I am still an "immigrant," but I am also a "citizen." The only thing I cannot do that a person born here can, is be President. There have been immigrants in America of all walks of life, including U.S. Senators and Supreme Court Justices. Actually, the only people in America who do not have their roots in immigration are the American Indians. Even the high-power WASP establishment traces their roots to the Mayflower ship, which brought the first immigrants to the United States. Subsequent groups, including the Germans, Eastern European Jews, and Irish, were mistreated in America when they came, but within a couple generations they all blended in seamlessly.
So, I do not know about your knowledge about other things, and I will not speak of that, but your understanding of "immigration" as pertains to the States does not seem to be very good. Immigrants are true Americans because every American is an immigrant. If you don't understand that, you are either uneducated and ignorant, or narrow-minded and ignorant. As far as Mardia for the Mardians, if you people exclude other people because they bought a LEGIT 25k world transfer, you are excluding people for reasons other than them being not legit.

This list is for the true players of Mardia who never get the respect they deserve because all these immigrants, hackers, botters and magicians are ensconcing them.
I am not "butthurt," because I am in the best guild in Khaini and I am pretty well respected by the high-lvl establishment of that server. You are the one who should be getting "butthurt," because
I am not just a Bishop, I am an IMMIGRANT bishop, in other words, everything that your thread tries to exclude. I was in Khaini since Dec 06, made this bishop in Yollande during their 4x event, and Xferred back to Khaini. I was #20 in Yollande when I left, but the way the high lvls treated each other there was BAD, so I went where I would be treated GOOD, despite the fact that it meant a large loss of rank. Which is the basic reason for immigration for anyone, in Maple or for real.
If you really hate mages that much, I have to wonder how many of your "true legits" got to their levels without Holy Symbol; and how Mardia handles Zakum and Horntail without Bishop party skills. Last I heard, partying with an "illegit" on a regular basis called your own legit status in question.

Unless I am trolling or flaming you, I can post where ever I want. If you're going to hold beliefs, you need to respond to valid criticisms thereof. My initial post in this thread was mildly provocative simply because I seriously could not believe anyone could actually make such drivel and call it "legit" and "official." As far as my 2 subsequent responses go, you cannot get me warned for them. I am not "Mardian" therefore I have no say in your forum? Make that case to the mods. Take a look at previous responses, there are people who say the same things as I am saying, but of course they count because they're in your server and I am not. Do you have any idea how ignorant you sound?
You've pretty much summed up daily life in Mardia, where people like Luke & Pavel are a vocal minority. They enjoy the delusion that thier opinions matter, but at the end of the day who doesn't?
Just nod and ignore, cause you're ultimately right - it's not worth arguing. He wants to believe what he wants to believe. No loss to you, because people will either agree with him, or not.
