Thank you, it means alot to me as this guild was my first successful guild, our goal then was to set things right and protect those who were being "bullied" by other players (pvp oriented game) and keep things fair. Brought together the most powerful people on the server under that cause and we did great.

- The mindset of many Japanese business owners is that profit is not the #1 reason for operating a business. Profit is important to keep going, but culturally it definitely comes in behind providing for employees and social responsibility.
This I did not know and it just adds to my respect for the Japanese people. Western culture paints them as arogant and selfish yet in reality its far from the truth, total opposite really. I've always been intrigued with Japanese culture, their sense of honor and pride is pretty nice.
