Gds, Steve.
On a side note, I don't want to pretend that Skeeted's scam against Resilience is not an issue for me, my Guild or anyone else. He was a P.N. member, with a high position at that. I knew of Skeeted's past and was cautioned about letting him join the Guild, but my own belief about letting a person have a second chance in life, really proved me wrong this time. I was wrong and I admit it. Although it probably would not have mattered whether Skeeted was in the P.N. or not, the trade/purchase with Resilience might or might not have happened, but in either case I take full responsibility and give Resilience my deepest apologies. I have no excuses nor want to give any. All I can say is that I need to be more "resilient" in the future with my members.
The truth is, this is definitely not the first time this has happened and I'm sure it's certainly not the last time either...
I've been greatly privileged to be the #1 rank several times and for long periods of time, but I've been even more greatly honored to help develop this Ladder as one of the five Council members.
I'm seriously considering resigning, but I don't want to do it on a whim without discussing what's best for the Ladder with the rest of the Council.
If you are the president of the United States, you cannot resign for the corruption of one of your high officials. What happened was the lack of integrity of one man, now weighed vs the need for the Palapk Nation's support for the United Guilds Melee Ladder.
If Skeeted's misdeeds cause you to resign from the Council, that would just have increased the damage that Skeeted has done, and not beneficial for the GM users of jsp and players of melee pvp at all.
This is my view and I firmly believe that Bren need not be punished for the acts of another man whom he trusted.
