The KGB Oracle Forums KGB National Announcements, News, and Help The KGB Sentinel A Final Attempt from High King JetStar

one hell of a ride it will be.

it's over if you as a individual say it is over. As a guild KGB has someone to take the spot Romeo could be hk I mean he has been here the longest and is the crown princess I mean prince. Jet already said he would be around to help but not having the responability as the high king. We aren't there yet but I personally believe in dark fall depending on the game we will dominate the field. It just depends on how as a whole we preform. As for pvp just remember it is a skill based game not level like we are a custom too so your uo players will most likely have the pvp down and skill gain. Then shadowbane players will have the town mechanics. So KGB has a huge base of players for both sides of the field it's putting it all together that is the hard part. I think of KGB in aoc as Dallas cowboys we have all this talent and couldn't get it together.

Just for clarification: If jet leaves. KGB as I know it ends and I will not be sticking around. However, let it be known also that I will be doing everything within my power to make DFO a success. I simply cannot sugar coat all of this and say that if Jet leaves the guild will move on, blah blah blah. No matter what you say, it will not. It make move on as a formality, but it will not be the KGB that we know.

Also, If jet were to "step down" and not run the guild but still stay active you and I both know that the guild would still view him as a leader and that would not work. No, the only way for Jet to escape the DRAMA if he were to step down would be to step away altogether.

so if jet called it quits right now would all of you saying KGB wouldn't still be here. It sounds to me like the guild is giving up if jet goes. When a big company CEO/president retires does that company go under no it appoints a successor to that position might not do it the same or even as good but it doesn't stop. Plus I don't even agree with jet posting that post because all it did was bring down moral. Now we have a problem because I think 90 percent of the guild is going too try and over compensate for that post. My opinion if your trying to raise moral of a guild keep thinking positive.

Well I owe it to all of you to be honest, and let you know that for me, there is not going to be another chance.

I hope that it serves as motivation for all of us to finally get it right with teamwork and all the things we need to be successful.

I don't see this as a gloomy end, I am actually VERY excited and faithful that we can do this as a team. I really believe if we all decide to make this happen, that it will.

Lets get the spotlight off of me and focus on the upcoming game. Join the conversation in the DF forums, and offer High Chancellor Derid your support.

it is really hard typing on this iPhone it is very challenging not to hit tv wrong keys but I'm getting better at it.

I would have to agree with Jet I don't think it brings morale down I think it should motivate people to work harder to make sure it never happens in the first place. However if in the case it should, this thread should also serve to excite people for what the future holds, and how the next person will carry the torch, with new and innovative ideas or new forms of leadership.

If all you focus on is the negative then that's all you'll ever see, and most likely what you'll get. Eras come and go, The Jet Dynasty will always be a part of KGB.

I'm not prepared to start turning out the lights and shuttering up the windows, but while there is much to what Jet says, there are also varying degrees of success. I think too many of us think that if we don't instantaneously have force levels equal to or exceeding our high water marks in UO or ShadowBane, we have somehow failed. That kind of mentality sets us up in advance for failure. I'm getting ready to harsh the mellow right out of some people in here, so if you have a thin skin, you may want to move along. This may not be the post for you.

Still here?

OK...


There is a thread in the Darkfall forum here , To Big or not to Big, That is the question that talks about where our expectations should be for Darkfall.

In that thread, I have one main point: Before we can get big, we first need to demonstrate that we are good.

I don't care if we have huge numbers in Darkfall as long as those we have are committed.

Right now, here is a list of 12 KGB members who have been designated as primary participants for the Beta, along with a list of 36 alternates. I don't know if those lists still mean anything or not, and to be frank, I feel privileged to be in the company of those named. But if the only members who become active Darkfall are those others who appear in the primary list, should I feel embarrassed to stand amongst them in game, just we twelve?

Hell NO! Acting together, as one, twelve alone would be a force to be reckoned with that I will feel privileged fight with.

If you want a fight, I think you will find one in Darkfall. If you don't want a fight, craft. If you want neither to fight nor to craft, I don't know why you are here.

However many we have, 12 or 100, old or new, I hope everyone will come give their all. If you just plan to take a look, or poke it with a stick to see if it moves, continue playing XBox, Wii, free UO shards, or whatever it is you do to pass the time, but don't come to Darkfall. I don't know how Derid plans to run the show there, but maybe the best thing would be to have everyone compete for a limited number of slots in KGB Darkfall, and if you don't have a fire in the belly, you don't wear a KGB tag.

Now that is a level of hard core we have not seen before, but I think that in many ways, we have gotten fat and lazy, and maybe that is what is needed to motivate people. The people who want it will work for it. If you won't work for it, stay home. We'll do it with just 12.
