Actually, the truth is that I came to H&H with absolutely no clue what SA or goons are. Yes I've been gaming for years and never met any. Artemis, the guy who found me at the old RoB and showed me the ropes of fishing and teapot grinding at the claypit became the guy I started innsmouth with. He said we were 'goon friendly'. Tbh, I have no idea why. He quit before I could ask him. I actually never paid the racket. I bought a lot of metal from delamore for bricks and also paid him some of those bricks to kill a bitch who griefed me. He spun it up as if I paid the racket and I didn't argue. I wasn't out to make enemies. As time went on and I realized his 'protection racket' was actually an extortion racket I became enchanted by a certain melodramatic prose and secretly joined Xanadu.
I should add that that was probably the biggest mistake of my H&H career. I should have stayed with Innsmouth and kept my nose out of politics. And I would have been able to do that had he not hacked the forums. In an effort to protect innsmouth I sold him some minor pieces of intel on Xanadu so that he would not retaliate upon the players that had come to rely on me to lead them despite the fact that this game offered me no method to actually protect them.
For that fact I blamed Jorb and felt no guilt about selling him out to protect my constituents. My acts may have been viewed as cowardice but they were not in fact selfish. I faked quitting to further attempt to disenchant anyone interested in the wealth Innsmoth had accrued. After about three weeks it was too obvious to the people that mattered that I had not in fact quit so there was no use masquerading on IRC.
Sometime in my involvement with Xanadu Warri pissed Jorb off and I tried to help him several times in several different ways to benefit from access to Blaze's jewelry crafting ability. Some time later he mistook something I said as a threat against his silver mine which it was, in fact, not. Between him and a nub that attempted to grief a business partner of mine they rallied waynesville against me and Innsmouth.
This has led to my series of evaluations on the combat system and character development. My disenchantment witht he game in general. ANd yes, I stil play from time to time, but mostly I just fuck around on IRC and forums trolling kids like you and trying to explain to J&L with thirty paragraphs of explanation what the J-Bomb managed to write in two sentences (albiet he left out the 'why and how' that I tried so vainly to explain).
And that's the dish on my H&H drama.
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
