The evidence in the Axiom Guild would be enough to at least bring him to trial, if not to find him guilty.
In what way? What evidence?

As Guild Head I have the ultimate authority to keep it open or close it, just because you are pissed off and don't like it does not your decisions any credibility.
Did you just go there? There's no law saying that at all, Joshua.

This was your post in Axiom prior to closing it:

I came back to Equinox thinking I could restart Axiom and bring us back from the brink and it looks like the opposite has happened. I know for me it was partly due to not being all that into Equinox anymore. What I loved about Equinox is not really here anymore and I think that hurt my motivation. And it looks like I am not alone in that feeling.

It has been a great ride for us. We've been around for over 2 years, and that is pretty amazing. When I came to Equinox back in August 2008 and founded our Guild I never dreamed we would have done what we did or have been around for so long.

As some of you may know, I founded a region called Crusaders of Justice a while back and never really creamed of doing much with that other then using it to store puppets. But, it has taken on a life of its own the last few weeks. We have a government, a charter and a great forum. And we are recruiting for the region.

If you want a home other then Equinox then you are more then welcome to join us in Crusaders of Justice.


It is sad to see Axiom shutting down, but I think it is best to leave things while we have some dignity left.

It's been a pleasure working with you all over the years and getting to know you. We've had some good times and great chats with one another.

Cheers!


That's actually punishable under law in a lot of regions. Europeia it would actually get you banned on sight.

Is there a law stating that a Guild Head cannot shut a guild down? Is there a law stating that a Guild Head needs any approval to shut down a guild? If so, please post the text. My understanding is that Guilds were largely governed by their respective charters and membership.

I didn't do this unilaterally and it was discussed. Go throw your little temper tantrum elsewhere.

That was the official declaration, but as stated it was discussed privately.

You're getting defensive now. You can't do something just because there isn't a law saying you can't. By your logic, a member of the Jethnea guild could shut down the Axiom guild. If anyone has de facto control over the opening/closing of a guild, it would be the founder of the guild -- which technically happens to be me.

Nope. Not happening. The Senate will be calling everyone who has anything to do with this to testify before it. Until then, no action is taking place. Admins, restore Joshua's title and HoF status.

This is Equinox, not the Soviet Union. We'll do this in a civilized manner.
Falc, where did you move Joshua's HoF thread to? I see that you moved it, but it doesn't tell me where. I'm on my lunch break, and I don't want to search endlessly for it.

Joshua has been remasked.

Bull. Prove to me that majority of the guild wanted it closed.

I may be getting defensive, but you have been inactive for ages and then watlz in here and take unilateral action in regards to my citizenship and hall of fame status. You ingored the government, senate and cabinet. This is not the first time you have done things in a brash and emotional manner without consulting the region beforehand.

Wow, that's kind of hypocritical, don't you think?

Forum archives or EQ archives in the Solstice College? And if you know where it is, can you PLEASE move it back as Hadi, our Chancellor, has requested? -_-

Not really. There are no laws stating that the region needed to be consulted in the closing down of a guild and the same goes for the founder. Jethnea to my knowledge never consulted the region about closing down.
