I got booted by LotD, and now no one takes me seriously!
-Kitty Vader-
The
Hall of Shame is a special place in guild lore. It is reserved for the
worst of the worst of lamers, gaming retards we meet in a game or its
community, disgraced and booted former members, and any other blooper
that is worthy of remembering when we all want to laugh at someone. The
Hall of Shame will be accessible from the LotD Main navigation, and
will be updated from time to time.
Hall of Shame Inductees
If an inductee is a former LotD member, the date reflects the date they were booted.
Former LotD Members:
Troll (Former LotD AGM - UO: 1999)
This
clown tried to organize the ouster of Lord Hades from LotD in 1998.
He, along with Aphrodite, did succeed in convincing the elders to boot
Hades over a dual guilding technicality. Hades had a miner/crafter
character stashed in a non PVP guild for the purpose of obtaining
weapon crafting materials at a reduced rate for the guild,
and it violated the guild's dual tag policy at the time. Within 3
months Troll and Aphrodite were overthrown by counter insurgents, and
Hades was restored to the GM throne.
Aphrodite (Former LotD Elder - UO: 1999)
This
person was a very good organizer of guild resources during the UO era,
and began to take her job a little too seriously. She tried to
exercise her power over inventory control a little too much, and
attempted to boot people that didn't jump at her command. She threw her
lot in with Troll in a failed revolt against Hades in 1998, and was
overthrown when Hades came back to power.
Chillion (Former LotD Elder - DAOC: 2002)
This
elder went off the deep end in DAOC due to disagreements with
leadership at the time, and actively attempted to undermine the guild's
leaders. He got his ass nuked and dropped shortly afterwards.
Nefarious (Former LotD Officer - Shadowbane: 2003)
Nefarious
was a fairly decent guild member until power went to his head in
Shadowbane. He began writing checks his ass couldn't cash, and looking
foolish when the guild leadership didn't agree to some of his insane
plans. At that point he began doing even more stupid shit like booting
loyal guild members, and trying to undermine LotD's efforts in the
game. We booted his ass and he went to the Sinister guild where he
continued to make a fool of himself.
Kromix & Krolex (LotD Chapter Members - WoW: 2006)
These
two members were initially useful to the guild. However they didn't buy
into LotD's long term vision for WoW which was to wait for the WoW
expansion that promised organized PVP and rankings. Instead they
attempted to undermine the guild from within, and made several
derogatory posts in public areas. They were booted for their actions,
and we'll enjoy pwn'ing them in a future game.
Chupin (Guild Elder) and Maeglin (LotD Lord) - WoW 2007
Both
of these members were valuable to the guild in previous years, but
apparently too much e-drama in WoW caused them to lose their minds.
LotD is not a democracy and the WoW chapter underwent a leadership
change shortly after the BC expansion. These two, and others, didn't
agree about how things went down and attempted to retire. For whatever
reason those who disagreed with the WoW chapter leadership became a
splinter group, with Chupin and Maeglin pretty much coordinating on
behalf of the group. Instead of seeing issues reconciled, this splinter
group went on to establish another guild tag in WoW and were ultimately
booted for it.
The specific reason these two are in the hall
of shame though is because they took advantage of personal
relationships, and gained access to other LotD member's WoW accounts.
They deleted all the characters, created new ones, logged in to spew
racial slurs to get the accounts banned, and then posted about it and
linked images to it on the Blizzard WoW forums. Due to that, no one
from LotD will ever associate with these two individuals again.
MMORPG Guilds
Lords of Death (LoD)
LoD
and LotD were previous allied guilds and kicked a lot of ass together.
At various points each guild hit a low point, and helped each other
along. However while waiting for Shadowbane some fansite poll came out
listing LotD as one of the top feared guilds going into the game, and
apparently that recognition bruised some egos over at LoD. A massive
flame war ensued, and the two guilds have hated one another since. LotD
went on to play on the Scorn server which was the most hard core server
of the day, and birthed the nation that took down the most infamous
nation in Shadowbane history (Rolling 30's). LoD went to the Death
server and beat up n00b guilds, and no one gave a shit who was the last
guild standing before that server went offline.
Sinister (SiN)
Sinister
was another former ally guild, and LotD gamed with them extensively in
Shadowbane beta. However Bonedancer's E-peen got too huge in Shadowbane
release, and he started issuing orders to other Guildmaster's as if
they were serving wenches. LotD split off from Bonedancer's nation
(R30's), and about two months later the Sinister and DDH leadership
were exposed by Ubisoft for duping billions of gold. Trying to save
face Bonedancer (Sinister) and Darph (DDH) issued proclamations of
victory, and left their underlings to sink with the ship. LotD had been
organizing LAPD strike forces against the R30's nation, and we
ultimately crushed it. Further info can be found in LotD-Shadowbane
history. The Sinister guild has since been forever associated with
duping, hacking, exploiting, and the massive screwing over its its
allies for its actions in Shadowbane.
The Mercs (TM)
The
Mercs were a force to be reckoned with in the 1995 gaming era, but
since then are more famously known for having well designed websites
than anything else. They attempted to return to DSO in 1996 and tried
to use LotD as cover while they rebuilt their strength, but they tried
to stab us in the back too quickly. After being tipped off that they
planned to frame us for hacking and duping, we ended up getting access
to their secret archives of hacking and duping guides. We provided
these to the DSO developers, and TM ended up being driven from the game
forever. Since 1995 TM can often be found riding the coat tails of
guilds like Sinister, and just being another face in a mongrel horde of
skill-less PVP guild's.
