You know it is funny to me how you start throwing all these tirades about me leaving Venom, yet I was one of the last to do so, and I did so simply because I wanted to play the game with the friends that you in Venom leadership had made to feel unwelcome in Venom. When it comes right down to it, I still have friends in Venom, players that know my decision was made for the right reasons, and because you helped me on one siege during my time in Venom gives you no added merit. I had helped venom enormously during my time in the alliance, and when I left I left with the intentions of keeping things on good terms. Venom leadership took my leaving as some sort of slap in the face. Their choice.
Does leaving your alliance somehow mean I betrayed you? Did my actions after I left consist of any form of betrayal before I was attacked by these same people? The players that made up Venom leadership consist of some of the most egotistical and socially abhorrent players I have yet to come across in any game. it was common place for you to belittle your own players, and quite frankly if you had of listened to me you wouldn't have had all the issues you did have with the merge, instead you bullied and threatened the members to join, invited players I specifically told you would not help in an effort to convince others to join before we were ready, and utilized Dawson, to conduct a propaganda campaign within our alliance, a player who although had leadership rights was in no way a leader to anyone but Rogue, (and possibly Nilvas) who if you remember pretty much left the game as soon as Dawson decided to push the merge date before the players were ready to do so.
You are the architects of your own undoing , and that more than anything, has made this one of my most enjoyable servers to date, because even today you continue to lash out at me and other ex-RUSE members for simply choosing to enjoy the game together. Yet you fail to see your own hubris.
interestingly, it seems you have decided to brand me a traitor not for my actions against you, but rather for choosing not to play the game with you. I'm sorry you feel that me leaving is somehow a personal slight to you Miknel. I didn't intend it to be, it has just turned out to be a happy circumstance given your reaction and behavior.
What is most telling, is that Venom leadership in general feel that any player that ever joined you past, present, or future is your property and you somehow have claim over their cities should they leave regardless of how long they were part of your alliance. Then you attempt to goad them into rage or guilt them into quitting if they at some point see you for what and who you are - with self admitted pre-meditated intent you do this. You tried to do this to Ledahlia, one of the nicest people I have ever played with, you slandered everyone that left and now I see some of those same players you slandered have joined you on Taras, heck you even invited me to join you on Taras as well lol, you see your hypocrisy has no bounds. Does that make me the traitor? No, it makes me smart, and you... you. I'm happier with my end of the deal. You can still be the a.s.s. all you like.
