Title: Pandora's Box
Description: We must learn from our mistakes
Chase Raven - September 3, 2005 02:10 AM (GMT)
((Note: This thread is a compilation of the threads that were around during the downfall of the Figment Raiders, starting from Lyra's leaving and ending with the closing of the FR. These threads are:
-1/2 Month Warning
-A notice
-Recent Issue Discussion
-*Yawn!*
-Alright, hear me out folks
If some things don't make sense together, they were probably from seperate threads. The picture as a whole should make sense together.
This thread was made, in Viva's words, because it would make sense to remember the downfall and try to learn from it. ))
I think everyone has noticed the members bar. If not, look at it. What's missing?
That's right--our clan leader. Lyra has taken a break--we don't know if it's temporary yet, but we're hoping she's coming back.
Lyra has left H4X and I in charge. If you don't know us, do it--it'll be good for you. Helping out are Xantos and Starr. If anybody else is interested, just IM me and we'll see what you can do.
We will NOT be doing the Simulquest. We may do some other activity soon, but not quite yet. We need to get sorted out first.
After a short discussion, we have decided to weed out the inactives. Everyone has a month from this date to reply to this topic, unless we know you have a valid excuse to stay in, then you will be removed from the clan. I'm sorry, but your inactivity was part of the reason Lyra left.
Questions can be posted here, too. We'll try to answer anything possible.
Xantos - September 3, 2005 02:15 AM (GMT)
Right folks. We're on our own now. =/ It's up to us to take care of ourselves until Mommy gets back. Let's make her proud.
xL337H4X0RM4ST3R - September 3, 2005 02:16 AM (GMT)
Hola, just so that we know I am here...although I will prolly be on-and-off because of DSL changing and moving....
Arcion - September 3, 2005 02:28 AM (GMT)
I'm around, I'll restart the closet later. If it's alright with the leaders, I'll hold onto the second-in-command role I've been told I have. I'm not sure exactly what I did, but Ly'd talk to me when Kiwi wasn't on.
Taro - September 3, 2005 02:38 AM (GMT)
Okay, well I'm not sure what I can do around here to help. My goal is to bring honor and glory to the Figment Raider clan. It sounds real cheesy, but I actually intend to do it. I'm not sure how exactly, but it's gonna happen! If there's anything else I can do to help out around here, please someone let me know and I'll get right to it.
Hero - September 3, 2005 02:52 AM (GMT)
I'll help however I can. Just point me in a direction and give me a menial task, please.
*applaudes Chase and H4X* Thanks for taking the role of leadership, good peeps.
blackwitchkazumi - September 3, 2005 02:57 AM (GMT)
x_x I'm leaving for a while too. >.> If you read
this, you may get a clue why...
Chaseh!! Look in the trade center! x| Starr and Xantos too!
Darkstar - September 3, 2005 02:58 AM (GMT)
It's fairly obvious which people need to be kicked...but I guess we can give them one last chance....
...At least we were left in good hands!!! =)
Kiara - September 3, 2005 05:36 AM (GMT)
Despite the fact that my life is crumbling before me, I'm still around. Don't know why though, but I am. *glances around at the crumbling foundations of the FR clanhouse and sighs* If only we could have things return to what they were two years ago.....
Rayo - September 3, 2005 05:59 AM (GMT)
Obviously I'm still around...
I have my Mustang duties to perform.
Vahn Iceblade - September 3, 2005 05:59 AM (GMT)
I'm here.. don't remove me yet, I'll tell you if I am leaving.. >_> <_< which I may very well do.. but don't remove me yet.
Oh, and Chasey, we need to talk.. ~curses having work from 3-10 PM 2 days in a row~
Starrangel - September 3, 2005 01:18 PM (GMT)
What Darkstar said. ^_^
Thanks, Chase and H4X, for taking the leadership!
Duo0017 - September 3, 2005 04:36 PM (GMT)
I've been gone for the past day and a half (I've had to deal with a friend and his current break-up from a year and a month relationship and I've had to study quite a bit this week), so will someone just IM me and tell me what in the hell's going on? I know that Lyra has left and all this other bullshit is going on, but how did this little explosion start and why is this Clan in jepordy of crumbling to nothing?
Is this a disput between the "original" members, ODDlings, and some of the newer members? I've been with this clan for almost two years, and I'll be damned if I'll let this clan just fall apart just because of some stupid arguments. Now one could say that I haven't done much with the clan in the past few months... Hell, a lot of people could say that. If you feel that way, then kick me out.
So... will someone PLEASE tell me, in depth, about this whole situation? IM, PM, e-mail, I don't give a damn.
Gillion - September 3, 2005 05:47 PM (GMT)
I am here, and I don't have much else to say... I have a question, but I will ask it over IM or PM.
Jeri - September 3, 2005 06:57 PM (GMT)
I'm alive -.- Just busy with lots of things. I guess we'll all just have to show Mommy that she can come back..and that we'll listen. *smiles and salutes* IM me and bug me sometime^_^ anyone. I think my aim and msn names are on here somewheres o.o;
Kageryu - September 3, 2005 08:33 PM (GMT)
I'm alive...sorta'. My internet is still in horrible shape, and now I'm forced to use dial-up, which is extremely slow, prone to disconnect, and it randomly boots me off the net too. However, just as well as anyone...I wanna' know whats up too... I mean, I read recent posts in the simulquest thread(not really straighforward...), though I still wanna' know in depth whats going on >_>;; PM me, AIM isn't really working for me right now...
Kamina - September 4, 2005 04:28 PM (GMT)
As the current oldest member of the Figment Raiders (prolly been here longer than Bastion by a few weeks) I shall stick around and get to know y'all before i make any decision on whether or not i'll stay or go, but from the ones i met, I think I'll stay so if y'all need my help
Lance Bardock-AIM
Now that I've posted this the next person who askes who Lance bardock is will be maimed
Chase Raven - September 9, 2005 03:37 PM (GMT)
Raquar
should post too, but I'll assume he's here cos he's new.

If you have a pink-ish Chasey-shirt-colored spot next to your name, you're clear. ;D
Except if you're Darkstar. Then you get a blue dot. It means that you're "special."
XDD
Rayo's special now too. :3
Darkstar - September 9, 2005 11:41 PM (GMT)
*GASPS*....PUT A DOT BY MAH NAME, BIATCH!!

flamingmonkey_92 - September 11, 2005 09:05 PM (GMT)
I'm alive. I think. Just been busy with stuff. Lots of stuff. But I'm here. And why does dark get to be the only Special One?
Sioné - September 12, 2005 03:41 AM (GMT)
Shien - September 12, 2005 05:39 AM (GMT)
OY... I can't believe I didn't notice this sooner.
Ah, well. All hail our de facto leaders!
Starrangel - September 14, 2005 10:39 AM (GMT)
I want to take a temporary...hiatus...from Divvy. Why? Because every day, I come home from school and all I do is homework. Homework, dinner, homework, break/snack, homework, homework! I don't have time for anything else. I'll still be on occasionally, when I get a spare moment. But yesterday, I broke. My grammar stinks, but it's true. I broke, and I can't put the pieces back together. That's the only way I can say it. So I need to focus my attention onto schoolwork, and only schoolwork.
Krissy
Vahn Iceblade - September 14, 2005 01:13 PM (GMT)
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! ~glomps and hugs tightly~ Come back soon Starr!!
If ya need to talk, Va-kun will be here.

Understood. We'll save you a seat at the dinner table. Next time though, post it up in the MIA or something.
flamingmonkey_92 - September 15, 2005 01:02 AM (GMT)
Didn't know you that well but... Sorry to see you go.
Xantos - September 15, 2005 02:35 AM (GMT)
:o Take yer time Star. We'll be here when y'come back. *nodnod*
Sioné - September 15, 2005 03:05 AM (GMT)
Starr, heck yes. Take a break. Come back when you need to, and if you need to email me at RedeemedVI@gmail.com, or message me for my cell or something.
You need to talk, that's one thing I gots, an Ear.

Update! ;D
blackwitchkazumi - September 16, 2005 11:07 PM (GMT)
~_~ sorry... i was going to post earlier, but my mom started screaming at me and i didn't want to try typing while that crazy woman was beating me over the head.
x_x augh! I'm... so.... sorry! -.-;; for those of you who know*coughshitcoughsuicidecoughsister* and the rest of my problems, please don't think i'm crazy.

xL337H4X0RM4ST3R - September 16, 2005 11:09 PM (GMT)
THESE CURRENT QUESTS ARE THE LAST ONES STARTED. NO DAMN LAST-MINUTE BULL-SHIT ONE DAY QUESTS! IF YOU ARE NOT FINISHED WITH THESE BY OCTOBER 1ST, YOU CAN CONSIDER YOUR POSITION IN THE CLAN QUEST CUT, AND CHASE SHALL RIP YOUR ASSES OFF. THOSE OF YOU WHO STEPPED DOWN FROM THE QUEST DO NOT COUNT, BUT THOSE WHO ARE LISTED STILL ARE THE ONES NEEDING TO BE WORRIED. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
*steps off podium voiceless*
Chase Raven - September 16, 2005 11:14 PM (GMT)
...You left out the part that I SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED in AIM.
Those expected to come:

Chase Raven - September 16, 2005 11:16 PM (GMT)
dots're for good. If you have a dot next to your name you're good. but I guess that means that I should get rid of SOME people's dots *coughReadH4X'spostcough* x_x;
flamingmonkey_92 - September 17, 2005 01:48 AM (GMT)
The quest may be over by October 1st it may not. If its not I am obviously not participating in the simulquest.
Jpec07 - September 17, 2005 02:17 AM (GMT)
Depending on what the situation is in main, how that quest is going, or if I even get in, I may or may not be coming with you guys (I can have on of my NPCs tag along, though, should you so desire it with all its sparse-postingness).
