Man, all this stuff couldn't have happened on a worse week for me, Easter prep is killing me. I haven't been able to spend much time on the forums, so I'm a little out of the loop. All I know is when I got to work there were 14 PM's in my inbox since last night. I've got about 10 mins to type this before my next meeting, so this will be short and to the point.
Mordos is a good friend of mine, one of my better friends in-game. We talk on the phone at least once a week while he walks home for lunch! Mordos and I have been through a lot, good times, and really hard times. I came to Mordos Sunday night because we needed to have a potentially tough conversation, and I'm not going to reveal any more info than that because it was a personal conversation, it would be completely inappropriate of me to do so.
I trust Mordos more than just about anyone else in the guild to take his questions to the Lord and trust his leading, and that's exactly what I asked him to do. I never asked Mordos to step down. To the contrary, I told him I would be here to support him whatever he decided. I wasn't on during the OS raid on Monday, but my understanding is that Mordos asked Jad to demote him. Soon after Chalice whispered him and asked for him to demote her too. I don't want to speak for Chalice, but she felt like she would have a tough time continuing to lead without him in the lead position, and I respect her wishes.
I haven't spent much time online in the past two days, so I'm not sure what is up with the demotions from rank and forum access, and I would ask for your patience while we sort things out.
I had really hoped this would have played out with a less drama, so my apologies for anything I could have done differently to minimize the problem. If you have any other issues, I'll be online tonight to field questions.
