Jules: I dont like or dislike this Big Boss - If this is a board to advertise fellowships - might as well make it go both ways -

redfrog: I don't think that's allowed on this board, no matter how much you don't like someone.

redfrog: Yes it is sad, isnt it, you make valid points, it happens in other f/s's as well

Well - this is a sad thing to start making a habit of - but this being the f/s board - I feel its important to discuss a particular f/s.

I know there are many who enjoyed the f/s ŊøøҜs έ Craηηίεs but it seems all good things come to an end.

I am writing to caution current members and those considering membership in the future - DO NOT JOIN OR LEAVE NOW!!!

I know there is some backstory on the Big Boss change - but the new management is insulting members as they leave.

I suggest a few things -

1. Dont join the f/s as its past its day of glory and is run by a rude Big Boss.

2. Feel free to leave the f/s if you are a current member - there is no obligation to stay in a f/s that has changed from when you joined.

3. Block the Big Boss before you leave - because once you do - You will get an insulting PM to mark your action. This is confirmed by several people.

Its a shame that people cannot join and leave fellowships for their own reasons - without receiving "hate mail"

So there it is - be warned BK - Stay Away from that F/S!!!!

Thanks...

Oceans Apart: hmmmm I thought I was moving on

Ok Rose

Rose: okie dokie

This isnt the right board for this conversation.. Please take it to private PM's thank you

heavenlyemma: Seems abit daft to me and others, your not part of the fellowship anymore, well u were, until we noticed your posts disappearing, move on, and forget about it now.

Oceans Apart: Why not?

The BEST part of BrainKing Fellowships is that there is something for EVERYONE - - - for those that want to live "in the box" & for those that prefer to live "outside the box" - - - It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round & I think it's GREAT that Fencer allows people to have forums that suite them, whether others find them to be "negative", "appropriate", or "fun" - - - Adults should, and do, have choices in Fellowships here & that's part of what makes this site a cut above the rest

I'll think I'll plug The Debate Club at this point.

redfrog: You know.. I've learnt from negative fellowships to turn the cheek, to not let those who'd use words or your own past to control and intimidate you have any effect on me. Spiritually I've gotten stronger.

There is an old saying... "You can't learn anything in Heaven"

redfrog: Well said

Well it seems I’ve been misunderstood on my remarks regarding fellowships that are being self-labeled as "negative". My intention with my post was not to analyze the ability of the members to enjoy what they do in these fellowships. There is no forcing anyone to participate in any interaction and any that do participate in these "negative" fellowships, do so out of their own free will.

My comments were focused in a slightly different light. I'm not debating the pleasure received out of indulging in uncivilized conversations. I am however, stating that it’s a shame that adults cannot find a way to resolve conflict and express differences in a well behaved way.

Do friends talk smack and poke fun – of course they do. Should people who genuinely dislike each other have the right to say and express negative opinions in any and every sort of vulgar way possible? NO! That’s my issue. That’s the reason for my post. “Civilized society” is an ideal I admit. I admit I would prefer to live in a world where people were decent. However, that’s not the case – and it’s a shame that even an online gaming site like this gets infected by those who cannot or at least choose not to moderate themselves or exhibit a decent level of self control.

What is considered by some as entertainment may in fact be damaging to the spirit and personality of others. It’s irresponsible to say that free speech means you are free to be as rude as you like. The current state of society is a result of acceptable norms. Instead of wallowing in the muck of derogatory remarks, which further lower the acceptable norms, why isn’t the focus on building stronger relationships, having fun, and resolving conflict in a productive manner?

Tying in the reason this is on the fellowship board…. I encourage all BK users to participate in fellowships. They are a great way to find a niche in an online community. I caution all of you who find these “negative” fellowships entertaining. I’m voicing my concern that you could be damaging your own spirit and lowering your personal acceptable norms by requesting memberships.

Jules: You are absolutely right

redfrog: Yep. Just look at the 'cold war' and the use of 'pawns'. I think it was called the idea of using one evil against another while maintaining 'clean' hands.

Eriisa: Exacly no one makes people stay in a fellowship, it's a choice. And you'll be suprised at how much love and friendship there is in 'negative' fellowships... even sinners love

Jules: most civilized countries think war is a good idea - or the abandonment of civility and good manners?

Jules: And its nice that BrainKing can be a refuge from the realities of war. In here ere all people can play games without the fear of being attacked and degraded.

While some people may want to create fellowships that provide negativity and degradation, at least its a simple step to click 'leave the fellowship' and find all the friendly fellowships, that promote harmony and friendships.

redfrog: It already is in "real life" it's called war. And most modern civilised nations still think it's a good idea.

joshi tm: I dont think that was the point the redfrog was trying to put across

redfrog: Oh you are so right.

redfrog: A Black Rook member could have 3 f/s es.

Its too bad that I'm already the BB of two fellowships - Wouldnt it be great if we could have ANOHTER F/S dedicated to being as immature and irresonsible as we could possibly be? It's just silly that people think that the nature of an online forum allows for an abondonment of civilty and good manners. How would this work in real life? Oh yeah - the Jerry Springer show comes to mind.... pathetic....

Ladies and Gents - It seems the next evolution of f/s team play is upon us. I have created a new f/s Plente's Evil Twin Brother - the purpose being to increase team challenge opportunity. Any Plente member interested in frequent play may participate. Once enough members have joined (at least 8) then we will split the teams fairly - a minimum of 4 on the Twin Team - and 4 on Plente's team - maybe much more and much bigger!!

Im posting this here - not as an effort to take members away from existing teams - when it comes to team tournaments from fencer - i would fully expect that players will leave and go back to their home to play.... the bonus is - you can leave a team - and finish those matches - and rejoin your own and still play....

you could even join up - get started - and leave to go back and participate in your own f/s team challenges - its impossible to be on two teams at the same time - so we never have to worry about playing ourselves!!! lol

Anyone interested send me an request to join....
