Ah hell, I really can't help myself, can I? You know, I originally came back to give JP some props for an amusing declaration, and found myself reading some of whats been posted lately, and I simply cannot hold my tongue any longer.
So here's the truth.
It all began before this world was even created. We had planned to create a premade and knew exactly where we would start. But we also foresaw enemy tribes possibly rising all around us, so we directed a group of elite, intelligent players to all join at certain times, to begin at certain points around the world. These were our sleeper cells. Their purpose: to infiltrate tribes around the world and to work their way into a trusted position, to influence those tribes in our favor.
Six months ago, I had an epiphany, I realized that the newly founded Green would be the kind of tribe that would rise to power, and would pose a threat to Decide. So when the tribe was instated, I ordered our two eastern agents, Gardez and rcarlson to join. You see, even back then, I knew Dancing Bear would go MIA in time for our war six months later, and through a series of manipulations, that not only would one of my agents reach a "trusted" position in the tribe, but that both would become actual Dukes! The plan? To wait until Decide would be attacked by THE and BD to suddenly drop Green, leaving it helpless in an effort to scramble back together!
It would have been a success if not for those THE guys, and their stupid dog!
But this is not over! Oh no, our agents are everywhere! So consider this ladies and gentlemen: my genius is such that I orchastrated this Green fiasco half a year ago, imagine what I could also have put into effect!
Tremble! Tremble before my awesomeness!!!
Bwahahahahahaha!!!
(
Hint: I am being sarcastic, utilizing satire to demonstrate how ridiculous this accusation of THE and BD's is. For this to have been possible, Decide would have had to do exactly as I described above, which is downright ludicrous. For those interested in knowing the truth as I know it, read the spoil.)
[spoil]For those interested, Gardez contacted Decide with terms of surrender, claiming Green had gone largely inactive and had a lot of sat accounts, and that they did not feel confident that they could stand up to Decide's military for much longer. Decide did not trust her at first, but figured it would not likely be a ruse if the tribe was disbanded, so after some consideration (and asking my opinion, which is how I knew any of this to begin with), they agreed to take in the members Green's leadership said were active. They did not agree to any method of Green's disbanding, and knew nothing about it.
It was not Decide's responsibility to disband Green, it was Green's leadership, and as far as I can tell, they should not be held in ill account for disbanding, but rather, in their methods of doing so. It is the responsibility of the tribe to make executive decisions like that, as well as the right. The only thing they can be held accountable for is how it was done. I will say that if what I have seen is true, that Green did not properly inform its tribe in advance, then that is deplorable, but I have no way of knowing, and truly don't care.
Now, THE/BD can blame Decide for having those players in her, but to me, all of THE/BD's efforts to find blame anywhere they can with Decide simply looks desperate. But hey, that's just me. Now I know you are going to say, but Decide did it too! And yes, they did, but you guys are the top dog! Seriously, you gotta set an example here!
So you people of the PnP can choose to believe the conspiracy theory, or you can choose to believe that Decide and inactivity were the downfall of Green, that's your choice. Personally, I agree with Wrath, Occam's Razor denotes the latter, but whatever the case, this is the truth as I know it.
I have to give props to THE, as I wrote, you guys play this game the way it should be played. 80% skill, 20% dirt, and 100% conviction and tenacity. Your use of spies is nothing to be ashamed of (c'mon guys, you were caught fair and square, even Gicu can admit guilt when being caught about the using in game message crap), as I fully condone the use of them (and if the above story is to be believed, apparently I condone the use of sleeper cells as well! :lol
. But I will state now for the record that
Decide still has what it takes to win, as long as they respond in kind.
Now, the question isn't whether I can stand up to the torrential reaction this post will have (hell, Dung Fu proved that :icon_biggrin
, its whether I can keep myself from giggling when I read what you guys will have to say, or if I can even be arsed to check it, which is more than likely going to be the case. So this may be your chance guys, respond to this and you may actually get a last word on Atraeus! Lol!
Nevertheless, my thanks to THE for giving me a reason to taste PnP's succulent propaganda one more time. Ahhh! Damn... I really enjoy this game waaaaaay too much!)[/spoil]
