I just love it when people meet my expectation ..

Its so sad when this sort of thing happens :( Thanks for the heads up on the name :)

Unfortunately greed gets the better of some people

 

Some people succumbs to greed.

I have lost a few friends over greed in the past (real life friends.) and I hate seeing it happen, I don't value money as much as I value friendships.. Might sound like I'm rich but I'm a poor student! :D

It's always sad to see this shit happening and I can see your reasoning behind this post.
99% of the time I'm the good guy, keep my aggressions to myself, always help people out nomatter what, I lend stuff out etc etc and I know I'm a good guy... But eventually, some asshole takes it for granted and or I find myself in a situation where I am totally unwilling to let anyone slip past me, I will (for once.) be selfish.

And this is kind of what I feel this post was.. One of those times where you were tired of being the good one and just couldn't care less about moralfags everywhere.
So I think you did a great thing posting this, It's a sad story but shit like this is actually rather decent to get out in the public eye.
I don't mind namecalling at all, as long as the person has a possibility to redeem himself and you are willing to alter your post.



I have always considdered NBK being a clusterfucked society and I can honestly say it was no surprise it actually happened in one of their socs, please, I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just honest with no intentions of pissing you off.



Reading this just makes me appreciate my society even more, noone under 18 allowed in, anyone who gets in knows someone on the inside and we are a tight knit group from the start, my socmates trust me a 110% with their gear, and I trust them with mine. <3

Thanks for posting this and welcome to entropiaplanets! =)

 

thats why I suggested to post here too as it will be gone soon from EF I guess :/

Always good to know the names of these assholes...

 

yeah the story about what happened and some background info make it so much better, hate to see people posting "this guy/girl is a scammer because I didn't know I could get 110% and they only gave me 102% on my muscle oil"

And if they wanna challenge your statement I hope they still do, but somehow I doubt this asshole will lol

 

Thanks for the heads up.

The only thing I would have done differently was not demote him. In my experience demoting does not lead to an acceptance of discipline, but rather an angry lashing out of the internet ego. I would have spoken to him and given him the opportunity to engage in the split immediately.

His behavior would have been judged based off that single reaction. If things were handed over quickly and without question there would be no issue, no demotion, nothing. It would have been chalked up to the shit happens, but sometimes its not really shit category.

If he even put up the slightest bit of protest though I would have pressured him to hand over the items for split, and then regardless of whether he split it or not he would have been given a polite farewell. In the end he got what was coming to him in this case, but with just a little more awareness of what the demoting thing actually does to people in a land where the ego is all people really have.... well... who's to say what could have happened.

It might have been the same...

 

Bah! :D
Silly me.

A quick question arises though.. Don't you feel somewhat.. Used?
You just stay there in that soc and watch other people "climb" the soc-ladder?

In my soc we put the new people on the lowest rank, slooowly over time and trust they get promoted.
It's like... We get to know them since step 1, if we had a recruit soc they would first have to make friends in the first soc, then in the second.

To me it makes no sense because I prefer a soc to be a tight-knitted group since day one.
Please don't considder my questions rude, I have no other intentions than to relieve myself of this mystery! :D

 

I have been friends with the NBK family for a long time, and I have seen their operation from the inside as a guest. I can tell you that they have efficiency, despite the level and amount of challenges and drama the community perceives them to have.

Make no mistake, they have had their challenges and drama, and personally, I feel that some of it certainly could have been avoided, but this isn't the time nor the place to discuss it. I just know that they have a decent system in place for how they recruit and educate new members, and also how they develop them to move up into higher ranking socs with more benefits.

And ... it does make sense to me for someone to be in a group who have skills within a certain range. There are many socs where you can't even get into them unless you have a certain skill level. I like how organized the NBK is, and not only the incremental benefits that they give their members, but that high level members are available to contribute toward development as well.

There are several socs within our community who have academy and shadow socs as training grounds for advancing to a higher level or ranking soc, so I see nothing out of the ordinary here whatsoever.

 

I hope you realize I never said anything that contradicts what you just wrote here.

I see what you mean and I when I first read this I had pictured in a very different fashion.

 

My comment wasn't made as a derogatory statement Hon, but rather one in which I expressed an alternate opinion (in so many words) that having an entry-level soc as a training ground with guided development and access to other socs within the organization to enhance the process does make sense to me. Unless I read your post wrong, you said that it didn't make sense to you, which is perfectly ok, and I respect that, because ...

The way that you do it within your soc works perfect for you, so it's a matter of preference with what fits more comfortably with a soc's agenda and cohesiveness. All of these methods work just fine with good leadership in place, so no problems. ;)

 

Anything new ... or did he just disappear from the surface??

 

wow, didn't take him long to find another 'home' then :( And good luck indeed ...

 

Are you going to tell their leaders what has happened?

 

 

Because staying ontopic, involves THE BEST GOD DAMN AUTOTUNE IN THE WORLD!!! :D
