The Priests Guild

I've stopped myself from posting this long enough, so that I didn't
upset the whole balance of the priest guild and the church, the point of
this post is to show the priests guild for what they really are, and the
church aswell. On one side you have the group of leaders, the people who
stick up for each other, make excuses, back each other up, even if it
includes lies and denying the truth, and on the other side you have the
real priests, who help people
and follow the ways of the Codex. I won't mention any names but there
has been alot of situations involving priests that were handled very
inappropriately and against the ways a priest should handle them
(according to the codex and the teachings of the priest).

Just a few examples to show what I mean, at one point, a novice priest
had been roaming around with a full priest and a dedicated ranked priest
trying to get a new explorer rank and were confronted by an aggresive
Mhun Bodyguard, but was not the first sightings of aggro Mhuns wandering
around, they both managed to survive until later when the novice was
wandering around alone and stumbled apon the same Mhun and was killed,
on the guild channel, his death was seen by a few that were on and one
person replied "Good" and then "Leave him".
This is hardly priest actions, there could be many reasons behind the
death of this novice by a mhun, they automatically presume he had
attacked the mhun first, not really fair for that poor novice that had
died.

Another situation where two people had been in a situation where they
were being robbed, the thief never got away with anything but the guild
did nothing at the plee of help from the victims, again, something that
is hardly the actions of priests. One last example in this post is of a
time where a priest had seen another priest die in the sewers, she
rushed to get down there and resurrected that priest, then
suddenlyanother priest had entered and yelled at her for resurrecting
her because that priest wanted to do it first, how is life a
competition? People wanting to resurrect others because they wanted
favours, glory and thanks for something, that's not what priests do,
priests do it to help others not themselves, but I guess people have
forgotten that over time, what have the priests turned into? And the
church aswell? All those beliefs in the codex? People swear by them when
they join and by the time they are GuildRank 3, they forget them...

Just like a few priests that had put me on probation, Sander and
Malabriand. The first time it was the all out PK event for the Year 350
event and a group of Mhaldorians were going around PKing innocent people
for no reason and because it was a PK event, they couldn't be stopped,
they were allowed to do this. They had attacked my bestfriend and I a
few times, so defending myself and my bestfriend, I killed the
attackers, no harm done, killing people that would take pleasure in
taking lives of others, following a rule of the codex, to slay the evil,
and I'd think killing someone without a reason is pretty evil. The group
of evil Mhaldorians were running around killing people, so a few guys
grouped together to try and stop them, they sat at NoT waiting for them,
the battles went on, people died and when the event was over, Sander
and Malabriand started yelling at me, accusing me of bloodthirsty
killing where I was firstly defending myself and my friends and secondly
killing the evil that is killing the innocent, also known as following
the rules of the codex, but Sander and Malabriand didn't see it like
that, they decided because they had power, they could use it and I was
put on probation and wasn't taken off for several years. There has been
many other situations of priests, paladins
and church members abusing power, I could go on to state alot of other
situations but I won't...
although not all of them are like this, not all of them dispose of thier
beliefs to help friends and cover up incidents, some are actually good
people who follow the codex, the real priests and paladins...

I wish to thank all the priests and paladins who do actually help people
that are in need, who resurrect people because they died, not because
they want glory from it...those who lend a hand to novices, not just to
get guildfavours and positions as Novice Aides, those are the real
church members, the type of people that should be the leaders, but hey,
I'm just a stupid priest who doesn't know anything, ask Ashakel, she'd
know, or Sander, or Malabriand, they think I'm just causing trouble, I'm
blind to what really happens, I may not know all of what happens but in
this post, I've stated what I've seen happen, the rest, is for others to
tell, or maybe the church can release a bunch of lies to cover up this
post, or maybe the gods can remove it either way I said my piece, it's
up to them if they want to hide the truth and live like that
forever...

I won't return to the realms much, except for visits, because what's the
use living amoungst dishonest people like these, there may be a good
bunch, but the bad bunch out scale them...So to all the non-hypocritical
priests and paladins out there, good job so far and don't turn into
Sander or Malabriand, the two biggest power abusing priests out there,
and there is no use replying to this, because I won't reply, so outguild
me if you want, but it's the truth it's been said, try to hide it will
only show more guilt.
