You side was funded with cheated-in resources, with the goal of preventing hundreds of people from being able to play the game ever again in any form that didn't include being sat on with 0 infra while blockaded. This is just arrogant. You have no idea what you're talking about. Our side tried to surrender multiple times, but the process was made intentionally as difficult as possible at every possible step. The terms for surrender wasn't just reps either. The terms were massive and spanned several dimensions, with many alliances having specific terms set upon them. They were entirely unreasonable. You should consider deleting your forum account. Says the guy who continued hitting us even after the war ended. KT and you especially are not who anyone should look to for moral guidance.

That I don't think Arthur himself really wanted to eradicate anyone, which is not anywhere as bad as people like Leo, but that there is undeniably some fault there. 2. That I'm generally okay with someone playing to win a game, however they like to set their goal. The later does not mean I'm okay with people cheating or the level of toxicity that came along with the war. The peace terms and process were both undeniably ridiculous and I'm not gonna tell anyone they should have just accepted it. As for Camelot though I think that the grudges are channeled towards them in unreasonable amounts when really those who should receive them have already left the game. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KT turned into a raiding alliance when Horse took over. We hit everyone (including current allies). I don't know why you're bringing up Dryad; I'm not wrong just because we're not a hivemind. Camelot members can have differing opinions, yes, but this thread is Camelot's leader apologizing for the past wrongdoing of himself and his entire alliance. Do you think he's wrong for having done so? 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying not to dive too deep into these threads as I haven't made my mind up on what to think of them just yet. That said, I saw your comments think it'd help dialogue for me to respond. t$ definitely has grievances it has not forgotten, with camelot, but also with a few other alliances who fought alongside you and still remain. We opted to end the war rather than push when the NPO crumbled because the war had gone on long enough, in a way that just wasn't good or fun for a majority of the game anymore. As arthur acknowledged in his post however, forgiveness is a process which is going to take a lot more time and a lot more effort than what we've seen so far. Arthurs thread could be a good first step, if it's followed up on. If it's not followed up on, it will probably end up being seen as hollow rhetoric for brownie points. As to your post- I personally (and with me, I think a lot of t$) do draw a distinction between the "soldiers" who were not involved in executive decision making, and the leadership which repeatedly made the call to support not just political actions, but also behavior which became increasingly shitty on both IC and OOC levels. Having been involved in the peace process on the other end, I can confirm that the terms were not just extreme, but the process surrounding the terms was designed to be unpleasant as possible for the individuals on the other side. Certain figures on your side went on a power trip. There is not really another way to describe it. A lot of resentment stems from that. Now, there's a general awareness that IQ witheld a lot of information from IQ members, and even from IQ peripheral government while simultaneously trying to prevent their actions from being publicized by threatening the other side: If we shared our interactions with IQ, that'd lead to additional terms. This created a dynamic where you went about your day fighting with the understanding that "COALITION A BAD, DOES NOT WANT TO SURRENDER, IQ MAN GOOD". It's something you (members) can not be faulted for. Initially. IQ's behavior came to light toward the end of the war. Many refused to acknowledge it and even fewer acted on that acknowledgement. "defeating" us (which, by definition of IQ gov boiled down to eliminating us/pushing as many of us out as possible by keeping the war going) took precedence over decency. Now, post-war, more yet has come to light and a majority of the stuff IQ did (yes, not all is public yet even now) is public record. Yet still, there are elements within ex-IQ who remain unapologetic and continue to whitewash their actions. That is why camelot (among other alliances) is given a hard time. George and Arthur are held held (partially) accountable for camelot's decision(s) to support IQ, and as I said, this thread could be a small first step to addressing that, if followed up. Unfortunately, Epi's behavior to date floors any credibility Arthur's heartfelt post may have. The excuse that "some people take longer to adjust" does not really fly when the only adjustment needed is to "stop defending shitty actions". I suppose, as an official reaction from t$ to the OP: @Azazel @King Arthur - I think you guys already knew where t$ stood prior to last night, given our private interactions over the past 3 months. If you want to move forward, i'm willing to talk and you're free to dm me. Until I see more however, I remain sceptic. 2 1 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 11 hours ago, King Arthur said: I don't think this has really been stated publicly yet, but we feel that as an alliance, it’s about time we came forward with this. This is going to be a rather long post, apologies ahead of time. Camelot has never held a reputation to be “jealous” of; we’ve been known to be one of the more “immature” alliances. Camelot was started from the ground up, by members that much of the game already disliked or shunned. Over time, we grew a niche under BK/IQ where we would essentially attack who they asked, but we also attacked on our own whims. BK protected us and as long as we did what they asked we had significant free reign, with negligible consequences. In GW14 we helped IQ initially, backed their storyline and defended them. They were our allies, and quite frankly, our only means of survival at that point in time. As the leader of Camelot, I feel it is time to apologize sincerely for the actions that I, my government, and any of my members took. Looking back, we should have recognized the red flags and taken a more stoic stance on ending the war earlier. For not doing that, and contributing to the irreparable harm that carrying on has caused many alliances and the community, I am truly sorry. PnW lost a lot of amazing people. The game lost a significant amount of players, but most importantly, community members. To those who have turned away from the game with no chance of return due to our actions, I apologize deeply. To the alliances that we had forced to fight for almost a year straight, I truly wish we could have ended that war earlier. However, I have the utmost respect for those who were able to keep their communities strong and stable throughout that. We owe the survival of this game and community to people like you and your members. To the alliances like North Point, who we screwed over and plotted against, I hope we can make it up to you and move forward. To those we are working with and have given us a second chance, I can’t find a way to put how grateful I am into words. When IQ left, they asked us to leave the game with them, but we refused. We did not expect at any point that our actions would ever be forgotten. Or that they would be forgiven overnight, instead we began changing our focus internally. We hope that if we can change ourselves for the better, everyone would recognize our effort and over time, we could heal the wounds created by our actions and forge a brighter path in the future. So once again I, and the entirety of Camelot, am truly sorry for those our actions have affected. Props to you for making this, nevertheless, there will still be people who are most likely going to hate you guys and there are also others who are going to jump on the bandwagon of hatred against you guys simply because they are sheeps that dont have the balls of having their own opinion. I myself am neutral and I believe this is a good first step for you guys, however, if anyone is going to get rolled after the NAP ends its most likely going to be you guys and I think we all know why, just depends on how you guys would take it. Anyways, good job on apologizing. It takes alot of balls to do that. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we change that? It's also not true, Vein was bossing Camelot around if anything. Look, how about "Mythic the alliance with a core of ex-Cam High-Gov that enjoyed kicking ass and thus coordinated hits with actually not only Cam but also the rest of IQ in exchange for fat mercenary cash that enabled one of them to go up to even city 37"? I think that's much better. 16 minutes ago, katashimon13 said: no one is doubting raiders capabilities and willingness to roll people 🙄 Maybe, but your point was that we like Camelot too much to see them get hurt. 16 minutes ago, katashimon13 said: and arthur can be as the nicest person on earth and it wouldnt matter in this context due to what behavior they have tolerated for years "subordinate"(s) rawr It kinda does since people think Arthur may turn out to be Leo 2.0 and wants to repeat the whole thing or something.
