A moment to reflect

Hello, that second-tier shitposter from TI here;

 

This is a strange event for me. I find myself in a position I never expected to be in: I'm on the 'winning' side, but I'm not celebrating. Though this war was far longer than everybody wanted, and although a lot was lost on both sides, I can't help but feel that the way it ended was, for the most part...sad. However you view the revelations from Alex, I'm sure that, as people who care about the game and who have made friends playing it, who have spent far longer than we'd ever be proud to admit playing it, today was a monumentally sad day for Orbis.

People who have been with us for years have decided that the game at present is not something they wish to continue playing. People who once cared a lot about the community now simply feel that the community does not care for them.

 

I'm not sure why I'm making this post, perhaps because since the war started I have long been a major critic of the way the NPO and BK has acted. Perhaps because I once viewed the war in far too much of a binary light: good guys and bad guys. I failed to realise that there are good people on the side I had decided I seriously disliked, and from reading some of the posts on the various disbandment and peace threads I now realise that not everybody I have been fighting alongside is a saint either. For anybody I have offended during my warmongerish rants, I am sorry.

 

As we move on from this, there is something we must all remember. We are a small community, and any alliance disbanding is a blow to that community. It is not something to be celebrated, and I will never agree with those who have gloated, bragged or celebrated some of the actions we have seen today. I wish everybody a pleasant rebuild, and to those who feel they can no longer continue playing, I hope that you find happiness in wherever you decide to spend your time.

 

TL;dr: for !@#$ sake stop gloating about people quitting the game, good luck to everybody whether you've decided to stay or go.

Sad to see Roq, Shadowthrone, Yuno banned & others just wanting to peace out so they can delete. Even if on different sides, was an interesting war & think they should be allowed back sooner probably.

According to the rules of the game the ban should be permanent. They got off light. That being said, I did enjoy the drama surrounding war and I do wish it had ended differently.

I don’t know what rule says that, but ending wasn’t the best. Also if we ban those who bring a little controversy, nothing would be happening. Bored now, lol.

Col A received a hollow victory today. Not something that you'd brag about.

@Noctis Anarch Caelum I'll be around for a bit, maybe we'll butt heads again soon enough.

It is perhaps a hollow victory but not for the reasons you think, if this cheating didn't occur Col A most likely would have won this war months back. The cheating did quite a bit of damage to the game on an enormous scale. I feel robbed.

It's fine, they are never coming back.
