If people care so much about the accounts and what happens to them, maybe they shouldn't give them up in the first place?Sarah-bunny wrote: anyway, i'd be upset if i made an account and quit a server, and the new owner either moved all the bases to another cluster (happened to me once), deleted all the bases and quit (happened to me also once), logged in one time and then let it go UC (f.u. war beaver >.< ) or if they joined to an enemy guild (as quake did)
if i had been quake i would have returned the zap zap account and taken a vacant account in sexy or w/e else guild he wanted to join... isn't really fair to the person whose work you took over to drag it to an enemy.
and if i had been balor i would have tried to recover the account on the off chance the admin who processed the request was a dolt and let zap zap get it back. i wouldn't have expected it to work, but would have tried...
When you give an account to someone, its theirs. Unless you expect everyone to be your little puppet, as Balor does. So one guy started the account, does that dismiss all the hours upon hours and MONEY that Quake put into it? Not to mention all the work that Quake put into doing derb splits and crap for Balor and Co time after time. I'm pretty sure he earned whatever he was given. He didn't just leave for an enemy guild. They trashed him on one server and prior to that made NUMEROUS threats of "cross server consequences"...what's someone to do, just sit there and wait to be derbed? You can justify the actions because its your friends doing them, but if you were in the position that he was in you might be singing a different tune.
We also weren't enemies until Balor decided to make it so. We still had a long-standing pact when Quake joined us. But once again, bc Balor likes to use his guilds to exact his personal revenge across multiple servers, so used a made up injustice on another server as an excuse to drop pact on Mira, AFTER Quake joined. So you might want to take that into account as well.
