Hello everyone under the sun and welcome back to another installment of tower today. This week, I decided I need to laugh off something and shed some light here.
MurdiusMaximus finally returned with news of him returning...like bungie making an update about them making an update, hyperbole ftw. I actually want to take a few excerpts of our conversation together, mind you, these will be quotes being used for responsive purposes.

I didn't vote. Despite your claims otherwise, I'm not petty. All I ask is please don't use my tag.
MurdiusMaximus Nov 17
That's not asking a lot.
Veneficus Ignis Nov 17
I'm doing just as I did last time, Charity work, taking time out of my day to assist in the life span.
Veneficus Ignis Nov 17
Well, as i said, last time, i atleast had a good ratio of people voting for the continuum, and those people were your fans max..
MurdiusMaximus Nov 17
If you want to write the Tower News, I can't stop you. I also will not troll your posts, nor say anything inflammatory. #unofficialweeklyupdate is my tag though. I ask again that you please not use it. Do #TowerNews or something.
MurdiusMaximus Nov 17
If you insist on using my tag, it not only looks petty on your part, but you stifle your own attempts to make something cool.
MurdiusMaximus Nov 17
Some of the folks who read mine may enjoy yours. There's no reason there can't be overlap. It's an open forum, people are allowed to like more than one thing.
Don't make this a hassle. Please use your own tag, OK?
Veneficus Ignis Nov 17
Didn't look petty before I was attacked last year, oh well. I'll do ya a flava
MurdiusMaximus Nov 17
Thank you. And good luck with your posts, I hope they do well!
Veneficus Ignis Nov 17
I never said I'd remove it :D I do appreciate the feedback though, Adding my own tag could do well.
Veneficus Ignis Nov 17
We'll see where it goes though, how have things been tho? The audits gotta be a real thorn in the side there :/ But the reason I personally apologized on my post was because I went through a similar things with a family member passing max. You're not alone
Veneficus Ignis Nov 17
Its not easy, And if i can, can i know your loved ones name to include in my repentance? Ever since my dad passed last month I've been going through all memories trying to learn where I can fix things...
Murdiusmaximus Nov 18
I appreciate the sentiment, but I'd prefer to keep my grandfather's passing out of any updates. I am sorry for your loss, both of my parents died before I turned 22, so I know how rough it can be.
Veneficus Ignis Nov 18
I'm 21 max, my mom abandoned the family 12 years ago and my dad passed last year, and I did not want to put your grandfathers passing in the updates, but in my prayers. My dad didn't fight in the end because he knew he was going to heaven after he was gone.. So he just accepted it, and I know that life cannot be filled petty grudges, may I honor you and his memory?
Veneficus Ignis Nov 18
Okay... well i respect your decision, i mistyped, it was last month that my father passed.. he had hepatitis C that took his kidneys, and because of destructive gout on his knees and infected ulcers, they couldn't do anything to save his life... he was..asleep and passed... it destroys you when you know your parents are gone... I cry still to this day... I'm sorry that I mocked your grandfather, may you forgive me for my statement last year. As i said before, I wish to repent my sins, and not just repent in front of a priest, but to the people I harmed with what i did... Anyways, you can quote this if you wanna embarass me any time, and I'll get it, I deserve it for insulting a friend... Are you holding up well though max?
holding up well though max?
Veneficus Ignis Nov 18
I know the wife and monthly life routines take your mind off it, but at the end of the night I know he's in your thoughts.
Veneficus Ignis Nov 18
Well anyways, Know im not the asshole i was last year... It takes losing something you live for to change who you are entirely...
MurdiusMaximus Nov 18
I'm truly sorry for your loss. It's heartbreaking and I hope you get through it. Time heals all wounds, this I know.
I asked nicely that you not tag the Tower News with the UwU. I was reasonable. You did it anyway.
Very, very not cool man.
Veneficus Ignis Nov 18
Of course, In time i will. Like I said, I had people who viewed my previous versions last year and would love to see their support.
Veneficus Ignis Nov 30
I look forward to your return tomorrow :)
MurdiusMaximus Nov 30
It will be next week.
Veneficus Ignis Nov 30
Ah. Okay then. Well I'm taking a break next week, so have fun, ill enjoy the read, did you get the audits taken care of?
Veneficus Ignis Nov 30
You know, just thought I'd ask. Like I said, I'm not here to muck up your work. Rather, advance it.
So...notice something here? Lets move to another part of the convo, just recently actually.
MurdiusMaximus 1h 5m ago
Insults? Why am I giving credit to the Tower News? What's up man, why are you so disrespectful?
Veneficus Ignis 1h 5m ago
Disrespectful?
Veneficus Ignis 1h 5m ago
How so...
MurdiusMaximus 1h 1m ago
Don't play clueless. Your backhanded insults and insinuated trash talk is plain as day. What is your damage with me?
Veneficus Ignis 1h 1m ago
Look at the last insert of the update from last week, and the beginning of each, All i do is mention you. And at one point even say I miss you, as does your community...
Veneficus Ignis 1h 0m ago
how is that trash talk?
I know someone can't just delete a convo with a heartfelt incentive like I did, but I guess he did if he saw my personal apology to him, as disrespectful and attacking...
Now guys, there won't be an interview, or heck, even news. I'd rather just let this be out there to show you all where I stand, as I'm sure this quite relative edition was made hours after maxs' announcement for his return...
I look forward to him coming back and bring the creative interviews we all love seeing each week (Compared to mine I suppose) Osiris will be arriving tomorrow and I look forward to conversing with him as well tracking down more news to sate your appetites.
For Tower Today, I'm Veneficus Ignis, Signing o-
[b]Hey, you can't just my equipment in secrecy Ven[/b]
Brent, Chill, its not even a real update, I'm trying to show the lovely viewers a conversation...
[b]I don't care what It is, I want a paycheck, that's my camera.[/b]
With my tripod, memory chip, battery.... Brent just, go away. I'll give you a gift card in the office stockings.
[b]I'd prefer just silver...[/b]
Yes, I know you do, thats why I still see twenty...three! Twenty three un-opened treasures of the dawning even after you've gotten everything it offers! You have a silver addiction....you know what, leave or I'm sending you to rehab.
Okay, now that's taken care...I'll see you all friday, Enjoy the dawning and have a wonderful night, I love you all.

Disclaimer: I don't know Max, have never spoken privately with Max, and in no way am trying to speak for him. This is just the perspective from a random forum lurker who has irrationally kept up with this drama. Based on the content of a couple of Max's posts, I'm going to guess that the two of you share very different views on death, repentance, sins/confessions, etc. I have a feeling that that difference makes the loss of a loved one a much bigger struggle for him and makes it difficult for the two of you to connect empathetically over similar situations involving the subject. I like Max's posts; I also usually like yours as well. I can understand both of your perspectives about the hashtag. I think it's a small and silly thing to be upset about, but sometimes those are the things that you hold onto when you feel like your life is falling apart. In my opinion, if I were you, I'd just give it up. Any audience you continue to attract from it will likely be down voters who only want to see Max's posts. Anybody who likes your stuff can follow your tag, and you can pull in new viewers with the holidays while leaving the drama behind.
