The Seekers of Illumination

I don't think it's every single member. And there aren't that many active BOD members anyway. Priscilla and Vampiric are still here. Bryan is most likely still here since he is a staff member and said he'd be working in his FF7 forum yesterday.

So really, not that many people are leaving, but at the same time, it is sad to see them go. But it was their decision. And really, "quitting to make a statement" plans never work out.

[T.G. Oskar]

I, personally, would not like to say anything about the stunt the BoD is pulling off. I know they like to pull off some threats and some pranks, and I'm sure this is one of them. I won't say the BoD's influence is off this thread until half a year has passed. In the meantime...

The Masters as organization are more of a neutral group. Anomaly's character himself was an ultimate neutral, which could fight in both light and darkness. IN a sense, if the BoD were to lose, they are to become the "Dark" group on the grounds of proper balance. In fact, in a sense, they themselves balance the Tao.

However...I have quite a difficulty on the term of balance, especially since effectively neutralizing a band of good for the balance of the world is irrelevant in a world unbalanced by evil. So, regardless of the happening, I still vie for the good. For the Light, although Light and Altruism are not necessarily stuck together. Many times does so-called members of the "Light/Good" have done atrocities worse than imagination can allow.

Sinis...are you saying that you are not in tune with the club because you're a "lefty"? DO remember that, sinister derives from the term referring the left hand, as dextrous refers to the right hand. It is culture that relates the left hand (the sinister hand) to evil, while the right hand (the dextrous hand) is the one related to good. Pure hogwash. And, if you bypass that hogwash, then you must be aware that sinister merely has a negative connotation, but is not truly evil.

As a foreclose of the BoD's stunt, I will say that they have their own site where they can do what they want, as they are the mods and the admins. If they want to make the staff act as they want, they're dead wrong.

And...dead straight, I thought Vicky over here would have a slight bias over the BoD. Then again, being a staff member and a responsible individual that has helped form many good clubs and prune others, I commend the adherence to objectivity. Then they say that Toph goes in favor of the Masters...

Old saying says, "you reap what you sow". They desired to reap extermination, they got annihilated. Heck, Anomaly's godly character got wasted (and I know just how well-thought was that character, personally I must admit), that's a mention.

...all I finally have to say is, those gents are too addicted to TFF. They were born here, they will return here, in one way or the other. And more boisterous and preposterous as ever.

While that happens, I expect to build ourselves as a force to be reckoned, and also respected. After all, ID is another battlefield, one where the power of conviction, the smartest mind, and the greater amount of proofs make the discussions closed satisfactorily.

[Sinister]

Oh, I'm quite aware of the assigned significance of the terms, Oskar. I have a long standing rapport with the word Sinister(that for the time has been revealed to enough people). But you may also see, via an inspection of my address ([email protected]), that I am both principly ambidextrous and a fan of balance.

As for BoD, I anticipated this outcome should they lose, and they failed me not. I do not like to see them leave, the Masters PALE in comparison. "Tis meet the armor sketch the foe." Inversely like-wise so.

I might mention my utter lack of debating skills as well. As it stands I'm far from an idiot, far from by most standards, but I'm not one for conflict outside of a fencing strip and apparently an RPB. I like to listen and say my peace but apart from that, I'm not one to battle-charge an issue.
