He won't say who he is because then everyone would burst out in fits of unstoppable and uncontrolled laughter. If he is COP..I know I would...
As far as COP goes...1 word: LAWLS!!! COP does not have 1 decent PvPer left in the entire guild. Not one. They all pay their $15 a month to play within their 4 walls and that is ok... for them.... I guess... whatever. I mean really...look at yourselves...for God's sake..you allow Selk/ Grimmy to stay in your guild!!! That single action alone has garnered you the derision of any respectable player left in the entirety of UO. That person, who plays those characters, is without question..and this coming from someone who has played most every shard against every type of player...THE biggest looser player, THE 2nd most cowardly player (every character has hide) behind DOM, that we have ever seen in all the years we have played. Unfreakin' believable! :loser:
Anyways, they are all very acutely aware that we have dealt COP a death blow. They control nothing but some faction stones that NO_ONE cares about in the slightest, or we would take those away as well. Like we do whenever we want to, as it is. Some COP, that I have talked to recently, have confided that they are starting to see current members for what they really are and are about to leave too. There will be another thinning of the herd again soon.
Face it folks, COP is dead. The body is just running around a bit because it doesn't realize we cut the head off yet. Anyone remember the Monty Pyhthon Black Knight scene? Well..hit up Youtube sometime and see it, funny stuff. COP is the Black Knight.
The only place you see COP anymore is in Trammel and even those are getting few and far between. Once a week or two, they manage to get enough archers (all with hiding) on to try to do something. As soon as the numbers hit below the 3 to 1 level, they are done. They all house hide, die and log off...in that exact order. That is NOT a guild PvPing and "dominating" anything. Those are the dying gasps of ..some single celled organism or something equally lacking in any type of cognizant ability. Any of the remaining COP, who are capable of firing up the neurons between two cranial cells, knows that this is the bare and blinding truth.
I would recommend the following, for the few remaining COP members; Mend your bridges, you are going to want to play with someone (if you remain on the shard) and your quickly diminishing group of fellow players is going to diminish a lot more very soon. Failure to mend the few bridges you have left will mean that you have no place to go. As it is, you have DOM's group, who will likely not accept any of you anymore. You have III, who will do pretty much the same, altho some of the girls might find a home there. Don't even look to SCAM, none of you are good enough and would not pass the admissions test anyways. I suppose some of you might get into PAS or something, but not to likely there either.
If you wish to continue to play this game and make any type of impact on the shard, you had best heed these words. We have seen this same scenario play out on all the shards we have destroyed. Many players simply quit the game because they have no where to go and lack the personal funds to transfer entire accounts to other shards. You are all looking down the barrel of this gun and the trigger has been pulled already. What are you going to do? This is what you have to look forward to. Open your eyes and be smarter than the below average dumb **** that is standing next to you in your guild.
Once COP is cleansed from the shard, I would be very willing to move to an open return policy for anything dropped. In fact, the others and I already return most everything to anyone else. I will personally do it free of charge to anyone except for COP. Hell, I have already given or sold many superior items to other guilds already, just so that they fight better.
In my case, when I came to the shard, it was COP who looted personal items from one of my crafters and pulled the 10 year old attitude when I offered to buy them back. I was not in SCAM at the time. That showed me, that very day, what I was going to do to COP. So, for me, COP makes the first move or there is no movement. It is as simple as that.
As far as me returning items? See above. I have never had a single COP member come up to me and ask for any item back. I would assume that they thought it would not be granted...their mistake. Karma is a pancake..as these quasi-pvping girlie men like to say.
In case you missed the drop at Luna bank today. I dropped every item I have looted from COP there today. A chest of 118 items. From Arties to jewlery, you name it, it was there. I figured someone would get good use out of them. After I read the COP member's responses here today I was certainly not going to return it to them, as I always thought we eventually would. Even as ingots/cut leather or whatever.
Your move COP. You are down to a couple pawns and your king (maybe the Queen...TMI). Doesn't look to good when you are facing a full board and a better player
