It's a shame how many people have left Faceless (either publicly or quietly) over politics after being dogpiled by the Commie Crew seen above. I'll say this, most of the conservative people in the guild (and there are a lot) keep it to themselves and don't even bother talking about it in channels. I think it was Jerry Seinfeld who said something to the effect of "if you want to know who in Hollywood is conservative, look at who doesn't talk about politics". Maybe it wasn't Jerry. I dunno, but it's a true statement in any case.
I'm historically left-leaning but not since 2020 for some legitimate reasons (BLM smashed a hospital and destroyed a bunch of historical sites where I live, for starters, and our high-profile congressperson proceeded to encourage them and kiss their ass). For starters, tip of the iceberg really. Doesn't mean I agree with everything the right says, I just have a powerful disdain for the left and their "violence is okay when we do it" bullshit that looks insane if you're outside of their bubble. I worked for two Democrat presidential campaigns in the recent past and they were a lot saner then.
It isn't even worth discussing in-guild because I like folks like Sieger and getting into arguments is pointless. Nobody's gonna change anybody's mind about anything in 2025, everybody's hard-headed AF and picking sides is a hell of a drug. Fact is, in politics it's been a bit of a "race to the bottom" for a while now, and as far as I'm concerned both sides have legitimate grievances. It's kind of barking up the wrong tree to tell anyone that their grievances are less legitimate than yours.
Still not going to find a better guild than Faceless in EQ, IMO. It's well-run and it's a guild where you can get substantially better at your class (and the game in general) with even a modicum of effort, just by osmosis. We have people like Sazzabi and Jadawin who elevate the players around them with their metacrafting, and I've sure as hell learned a lot more about SK and Monk (my two main classes, historically) just from having those guys around. Lots of other good players there as well, and most importantly, the guild respects each other's time. If I was going to play EQ full-time there's nobody else I'd rather be running with.
