Well my lifelong friend DaWolf has called me to the podium, so i will to the best of my ability give as comprehensive an explanation as i possibly can regarding the scandalous and frankly tragic event that occurred earlier today.
It all started 2 months ago when a player named drunkenmaster94 joined infect. A man with more hair than honor and eyes as blue as the ocean sea. Things were going good in Infect. Everyone was happy and well, the grass was green. But then something happened. An idea for tribewide challenges was initiated. Challenges over flags. These challenges varied, but where mainly centered upon who could win the flags for the daily awards. And challenges seemed healthy. But these challenges gave birth to an ugly, unlovable child called gambling. First it was gambling for nothing more than bragging rights, next it was a few resources or nukes. Then things began to go overboard. Some people saw a problem developing and decided it was enough and so drunkenmaster94 was dismissed. However, the silent majority prevailed and the gambling continued at a deadly pace. The point when things really started going downhill is when omar (nMe.) got too confident and lost his great grandmothers ashes to keith (rphockey) over an attacker of the day award. Besides having to part with something so dear, he had to pay a pretty ridiculous shipping rate, which provoked his ire. And what do people do when they're angry after losing a bet? Yep, you guessed it, they gamble more and they up the odds. And so upped were the odds. Eventually positions/privs in the tribe were on the table (dukes, barons, etc). As you would imagine in this type of environment factions seemed to form and some of the bets were kept off the table from everyone. This is where the story turns dark my friends. I had won a challenge to get baron privs about a week ago, but i wasn't satisfied. I was hungry for more. A source (who's name i will not name) said there was a special daily challenge as part of the christmas event (which i hadn't taken the time to read up on) that featured an award for "booter of the day" -kick the most members from your tribe on a certain day to receive the award. That source told me that it was arch-dukeship on the table for the winner of the flag for that award on 12/18/13 and that is was a challenge known only by the current dukes. So i couldn't resist. I waited until the last hour of 12/18 and put on my best pair of boots and well, booted like everyone without discrimination or mercy. Only to find out the award was not real and i was the victim of a most cruel joke. A joke that led me into a regrettable action that the fine members of Infect seem not so easy to forgive. I am ashamed. To all of you I say: "Please forgive me! PLEAAAAAASE!!! I still love you"
