KoA is a great community and it's always sad when someone leaves for whatever reason. I am sorry I didn't get to know Poppy better, and I just want to thank her for all the time and energy she spent on KoA, and wish her well wherever life takes her next.

Similar to what I said in a different topic/post...everybody, even admins, are human and can make mistakes/not act in the best interest of the clan. Am I saying that's what happened - no. Am I saying that somebody may be suited for a clan ranked position, then later be deemed unsuited for it - yes.
Take me for example. I was on the event's team for a short while. Not long after joining I realized I wouldn't be able to contribute to the extent required so was going to step down, but was convinced to do otherwise. Several months after that I was asked to step down and did. I didn't take it personally and still am enjoying the time I can spend in KoA, when I have the time for RS. It's not hard to stay if you admit you were doing something improperly, but much harder to stay if you can't reconcile with the actions taken.

Please don't use single lines of scripture out of context to make a point. Re-read Galations 6:6 - 6:8 and think about what the scripture is talking about. It is not talking about using God's name in vain.

Just my $0.02.

Who said Anything about that. If you read it it Says God will be Not Mocked. the teaching is about mans Fleash. So God Is saying what the fleash does . The single Line Is saying What u Sow So Shall you reap. So if You So Seed, You Get fruit. If You So strife. You Get evil that is the Point. And Dave we Have to talk some time :)

oh for god sake
Problem trix? This is not a post to cause drama, this is a post with my opinion
It is exactly that, your OPINION. This is not what deep said, you are misconstruing a good faith transparency post made by deep into words that were never mentioned liked "asked to step down" and "forced". Does "drama free" hold any meaning to you? It's deliberate misrepresentation of Transparent information like this that causes most of the "drama" in our otherwise happy little society. You have been in KoA longer then me & as an adult should know this better then I do... What the hell man?

P.S. On the Real Topic, I will miss you Poppy & hope we stay in touch for a long-long time. You are the very nature of what RuneScape would be like in a perfect society. @};-

Sad to see you go Poppy =(
Sometimes making a clean break from a situation is for the best.
I am very sure, however, you will be missed

That is where we differ, I interpret it as to teaching about faith and works (helping and doing good to others in the context of faith). Using the "sow" portion of the scripture, I read it as 'if you sow in the flesh, your crop is of the flesh. If you sow in the spirit, the crop is everlasting life.'

Anyhow...this is very much off topic, so I'm done.

Hi Dave,

Oob was invited to the meeting where Deep, Poppy and I spoke together. He was unavailable due to real life commitments for a few days but was aware of the nature of the discussion that was to take place. However, he understands and supports the outcome of that discussion.

Oob OK'd this response.

I trust the Admin is working hard and must sometimes make difficult decisions.

Thank you, Poppy for all your hard work! And best wishes in RS as well as real life!

Thanks for making it crystal clear. That's pretty much what I thought occurred, just wanted to make sure what I was reading between the lines was the right information (and it was). :)
