    Before me getting demoted and me leaving ODO I would donate my essences to the cabal bank.
    In the spirit of fairness I would like to ask for some guesstimation of these essences that I donated to be given to me from the cabal bank.
    Thoughts?

    I am not asking for all the essences that I every donated... just maybe like half of what donated in the last month before being demoted and me leaving.

    I am not asking for all the essences that I every donated... just maybe like 1/3 of what donated in the last two months before being demoted and me leaving.

    Everyones talked it over, and here's the logic as well as the the answer. There's several problems that even trying to do this would result in, first of which is: we would be robbing Peter to pay Paul, as it were, since the essences and such in the cabal bank currently are not the same ones that were donated by you. Three months have passed and those essences are the fruit of the work of current members who donated them to use with the cabal.

    Secondarily, donations are not mandatory - if you didn't want to give those items up to be used by other people, you were not obligated to donate.

    Third: you equally benefited from lair summons that others donated at the time as much as they benefited from yours, so even if the whole thing was strictly transactional in nature, the ledger seems balanced in that regard.

    So, the answer is kind of obviously no, but that's the logic and reasoning behind it. There is simply no way to do such a thing in a way that is fair to all involved.

    Pyre,
    It is irritating that the same officers that voted to demote me (for in IMHO BS reasons) get to use essences I donated but did not get to share in.. but so be it.

    shizukesa,
    Thank you Shizukesa, but u should hold on to those marks in case you come back to the game.

    I am going for fairness in this request not a handout, so thank you ... but you should keep those marks.

    When a member donates essences into a cabal bank, it becomes a common pool of essences that everyone will use. There is never a guarantee that everyone gets to use, i.e. participate in summoning exactly as many of the exact same essences as they donated. When you were a member, you donated into the bank, yes, but likewise you participated in summons that were made with essences that others had donated, not just your own. Therefore, if there was ever a ledger, it's even, as Pyre already said.
