I've totally forgot my monthly post.
Anyways. Applause to TKR + friends to man up and kick an alliance that just came out of a month long war. Good job showing how excellent you are.
Now stop hitting my favourite micro. Thanks.
Maybe an alliance that just got out of a month long war shouldn’t be talking shit, plotting against us, and antagonizing everyone and their mother.
It’s called playing this game well

It's barely in the 2nd round. How long do you guys expect this to go for?
You see, your side keeps saying stuff like this but the reality is much different. I applaud your tenacity and bravery in the face of almost insurmountable odds, but it’ll be extremely difficult for you or KT to bounce back especially considering the staggered beiging going on (more or less).
But in a way I’m rooting for you guys. It’s been too easy and I need more targets.

I've felt really bad about it ever since. Next time I come visit I'll stop by that new steakhouse and bring him a steak or something. Hope he's doing alright.
I had to take her (did you just assume her gender?) to the dog therapist because she’s been having nightmares every night and everytime I say Thalmor (which is often) she gets triggered.
Also she’s vegan, how DARE you.

I don’t think this is an either/or thing. You can’t always have CBs, but they spice things up. Declaring for no reason is whatever, but it’s not interesting. This game is about drama and politics, not just war. Declaring on people for no reason in and of itself creates a CB for the defensive party. So we definitely need both happening to have a healthy amount of fun.

Lol yes, how I described it was exactly how it was when I was there. Note that Keegoz didn’t deny anything I said. I was the head of ET not that long ago, though to be fair to them, long enough ago that it could’ve changed.
In response to Keegoz, we did tests when I was there too and they were given by approved people in KT. But the test was only administered to people that KT gov regarded as not “autistic” or at least not too “autistic”. But again, to be fair, that was when Horsecock was the head of IA and oversaw ET operations.
Perhaps all of that has changed. But considering you guys still have over 90 people in ET and a majority have been there for months, it still seems ineffective. In my opinion, ET is where new players go to become disinterested and stop playing.

Congratulations and good luck!

Mostly because including ET into the stats is rather idiotic to say the least. There are very few requirements to get in, we rarely purge inactives and only those who actually want to bother actively improving themselves go anywhere.
Many people seem to think ET is some sort of alliance, it really is just a much more thorough process of trying to only get the best people into KT. Probably needs to be noted for anyone wanting to argue legitimately about the numbers involved here.
Yeah, let’s not forget you condemn the “retards” to ET forever if you don’t like them. It’s good that you at least come forward with the failure of ET.
The process is not thorough at all. It’s long, ineffective, and corrupt. Instead of helping new players and fostering an environment of inclusivity, you forced them to stay in ET until you deem them worthy, which is almost never. At least that’s how it was when I was there.
But to be fair, he’s right that everyone in ET is barely worth the numbers. It’s KT’s inactive farm and penal colony. All they do is fill defensive slots. I’d only add the top 10% into the stats.

To be fair, that's not exactly how it has historically worked. In the past there has always be a degree of self-regulation within the community- particularly in the leadership of prominent alliances. Serious and/or overt blurring of IC-OOC lines (particularly with regards to Real-Life matters) has generally seen swift action from alliances with perpetrator(s) being promptly disposed and/or amends made. In instances where this was not the case, a community reaction generally followed suit.
I do believe that precedent to be a healthy mechanism which serves to keep the game a game and thus, enjoyable to the greatest percentage of players possible.
With that in mind i've been slightly disappointed at various players on both sides of the fence lately: The reactionary (SJW) contingent in the community lately has gone overboard with crusades against all who do not prescribe to their worldviews on morality, ethics and yes- politics. Simultaneously other parties have been guilty of deliberately crossing OOC lines which should not be crossed in an attempt to provoke their polar opposites into "rage". This has gone back-and-forth for a while now and frankly, neither side of the equation contributes a single worthwhile thing to this gaming environment and community in the process. If degeneration of game-discourse continues among this trend, i'd daresay a majority of players will eventually tune out and leave you to waddle in your own toxicity.
Can you give specific examples of the SJW contingent going on said “crusades”.
As far as I can tell, we’ve just been voicing our disagreement with the Nazi idolization in-game and the emboldened racists and white supremacists who take their vile OOC beliefs into the game.
If we’re going to talk about NSR when they were SIR and TRF when we were SGM, it’s become increasingly clear over the past couple months that it was perfectly justified. The whole “we’ve reformed and won’t be overtly racist” narrative has since broken down and you can go see Bastion spouting overtly racist comments in the KT server. These people don’t deserve protection.
So all in all, what is “overboard”? As far as I can see, we’re just makin sure that there are repercussions for that type of behavior. Amongst yourself and the rest of the people in this game, nothing is being done or even said.

Yeah he really stepped into that one, huh

@Buorhann is this all part of your masterful plan?

This is just another example of really poor theme names. If you really wanted to make an alliance with WW2 era German weaponry and stuff, you don’t have to name it after an actual Nazi fighting force. Unless Afrika Korps is in some way related to the anime.
As for this whole “theme police” thing being a tactic only used by SJWs is utter bullshit. I’ll make sure to remember the hypocrites that complain about the theme police but also go around criticizing themes they don’t like.

Yes Arkiri, you are clearer than he is.
As for keeping his name out of my mouth, I don't have to and will not. That's not how things work when you post in every thread you see.

"Oh you're talking about a situation where Kastor is not referring to me at all and is completely irrelevant to this situation."
Ok.
You proved my point well, thank you. That seems to be a Queen vs Kastor thing, seems pretty irrelevant to me.
Again, Kastor chooses to speak in public. If he doesn't want to be talked about he is free to stop.

So you were aware that you're I couldn't care less what people say to Kastor, he's a big boy. I was simply pointing out that he did indeed state what you asked of him (The whole logs of telling Queen M not to say his name anymore or something, whatever it is you wanted) about a month or so ago on the OWF here.
Well I am not Queen, unfortunately, we're not the same person. I thought Kastor was specifically talking about me saying his name which I almost never do, the proof is in my posts before today. I asked of him to provide proof I specifically utter his name often considering his post used the words "you" when talking to me.

It's legit in a thread about a month or so ago.
Oh you're talking about a situation where Kastor is not referring to me at all and is completely irrelevant to this situation. The only reason anyone pays attention to him is because he chooses to speak in public and often makes a fool of himself. I admire your tendency to protect your members. But you could've picked someone better to be your primary pot stirrer.

You’re always talking about me. You’re more annoying than my ex. As I told your Colonizer leader, keep my name out your mouth.
Provide logs of you telling her that.

Kastor you have no credibility in your statements regarding this matter. Just stop because you're making yourself and your alliance look worse than it already does.

Poor Pantheon
Yui is a great and nice person and this kind of slander is unwarranted.
As for the rest of you other than the snek, stop making literally everything about yourself. You're making youselves look bad for doing so in this topic of all things. Such a poor FA tactic, I thought I made it. Lo and behold, it wasn't me!
