As a representative of the RP community as a whole, you need to represent the community AS A WHOLE. Both Balmung and Gilgamesh.

I point to that poll again that's been circling the net that originated there. Most Redditers as we know are going to Gilgamesh. So, because of that many may be torn in leaving their community to go to Balmung. I came into the thread and said "hey, there will be rp on Gilgamesh if you guys are interested". And this is after someone gave the link to this site. So trust me I am sure many of them know that Balmung is there. And nothing is stopping you from going there to mention Balmung as a place to go.
Gilgamesh has already split this community in twain. Discretely not mentioning the original RP server merely comes across as self serving your own invested interests.

As for me having to make a Reddit account, learn to use the site, find all these RP posts and correct them because you and other Gilgamesh members simply chose to purposely leave out two words "and Balmung" seems a bit snobbish but I guess I have to now seeing how I have been and will continue to be a community representative for the RPC.

Nobody is here to stop people from going to Balmung. But I am not going to tell someone to willingly walk into what may be a hostile environment either. Oh look someone had to hide their Reddit affiliation due to people contantly throwing them into the pot of trollish community status. (that sounds like a group in real life- whoa) You want to make it better? Then come in threads like these and remind those that are concerned by players from Reddit to not put everyone in the same boat because they have roleplayers too, let it be known that Redditers, 4chan and whoever else will be just as welcome on Balmung if they want to roleplay no matter who they are affiliated with. That should be your goal honestly.
Once again, seems like you want me to clean up your actions because you rather not. I have been NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but supportive of Gilgamesh and the community as a whole. I only ever asked was for reasons why they chose not to play Balmung. The responses were vague, misleading or down right misinformation and lies. As we try to address those, we are considered elitist, pecking (whatever the hell that means) and exclusive when we have been nothing of the sort.
The game isn't even out yet, new players haven't had a chance to get to know Balmung players outside this forum and the CONSTANT rehashing of this is getting tiring. I've tried saying my peace once already a few pages back but I keep getting drawn in trying to correct these blatant oversights, misinformation or down right hate on myself and other Balmung players. In addition, abusing the Bold, Italics and Underscore options detracts from your post.

Too convenient to include "and Balmung" when mentioning Gilgamesh as an RP server on the Reddit? I'm all for supporting, as you have seen ESPECIALLY in my welcome to the RPC video. But from the way this was worded I could have just as well not included Gilgamesh as it would have been "too convenient to include a secondary server"
To Everyone else, Gilgameshians and Balmungians:
Enough is enough.
We are a community. Start acting like it and stop acting like a bunch of middle school students. We are invested into Role Playing as a group. If Balmung goes one way and Gilgamesh goes the other, SO BE IT. But stop FIGHTING about it. STOP LOOKING FOR A FIGHT! STOP TEARING EACH OTHER APART! You are all old enough to know better!
