  1. His post here is enough to warrant them getting someone else. You simply do not try and call out the people in a peace post. Unless you guys want to keep playing stupid games.
  2. Delta... get a new spokesman. He is likely the worse person to have be the voice for you all. Dave, CotL didn't poach the prot. They came to us, like others. Maybe instead of trying to throw shade at Hedge you fix the problems that cause them to leave in the first place.
  3. Look at you trying to be clever. We played this game before and it didn't end well for you than.
  4. Have you read the Disclaimer portion of the logs? It doesn't seem like you have. Akuryo once held those beliefs but do not anymore. This is proven since she outed herself in an attempt to show that we have some donkeys pretending to be stallions. Which should have started a conversation about what we are going to allow in our community. If she wouldn't have shown remorse for those past beliefs than she would have kicked the can down the road. Since she has by compiling the logs with intent to go public while also stating that she deserves to receive backlash for it. I am willing to believe that she does not harbor such beliefs anymore. Do not get me wrong, she is no Saint. We just have to come to the realization that not everything is black and white. Also, yes minesome I know where you got them and I know you posted it. From my understanding you just posted them a couple of days before she going to.
  5. Incorrect. We did not know about the logs she compiled until they were posted on RON. Good try tho.
  6. To the mods: This post will blur the lines between IC and OOC as in order for me to discuss the events that have recently taken place I must discuss both. If you wish to move this post to a forum that you deem more appropriate than thank you in advance. As many of you are aware recently there has been a full series of Logs that were created by Akuryo in order to shed light upon some of the more unsavory people within our community. These logs were created for the purpose of “coming clean” and as a warning to others that we have to be careful not to allow yourselves to become complacent when battling the more unacceptable, disgusting ideologies that some people have outside of the game. As much as I tend not to care if you are “Right” or “Left”, there are simply some viewpoints that I cannot stomach, in this case White Supremacy To me White Supremacy, and other hate, is nothing more than a burden upon society that forever locks us into stagnation. It is the sick excuses that weak minds use to justify their complete ignorance of the world around them. It is not something to be tolerated nor is it something that we can just humor. When I was made aware of these logs I spoke with Akuryo about them and asked her why she felt the need to put herself on the cross knowing full well what was going to come next. Her response was “But I did have to, I couldn't keep standing for what I do otherwise. People like me preach accountability. It was time to practice”. That is something I can respect, along with her attempt of making amends by coming public. This is why she will remain a member of CotL. I will not be forcing her out of the alliance she has called a home for a year nor will I be removing her from the friends she has made during that time. When she leaves it will be of her choice, not mine. With saying that she has shaken my faith in her ability to be my Second, that is why I asked for her to step down which she has done. To me that is a just punishment for her crimes given the remorse for past actions. Unfortunately, I understand that my decision will be unacceptable to some people. That is something I am prepared to live with as someone’s personal growth can only be achieved by willingness to work towards forgiveness. For me to turn my back on someone who is looking to make amends is simply not the person I am and would be counterproductive to the person I wish to be.
  7. We didn't deny agreeing to work with Swamp in a Defensive war. SRD stated this and we told you this before. Only thing you are doing is trying to grasp at straws to say that Rose, Hedge and Swamp agreed to hit you guys months before it happened which is simply not true.
  8. I didn't think this was a big secret since SRD already shared this at the beginning of the last war. As for me being the Mysterious Hedge Leader, who here didn't already figure that out and who won the betting pool?
  9. As the person who just threw it up there for the sake of it since I knew Swamp had this unholy wall of text, I completely agree with you. It didn't warrant any recognition and it annoyed me that it was shortlisted.
  10. Sorry for the loss of your friend and community member. May he rest in peace.
  11. If you choose to keep putting your back up to anything we say than there will be no going forward. We will be doomed to repeat ourselves over and over again. That is not a threat, or a promise, its just seems to be the cycle around here. A cycle I hope we can break. We have already told you about the Hedge-Swamp Defensive deal and why we felt it was right at the time. You can't keep disregarding our position simply because you don't like it. Its not a lie that Quack actions help lead us on a path, its not a lie that we were uncomfortable with your size and ability. Those are all facts and its the combination of those facts that put us where we are today. You are wrong that its up to Hedge to repair our relationship. Its both of us that have to sit down and settle things.
  12. TI and TFP took the dive on wishful thinking. They didn't sit back and use excuses as to why they couldn't do this or that, they just did it. They were starting out fresh with no sure things or big players coming to help them. Yet, I'm supposed to believe that the most competent, experienced bloc in the game couldn't get it together in three months or less? Sounds like I have more faith in your abilities than you do. The NAP had to be a blanket. If it wasn't than you guys would of had way too much of an advantage with little reason to work towards mending bridges or changing direction. All you would do is sit back and watch us run into each other than clap someone down the road. Why would I think that? Simply because that is what I would do. People are like water and will always take the easiest route, its no fault of our own just nature. At least this way Swamp gets the chance to fix their train wreck, Tyrion and Harry can mold the bloc of their dreams and Quack can find your smile again. Not happy about it but it is what it is and I agreed to it. We all share the blame for the war since each of us had our roles to play ensuring it would happen, be it Hedge agreeing to defend Swamp or elements of Quack's attitude towards the other blocs. Without all the factors we wouldn't have lead up to where we are. I'm not going to argue the CB since frankly, CB's are perspective. Sphinx's resignation and Boyce's desire to see CotL get smoked allowed you to see what you wanted and you rolled with it. Thats perfectly acceptable since with the shoe on the other foot I'd have went for it no differently. Problem is, now we have to move on and that means coming to an understanding. People say they need trust but trust doesn't exist. We need to listen, reflect and act upon the concerns or else we will be back here again wasting our time yelling at walls. Sorry if that sounds preachy but thats my after school special moment. Phoenyx don't even waste your time quoting me. I'm not interested in getting sucked into the vortex my man.
  13. Who cares? They felt threatened, we felt threatened. War happened. Welcome to the game. You can write about it again when the next war happens.
  14. No, there is a difference between the rules of our creator and rules of us mere mortals. When an alliance asks you not to talk about something than its a gag order. Its really not a complex idea.
  15. That is the PnW version of a gag order.
  16. Must of missed the Best Rebrand. Thank you for clearing that up.
  17. Out of curiosity, Best Rookie Alliance will be one of the new start ups and not the merged or restarts. Correct?
  18. You are very dramatic using words like annihilation. This isn't the IQ era where there was hatred between sides. I'd refrain from trying to paint that picture when it is completely false if I was you. This is simply a war where the smaller spheres are were pressured into protecting itself from a sphere that could force the world into bipolar or hegemony if not put in check. How each bloc came to this conclusion is different but not hidden. Be it tS rattling at CAM for the last however long due to old ties to a group best forgotten or the attitude shown toward members of Hedge. You add in your size and ability than its not hard to see what pushed us towards our stance. Trying to pretend that you are just an innocent victim is a fallacy when some people decided to force hands. I'm unaware of Rose spying before they countered. When we were getting blitzed, if you want to say that is what you done, Hedge was just riding the wave doing spy attacks while we waited for others to join. Also trying to argue that it takes alot of planning to pull off counters is a lie. We aren't back in the old days where you have to type everything out spending hours building a sheet so most competent alliances that have departments that work together can pump this stuff out rather quickly.
  19. Get back under your bridge than.
  20. How little you know but how mighty you talk. We are not the ones running around complaining because we didn't get to have that nice easy war on HM and a deflated TCW. We are not the ones crying about how we are something we aren't. If you cannot accept the point of view as to why alliances were nervous about Quack than by all means exit the conversation. I am not worried about a Swamp Hegemony and if they tried to create one I'd slap them as well. In fact, I'm confident enough to say we would burn Hedge to the ground before any of us would prop one up. This is simply that, ensuring that one doesn't take place. Like I said before, learn to take some ownership and give some thought about how three independent blocs came to the aid of one another.
  21. I'd rather take the chance with 10 adults. My three year old beats the unholy hell out of me and thats all in the name of playing. Are you really going to complain about a dog pile when you tried to dogpile us? Don't be a hypocrite. Wars are never even so maybe you guys should take some ownership as to why this happened instead of being mad that it did. It isn't a secret that Quack's size and ability made everyone leary that they could position themselves to be the next Hegemony. It is simple logic. For all your "immense measures" taken it didn't stop you guys from becoming so big that it would take at least two blocs in order to challenge you. Not one of the other blocs, be it Hedge, Rose, or Swamp has the ability to challenge on its own. Even a HedgeSwamp coalition would be a very uphill battle. So when you say that you watched your size I'm going to call nonsense on that. All you done was keep yourselves just under the bar. Like it or not, Hegemony is bad for business and you done nothing to prove that you wouldn't take it if opportunity arises.
