I have a hel rune.

Ok, soooo what has happened?

Well it all started with Kwan (aka D2Child@jsp) who was one the 2 hosts of the GM Melee East duel ladder. He sold the number 2 rank spot to someone who's never even dueled, letting this person (Resilience@JSP - who we have nothing against personally) skip over 40 people - this naturally outraged the entire ladder. After that things went straight to hell in a hand basket... (short version)

More detailed part was that Skeeted sold his account and character to Resilience and Kwan let him take over his rank spot, I was the first one to catch this and tried to reason with Kwan who simply ignored me like a tyrant, control freak - very unprofessional.

First off...
"Message Forwarded From SirSteve1
I was just looking at your NL thread... and there is no way in HELL I would let somebody sell their rank on my ladder with thier char. IMO that would just ruin the Integrity of the competition. The first problem would be is it is Illegal trade to sell somebody your whole "character/acct/Name" on JSPand you guys would be posting proof of it in your thread. And thats just the "technical reason". The Integrity of the ladder would be non existant If you just let somebody "buy" themself a spot they didnt earn. I dunno Adam, I could give u ten reasons and rant about this for hours it upsets me thinking about it but I dont feel like typing that much.... IMO its just WRONG!"

Second was Kwan told everyone to fuck off and its now his ladder - the Admins and other owner were very surprised about this child-like behavior, almost as if Kwan had been paid off or something - I was angry about this because I once called Kwan/D2Child my friend. He was a good guy and become an asshole who is now dubbed Ganghis Kwan and is unwelcomed just about everywhere on JSP.

Third, he betrayed his own rules and his integrity, he let an illegal sale happen on the ladder and then sold the rank spot as well. Its just a game, I know that and if you want to sell your character/account - personally its none of my business. But dont sell the guy a rank spot who didnt earn it - would be like buying a NASCAR Team, the car - and all the trophies and claim that you earned it as well... Thats doesnt make any bloody sense.

Everyone that attemped to speak to Kwan was completely shut down as he made statements saying thats my decision and it's final you guys can shut up!

Everyone has lost total respect for this idiot - there is no doubt in my mind that if the price was right? He would sell his own mother.

What happen following this was several Moderators/Mediators (some of you know already) then came into the game on D2 in pn/1 and began nuking everyone. So while the JSP ladder was on fire so it did in-game, Prezident Brennon did get a screen shots which is why certain JSP Mods and their 'trusted tags'/authority were stripped from them with no honor. This then caused the confrontation on the GM Melee East Dueling Ladder to spam up with drama as these pricks tried to deny themselves being in the game and nuking people. The confrontation then began to spill into guilds etc etc Which I keep out of Dark Tavern. As a result the ladder was closed...

What happens now..?
Several major GM Melee guilds have exiled Ganghis Kwan the tyrant as he made a new Melee ladder - nothing but bad comedy. The major melee guilds (Melee, MILITIA, Palapk Nation & Playboy) have invited Dark Tavern to a meeting to form a new single huge GM Melee East Duel ladder. This is an honor and we will try to help as much as possible, the honor is Dark Tavern being recognized as a major GM Guild!

I will keep everyone informed naturally of was will happen and the events to come, it looks like a great time and a lot of fun!

2 Other things:
1. I will be running a guber today at some point - keep ya posted

I hope this meeting goes well and that the new ladder gets underway soon

And congrats to those that are up for promotion, I know they deserve it

Couple things..


Matt.. Ive got a 20 pride an i would be willing porobly to sell to ya.




As for the GM ladder shit.. well i know the one mod oBg and he shoulda been stripped of that tag a long time ago... hes a worthless hacking child. As for kwans actions im suprized and yet not suprized, hes always kinda been that way just openly expressed it fianly. As for the meeting of melee minds.. seems intersting time will tell.



On another note... ill be iso ubers and doing rushers later wont be on for a few but i will get back to d2 later tonight.

Anyone able to hop on ladder to help me for a minute?

Sure Jake
There will be a guber game later, I will wait til anyone who needs a rush to hook up with Shane then after that I will host a guber game
