For the record;
The possibility of a merge of CRASH into Pirana/-DIE- was raised by me in our Council Forum on 28.09.2011 at 00:03 (I copied this from the top line of the forum thread).
So everyone that "knew" about it before then only thought they knew about it because at that point it wasn't happening.
I hardly ever post because most of the stuff that I read here just makes me shake my head (without a clicked restart) with embarrassment but for those that are interested (and those that are not but have read this far anyway):
1. I am disappointed CRASH didn't work out
2. I am partly responsible for that because I failed to motivate many of them enough to participate and spent too much time looking after my own account
3. Crash failed because of too many inactives and quitters
4. Most of the inactives and quitters ended up that way because of sustained and organised attacks from womble, they deserve credit for that.
5. I believe womble to be the tribe to beat and have been for a very long time. They are a well run and well organised tribe.
6. Even if womble would have me, which I doubt they would, I could not join them as it would mean attacking my friends and I value my friends more than winning this game
7. So far everyone I have talked to in Pirana seems to be nice and I am pleased to be with them. It was the right decision for me to join them and I am pleased that so many of my friends have agreed to come with me.
8. If we can get organised, I think we can beat womble. It's a big "if" but you never know, stranger things have happened. I genuinely think we have a good chance.
9. Well done to Robin for being, by far, the best player that I have met.
I will let you all get back to flaming each other, or perhaps you will now all turn on me. At least it will give you something to do.
I think you are all forgetting that this is a game. It is meant to be fun. Many of you make it far to personal for my liking. If any of you would like to continue this discussion with me then feel free to mail me ingame.
