Over the past month or three I've come to lose all the respect I once had for my former tribe =RES=, and I hope to explain that to you just now.
I doubt any of you will care; but for those that do care and that have seen me flaming =RES= recently, this may help you to understand my reasoning.
First off, the border agreements with Storm. At first they were fine; a kind of 'you keep out of my pants, and I'll keep out of yours' agreement, and that was great. But then Storm started nobling in our sectors anyway and the leaders didn't do a damned thing about it. Sure, every now and then wIzd0m would tell us he would make sure it stopped, but did it? No.
After a while, the border agreement whitled down to Storm and RES 'agreeing' (and I use the term loosely. It was more like 'We're doing this so stfu) on Storm taking K60 for their own and boxing RES in completely. There were reasons given by wIz, one of which was 'It's your fault for not nobling fast enough'. Great, thanks for that, buddies.
I won't talk about the problems I had personally with the tribe, as most of them were brought on myself, with my relentless flaming of the (many) nubs in RES, but atleast I knew when to quit (no pun intended).
The next thing that made me lose respect was, after my departure from RES and my own level of activity plummetted, so did the overall activity of RES.

Look at all those zero's :icon_neutral:[/spoil]
After all, RES had once been, imo, one of the most active tribes around (though i may be confusing forum activity with productive activity). Now though, under the once unfathomably strong leadership from Tek, things seem to have slipped.
Third point:

Fourth, and finally;
It has come to my attention that the account 'Jewel Eyes' has been neglected to the point of it going barb. If you had known Jewel Eyes for who she was, you would have loved her; and you would have wanted the account to be immortalized. It'd be like Storm just letting the KristieDawn account go barb. Jewel was one of my few real friends in this game, and I know that there are many in RES that do like her (as well as many that don't - which is probably why me and her got along so well) too. I think the immortalization (forgive the expression) of accounts in RES does (or did) a lot for morale; for example the Shaneirishlad account and the Todner account; there has never been a time when those accounts have been out of RES, even when ownerless (apart from the time I took over Todner when Toddy took omen and I did a runner, but thats not the point).
So to sum up; RES was once the sole reason I played this game, but now the tribe I once loved is gone.
Thanks for reading.
