Recently I was made aware of the current attempt to ridicule the Hello Kitty guild (AD/PC/NA). While I was at first a little upset, I stopped to think about it. Saying HK stands for Helen Keller and laughing about it as your friends cheer you on is not an insult. In fact it's actually the opposite. Comparing HK to this remarkable women lends great credit to us. We are an average group of players, we run group sizes from 6 to 24. We are not a zerg as everyone thinks. We are no different than any other guild group. Our numbers vary, the quality of our players vary, and we win as many times as we loose. We have some really fun players in the guild and most of all we do not bring poor sportsmanship to the game as some of the other guilds that simply spam their 1 button combos. So if the other factions and some of our own AD faction wants to compare us to a person who's life was filled with extraordinary accomplishments, extremely successful and recognized as one of the true miracles in our time (historically), than please go right ahead, I will smile ever time you do so because I know we are doing something right.

For all those uneducated about Helen Keller here is a few facts you should acquaint yourself with.

Helen Keller

American Author

Helen Adams Keller was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first deafblind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree. The story of how Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, broke through the isolation imposed by a near complete lack of language, allowing the girl to blossom as she learned to communicate, has become widely known through the dramatic depictions of the play and film The Miracle Worker. Her birthplace in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, is now a museum and sponsors an annual "Helen Keller Day". Her birthday on June 27 is commemorated as Helen Keller Day in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and was authorized at the federal level by presidential proclamation by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, the 100th anniversary of her birth

I'm just glad that we found her diary and gets to reads all about her unique personal experiences. Must've been horrible in that attic.

Umm.. that's another important woman, Anne Frank..

Nah man check your facts, Anne Frank was the kickas woman who united many Germanic tribes who became known as the Franks, obviously. Her gang raided and pillaged all throughout Asia and almost made it to Europe. They were so scary that the Chinese built a wall to keep them away
