I just want to post a humble but I hope clear message about the recent ongoings and suchlike. I never post on the external forums, I dislike the atmosphere threads such as this one all too often create, however I feel like many members of INT, myself included have not had their voice heard, and Valour/Schism nor for that matter ModWar perhaps have all the information. If you don't know me I have been playing TW since world 1 so before anyone comes at me with some ridiculous epeen, I really couldn't care less, and no, it was not under the Doydoydar account. In addition there will be no Tl;Dr, if you cannot be bothered to read, you should not be posting, if you do post, it should not be anything to do with this one as I may well have already touched on any points you might make. Also for any douche who tries to say that in any area that I am brown nosing, I am not, I give credit where credit is due, even they do happen to be enemies so go and find a bridge to hide under trolls.
Right, i'll begin.
Tribalwars is a game of 2 major things, in my opinion. A game of knowledge and execution of that knowledge, and all too often, as is the case we now find ourselves in, a war of words, lies and backstabbing(oh hai spies). I know which I prefer to use, (that would be the former) however it is also just as effective to use the second if that is your desired playstyle. What i'm trying to say is, by lying compulsively and trying to keep ones' back constantly safe, you can be successful. Rampage17 (I mean Paul here, I do not know of his co-players, they seemed genuine while they lasted) has been very successful so far, he has manipulated many people into loyalty with him, I am not calling anyone who follows him weak, you know who you are guys and you know the respect I have for you guys as players and people IRL. However I think this is going to be your final battle Paul, why? You cannot run forever, Valour are run with relative ruthless efficiency and look, its worked. Capsule Corp I do not know at all really, but he has done a very good job of steering a tribe into top position and to keep them there, whilst still maintaining integrity within Valour (to my knowledge) and capitalising on other tribes with internal troubles and gobbling them up. Rampage caused an early war with Valour. Lets face it, it was inevitable eventually, diplomacy only lasts so far in this game (i.e. a bit of backstabbing has to take place, but this early on and for so long? Bit boring really actually), only one tribe can win so it is naive and down right stupid to honestly believe you can be friendly with everybody for the entirety of a world, equally at this still relatively early stage diplomacy is key and should last at least some way, at the end of the day this makes the game a little more fun. At least in my humble opinion.
"A well, Devlin - i told you what i had to say - lying isn't a part of me... it has been done." Quote from Rampage on this very thread today. The irony is crushing, I am stifling laughter. Are you for real? I am not going to put all the messages and evidence I have to support the fact that you have lied to almost everybody, in fact you must be so embroiled in your own lies you don't even know whether to trust yourself. Anyway the purpose of this is not to smear anyone particularly, just to clear a few things up. I think the next few days will be very interesting to see how things pan out, I would be VERY surprised if Valour honestly choose to take Rampage in, either as a basher tribe, or into the main tribe. Why? Because a tribe that has managed to get into the position it is in now (the statistics speak for themselves, they're impressive in comparison with other top tribes vying for first place) is one I imagine maintain a level of common sense, not to mention the fact that they do not need Rampage, they could easily crush him and his little tribe that he has since created (VB), its quite cute actually how you think you can just shove your head a good few inches, perhaps even feet up the Valour leaderships' arses and still have any dignity :icon_razz:. I'm relatively sure they probably aren't too happy with you up there, I imagine it to be quite uncomfortable? I might email elton john and ask actually, ill save that for another time, though.
Even back in K41C, Titan and his dealings with Escape he was shifty, he was constantly lying and doctoring supposed skype mails and ingame mails (Notice how he very rarely forwards mails directly?) and I am certain this will carry on until the day this world is closed. It does not take a genius to figure him out, although he is skilled at manipulation and is very believable, props to you for that, I honestly thought you had changed following the fall of Escape and TITAN and the merge that we oversaw. In other words, this more directly to Valour and anybody else who honestly (such a rare thing as of late) believes Rampage will follow up on his word; he won't, in short. His already decimated and laughable reputation should be enough to deter even the most cumbersome and gullible player, but just in case I can provide evidence for any query you may have, as long as it is relevant, I have the information available and if it is worth your while. As I said earlier i'm not on a smear campaign and I will not be spamming crap about the forums, this god damn essay is long enough, I've nearly run out of awful 80's dance music to listen to and the mountain dew is nearly all gone! :O
Anyhow back to INT. Djnelson does not need to tell anyone how experienced he is, you can look at his W17 stats and see for yourself. However it is not just as a player I think he excels, as a leader, he possess the qualities to fulfil this roll and is able to empathise to a degree that I think enables him to lead with real conviction and efficiency. Something that Rampage sadly lacked, in fact the countless "yeah erm guys you all hate me do u want me 2 leave?" or "u all hate me i wont lead anymor i will just leave just tell me" posts and circulars were both sad and indeed concrete proof that you just aren't cut out to fill the roll of a leader, nor even be a member of the council. In terms of the future of INT? Well I think this will be very interesting, the next few days like I have said will determine the fate of us and our members, perhaps individually we will have to go our separate ways, but I won't be satisfied unless I know there is nothing more we could have done, diplomatically and with sheer military might. I have faith in Dj, and I have faith in the integrity and loyalty of our current INT members. Whatever we choose to do in terms of diplomacy or what not I have absolute confidence in Dj, and the rest of the council.
Right I feel i've got a nice ton of sh1t off my chest, might need a shower now though. Hopefully something positive will come out of the next few days and there will be a continuation of this interesting turn of events. After all without drama, the game isn't near as entertaining
however it's a little tiresome when you're caught up in the middle of it.
Hoping you enjoy your evening/morning whatever time zone you're on, I'll leave you with this link, for when you're waiting for that damn train you're tagged as noble speed, but some lazy guys didn't update the Attack ID during the early hours and you cannot be certain the tag is correct,
