Before the forums implodes further and DSGHQ civil war, let’s talk about why being a sheep is retarded, but why it isn’t necessarily a crime.
Both Lush and Brit have held very high positions within the community and have been shown respect by the administrative team for a long period of time. Their decision to betray the values that they once were trusted enough to enforce, purely out of boredom alone, is kind of sad. I would imagine that this is why there has been such a strong reaction to their actions as it will feel like a such a large betrayal.
It also makes no sense for people to support them and say that they should have no punishment, simply because they are their friends. People who do this and are also ranked, or have been previously, are also betraying the trust they have been given for the sake of seeming cool.
That being said, the talk of punishing most people for being supportive is completely unnecessary. Obviously people are going to stick up for their friends as that’s what they do. People should, however, consider evaluating whether or not you actually support their actions. If you don’t and you still act like you do, then you are a sheep and being trapped in that mindset should be punishment enough.
Brit and Lush aren’t really scum people, they are actually pretty cool overall, but it is a shame that they have decided to act this way out of boredom.
Why can’t people leave without trying to kill everyone?

I really didn't expect this from Lush and Brit but it happened, but good people make bad choices and that's life.
It is natural that people will stick up for their friends and it seems a bit authoritarian and unnecessary to punish them for it. But as you have said, being friends with someone doesn't mean you have to be a sheep. Actually, I strongly believe that true friendship is about sincerity and freedom to discuss mistakes. The genuine friendship does not require absolute agreement between parts to exist, it is sustained upon disagreements.

It's not the fact that they "did nothing wrong" which yes, they both did something wrong but I think it's being blown out of proportion to what actually happened. Damen said that lush and brit were worse than frogs, which is just untrue. Frogs not only has cause massacres but has harassed almost everyone in this community and also has told many staff and users to kill themselves. Frogs has done so much to make the staff team restless of his behaviour. He has also gotten a lot of chances in the past. So seeing Damen compare two amazing people and their mistakes to someone who never learns, constantly harasses, and constantly is rude to the community was an utter disappointment. I wanted to clarify to Damen about how Brit and Lush's situation is nowhere compared to frogs and neither of them are evil.
I'm not saying that what Brit and Lush did was justified and right, and it's sad that this has happened. But still, I want to clarify a few things that aren't being spoken on. Lush killed 1 person and that was Courtney, you can look at cinema and you can see she was the one that killed courtney and she even admitted to it online which got her banned, killed, and arrested on a lot of her accounts. Brit killed 1 innocent user, but she did not do that for fun: BEFORE the innocent user died, a knight with the nickname "yo momma" started attacking because lush was online and he was gonna kill lush for killing Courtney. HE killed 2 users, Zin and lushs account. Brit was on her account at the time and because the knight was killing users and attacking she attacked back and thats when she accidentally killed a user. You can see it on cinema, even the knight admitted to killing the users because he was "mad". I hope that knight is also getting demoted because he killed 2 innocent users (that I know of/saw).
It's all on cinema. Lush killed one account and it was Courtney. Brit didn't kill out of boredom she was just trying to get that knight to stop attacking. That's all I know of the situation from what I saw. Again, this isn't me trying to justify what they did because yes they still killed which isn't right I just thought this needed to be said. Plus before we all assume lush and brits intentions we should hear about what they have to say about the situation too.
I agree that it wasn't right for me to act as if brit and lush did nothing wrong and I'm sorry for my actions. Regardless, homies stick together and hopefully lush and brit can tell their sides of what happened.
*edit* you know I had to edit this once i found proof of the "massacre"

You see, this seems more logical.
I know Lush and Brit are both really good people, and the fact that Damen is upset about this intrigues me!

y'all aint even know why lush killed courtney and it shows
since when the motivation behind slaughter justifies it? How does that make it acceptable and legitimate?
Yes, I know the charges against Courtney, but they do not justify what Lush did.

so the problem isn't lush or brit, if what cristal said is true. the issue is braindead knights getting armed and promoted.
I believe Brit and Lush are not completely innocent, but it is obvious that island knights should be promoted with stricter criteria. Also, Damen should fix permissions. I don't know why a North Knight, for example, is able to south arrest.

it was all just a big misunderstanding ~ now seeing cristal's screenshots.
i don't know what lush did; what her motive was ~ but as for brit, it seems like it was a mistake.
and remember: its just a penguin game @Damen ; someone dies - they die. it's fine lol
