Having not cussed anyone out, spoken angrily, or actually issued the warnings I was threatening and which were very, very deserved, having documented everything so the rest of the Whills could make decisions when they got on, I have been classed as a "dark" Whill, you can hear it in how they speak to and about me, and told I am in the wrong in every way.
I've deleted my long-developed and only character, Yahz'hu, and am simply around still until I get a response from all Whills about my permanently leaving. Sorry to break your heart, Annikki."
I have to admit I am rather disappointed with Adil for writing that, let alone publicly. You may ask why of course; it's a fair question. I am happy to explain.
For Adil to say he was correcting a player is untrue; he was effectively issuing an ultimatum. An unfair ultimatum too, as I am sure Vale you would be one of the first players to agree that a player deserves some kind of explanation when a Whill takes action against them.
For Adil to say ALL other Whills told him he could not moderate openly is untrue; all Whills have the right to moderate and none say different, but how he handled the matter contravened the Whill Code of Conduct.
For Adil to say that other Whills recommend cow-towing is untrue; while we are here for the players and our job is to facilitate their enjoyment, we should not and do not let them walk all over us.
For Adil to say that he has not spoken angrily is untrue; he has indeed done so quite vehemently. I know of players that have been IRed for much less.
For Adil is say he did not issue the warning he was threatening is untrue. ACP logs show that he did issue the warning, then later rescinded it.
For Adil to say he has been classified as a "dark Whill" is
true, but by none other than
himself.
And finally, for Adil to talk about the way the other Whills speak to and about him as if he is always wrong offends me personally, for up until now I am always assumed Adil and I had a good relationship. More than just assumed; I was sure of it. Not so sure anymore however.
Finally, the 'situation' that Adil is in - having deleted his player acocunt and retiring his Whill account - is not really a situation so much as a decision; a decision he made of his own volition, and one he made before one such as I even had the opportunity to discuss it with him.
So Vale, before you get on your high horse and go making accusations, I
strongly suggest you find out the facts. So many times over the years have I seen you make accusations and insinuations that are hurtful or insulting and also often turn out to be untrue. I recommend that you break the habit.
But wait you might say, I was 'just asking'. Well go back and read the very first line of your post; its nothing less than a condemnation of the whole Whill council.
Now Jair, Altus, Fallen, Apollo & Marv; I do appreacite your comments and sentiments. They are heard. Adil has indeed been a great support to many including myself. But the case is not so simple. And the truth is that this is not about any kind of behind the scenes politics; it's simply that Adil has CHOSEN to move on, based on the fact that he feels he has been wronged and that his brother and sister Whills want him gone. It is not true, but I will admit to some tension between some of my "siblings", as does happen in all groups from time to time. But it is certainly not my sentiment. While I do say and will continue to say I think Adil handled the situation he was in poorly, he is not the first and will not be the last Whill to make a mistake; a fact we must all keep in mind. But he has chosen his road.
Should you have any more queries or questions on this, I would be happy to oblige you.
Yours truly,
Whill Odin
