I think a comment is just about justified here to clarify a few matters.
Firstly, To try to shed some light upon PITA's claims that I misled them with techs & wall levels when they supported me, which they claim is when diplomacy started to deteriorate. When they supported me, they supported me after onfire had already hit me. When onfire launched I tagged all trains & assumed nukes would be hitting only those villages to try & ensure they got through with their nobles. So when I mailed some surrounding PITA allies I would like to complement the general willingness of most of them, however I told them the walls at the time, some villages they supported which later got hit by a second wave of attacks from onfire had lower walls than I originally stated to them as some villages had been hit by nukes which I had not anticipated.
Secondly, I actually informed Dunn of everything that was going on between myself & the onfire leadership. We initially intended on rejecting their merge proposal which Dunn knew about but after we discovered a few things regarding shave's future intentions it became the logical choice to secure our future. I skyped Dunn while I was in talks with my council, he wasn't online. I then mailed him asking whether he was online when we decided we were going to a accept which was a few hours later, again not online.
The merge went ahead, I worked the next day, got home to find Dunn mailing me angrily that I'd not let him know about any of this. After trying to calm him down & explain it to him, he ignored all I said, dropped all diplomacy with us.
Next I would like to reiterate what reece wrote above that we had an intention to try & provide a future for the 14 players we deemed worthy of our help that had proved themselves as members anyone would be happy to play alongside. 4 of the 14 went to freemen joining their friends as their only real ties with BS were with reece & myself who were both leaving the world.
From the moment of our merge however hard we tried we had divisions within the tribe & the only thing holding them all together was Reece & myself. We had the K53 group who were constantly strengthening ties with their ~ONE~ friends, we had the old onfire leadership consistently demanding a war with PITA in the west because they were bored, we had the K64 main group of players from the original premade working the backsides off for the tribe, bar a few exceptions, & then we had the east side, which disregarding polemarch & The Three Amigos were absolute waste of spaces, who didn't report incomings, crumbled under any incomings, showed no ability or skill in any way & we just being used as meatshields. We made an appeal to both shave & Pita asking if they'd like to gain themselves quick total domination of the south by recruiting the 14 players that deserved a place in this world. We 14 had had enough of the rubbish within the tribe that should never have been invited, we would've worked wholeheartedly for whichever tribe & they said they'd discuss it. We were totally open with them of our opinions & situation & then 24 hours later with no warning, attacks started rolling in, then we were informed. I can understand why they did so, but they missed out on some top players, quick domination of the south & have now given themselves a slightly slowed growth as they work their way through K54. Once I'd seen this, myself & some of the skype orginal premade council were not prepared to put hard work in for a month or two slowly watching the tribe fall, so with me quitting & reece leaving the world, the BS fragments were not going to hold together & look what happened, it split. All I can say is all the respect I held for Pita's council was abused & respect I showed them was not reciprocated. But my commendments go to Bee as duke of shave for his ability, reasonable openness & deserved position at the top end of this world. But all my hopes for this world are with ~ONE~ purely for the reason that I wish to see the Pita council punished for their lack of respect.
Lastly, I would like to clearly state that we never had any talks what so ever with light about a merge. They stated the idea to one of our members & somehow it got spread round this world that we had gone to them asking for it & second that we were considering it as a real option. Both of which are total rubbish.
