No... actually, I know exactly why people don't take my seriously. It's usually because I don't want to be taken seriously. I'm a big cynic.

Well, I don't particularly care what you think I'm full of. The fact of the matter is that Macheath assembled that high council through IC means. (And if you don't know what I'm talking about, well, tough beans. I was a Jullias follower.) I didn't e-mail Tureanthen and politely ask him to make anybody a High Councilman. When I decided to make Savryn the high priestess, I had no idea who she was played by. And that is God's honest truth.

Call it a freak coincidence. I like Gareth, so I decided to make a character that followed him once I found out that he had a religion. Beyond that, it was as much a coincidence as anything else.

I was on the receiving end of enough of Gareth's ass-whippings to know that the man had immense talent, and that to suggest otherwise is absolutely ridiculous. He had no respect for other players if they allowed themselves to be multikilled. That's a viewpoint quite a few people have; I don't agree with it, but I recognize it as a valid viewpoint.
In conclusion, screw off.
