Do my eyes deceive me? Did our lovely little Destiny come slithering out from under their rock to condemn their tribe?
You should be more careful, Chris. Your tribe, if you wish to consider it one, seems to be getting more and more frustrated with how they are treated under fire.
How many have you lost this week? What delightfully wicked stories have you come up with for why it occurred? Have you blamed all of Regime for your tiny little mishaps and vanished accounts? Have you sat down and had a good long look at what you have become, then worked toward a solution?
Or am I lurking in every shadow, hiding behind every terrible thing that befalls you? Am I the reason for your inactivity? Am I the explanation for your inability to effectively sit each other? Am I the cause of your apathy toward all but a meager handful of players that are in need?
Forgive me; those are foolish questions. This is Destiny, the tribe that planted a dagger in the back of every dear relation they held in this world then sulked when it did not get them the prize they so clearly think they have earned. Nothing I say will change the well crafted victim complex you have built up to justify your actions. So there is no reason for me to ask: the answer to everything is yes:
what is befalling Destiny now is all because of Regime.
Our pretty patchwork princess, the victims of a world that rightfully belonged to them. The honorable, faithful, loyal tribe that has been struck down by the villains that did horrible things to them.
Like sit them. Like support them. Like defend them.
And so I shall not burden you with the horrors of reality: of the terrors of facts and truth.
But, since you did ask a few questions, I, being ever the humble servant of our benevolent victors, feel obligated to do your bidding and answer those questions.
So shall we begin?
You know what destiny did that regime never did? Treated our ally with the respect they deserved. They fought hard by our side yet and we acknowledged that. TBH considering we'd been whipping your asses for months we decided it was time to make our marriage official since we'd been allies for months.
How short a memory from the quick of wit. Regime never treated Destiny with respect? Hybrid and Foc are quite possibly the epitome of respect and good grace. I doubt you will be able to convince anyone that your relationship with Regime started with Hybrid's foot on your neck and ended with his talons in your chest.
And, as has already been made very clear, Destiny did not respect Sin. They mocked them, jeered them, and scorned them privately. Even Amanda knew that Sin was considered a means to an end - not an actual ally. And in the end, you did not take in Sin because they had treated you so kindly. You did it because Regime would not die fast enough and you simply wanted the world to be over.
Lets talk about the players who left: Hodgy, Vlad, DP & incoming impact.
But here's something they all have in common; they are selfish. They left their tribemates for a selfish reason & will now pay the price because of it.
Why yes, let's talk about them. What was selfish about their reason for leaving? They did not leave the tribe to join Regime: they had privately discussed a NAP with Regime "if" they decided to leave. They did not ask to join and, given the state of the world, they had every reason to believe that walking away from Destiny was a death sentence. So why was it selfish?
They had been lied to repeatedly by a duke that believed that she could keep her pets on a tight leash so long as she strung them along about her true intentions. She talked about warring Sin; she made plans to war Sin, but she did not have the spine to war Sin. She knew it and so she played her cards the only way she knew how: yet another merger for yet another attempt to win the world without lifting a finger.
Shortly before posting up the "poll" to "vote" to take in a "select few deserving players" in Sin, she had told at least one of the deserters that there would be a war. She strung her players along to try to please everyone and was shocked when it didn't work.
We embraced them because we took pity on their plight. Not because they begged, not because we had to, not because of some master plan. And it should be very clear that there was no master plan in place: no one that left the tribe was stacked by Regime, no one that left the tribe had placed stacks where they should have to fend off Destiny. This was not a calculated move: it was a move by a group of players that felt they had been duped and did not want to be part of it.
Would rather lose their accounts than be part of it.
They have shined with us. I have seen no selfishness. But some players do better in one tribe over another. So perhaps they just hadn't found their real home yet.
There is no integrity in leaving your tribe only dishonor.
How many players in Destiny walked away from their past tribes for greener grass? How many abandoned ship to get where they are today? How many tribes has ETN been in? If we judge a player by them leaving their tribe, then beware of the glass house you live in because the stones you throw will only end in ruin.
The patchwork princess mocking others for leaving a tribe for a new one. My goodness, you know how to put a smile on someone's face.
What there is disgrace in is treating your allies poorly
I agree. And now you will suffer for what you have done.
Not to mention most recently MOTR? Can't win fairly so you gotta hijack accounts? Where's the honour in that?
How good you are to me; how wonderful you are. I was politely hiding your shame but here you are, airing your dirty laundry and allowing me to tell the tale of your latest betrayal.
You are such a charmer. And here I thought Destiny didn't care.
So welcome to the Tale of MotR
There were two players on MotR, but only one had time to play: Ita. He was busy and so he sent his sit to Destiny, asking them to take care of him while he was away. He told them when he would be back and away he went.
During his departure, MotR was opped rather successfully by Regime after a rather unsuccessful op done on his target. The account bled heavily and Destiny grew tired of defending it so they did what anyone would expect them to do when things became hard: merge. Conor merged all of those delicious villages into other Destiny accounts.
As he was doing this, Ita returned to find that not only was his account in shambles and a fraction of the size it was when he left, but that Destiny was eating the villages that already remained.
Ita was always the butt of the joke in Destiny, and was so frustrated that he had left their chat. So to come back to discover that on top of everything else, they were force-internalling him without even asking him first infuriated him.
He kicked them out, put in a Support ticket about the sit abuse, then contacted Regime to vent his frustrations. Ita had always been close to some of the players in Regime, and he needed someone to talk to.
Regime helped him snipe some of the attacks headed his way, then sat his account to help him defend against the rest. Ita was furious, however at no time did Regime have access to the Destiny forum, nor did Ita give Regime access to his mail. He just wanted to be defended: against his own tribe.
In response, Destiny hurled insults at Ita, insisted that this was a Regime "hijack," and vowed to get him kicked off since he wasn't the "rightful owner." The rightful owner stood by Ita's side after hearing the story from Ita and from Destiny.
In response to that, Destiny has been howling about how Regime clearly abused some sort of secret mod pact we use when we want something done, and has told anyone who will listen how the account was "stolen."
To steal an account is to take something that does not belong to you. We have taken nothing. Ita was betrayed by his tribe because of their ineptitude and laziness and yet again, they are shocked that someone might be upset at them for it.
Instead of apologizing they launch abuses; instead of helping Ita recover his losses, they mock him. Instead of owning up to what they did, they blame the entire fiasco on Regime, as if no one would be able to refute the truth that they have invented.
Welcome to Destiny.
Now please, oh please, bring up the horrible things we did to the PNDK account. Explain to the class how Regime has hijacked this one: an account that was owned by a player who was part of Destiny's creation.
I would love to hear exactly how Regime stole that account.
