Hello everyone from Argonath.
I'm doing this poll because most of you know me directly. I'd appreciate it if you could spend the time to write a message explaining why you would like it and if you could vote. I'm looking for over 100 interested people.
Argonath has always been a place close to my heart. Like a family where everyone can belong. This letter will be a chance for me to give something back to the community. I realise most of you will probably think we'll why don't you just post it? The reason is because it is going to be in excess of 10000 words. I also want your views so I can Taylor it. The poll will run for a minimum of a week up to the maximum of a month. If I get many people from the administration coming forward I may create it more admin based with (depending on what I include) references to my experiences in leading the community.
I'd appreciate if you write a fair reason. If I see trolling or disrespect then you can consider this letter cancelled. It's purely a gift to those who want to receive it.
Big thanks to all. I will read your comments when I can.
Love to all of you in 2015.
<3 Dell

Drop by IVMP sir, we do miss you.
Im the mean time much love :)
-
Leading? Who stole my popcorn.
-
Don't let the trolls stop you, Delly, everybody can do what they want in Argonath, yes. Like me, for example, I have no MTA:SA leader rank here, but I lead MTA:SA. Like you, for example, you have a community rank but don't lead anything.
Or are you advertising some other community? If that's the case, I must inform you that advertising other communities is forbidden.
Big love 2015
Many <3
-
Well... :cowboy:
-
Ofcource, Yes! Awaiting for the motivation! ;)
-
I would like to see, It can serve as a motivation to new players to follow rules and stay in the community and also for the older players to have motivation to continue playing and helping the community and it also let us see what you are thinking off. :D
All the best Dell <3

You shouldn't need the approval of the community to do something like this, if you want to do it feel free to go ahead and write us a letter with your experiences as a leader and a player. But why you insist on having community backing for something you are doing on your own free will is beyond me. Do something because you want to do it from the heart, if people like it they'll read it. If they don't you won't read it, that simple, you shouldn't have to ask for approval to do something that some people may or may not read.
-
Depends on the content, man, if you have something useful to say, there's no reason not to. I personally would like to read.
-
Why do you need permission to write a letter?
I find this to be trolling for attention.

OH MY GAWD, DELLSTORM <3333333333333

White Collar!
-
Well Dell, you are indeed one of the well known members here :)
I suggest you, if YOU want to write something, please do so... Why? Because sometimes it just feel good to do it...
Don't expect 10% is going to read it, be happy when some has spotted your letter, but once again, it is for YOU. I say YES! Go with the flow and do your thing mate!!
Go get them tiger!
-
The reason is because it is going to be in excess of 10000 words.
Who's going to read 10.000 words? Just come to the point.
This letter will be a chance for me to give something back to the community.
I don't see how. Get RS5 finished.
-
Remember to give IV:MP it's real share, budd.
-
If you want to do it do it. you should not have asked the community for a acceptance.. It's your own choice!

It's Saturday morning around 9:07 British time. Here's been a many voters. Thank you for this but we still haven't reached our goal of 100 yet. But for those who have voted I would like to add an extra word for you.
Since thinking about this letter and how to best write it which was over a few weeks ago I had a clear mind set. For me I felt it was important to use what I have to help people.
It's interesting to see the messages, everyone's comments and the forum PMsbyou have given. This is really one dynamic community. You all have great spirits. That means you can do anything you set your mind to. It's not hard to see that many of you will go far in life if you do what you love.
You won't get on with everyone. Everyone won't like your company. Some may look down on you because of where they are in there. Know that they cannot change how you think of yourself. Think yourself of an honest, truthful person with integrity then that is the person you will be. We all aren't perfect but then no one is. Those of you that know me best will understand on how to take action on what I am saying.
I look forward to the extra votes and comments, whether they be good or bad what's important to me is that I read them. Make feedback on them and learn from them.
This is no attempt at deceiving, abusing my rights or trolling. It is meant for those who are truly interested in reading something inspirational for themselves. Remember it's not where you have been in the past. You can't change what has happened and you shouldn't try because the past will fight against you. I haven't changed from the person I was in the past but I have listened to myself and learnt from those experiences to make me that little bit older and given me the ability to adapt and change what I do in my future. Remember it's not where you've been brought up or what situation you've come from. It's where you're going that matters.
You can choose to listen and learn or you can choose to hate and be disrespectful. The choice is yours but don't judge everyone on the same set of values as yourself. Everyone is different and deserves some respect. Be that the banned, be that the lazy or the dishonest. That's what I have always done. I don't get to be liked by most on Argo for being anyone else other than myself. If you have doubts, talk about them. Discuss them. Be open to who you are and what people have to say.
Thanks for listening friends of Argo. I look forward to the comments and your votes. Thank you to those who have already given a comment be it good or bad it's still a contribution in my eyes. A contribution worthy of my time.
<3 Dell
-
I have an extra question for those interested. Would you prefer I be more truthful and talk about myself so you know more of me or would you prefer I give you tools that you can use to have a better future? Let me know below.
<3 Dell.
-
I prefer you be truthful. Really really truthful. Like REALLY truthful.
-
Remember to give IV:MP it's real share, budd.
Amen :janek:
-
Seeing it's so important for you to write that letter, Dell, I wonder if you know that no more than 1 out of 15 people who vote will value it as much as you do. I am well aware of the feeling of sharing to help others and do something more than the typical people do, which is following the routine without changing anything in their lives, and trust me I have opened myself several times but what I got back is not what I expected.
However I'm not against doing it again, if you really want to do it then just do it. Asking people with zero inspiration if they want to see something inspirational is pointless, so there are just so few people who will be glad to read something like that. And about the practical part, you have sent me a message some weeks or months ago which really helped me, and if you remember you didn't ask me if I want you to send it. ;)
If you want to do it to help, then keep in mind that not many people who post 2 clapping hands will really value it. Don't think that if you reach 100 votes, 100 people will value it.
-
Time is around 10:07 British standard time.
I thank you again for the comments and the votes. We still need more though. Sometimes when you're in a bad state you will often feel like giving up. It is by persisting and getting through something that you grow inside.
Many people will often have moments like this throughout the day or throughout the week where they feel like doing very little. It is this time when you need to change your outlook to something different. Remember that those who do nothing to help themselves eventually never get anywhere. It is only by doing the right thing whether you feel like it or not that you get to a stage of betterment.
I want this message to go across Argo because I believe it needs to. Its important for me to stress the power of your self. That you can do anything you want to. Anything you believe in passionately enough. Anything you want as long as you make the sacrifice for it. Be it the place in college which means you spend more time on your revision for the important courses that will get you places where you want to go. Whether that means skills that you need to learn in order to get the better job. Whether that's learning by others around you to get to to the moderator position you've applied for. Whatever you choose to do in your life its all there for you to do.
You should know that it's never easy. It always costs twice as much resources (time/money) and its always more difficult than when you first set out. But keep with it until the job is done no matter how hard it is, it doesn't change through age. We get wiser but the difficulties of life always come to us. It is how we deal with these difficulties that makes us the person who we truly are. Be strong Argo and make your day something worthwhile.
My love carries on strong with you.
Enjoy the Song.
<3 Dell.
Here I give you something you can all take with you.

You are the kind of guy that inspires people, and it would help many to have a message like that in here. Being truthful is the only,way. You helped me lately, so it will be great for you to create something like this. Why do i get the feeling that you have it ready already?

The time is 9.34PM Australian time, I think you're a joke mate.

Hes no joke, he gives the best advice on Argonath. helped me out many times
-
I cannot find a reason to be negative against this. Don't judge without having a personal talk to see what Dell is trying to do.
-
DellStorm is a poet head , fueled with moral consciences :bananarock: so yes, we would really like a stupendous letter of inspiration :balance:

/yo

As I'm now one of the older players who prefers to read stories and reminisce of the "good old days" rather than actually play, and since Dellstorm you are one of the few players I actually like... I'd love to read it!
-
We go way back DellStorm. I mostly got to know you in during our times in TCL. I would love to read a letter by you my friend (: . You have my full support and attention.
-
Dell...I would love to read your story. Be as truthful as you can, but at the same time give us some tools we can use in our futures. Yes, the advice may not be applicable in today's world, but I'm sure it will help plenty in the future. You have helped strive the community (and me) throughout the time you have been here. I know I have only seen just a little bit of it, and I know you are capable of much more. When I heard word that you were leaving the community a while back I didn't know where to turn for advice. You have (almost) always been here for the Argonath Community and I believe you have inspired so many already that you don't need to write a letter of inspiration. But be what it may the outcome of this poll may be, you will always carry on, inspiring others. Don't let those haters hate. Inspiration is what has lead this community and you can push it further, but it's not up to us to make that change, but the person who has the inspiration to give. With this said, good luck writing your letter. I look forward to hearing it.
By the way, Please don't leave out IV:MP. Even though it's a small community there, it's not only mine, but it's ours and that is where we met and where my adventure began.
With Due Regards,
Leroy <3
-
/yo.... Wow.... I logged in after several months just to help hundreds of other Argonathians convince you to write that letter Dell :DD <3
I seriously can not wait man! Without people like you, CBF, JDC and Jack S. (SugarD) this community wouldn't be where it is now! Please do tell us about your Argonath adventure in detail. 10000 words? To heck with that gosh darn it, write a friggin novel! ((: You are the dankest.

I agree with the above posts.
With the utmost respect... you should avoid threads like this.
If your letter is intended to exceed 10,000 words...
You can expect "TLDR".
If you're capable of getting a message or a lesson through in under 5 words, then that's more motivational than something I'd have to invest time in which wasn't worth it.
It seems you're the one who's looking for motivation...
What we need is stability. That's all.
Kind regards,
Monte.
-
You don't need to make a poll just to see if people want a letter of inspiration, just do it, and if people don't like it, they don't like it.
-
Go ahead Dell ! :rage:
-
Good morning Argo.
Again I thank everyone for their messages and especially the votes. We are nearly there with 78/100. The letter has took on a slightly different tune. It's been extended to get as much in as I could. It is to the point and honest. I have asked a few people to read through it for me. That is to say the letter is nearly complete. It won't be published though until we get our goal.
I have a question which is about delivery. I can do this in two ways. The first way would be a letter which is now in excess of 17000 words. I can give you the letter which would be a long read or I can create a YouTube video where I give you a face to face conversation with me reading the letter. They are both going to take time no matter which one you choose. If you can give me your comments I would appreciate it. Thank you for all your comments. Again good or bad what's important is that I read them.
-
Motivating Letters that are small, always make me, rethink about things, but not much. A big letter like that, puting myself to read a letter that exceeds 17000 words, will sure make me be more serious about what i will read. I will go for the letter.. A video wouldn't be enough.
And good luck <3
-
I don't doubt of word's importance but via video you surely will do facial expressions that might give the letter emphasis. Just an opinion!

There's nothing wronger than what you just said. It's like you're saying that it's more motivational to read the title than opening the book and reading inside. I really hope there aren't any people who voted negative with your logic.
If you are unable to read and understand, you simply don't read. The 5 words can be a quote, the 10,000 words can be the meaning of it. Think about the above. ;)
Dell, I suggest you make the video and put the words below as well. It will be much more understandable and interesting. Good luck.
-
I'm curious! Go ahead Dellycious!
-
Both ?
-
While l do respect your position in the community I still think you are an overrated self glorified attention whore. Why create a topic like this when your going to write your letter anyways. And you know fully your letter would of gotten enough attention without this whole scheme.

Useless reply...

Agreed. Overated,

Agreed Tevin, people lick your ass all day long, probably because you throw out paydays and lottos.
If you want to change the community, log in more times and stop acting childish.
-
How exactly is he acting childish?
People please, if this thing does not interest you, simply vote negative and leave. Stop being little pricks, you guys seriously do not like a simple discussion, it's getting really annoying.
-
We all have right to our opinions.

We all have right to our opinions.
And so does he. If he wants to get some feedback about something, he has full rights to do so.

Write a report into why you're good for Argonath as a Community Leader. We'd all benefit more from it than a science fiction novel which could be best described as something you'd expect from Kim Jong Un's era of North Korea.
Glorification of a single person instead of recognition of his acts is just plain ludicrous.
It'd be more inspirational to actually do something for the community which is currently depressing, especially with such threads as these!
This sort of attention is not at all appropriate.
Get it over and done with.
And so does he. If he wants to get some feedback about something, he has full rights to do so.
He is in receipt of his feedback.
There are two types of people in the world.
Those who are straight forward and look to get things done, and those who paint an egg and tell you if you stare at it long enough the Easter bunny will appear.
We would all love to see things improve, but a 10,000 long piece of science fiction will not accomplish much when it can not inspire or change the minds of certain people who may need to step back and think of the greater good.
Take for example the many removal of players who have done good and ultimately they were removed because someone did not like an idea, not because the people had a choice in it. This piece of science fiction will not accomplish much other than controversy, especially when it does not exist in our presence.
-
And so does he. If he wants to get some feedback about something, he has full rights to do so.
Then expect negative comments.
I, we, have the right to post here and give our opinion. DellStorm got asslicked by half of the community, now there are finally people who give their honest opinion. Even managers.

Sure he can accept negative comments but not disrespectful attitude. And btw its not called asslicking, its called having respect for one's work but whatever. I am pretty sure even those "managers" asslicked (as you would call it) Dellstrom.

Correct your tone.

Please compile a novel of what Dellstorm has done for us whilst community leader, or in general.
This would make for some interesting reading.
He seems like an enigma to me entirely.
I could name two Community Leaders who I feel have done what is expected of their position and what is right.
CBFasi, and Boromir have both accomplished, despite personal flaws or lessons, things that are are productive and have had lasting effect.
Gimli is a scripter, but I have yet to see appropriate leadership qualities in him.
Dellstorm has but said sweet words, which are needed but sometimes actual tangible (tangible in a virtual community ikr) lasting effect is more effective.

If you were right, it would imply Dell has hired managers. One does not hire HQ members whilst inactive. :cowboy:

I bet you remember the days when DellStorm joined the server and everyone went beserk because they expected him to give out another 5k payday or another 666k lotto. That is asslicking, attention seeking or blindy following.
I don't respect the guy for his current position he's in. Asking permission from players to post a TLDR topic is unnecessary with such a high position in the community.
Tell me what work he did in RS5, because all I can remember is nothing. He may have done good work in RS4, but its no more. Move on.

He can get help from everyone of Dellstorms supporters, including Dellstorm himself.
*looks at wrist watch*
Community Leader Dellstorm, with the utmost respect to your title, please can you respond to the topic and address the concerns raised, to just ignore them is tyranny against the people.
-
Just post what ever your opinion is no need to argue who is right/wrong , sure saying what you mean in a blunt but head on way, might seen insulting or disrespectful, if dell finds its hurt in any way buy that comment he can use /report like we all do when we feel insulted.
You have forgotten that Argo was made so that we are all equal, and we all are equal, i dont look at any other player like a better or worse person then me i look at them as my equals.
What they do/write is what makes them different not the rank or flashy achievements for old accounts .
You keep forgetting ranks do not earn respect on there own, when i first started playing i didnt know who was what rank or why, still slowly i got to meet people and they all earned my respect for some actions/decisions/RP or just were very good people to have a conversation with.
Dell was the player who helped my family the Lucchese, we hit a rough spot soon after we made the family and in our quest to improve, we talked to many different players/managers/mods/admins from different Argo servers, Dell earned my respect because he was there when we (players) needed him, he gave us advice's and pointed us in the direction we are even today after 1.2year in Argo, that's the only reason i will support Dells 17000 words story even tho i i'm in a tight spot with time and 17000 words are a huge amount to read, let alone understand.

My eyes hurt...
I'm going to go grab an aspirin and make an appointment with the opticians.

You turned another topic into a shithole, congratulations. The popcorn thing isn't funny by the way, we can see how thirsty everyone is to be proven better, meanwhile do something to contribue just like Dellstorm is doing. If it's about criticism, look in a mirror and let others do what they find right to do.
-
the freedom to criticize HQ members and other officials is necessary for a vibrant democracy. the problem comes when healthy criticism is replaced with rather more destructive intimidation and sanctions.
dear dellstorm, the final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment. peace my brother

Glad to know we have Community Leaders who can contribute so much.

First off, I have a life which to me seems like some of you may not have. I don't have enough time to waste on a GAME. Chill the fuck out, it's just a game not something that's gonna earn you something in real life.
I would just like to say that i highly appreciate Dell's contribution towards the community and no I am not talking about the paydays or lottos he has made, I am talking about how he has helped tremendous amounts of players(I am one of them) at the time they needed him or anyone else who could've helped. There are many players who actually stayed in this community because of him. He had a positive attitude all the time, unlike some of the staff members nowadays.

With 97 votes out of 100 I am going to publish a small message so you can choose whether or not to continue from this point forward:
Consider it what you will, but know that it is honest.
I don't get paid to be on Argonath. I have three paying full time jobs. I have places I need to go and things I need I do. Argonath is not the priority for me that it was once was. It was my choice to write the letter but it was not solely my choice to publish it. I wanted 100 people to want to read it so I knew it would be worth my time and effort. Don't think about what is happening now. I understand the situation but you can understand my predicament. I have people on the one hand who want my support. I have others that criticise for what I have or have not done. Do not challenge me for what benefits you do not see only look at what I do. I am not wasting away my life like others are. I am a person who is dedicated and passionate about what they do with their time. Some people will not read it all. Some people won't read half that is not the point. The point is that with the time I give to Argonath, that it mean something. If that means out of the 100 people who requested the letter that 20 percent read it and that it enhances their lives then that's 20 people who will be better for what I have wrote. If not then I doubt it would make a huge difference but I consider it a contribution none the less. I could have left, I could have done even less but I have asked myself this question. Is the community better off having me or not having me? I have asked people the same and they all say the same that having me is better than not having me at all. I am sorry that you see the other leaders are struggling. That the rest of the community is having trouble. I for one have not been informed about the trouble makers. I have recently noticed how little other members have told me about the community and what is going on. Instead I see complaining, they complain, as you have seen on the comments listed in the post about what is going on and what is not going on. There's little that can be done if people do not have the decency to coorporate with their leaders. This has been an issue, I had throughout this week been more active and spoke openly to the rest of the team about it. I now am not ignoring what is going on. I only wish you can understand what I am trying to do. I am not seeking to get attention. It is not my fault that many people have chosen to look at the post and reply. I have asked for 100 people. That's not many out of Argonath. I did not ask for the mountain of comments and PMs. I said I would appreciate them but it was everyones choice whether to reply or not. Simply said, if people didn't want it, they could have ignored the post all together. Instead we are in a situation where many people want it. So that is what I am giving them. I am sorry that you feel that way but I am not going to change for the time spent on here (2009 - 2015 do the maths) is not worth it when I am getting paid 30 euros an hour on the rest of the jobs I do. I do believe in charity this is it. If that's not good enough don't complain. That's all I can put into it. If I got paid then I would see the situation differently. I don't. Whether you are in the administration at moderator level or higher you will know that it is a job. You have a responsibility to check things, to answer your messages, to be active. Instead I choose to write letters because that way I am not dealing with people on a 1 to 1 basis. I have the ability to reach on a one to many relationship and try to help Argonath the best way I can. I hope you can understand this now.
If this message is not clear enough, re read it. I will not be challenged by trying to do something. I won't be put down by others who out of the many that have replied only a hand full have said they did not want the letter. I work hard trying to give people something. I've said it I stand by it. 3 votes left.

Is this a joke or what? :lol:

One Vote, Delly. Really good letter. I will read your letter while i'm inactive for somedays from argonath.
-
With 97 votes out of 100 I am going to publish a small message so you can choose whether or not to continue from this point forward:
Consider it what you will, but know that it is honest.
I don't get paid to be on Argonath. I have three paying full time jobs. I have places I need to go and things I need I do. Argonath is not the priority for me that it was once was.
I only read up until this point.
I say you step down, and become a division leader and make Teddy a Community Leader.

I say you leave this topic Monte. You have done nothing but be moderated for your posts.

I say you leave this topic Monte. You have done nothing but be moderated for your posts.
He's a member of the community and free to voice his opinion, if he finds you unsuitable and finds Teddy more suitable, he is free to voice that. When making a topic like this and posts like that, expect some criticism like that.
-
Nothing less than I expected, that's a good start already. Thank you Dell!
Something I would like to add/say, it's not about the rank. It's about what you gain. And you gain only from the things that are not visible. If you are one of the people who were helped by Dellstorm in-game and got to like him, you have actually not gained anything. What he's now writing is what he is, and that's what he will help you and what will give you actual knowledge.
I know how hard it is to give, it's not only the /ban and the /sponsor command. There's more behind.
I don't know and I don't care about what others say usually, I have learn to judge myself and keep what I think valuable for myself, and before I laugh at a silly thing, I make sure there's nothing to learn from it. Instead of posting how loudly you are laughing, open up your mind and read carefully. You don't have to get EXACTLY what he's trying to say, but you can learn things you don't even imagine.
Keep it up Dell, thank you once more.
-
Obviously the public doesn't know shit, you should tell us more.
-
No, I am not 'asslicking' Dell.
Dell has received negative feedback on this idea of his. Fair enough a lot of people disagree with this but some things are meant to be kept to yourself guys. How would you feel if you want to do something and everyone brushes off your effort like its nothing?
Dell, keep your head up high and dont listen to the negative feedbacks. I support what you are doing here.. if anything you learned how easy it is to divide a community.
Looking forward to reading the letter/watching the video!
-

He made this topic to know how the players and the staff felt about his idea, they gave their opinion. May feel harsh now and then, but he shouldn't have asked for their opinion if he did not want them.

Yeah but an alternative answer to this is 'I appreciate your efforts Dell but I personally won't care' instead of
''Step down Dell you dont do shit in this server'' and all that bullshit I scanned through.

Exactly.

I may not be the one who will, but I have for sure got the motivation to understand. :)

Amazing how one topic can create such a response from not only the administration but the players within it. The only uproar I see is that the goal of 100 has been achieved by the people wanting it. All that was necessary from this point forward was for you to vote against it and leave it alone.
-
How inspiring. People can write about anything they want. Such is the nature of Argonath. For me I have chosen to base it on my experiences. How you should overcome parts in your life and learn from your mistakes. I hope it will be a joyful read for those. It needs fixing it but its around 95% complete. I had intended to get it ready for Friday.

All of this for what goal? Server HQ teams would have liked to have an additional hand in the HQ portions when times were tough, not a person writing a short story on their life as a leader whilst out so deliberately earning "30 pound an hour" whilst they have no time working 3 full time jobs which take up 24 hours a day.
Let us not forget about the "I don't get paid" portion whilst none of us get paid but still do what we can to assist staff and players alike when we do get a few minutes to spare.
Like you, some if not all of us may not have Argonath as a priority in our lives but we will still try make some time to fulfill what's needed of us in our positions to the best of our ability.
I didn't feel like getting involved in this topic again, but blindness is an awful ailment when the lights go out.

If there's any one with questions left as to the context of the letter details contained within it you're welcome to carry this on via my forum PM. For those of you who have contributed I thank you. For those now waiting I will be as quick as I can to publish it. Many will not yet see the level of detail within it. You will notice that there are many messages contained inside it. It was not an easy letter to make and it was never designed to be. I look forward to your queries. /out.

It's not because they are on Argonath forum right now that they don't have a life.

What anger? What truth? You claim i'm some kind of monster that isn't capable of doing anything productive in Argonath. You (and some other HQ members) keep accusing me of stuff I haven't done.
For what? Because I openly disagree with you and your buddies? Is that it? You can't handle criticism?
No sir, YOU should consult a doctor. You keep doing this witch hunt against me. THAT needs to stop.

That link is for asslick only the way I see it. Last time I reported you, I almost got banned, and, well Gvardia lost official status. And that, without even directly insulting at you, rather saying stuff most people say about you.
What did you do for RS5 ? (( not the community as you're only a manager.))
The only person that has the "right" to be mad at Dellstorm, imo, is Devin. Because he worked his ass off and was closer to players than any of you other high ranks. Remember everyone is a human and would get offended at that kind of attitude you show towards him. Especially coming from a high-rank, whose supposed to be a role model.
