Valoryn

I could lend a hand with this as well.

Valoryn

Activity: Daily, but mainly during the morning; my presence at other times during the day depends on how merciful Real Life decides to be.
 
Role: Guardian of the Root (current loyalty leader). Nothing more specific that's worth mentioning.

@Aeoshattr: At least, when you try to point fingers do it properly. A major factor that can determine how easy or difficult it is to take over an alliance is the leader's "loyalty"* and, in a lesser extent, whether said leader is on-line and fast enough to react during a take-over attempt. My own loyalty was still low and easy to surpass and I was absent during most of the day it all happened.
 
*I quote the word, because I don't consider actual loyalty to be something that can be measured.
 
 
@DD: You are correct that you have nothing to do with me. You went inactive long before I got the badge and remained inactive through most of my stay in the Guardians, so you don't know if I was just invited because of my charms (<== sarcasm), or I was watched, tested, tortured, beaten to death or whatever before I joined the Guardians. You also left the Guardians before I was put at the helm.
 
If I'm to take decision making lessons, I will gladly accept them but from people who have some skill in the area. To remind you, you were the one asking for your badge back, to change your mind only hours later, to ask for it again the next day, to decide against it once more a few further hours later. So, as a word of advice, next time you question other people's decision making abilities or other skills or lack thereof, look at your own hump first.
 
 
To the topic:
 
GotR may have practically appeared like nothing more than a nicely drawn badge next to my name, with all the benefits that come along with it, but it had an actual significance to me that's still hard to put properly in words: perhaps a bond bringing people together like Ary put it in his post or an extra layer on the bond between people and their land, perhaps even an alliance enhancing my own role in MD as well when speaking on a more personal level.
 
It's very easy to speak about recognition, good impression, showing of activity and other similar things and be eloquent, even poetic, about it as well. It takes a ton of effort behind the scenes, however, to get anything done from the simplest and most mundane thing to the biggest, most extraordinary, realm-wide event or whatever.
 
Personally speaking, I don't consider the leader's position as one of power or glory. It's more of one of responsibility, of endless hours of thankless work and the one that gets all the thrashing and beating when "nothing is happening" as far as an ordinary player is concerned.
 
I don't care about recognition, good impression, popularity, fame, glory and the like. I have done things quietly without advertising them, I still do things, I will keep doing things even if I remain shadowed till after I'm long gone from MD. What matters more to me is whether I like doing them or not, whether my free time (which is currently a luxury I rarely have) is put to good use or just wasted away.
 
Whether other people will pat me on the back or praise my work is nothing I would make a purpose in my life (I'm not unappreciative when it does happen; I just don't live for it) and I don't intend to put whatever effort I have made so far or may make in the future in the service of popularity or fame or in the name of making a good impression.
 
I don't like making promises about grandiose events to be had in the future or this and that kind of activities to be planned "soon" either, because there is always the danger of delivering an absolute nothing in the end lurking in the corner. There are ideas floating about (nothing concrete so far, I admit), but also a lot of mundane but important things that have to be done behind the scenes and will most likely remain unseen.
 
My availability is very limited and it's not expected to change for the better in the foreseeable future. So, any progress made from my part on the GotR revival will be slow and at irregular intervals. But the revival of an alliance isn't and shouldn't become a one-man's-show any way.
 
I also dislike writing walls of text such as this one, but some things needed to be made known publicly.
