As you may have heard, WebMD, during the middle of the night, ran a kick script and kicked everyone out of the guild, took our web site, and destroyed our towers. He, then, established "The Obsidian Order" to mimic the name of the real guild "Obsidian Order".
He did this because he, personally, didn't like the way Opulent lead the guild. He came out of nowhere one day and said that he'd rather have a 'democratic' guild. This was after he asked Opulent if he'd step down as president. Opulent didn't like that idea. Opulent posted to the forums asking us (the leaders) to vote on who should become president. We all voted for Opulent to stay president.
At any rate, all the leaders, including myself, voted to have Opulent stay as president. One of the main reasons for our decision was because Web has a problem dealing with anger and he has a problem with respecting people. It was almost everyday that I got a complaint from a guild member about Web.
Unfortunately, Opulent and he are friends IRL. Opulent felt he couldn't demote or kick Web from the guild... so Web stayed with us. I've been in situations like that before and I know it was hard on Op.
We woke up today to find our guild in shreds. All because... Web didn't like the fact that none of us wanted him as president. He took what wasn't his. He could have started his own guild and led it the way he felt it should be led but instead... he destroyed our bases, our site, and our guild.
The one positive aspect to this all is that we've now removed all the inactives that Web randomly invited while he sat at BB in Ent. Despite my efforts to get him to stop the inviting, he continued until we were 680+ full of inactives.
So what now? I'm not sure. I'm still kind of in shock but I had to make a post about it seeing as how the message on the first page of our web site is full of lies. If he truly believes any of the BS then he's got a few screws loose. Fact is, no matter what ,no one wanted him as President. Opulent said he'd step down if one of us wanted to run. We all responded with "No we'd rather have you as president." IE we don't want to take your spot, we don't want web to take your spot. So Op went in accordance with our requests and remained as President.
What happens now remains to be seen. Web is pretty good at doing random invites so I am sure he'll, at least, be able to get all the clueless, newbs, and alts into his guild. I doubt, though, that after this display, anyone worth their salt will ever join his guild. Word will always eventually get around to the recruits that "The Obsidan Order" is lead by the lowest of low. A guild thief - literaly.
Heh, I knew Web was a trial... but he never once appeared to me as someone who'd take a guild that wasn't his. Or to run kick scripts or what not. Just goes to show that you never really know anyone. I didn't know Web until we told him "No, we don't want you as president, you're on KoS lists, for pete's sake."
