Pub, you know I love you, but **demand** ?

I’m a political commentator with a radio show. I said this was my personal opinion as well. I didn’t **demand** anything.

 

As I said on the show, this is far from hate. There are alliances I massively dislike, and Ti isn’t one of them. All the criticisms of them in this thread about Ti have been valid criticisms of their stats. 

 

No, we aren’t, and no one is bullying The immortals here. If you don’t want to be criticized, don’t lead, you can easily play and enjoy this game as a member, as I’ve done for years. 

 

Also, The immortals are not TSC, The Foundation, or The Oldest House. This is an established macro alliance. 
 

So please, stop with this whole bullying narrative. Stop with the excuses for them. Posting their stats and saying they have a terrible performance and record isn’t bullying. 

If “demand” is a bit strong given the context. I’ll read it as your chosen method to express you want to see them improve.  

What excuses am I making? I said things fell short and hopefully can be executed better going forward - followed up by saying insults and roasts aren’t going to magically make them improve. 
 

I didn’t call anyone a bully or start a greater “narrative” about it. It was mentioned once as an adjective for some of the behavior I’ve seen by posters in the thread, outside of stats.  
 

much love tho ❤️ 

[The immortals are an Embarrassment.]

Third parties demanding resignations of a warring party is pretty cringe. 
 

TI can do better, and hopefully they can shift gears for the remainder of the conflict. I don’t believe that publicly berating them is going to do much other than illustrate yourself as a bully. Let’s also celebrate the success of WELP/Eclipse in this capacity if we are going to focus on the downfalls of the losing side. 
 

That being said, being gov in an alliance who’s having their first war - it has been disheartening to find ourselves among the most motivated in the sphere. Perhaps it is the desire to prove ourselves that keeps us moving. I haven’t been active gov during a global since proxy war when I faceplanted as a leader and it feels really awful, I felt like I let myself and my friends down by leading them into such a loss. Shortly after, I was inactive until I was invited to TGH just before NPOLT, and had I been publicly shamed like this I might’ve just never come back. We all have our ups and downs, and I believe I speak for many in the community when I say we all want to see TI on an up. The method others are taking to say that message just varies.  
 

Tyrion this isn’t the defining moment of your legacy unless you choose for it to be.

As another member of the /some/ of the conversations being referenced by Logistics. There was never any intent to go sign another sphere. 

 

There is a lot of talk for the forums being dead and lack of transparency because only the secret cabal knows the happenings and I'm beginning to notice this aspect can very easily be weaponized. I have had others approach me regarding an issue of information transferred from one bloc to another by TSC, and none have actually given me any details on what that information even was. But the bigger point is - why does it matter?

If alliance a is treatied to alliance b, and then after a war and FA shuffle they are working with different MDP allies is it not assumed they would exercise the uses of a PIAT? You claim that it was intentional due to no plans to stay in our place at the time but that is outright wrong. I know this because initially when the war was coming to an end we found ourselves in a difficult spot on whether to commit to Sing who had done a LOT to help us in our starting months so far as to shield us from the war, or t$ who stepped in as the opposition of Sing but offered us safety from the war. As everyone saw, we didn't end up with either one and a large part of this is due to the rivalry and complications they had with one another, and we did not want to insert ourselves in the middle of two groups we have only been treated kindly by. If there was a secret connection and plan to jump over to TKR the entire time then there was some incredible actors (including myself) with some strong opinions about that decision while debating internally. I suppose next time we will have to post a PIAT with any MDPs to make sure our good friends DB don't jump on us in a war they had no obligation to again. 

 

Now ignoring all of that. DB was not present in CIS at the time of us having those deliberations. DB was not in any of the channel full of awkward discussion with TSC failing to commit to "bloc up" with Sing. If there was information exchanged that crossed the line, as there totally can be, but strategically speaking - is unlikely why are we not being attacked by CIS for this? Why was this not attempted to be restored diplomatically? TP went smearing Roberts name on a news server recently and we DMd about it but that's not exactly a good faith start to diplomatic discourse. 

The war was decided with or without DB entering. Congratulate yourselves for your fruits of war as you attack the people you labeled "friends" in a war they have mostly been downdeclared on - you've earned it.

*Enter a war because specifically !@#$ TSC for spying*
*Give no elaboration*

"JK actually TSC is cool but they tried poaching......" 

 

SO happy to be in one of the only alliances ya'll are on good terms with.

400M is 2 weeks of raiding, didn't even make a dent on my savings when I bought it

That's valid, I have a handful of friends from the wild that I've tried and mostly failed at getting into the game. Not all of them are interested in playing a raid-style of gameplay though, and if you don't play that way then you will get dusted in terms of growth. 

[[DoE] Alavairthae!]

Let's go on an adventure. 

Thank you for the patience and work for all those involved - excited to be so involved and work with a likeminded group of players. o/

Not a fan of the protectorate especially with that pretender sitting on the throne.

[Boutique Alliances and The Problem Therein]

I knew tapping into top 50 would give us the street cred

 

But forreal, we do plan to recruit at the Sword Coast and have mostly been writing and setting up the internal docs/structure. 

Also, the fact you picked roberts over lefty smh.

Too true. Honestly, it's not even a copypasta. A copypasta is something that's catchy, humorous, and most importantly, memorable. If a sentence began with "for all of the," and I was asked to finish it, I could never remember what to say.

 

 

On the other hand if someone says "Rose" I instantly think Rose is more than just an alliance. Rose is a people and a purpose. It is a brotherhood of like-minded players who wish to make some noise and have fun during times of peace and conflict - but also serve a higher purpose by contributing value and meaning to the game around them. Thus, Rose is an alliance guided and held together by the core values of a true community, where those within make sacrifices for one another and stand together even in the most adverse of events.

I love that essentially nothing Adama and I did paperwork wise is still around in rose except for that cheese ass thing. It used to be even more cheesy actually, I remember it saying "Rose transcends purpose."
