I think the big blob of Phoenix losses in K67 is me
When I stopped playing I tried to get out cleanly by gifting and clearing villas in a controlled manner, but it didnt take long for everyone to get wind of my absence, and then the cluster * commenced!
I logged back in occasionally to try and help my old buddies out by clearing villas and mailing them lists, but then it became clear that I didnt really know who was on my side any more.
That's what ultimately ruined W18 for me. The politics around the MM and INF merger/coup/backstab (whatever you might like to call it)
Suddenly all the players I had fought alongside were choosing their new side - some in new MM, some in VST, and then some joining APOC spin offs (i may be wrong but thought the forresters were a mix of people who were previously enemies). I was just a bit upset that the last year or so seemed to have been a complete waste of time, and all our hard work was for nothing.
Anyway, I stopped logging in, and I think my villas are mostly taken now.
I came back to the forums to see if I could get an idea of what was going on, and saw this was the only thread with new posts, so im sorry if this is a little off topic.
Feel free to discredit my entire post by saying I nobled a barb in Feb 2009 or something. I post here very rarely, so didnt bother making a goodbye thread when i left, but for what its worth - goodbye people!!
I will carry on with my W23 account (and also getting pwned on W46 with this account!)
Maybe I will bump into some old friends again in the future.
