Hi all! This is Bel here, and this is my first post here~
First of all, I want to thank winst, houjun, superemevan (omokingbird) and so many others for creating and maintaining this blog! I love you guys! :D
Well, I shall share a little story on how this guild was created... and the history between us and Vongola (Guild).
It is only right to share this with everyone, and to clear one of the biggest questions involving the guild: Why do we have strained relations with Vongola?
A long time ago, (okay, a few months back) we were members of Vongola, a strong, active guild consisting of 100 members... We had many beautiful memories of the time we spent there, but alas, there was also much fear and resentment of our guild master then, FreedomWay (aka XiaoKnightXD). He had an unpleasant behavior at times, demanding and vulgar, and also (maybe) has a split personality... but all in all, we had fun, even with him.
Then came a day where I decided to leave Vongola to create my own guild. I informed most of the guild members that i was leaving on the Sunday that week, after hosting what was to be my last GPQ for Vongola.
But we never saw that Sunday. 4 days before my intended leave, FreedomWay so called "got hacked" (with no notable valuables missing) and expelled everyone out of the guild.
Since I already planned to leave the guild, I decided not to go back to Vongola and create the guild on that very day, 1st of July, when Guardians was born from Vongola members past. My 5 beloved friends who created the guild with me, were:
IzAnagi4492
o0VampireX0o
iFaithx33
EvanCookie
9xinnz9 (was not in Vongola)
We then began recruiting ex Vongola members that did not see the mega of re-recruitment by FreedomWay as well as members that were expelled in Vongola and refused to return. However, we stressed, that they are free to choose whatever Guild they wished to return to, and eventually the guild grew as new members were recruited as well as veterans from Vongola past. I stress this point now, that Guardians is created with an entirely different ideology from Vongola. We work together, through mutual trust and respect for others, a guild free of troubles, a guild filled with joy and love. =)
However, FreedomWay was furious when he heard what we did. He threaten to KS every member of Guardians and constantly flamed us, especially iFaithx33, through his childish megas and such. His guild then became a shadow of its former self, with a community consisting of less than 30, with an ever growing lust for making our lives as miserable as possible.
He mega'ed us no less than 5 times as a Guild, excluding personal attacks. I understand his pain of losing most of his guild, but is this justifiable? Is this mature? I don't think so. I would be attaching a picture later depicting one of his attacks. We responded by declaring FFA on him and him alone after the final straw, and he hid everytime, maintaining his arrogance and threats. As we travel through the passage of time, his attacks lessened and he became eccentric, one with random outbursts, trolling and harassing.
With that, this brings us to the end of our history. But what u have heard are just the bones of this conflict, only those who have walked our path would know the anger we held, the happiness that we shared as a guild, whether Vongola or Guardians. Having a guild is a beautiful thing in a game like MapleStory, and I am truly blessed to have such loving guild mates of all personalities, most of which pleasant and adorable! I lived through not as a guild master of Guardians, but as a member of this wonderful guild; Guardians.
Everyone plays a part in a guild, ranks does not matter, what matters most is to have fun. Friendship is an amazing thing, intangible and beautiful. And that ends my long (and maybe boring) post...
As time passes, everyone of us will gradually leave maple, but I hope our friendship would carry on beyond the boundaries of MapleStory.
Cya soon! Rock on,
Ryan (aka Bel)
