Apologies, Red.

I would like to apologize.

I apologize to Colgate, who gave me awesome gear and loot, enjoyed my videos, laughed at my jokes, allowed me to allyoop during pvp, and was a funny and awesome individual himself. You'd think it would be impossible for a dukelover to love the duke's greatest enemy, but it's true, he's awesome.

I apologize to Gongshow, who vouched for me, and cheered me on through my everquest, video, and musical adventures. He's a real goog and funny guy.

I apologize to Terp, who in his enigmatic and powerful bloodlust gained control of the server, and allowed me to benefit as well.

I apologize to all of Holocaust for having a hand in the changing of the guild name. And I apologize to those who wasted their time helping my character achieve gains only to be banned in the end. Namely Gradner, Casey, Sassa, Veemoda, Gnarly, Gzaz, Riding, Nirgon, Gyno, Wasp, Fred, Revy, Hona, Fandango, Dan.

I apologize to the red99 community. Though widely regarded as racist, sexist, griefy, greasy, evil etc. Is really full of some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to quest with. My love of everquest has always been the complex social politics and interaction the game fields. Blue is full of people who would prefer to goto the DMV rather than a crazy party. Everquest should not be about waiting in line for 10 months or more for a chance at an epic, only to stand in a tunnel and do nothing with it. You will never get an epic on the first day of joining blue. You will never have as much fun on blue as I have on red.

I do not expect to get unbanned, and if it stands I plan to continue to have fun on red. Though, I may stop accepting loot, because I don't want to be known as a black hole where loot goes to die once I get banned again.

Quote:

“Humor is tragedy plus time.”

― Mark Twain

Racism, sexism, the holocaust, 9/11, hatespeech. They are topics used in comedy ad nauseum. The human race is a ridiculous conglomeration of stupidity, hatred, and more stupidity. As a teamspeak comedian and lifelong cynic, I have an abrasive wit, especially when I am around others that respond to it.

Look at that, a funny movie, loved by many including myself, where the main characters dress up as a Nazi and KKK member. A movie that routinely plays on cable without this scene edited out. I don't know whether the Holocaust guild name was this kind of joke from the beginning, but it certainly turned into one.

People from other guilds have continued to put pressure on the Holocaust guild name because they want to grief the top guild's members into having it changed. I'm sorry my actions finally allowed them to win a war they started only to make people mad. I doubt anybody who objected to the name was actually offended. And my screenshot was in part an answer and parody of their claim that we were some kind of racist white power guild. It should go without saying that that has never been the case.

If sirken, nilbog, rogean, aussie, eunomia, and other gm's can honestly say they have never told or laughed at a racist joke, sexist joke, or a joke mocking a tragedy, then I accept the ruling. But as that's basically impossible, I'm not too pleased with losing my little taunto, the almost epic'd warrior.

Lite has a snout.

Andis is bald.

Sektor's wife is fat.

Colgate is 7 years old.

The duke rolls through heaven in a golden wheelchair.

20 years was soon enough for Hogan's Heroes to make fun of tragedies of WWII. But apparently 70 years is too soon here.

I know nothing.
