Any guilds recruiting "gits" ?

[GarthGrey]

I was told today that I'm nothing but a "git". I'm not even sure what that means, but I can assume well enough to think it must not be a very positive attribute. I was also told by this same person that they've hated me since the day I joined NEW. Now after apologizing for my adolescent cussing to everyone in gen chat (including the person that directed their feelings my way, but had probably already put me on ignore by then), and still feeling quite red faced about the whole ordeal, I logged out and thought long and hard and tried to think back to my short stint in NEW and the type of person I was then. I'm fairly certain I was nothing more than a hide/stealth trainee, but I don't recall being anything negative or hateful that would prompt someone to have such hard feelings about me from that first day. I don't remember ever being in any guild chat, or going on any NEW hunt, or honestly being given any decent gear to help me out. And so I think I left NEW in under 2 wks. I"m fairly certain there were no hard feelings, at least not from me anyway.

I left NEW and then joined the only guild, (other than those hosted solo), I've ever been in. I was not a very productive member of this guild, and probably didn't put as much in as I could have, but I also know I was not a hard ass towards anyone while being in that guild and I left it holding no ill will towards anyone in that guild, or anyone affiliated with that guild, or hell even any enemies of that guild. But still I remained hated by one, and possibly by many other people without even knowing it.

Which brings me to the point of my post. I've been a solo player now for much too long. Maybe that's why I log in now and sit in my room staring at my junk trying to come up with something to do. Maybe that's why I"m a "git", because i've become dependent on myself only, instead of being able to rely on others and help others of course, when needed. I would like to think I was pretty helpful even as a solo player, I know I've given away more stuff to new players, or those in need, than most people have. But clearly that wasn't enough.....so....

Would anyone like to recruit a git of a guy ? I've got lots of skills, can provide my own equipment, I would like to think I can get along with others. And hey, if i really am just a total asshat, with nothing to offer, say that then. Tell me "hell no dude, you'll never be in my guild because of a...b...c.....Maybe I'll come away still being a solo player, but a more refined one.

thanks for reading

Heck how stereotypical we've become wrapped up in our on self worth and in thinking that we are better then others because of a guild tag we own.....well I am not sure I know you, and I cant tell you, nor would I throw at you, you cant join my guild because of a....b.....or c.....I extend you an invite to _CM_, We are not a huge guild, we are a fairly new guild. We don't ask much other then to have Ventrilo for when we do the roof or a spawn. I'll leave this invitation open, msg me if you feel this is something you would care to do. ~Lady Glow~

I really don't know what a "git" mean. I don't know what this are about but you can always join The DarkOutlaws and be a part of The Unwanted Alliance. I don't remember having any issues with you.
I can't know if you will fit in TDO* but we can try

 

[Mr. Jamison]

You should come join me Garth! we can be 2 "gits"!!!

I think this is an interesting post Garth. My opinion of you is that you can be pretty crusty and raw, but that is just your persona and if a player doesn't it take it personal then they see that you are generally decent and helpful. I think it is neat that you acknowledge that being a solo player can sometimes be detrimental though. I felt that way on prodo for a while before coming here. I do stuff with whoever is available, so anytime you see me in GC announcing a spawn jump right in.

I just looked git up... I might be one too.

I think there are a number of gits on this shard... and some days we're more gitty than others. Personally, I find you pretty entertaining. I know we had our differences about the flying turkeys, but I like to think I set you straight there. You're one of those people you can have a "traditional argument" with. Like the philosophers had arguments, everyone submits their position on the issue, there is discussion, and an attempt at logic is made. There's just more snark used here...

 

[Silent Singer]

Flying turkeys? Didn't you guys watch WKRP in Cincinnati?

We are due at our age, for putting up with pubescent kids who thought it was totally cool to act like morons on the internet twenty years ago.

I have a different theory about the word "git." If you saw the film "No Country for Old Men" (one of my faves) the hero says he got the bag of money at "the getting place". (he may have even said "at the gittin' place." A lot of people in the south of the US say git instead of get...in plays and perhaps in real life. I would call myself a git in UO with my own definition. I love to "git" stuff... By the way, my brain MRI showed no horrors, only mild aging problems. Yay! I quit UO for a bit and tried to git another game, but nothing seemed to do the trick, so I am back for the foreseeable future and beyond.
