it out!), and really, I think I did more than my fair share for KOF for just being some stupid online thing that doesn't even matter IRL. None of you are going to erase that no matter what.

I also reformed the rules list when I took over, fixed the ranks, set the uniforms, spent hours writing posts, fixed up forums (including creating the Knights of Freeport red/black helmet logo in Illustrator that you STILL have on your Ravenfire forums) on two sites, kept disruptive people away (we had our fair share, but so does every guild), and brought the hall back to NFP from a giant T3 that was far too expensive and rather ridiculous IC since it wasn't even in Freeport. The basic decorated layout of the hall you're in right now is because I saved the old T2 manifest before we moved to the T3. That file is still on my desktop for some reason. (I really need to reformat.) The colors you're wearing are because I thought it would be best to change the colors of the guild to reflect the changes to Freeport's new desert palette. It was a guild decision. Otherwise you'd be in red and black still. And you've still kept a lot of things I made in the hall. I hope you're all still wiping your paws when you enter the hall.

This isn't bragging, by the way. What's to brag about? It's just the internet. But I still did all of this, I'm just listing it out.

Also, Arq and Dron weren't the only two logging in, that's not true in the least, but that's fine. I passed off the guild to Arq because I had a new semester of college starting and I was really not able to follow through with it like I wanted to. My grades suffered in the fall because of the problems I had to deal with taking over KOF from Nerien before me, problems Arq was personally there to witness. And on the very first day I took over, with all the naive best intentions to start things on a new fresh foot, two of my officers left for reasons I'm not going to get into. Coupled with problem members who absolutely drained my last threads of sanity and affected my grades because I was so stressed, people sending me hateful PMs over complete misunderstandings, hate mail, writing terrible IC stuff about my rat (and making sure I'd see it) and seeming rather determined to make me fail, and all my convoluted IRL including a husband who seriously nearly died from liver failure the year before, I was rather drained by the beginning of this year. KOF had finally run it's course with me.

I usually give my all when I take on a project of any sort but now I was just tired. So I gave it over to Arquenniel because, despite all my IRL, which she knew very well about, she tried hard to get people involved with RP. Aera even agreed with me that she'd be a good choice. So did my friends from SOF. I asked to stay on as GL rank because, after all, I had been with KOF for years. I wanted to be Arq's backup if she needed it. I know now that she didn't. Kinda obvious now, isn't it? :) I wish it wasn't made clear to me the way it was when I woke up, but eh, whaddayagonna do?

Really, this is all water under the bridge now to me. So please, do not say such things and make false accusations when they are not based in fact. That's all I'll say about that.

Now for my formal request:

Additionally, it seems you are all on the hunt for a complete alt list of mine and for that of my friends. C'mon, really, have we reached that point? Could you please stop being so silly? Are you a detective agency? Are you really stalking me and my friends? Sending spies to find out who we are? Going so far as to make character profiles on us as human beings? So silly!

Really, I don't want anything to do with KOF anymore, and for pities sake, it's not like I could even do anything to any of you if I wanted (which I really don't), and quite frankly, I'd prefer it if you would just leave me and my very good friends alone, as I intend to do the very same with all of you. It's very silly behavior and even me, having been upset, have not gone so far as to hunt down your millions of alts because really it just doesn't matter to me. All my friends and I want to do is have fun with people on AB after years of just busting our butts for a dumb thing on the internet. Some people seem determined to destroy anything I try to do or any of KOF's former officers used to do. Why? Revenge? Is it really that? People really like a witch hunt I guess, I don't know.

You seem to be very obsessed with spreading nonsense and lies about me and my friends, really awful things I'm surprised you'd even say, and every time I hear what you guys have said it just makes me want to laugh and shake my head rather than get angry. Are you really so threatened by someone who isn't even in your guild anymore who absolutely wants nothing to do with you or your members? Such a reaction! Smearing and bashing a person who did a lot for all of you, who listened, and who understood. My catchphrase was almost always "No worries," whenever you guys were worried about something. I gave money, made signatures (I'm glad you're still using yours Arq, I worked hard on it) and did lots of random things for everyone in KOF not because I wanted anything out of it, but because it made me feel good to make someone happy.

So yeah, I'm absolutely not worried about all the vicious and untrue things you say about me (or my friends, who seem to be guilty by association, sorry guys!!) because I know that in the end I have people who know what I'm really like and not this awful person you make me out to be. And the truth is you know about me too, but you're choosing not to see that.

And before you're quick to point it out... I've had my bad moments just like everyone else. (Sorry Layla. Sorry Inqe. Sorry Duv.)

So my formal request to you? Stop it. Grow up. Aren't most of you over 30? This stuff was silly in high school. And if you so truly have a problem with me you could be rather courageous and take it up with me yourself in a tell or mail rather than whisper about me in hushed tones in the dark recesses of the server. Walls of expletives are not necessary, though I've received them before. I respond well to simple conversation and despite anything you may have heard about me I'm not a bad person.

There you have it. An apology, clarification and an explanation, and a formal request. I apologize for any part I may have played in creating stress for you guys, though I really did not do very much, but really, it goes both ways. And now it doesn't. Because I'm not taking part in it anymore.

I consider this the past as of this very moment. I'll forget it the moment I end this letter. You should too.

Hugs to those accepting them,
-Kiki

Hail the Overlord!

The Knights of Freeport (Freeport Militia 3rd Cavalry Divison) works to enforce the Overlord's Laws inside Freeport's borders and to strengthen Freeport's military presence throughout Norrath.
The Knights of Freeport are a member of the Darklight Pact.

Hearken! The wind carries o'er the horizon
The shouts of our enemies, crying "No more!"
Flee from our banners and battle-horns mighty
For Freeport is going to war!

See ye our enemies, whiter than corpses,
Trembling from nightmares of what lies in store.
Flee for your lives or else tremble ye with them,
For Freeport is going to war!

Beg not for mercy, nor bargain for kindness,
For pity or clemency do not implore.
Abandon all hope, ye who dare stand against us,
For Freeport is going to war!

- from "The War of the Prophet" by Endros the Bard

TROOPS TRIUMPH OVER TRAITOROUS TONGA!

TROOPS TRIUMPH OVER TRAITOROUS TONGA!

Free Citizens!
Today, the city may rest easy.
Today, justice has been served.
Today, the Overlord's will be done.

Earlier this morning, the treasonous rat, Former Lord Commander and Duke Masq was killed when the Militia Third Cavalry, better known as "The Knights of Freeport" bombed the home he was staying in. The Former Lord Commander betrayed the Overlord, and attempted to plot his downfall behind the backs of his Division, and Deth K'nell.

He assaulted Lucanic Knights, and then presumably fled the city. The elite Inspectors of the Lucanic Investigation Unit of the Third were able to track him to this building however, and rig it with explosives and raze it to the ground, with the pest of a Ratonga inside.

This serves as a reminder- No one escapes the Overlord's wrath. His word is law and he is this city. May all who stand against him tremble, and feel the merciless justice that is Lucanic law.

As to the matter of replacing Masq, the Overlord deemed that the hero behind the killing of the whiskey filled rat and second in command of the unit, Inspector-General Ritsar Nerien Darius to be made the new Lord Commander of the Militia Third Cavalry Division.

Strength in Unity, Unity in Lucan!

OVERLORD RETURNS VICTORIOUS

The puissant and all powerful Overlord Lucan D'Lere returned to reclaim Freeport and conscript rebellious laborers after a brief and triumphant battle with as yet undisclosed forces at an undisclosed location.

The return was celebrated in good fashion by a festival held spontaniously by the entire grateful population of Free Citizens, who undeniably poured out their absolute love and devotion for our dear leader. Indeed, many also added words of encouragement for the conscripted laborers, such as "hurry up and die traitor scum!" and "better you than me!", who are toiling to rebuild damaged parts of the city caused by an odd mental disorder that incited rebellion. Fortunately, this reporter was assured that all laborers will eventually be sent to the asylum for rehabilitiation after construction is complete, provided they manage to survive the process.

IN OTHER NEWS

Neliya Shae'Ranar an elf, won the Troll Iron Gut eating award, by being the lone standing survivor of the patriotic competition. Not only can we in Freeport smite our enemies at whim, but we are also naturally superior in every other way, including gastronomic fortitude! Citizens should praise the elf for her patriotism and strong stomach. Assassins should note that poison is likely ineffective on such strong Free Citizens.

Coterie of Thorns and Lucan Youth Corps were both honored by the 3rd Cavalry Division, Knights of Freeport, for their patriotic acts during the now-called Time of Testing by not only providing food and comfort to free citizens, but also resisting the mentally insane opponents of the Overlord's Rule. The head of both organizations were granted special priviledge by the Knights, and have been awarded Medals of Patriotic Valor, entitling them to be respected and admired as shining examples of patriotic vigor.

Iksar Invasion forces from the defunct Sathirian Empire, which has long been known to have ties to the vampiric agents of Mayong Mistmoore, launched a failed attack against the harbor of East Freeport. Though their goals are unknown at this time, many sources claim that the iksar were plotting to steal patriotic free citizens in order to perform strange and unlawful blood rituals , or to create an army of vampires. Either way, the attack lasted for under an hour before the Overlord gazed upon them and smashed their forces with a word, causing them all to flee in terror. Citizens are encouraged to view all Iksar as potential spies, and especially report to authorities any unusual activities by the organization knowns as Shadow of Fear.

3rd Cavalry Division Knights of Freeport were honored by the Overlord and granted a fortress compound overlooking the city of Freeport to better protect against potential invasion. When asked for comment one Knight was heard to have said "Its soos big, those pages gonna hates running laps now."
