Jaraxel of Water Deep

I am a bit saddened that I feel it necessary to defend a friend who has a genuinely large heart and who donates quite a bit of his time to the fostering of his guild and who cares about the people he invites.  Our front page states .. Not just a guild .. it's your home.  He means it.

There have been implications that Jaraxel is account sharing, and is in fact, many different characters. These allegations are being made for no apparent reason, other than to sow discord and suspicion into a new guild, which is at a particularly vulnerable juncture as people attempt to find new friends among their old buddies.  The reason for that is simple .. they want the higher level players to vacate the premises so their own guild can move forward with no restriction and have already shown that they have no hesitation at taking our members as well. At least, it would seem to me to be the base reason for the exchanges that have been received by our guild members.  These people have set themselves up as judge, jury and are selling advertising space for the execution if you're in the mood to buy.

Jaraxel is accused of being his brother Kingravage.  While Jaraxel's writing style is somewhat the same as his brother because they both share dyslexia, we can assure you that both accounts are different people.

Queenravage, Queenravage1, PrincessWarrior ... absolutely no clue on this one.  Jaraxel has never account sat that one.  It's possible his brother has.

Kiamatar - As most of you know, Kia's account was recently stripped of the character's gear by the aforementioned Queenravage1 and he was mad as hell and asked all of us to attack her.  Some of you did and subsequently received mail from her accusing you of sleeping with Kingravage - yes that was a pretty little drama, wasn't it?  Totally not Jaraxel's style .. or writing style.

Jaraxel does occasionally account sit - when players go on vacation, attend funerals, etc., when asked by the account holder to do so. And so that we're all clear on what the Terms say about account sitting and sharing, I'll reprint it here for you now:

§ 4 Multiaccounting / IP-Sharing / Account-Sitting

Each player is allowed to play and own only one account per server. Playing more than one account will lead to punitive action up to and including permanent ban of all involved accounts. An account must not be shared. Account-sharing - different players using one account alternately - is not allowed. Account-sitting (playing a second, already existing account temporarily) is only allowed if it ranges from 24 hours up to 21 days. Within this period of time, only the account-sitter (the account holder's substitute) is allowed to log in to the sat account. The sitting ends as soon as the account holder logs in to his or her account. Multiple swapping of the active player between account holder and sitter is regarded as account-sharing and will be punished.

In the course of sitting, battles between the sitter's and the account holder's characters are forbidden as well as cooperative attacks of others. Any infringement will be treated as account-sharing. An account is sat at the account holder's risk. The operator is not liable for changes, loss or the deletion of the account.

Moreover, it is not allowed to play with the same IP in order to benefit one or multiple accounts. Such behavior is called IP-sharing. Accounts with a shared IP must not attack each other or attack other accounts together (more than two attacks within 30 minutes).  Infringement will lead to punitive action up to and including a ban or account deletion.

Many of you have asked Jaraxel to look after things while you were away and he's done so.  He has a wide connection of friends within the Shakes & Fidget community and is occasionally asked by others to look after their accounts as well .. he does a good job - he's conscientious.

What I'm really trying to say here is that efforts to bring about the downfall of a burgeoning guild based solely on circumstantial evidence whispered through the mail system where the recipient is asked to not repeat the secret .. these are the hallmarks of a bully.  Don't let it sway you .. if you have questions, please ask Jaraxel outright .. he'll tell you who's account he's sat .. or is sitting. You can do what I'm doing with those mails.  Hitting delete so they don't waste space in my mailbox.
