Right, well, after the fiasco in that thread, and some other things, I posted a message in the BPS forums:
Quote:Hello, I'm Unseelie, from the Discovery Server community. Your people have been seen on our Server, and [BPS]Discovery (you're member) said that you guys would be joining up, and posting stories, etc. He also said you'd have a meeting, and asked some of us to show up, I was the only one who could make it. Unless I missunderstood something, you guys stood me up. Jilted bride at the alter for two hours...anyway, we've reports of some actions by your people that concern us, the Discovery Community, as well as a guy who claims to be on your side, but has a very bad rep, and is painting you with the same brush. I'm not here to make any judgements, just to ask you guys to get a bit of a presence on the Discovery.com forums and explain yourselves, and figure out a bit about discovery to prevent you from making such blunders as buying guns from the Kusari.
Welcome to disco.
Hoping that will lead them here, and get them integrated at least decently.
To any BPS (or any other clan, really):
You must understand that disco isn't much like most other servers, in my view. These forums are as much a part of disco as the server, possibly more. Time spent here is time spent playing the disco game, which is only marginally freelancer(and may become less so). It may not be fair, but we don't care where you've been, only what you do here, and we've been doing things our way for a very long time, and wont be willing to let you change...you'll have to fit in, you really will.
I want you to succeed here, but take that with a grain of salt. I, and many of my compatriots, are not particularly interested in your clan succeeding, or even joining. As a clan, I'm sure you have prohibitions against multiclanning, which we will encourage you to do. We mean no insult, no more than you would if you asked us not to. It works for us, in spite of failures elsewhere. It is a large part of what makes discovery work.
Imagine a soccer game: Two groups of children, 5 on 6, not a full match yet, are playing a game. 5 more come along, but instead of dividing up, and joining the other team, they want to play with three teams. This, of course, is quite possible, but it is much harder to integrate that extra team into the game. They would probably start over. That's almost exactly what a clan tries to do here, and its a nasty process. Kudos to you if you survive it, I'm just letting you know what you may be trying. Disco, as my signature indicates, is something of an anticlan, and has a history of tearing clans apart and spitting them back out.
That said, we would like you to prevail. Myself, I would much rather you split up, and join other clans, and just play disco the way we play it. That probably seems alien to you, but you seem very alien to me.
Most of all, remember, you earn our respect only here, and through no fault of your own, your predicesors have already torched some of the respect we would have granted you. We've had bad experiences, and come away scarred.
Welcome to disco. Its a wonderful place, and it literally saved my life.
Unseelie.
