Sadly I owned last ladder and my first ladder char this season died around 60 ish. This is what started my 2.5 month break. I have about 5 80-90s non ladder hc from last season. but not much on ladder this season. but my break is over so i will be there again quite soon
I started HCladder again today. I will be rising to greatness over the next 2-3 weeks Necronergal Get on asap. anyone else looking to play some Hc ladder then let me know
i will get on diablo asap. i have been busy with aikido martial art seminar. didnt get to bed last night till 2 am. then had to wake up at 8 for a 9am-5pm class(lunch in middle) and i still am not home. and it almost midnight. lol. so i will probably be on tomorrow seeing how it will be a 10-12 class and i have whole half day to relax.:D
well im glad no one had "Generosity" to reply to my good friend Magi's Nice long and very well thought out post.. well now for my little "Grain of Salt" ( that seems to be the popular phrase ^^ )
1) the whole eastern sun mod thing i won't personally go any where near because the last Moded Version of Diablo 2 i played carried 3 trojans with it!!!
2) I think that people thinking that 'Runs' define activity is just plain retarded ( i don't really hold back >.>)
3) i know diablo or diablo 2 can get quite redundant but like Magi said Doing things with friends on Diablo or Diablo 2 can really help out with the whole bordem thing
4) last thing for now.. Spanishbard id like 2 see some proof on this so called chatting about making this "Guild" Better or just them chatting in general about this topic
Thats all for now
Edit!: Qouted in.. Actually he made a bad point. Well I think this thread has motivated Elfen, Silver, Ferret, and Thasa to discuss it more. So I'd expect somethings turning soon.
this is what i was refering 2 as show proof of these so called chats lol..

You should not fear death but embrace it 4 death is a release from the pain that you suffer on earth..
Okay, I don't want to confuse people here, or rather, I don't want to misrepresent my ideals here and look like an idiot.
What I am saying is that helping people become powerful so that they in turn can help more people become powerful and continue the cycle is what people on Battle.net want- it would be kind of stupid to dismiss that. What I'm saying is, if it's going to attract people, do it. Ferret, Bambi, Brett, many others, and I (I mostly just follow- still working on getting on my own two feet) do runs constantly, or rush people, or whatever- and you know what? We have fun. We do. When you do things together as friends it's fun- if you're not having fun, you're most likely not with a good round of friends. That's what makes Diablo II fun for replay- friends to do things with, even slow things like just running the Acts and difficulties.
I also was not EVER saying that if you're not doing runs, you're not active. I NEVER said that. I said it was a very good way of attracting new members- we've had constantly had people asking about the guild and such when we were helping them. People are always more impacted by deeds than words, and we are taking that to heart and actually doing things, while you people simply keep trying to rain on our parade. That's really what it seems like.
Anyway, SpanishBard was right on a lot of levels, and I have to say I'm glad we have someone like him around to interpret things from time to time. I'm sorry if any of you got the wrong meanings out of anything I said- I take full responsibility for my incompetence if that's the case. But anyway, there are tons of other things you can do. Mfing is wonderful for us- we do really share things and give stuff to other people that might be worth something but we don't really need (to other guild members.) Not that that's a requirement, and it should never be assumed as such, but it goes to show that people are more important than power and prestige to some people- and I'll tell you, those are the kinds of members you guys never want to piss off, because they're the people that ARE your guild. Period.
Just being there is fine, too. Even if you just hang around a leech, or talk, or anything- it all makes things "look" better. It really does. Not to say that looks are all we're striving for, but in all honesty, people will want to see activity. Do you know how many thousands of people peruse this site daily? And how many members do we have at the moment? 40-something? I bet you can see we're I'd be going with that.
I'm not telling you that you absolutely must be there- we need representatives on other games, too- but Diablo is where this guild was born, and no one, and I mean NO ONE, ever has the right to say that any game prior to Diablo III does not require attention from the guild. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust- it will start with Diablo and there it will end.
Edit--
And actually, here's some more:
These things you guys like to do- the Iron Man runs and such- they're good and people have fun with them- but sealing yourself up in private games and only interacting with other guild members is not going to help this guild grow. That's what I'm interested in and what I'm working to see. You have no idea the amount of things I hate (or hated) horribly about this guild, but for some reason I just felt compelled to join. And why? Because I saw the people here- people who had a somewhat lax view of seeing the guild returned to a state of former glory. That will was there, and still is, and I know that many of you still want to see that. But I'm telling you, we can't just wait two, three, even four years for a game to come out to suddenly become active- we can't blame inactivity on real-life issues constantly and maintain high positions (or positions at all) within the guild if you're not going to be any use for some time. Please do not take that previous statement to an extreme and dismiss this "grain of salt" out of hand. Being spread out across a bunch of different games also does not help- Elfen and the others were right to make a uniform server for us on Diablo II. I hate it because I'm working on a completely different time zone, but I can see clearly why it's necessary- and that same principle can be applied to multigame hosting. We simply don't have the numbers for it at the moment. Not to say you guys shouldn't play other games, by all means, do it, because guilds are as much about fun as they are a future, but do not go and say "SICK is dying" when you're off in some odd corner of some server of a non-Diablo game without a tag of any sort working for a different guild, and you are perfectly able to make a difference. That's an extreme case, but at least some of it is true for a lot of members. I'm begging you not to dismiss this, please think about it if you're really here for the guild, or you're just here because you've been here for years, or just because you wanted a cool custom siggy, or (the list can go on and on.)
I've wanted to leave this guild many times- a lot of times out of anger against superiors, a lot of times out of anger toward inactive members, a lot of times to stupid rules, a lot of times to people who have good ideas but are too scared to do anything for fear of loosing brownie points, and, occasionally, because of a lame name (oh, there go some more brownie points.) But, in the end, I know these are things that can be solved if people are willing for change, and are willing to be a part of that change.
Anyway, that's about it.
the first paragraph is true, we don't do shit and not get bored, ive had times where i'd just sit in a chat room and talk to my F list, which is composed of 90% of sick members.

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do

But this isn't a thread about making a purpose for SICK, it's about changing the rules for it...
Maybe, but they mentioned lack of people and stuff... and why would people want to join a guild that has no purpose. I never cared for gifts or help or promotions or whatever. I just wanted to find a well-mannered, organized clan that actually plays the damn game.
personally in a clan i would rather have about 5-20 people who are constantly playing, and are very very good at the game. i cant stand playing with people who dont know what the fuck they are doing. sick just has way to many people, and alot of them are newbies or just arent good at the game.
with few exceptions sick is just a shitty clan with a gay name. people like bambi, silver, ferret, winston, and a few others should break off and make there own elite clan without such a gay name.

DIABLO = DEVIL its not supposed to be a nice game autostats are rediclous lack of pots is not welcome if it aint broke dont fix it! (diablo2)
lol, nice hardcorepoore. i like the words. but you mak a good point. sick just has to many inactive people which isnt right. so who's been inactive for a month. who hasnt made a major post or hasnt been seen in the d2 channel for a month? if they havent done that. boot them out.
Well, I can understand people being inactive, when all you do is either baal run, mf run, or pvp. And most people have played through the game old school as well...
Every game has it's limits. Some people just enjoy the game more than others. I've enjoyed this same game consistently for 8 years and have no intentions of stopping any time soon. But I guess you've just proved that, then- you're just one of the larger number of people that can't enjoy the same thing twice (more realistically, 1,000,000,000 times.)
is there a way to show the members from the channel bot? im just wondering also to show maybe new members from the game that dont come here. depending on how rules change.

I enjoyed the game for almost 3 years. It was exciting exploring everything and learning all the ins and outs. Now its monotonous. You have to memorize prices and rememorize them when the change and then do millions of baal runs over and over.

It's stealthbot so you can manually make a command, which with Stealthbot is REALLY FREAKING EASY. And when I say "REALLY FREAKING EASY" I am making an understatement at how easy it is...

It's like a fan-made economy and bureaucracy, which I heavily enjoy. But yeah, those first few years were probably the more exciting moments. That's not a problem easily fixed, though- I hope they can figure something out for Diablo III.

Yeah, it really is. Basically, if you know .NET (since that's what it's in) or C++ you're good. You could probably figure it out just from looking at scripts on your on, though. It's really not that hard. I was going to add some things to my bot for the guild, but I just never got the constitution to go through with it, I'm very lazy; that, and I just quit.
Well, forcing people to do baal runs is a problem...

Lol we said the same thing many times while on D2 man.. we almost started like 3-4 clans but then they always backed off and went back 2 sick ( why i don't fucking know ) but yea i kinda agree with you man 5-20 ppl that are constantly on would be a great thing..
Btw Silver Channel sitting is not considered active Imo.. ( Btw Nice work on Makin a very good person Quit and Go to fucking East do 2 poor leadership )

Likewise. I have looked at SICK multiple times and can't figure out why it exists. I had almost joined multiple times, but, well...
