His fellow members were not spared from his conduct either. He has shown himself to be unworthy of our trust and support as an ally and was treated accordingly. Under's actions and words are his own and the elections results show that the alliance has chosen a different direction than Under's. You hate the man but then question the alliance for kicking him out? That shows you'd complain no matter what was done. Whether he was banned immediately or shortly before the NAP ended wouldn't matter. The message is that UPN will take responsibility for his actions no longer as they are unbecoming of a member of UPN. Peace talks ended over six months ago. The war had been going on for eight months prior to that. During all this time, I'm pretty sure I never heard a peep from a single other soul in UPN besides ST6, who was also pretty scuzzy in talks. Where were you all then? Why is this an issue only now? If it was an issue before, why has it taken so long to be addressed? You seem to be under this belief that the issues the community has with under are solely under's problem - they're not, they're yours too. Under was acting as a representative of your alliance. There were so many things you all could have done to address all of these issues months ago and to start interacting with the rest of the community again and yet it's only been radio silence. I don't know what went down and your alliance's business is your own in the end but how this looks is you throwing under out because you're afraid you might get smacked at NAP's end because of him. My thoughts on under himself are irrelevant to my thoughts on your handling of this situation; he was your person for six years and I'm not going to sugarcoat how poorly this reflects on you for unceremoniously dumping such a long standing member. They are two separate "complaints", as you say. 21 minutes ago, Axley said: my loyalty is and always has been to the alliance, not under. as for the straw that broke the camels back was his action last war mixed with the lack of transparency concerning info shared with his alliance Under was not your leader. If there was a transparency issue, it's your leader you should be looking at. At the end of the day, that's who's responsible for the direction of your alliance and the dissemination of information. (And honestly, you can't pretend you didn't know - the peace talks were plastered all over these forums.) Good luck with your new direction and in forging a new path. You'll need it.

Axley Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Ill take your luck but refute your point. Under and ST6 were gov at that point and they were expected to represent us. They failed and were removed from office at the next election. As for transparency it was questioned by several members repeatedly including myself. This change of gov should be seen as move in the right direction. Under may be related to the announcement in the sense he was one of the gov members replaced and the timing may seem suspect but this change was made with the intent to move forward as an alliance. Under's removal should been seen as signaling that even veteran members are not immune from the consequences of their actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing is too convenient to be getting rid of him in the fashion you did with 1 week left of the Non-aggression pact.

Your leader should have been aware of everything going on as that is his responsibility. If under and st6 were failing, if there was a lack of transparency, he should have been addressing it. The buck stops with him ultimately. I'd love to hear some responses from him on these questions and why things are only being addressed a week before the end of the NAP.

The election was called to make sure the Gov is an accurate reflection of UPN and to get us back on the right track. In any case, our actions will show much more than any words said here can. So thank you for your luck we will use it to show our intentions for the better because I can talk all night but frankly our actions should do the talking to avoid wasting either of our time further.

Nokia Rokia Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 My only question is how did The Former leader of OFA become FA as for Under i never really dealt with him and when i had access to the Coalition B coordinating channels i only saw BK,NPO,Camelot,Goons,GoG i did not see UPN, Acadia, TCW and lessor counter parts that belonged to COAL B sides for the Micro Leader who is now gov and Couped his own alliance stole its bank and ran away i again dont see any issue Every Single Alliance has a Toxic Person In Its Leadership That No One Wants To Deal With Largely Example Cooper from TKR and CitrusK From Whatever Micro He Is Leading Now Some People Find Me Toxic Its All Down To Perception And 90% Of ALL Old All Old Alliances Refuse To Treat New Alliances With Any Respect And Rather Make Fun Of em Without Remotely Talking To em Or Remotely Figuring Out How They Function Most Major Alliances Get SO Caught Up In Politics They Often Forget What Fun Is. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask me, I think the reason underlord was able to do what he did for so long was he was the source of information about what was going on ingame for a lot of the members. A member should be able to trust their allience gov to give them accurate information, as I found out fairly quickly during the war, this was not the case with Underlord. Its hard to know what someone is really up to when they can pick and choose what you know which is what seems to have happened. (This is just my opinion) Personally I lost faith in him during the war when I found out from some others what had gone on during peace talks. I can't speak for the whole allience. 4 hours ago, Axley said: my loyalty is and always has been to the alliance, not under. as for the straw that broke the camels back was his action last war mixed with the lack of transparency concerning info shared with his alliance Several of you were made aware of unders behavior half a year ago.

Popular Post Mitsuru Posted August 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) All I'm reading are excuses. You disliked Under's actions but reelected the Prime Minister again who was responsible for making Under a representative of your alliance during peace talks. Your Prime Minister was inactive due to irl issues but he and you all failed to replace him with someone who was not inactive and could've kept Under in check if it actually was such a concern to you. You were aware of what Under did but couldn't be bothered to speak up against it because he was your "source of information" basically coming down to the fact, that you were all just too lazy to inform yourself about Orbis and PnW and other alliances. (On a side note: Considering how condemnable you found his actions, you still believed that he was a good source of information? It did not dawn on you that he was presenting you a heavily skewed version of things considering that you were aware of how he was behaving during peace talks?) Let's be real here. For the past few years you were always able to stick to your alliance with Acadia because at the end of the day you could always hide behind the power that were NPO and BK. Just like the leadership of Acadia and Polaris, this whole thing completely went to your head and you thought yourself in a most comfortable position where you were calling the shots. This then failed because your big protectors were all involved in an elaborate cheating scheme. So what follows is white peace and six months of peace during which you all went radio silent. After six months of said peace during which you had plenty of time to make amendments, you then drop the person you consistently rallied behind (a lack of speaking out or taking consequences does not exclude you from guilt) in an effort for a last minute publicity stunt. And then you try to "explain" it away in good old fashioned IQ style with nonsensical excuses like "Our PM was away for 14 months" and "We only just had an election for the first time in five years". Anything I forgot? Edit: Also the fact that matt let's you all now take the heat instead of speaking up himself here really says a lot about his leadership in all honesty.

We fought like everyone else. Do not insult my intelligence. As for cheating? NPO faced the music for what they did. If we were knowingly complicit in the cheating we would of faced similar punishment. As for being aware of what under was doing in peace talks? screenshots of logs that never showed the whole log just snips that pained under bad without the context of the whole conversation were taken with a grain of salt. when you main source of information is from the enemy that's what happens. My message was never that we were free of guilt but that our coming actions would show our new direction. Under was questioned by his own alliance during the entire war. we didn't speak out? Do not insult my intelligence. We did. it fell on deaf ears. As a result changes were made. no matter what I say you will paint it as an excuse.

In spite of what you're claiming here, I can't say that seems like you felt too strongly about Under's behavior during the war and afterwards. Six months and an MIA leader coming back to get things going, and at the tail end of a NAP? Nobody, and I mean *nobody* seemingly trying to be acting leader in the interim so to do all the things an AA leader does, and not just handle the Under thing?

What Under was questioned about was why peace talks kept breaking down. The war was dragging on and everybody was feeling the stress. I repeatedly asked Under for logs of the peace talks but was met with silence. The first time i requested them he responded with ill see what i can do. then he never acknowledged any of my further requests. As for reaching out to other alliances I hung out in other discord servers to try to get a feel for whats going on because Under refused to give us more. Under let his power go to his head and it alienated him from UPN and led to a lack of trust in him. I admit the timing is questionable. but the decision to ban Under was made after the election was over. As for an alibi i've offered no such thing. in fact I openly admit I should of done more. It was my motivation for running for Gov. I want to see us back on the right track an i hope to help us do so by getting more involved.

I realize UPN has burned a lot of bridges and I want to work to rebuild them in manners beneficial to both sides.

To clerify what I ment, those who questioned Under and had information outside of his skewed reports did not think he was reliable, however from my observation this was not the majority of members. Many members relied on Under for information for one reson or another. Those of us that did have outside information would protest but most of the time we would either be ignored or sometimes argued down. Underlord was funtionally leader until Matt returned, upon return plans were made to soft reboot the allience; elections were held for the low gov (not matt, underlord ect). Underlord was removed following a disagreement and the new gov was made official. Thats a rough timeline from my perspective, I admit I do not have the full story. Either way what can we do to show you we mean business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
