Well, this is all a done deal as of today.  I've posted my &quot;final&quot; message in the thread in the WoW forums and the deal is closed.  With all the bad rep CO has picked up along the way, I feel they've handled this situation amiably.  Our own ex, Fuzzynips, played no small part in getting this taken care of.  I guess Agotya/Igotim was the one ultimately in charge of making the decision on what to do with Theonekiller and ToK has been kicked from the guild.  I think that basically explains why he never did contact me again or send the funds he promised to send.  He wasn't concerned about &quot;doing the right thing,&quot; but only about trying to stay in the guild.  At least that's the way it seems.

Anyway, that link again is posted below and it actually made it to 5 pages of posts (82 posts total) and over 1,000 views.  A lot of people helped to put a bit of pressure out on the table, and much of that came from help within our own guild.  They offered me a position with CO, which makes me feel better for reasons I posted in that last post in the WoW forums, but they can't possibly brag about having the kind of people we have here in FSE.  BWL phat lootz?  Phah!  hehe  The short of it is:  THANK YOU for all your support in this mess!

One last thing.  I'm going to be posting one last message in this thread tomorrow.  CO offered to pay me the amount ToK basically stole, but I told them I didn't blame the guild - I blamed the person.  Justice has been served and the guild doesn't owe me any money.  Igotya kinda forced the issue and we talked momentarily about compensation, but I left fealing that the matter had been taken care of and it was over.  Igotya did mention he, and the guild, felt partially responsible for what happened because four of the members of that group were CO members.  I basically told him CO is in no way responsible.

Just before I logged out I noticed a new arrival in my in-game mailbox.  45g, sent by Igotya on behalf of CO.  Very nice.  Very upstanding.  So unnecessary, but even so...  So I'm going to be posting one last message to that thread tomorrow, short and to the point, to make it stand out stating that CO came through with the funds when ToK dropped the ball.

Thanks again for everything!
