So quite frankly, I have been staying away from the public forum. Due to recent events, I feel the need to say my piece thus breaking the silence.
For those among you, who do not know who I am or where I play, I go by War. I currently play acebren in NN. The reason I am deciding to post is to acknowledge NN's demise and my utter displeasure of it. I feel the public has the right to know exactly what and why, because at this point in time, I view the acts of many of those quitting at this very hour within NN, acts of cowardice.
This story, begins a few days ago.
As you all know, Martin also known as Twodeadly in NN was banned for logging into Varomina. Due to rules I can't go further than that, but he has refused to accept his punishment claiming innocence, when clearly the mods have said otherwise. This ultimately set off a chain of events in the recent days on top of the past defections that has made NN implode nearly overnight. Martin could easily unban himself and continue on for the sake of the tribe, but he has refused. Now, others are following him such as Ericult who agreed he would stay and fight until w100 or circumstances changed. Earlier today however, Ericult posted in our forums he would be deleting. Mind you, Ericult is not bleeding any villages, just simply throwing it all away and NN's northern front with him and Martin (aside from the Felons side).
On top of this, NN's own leadership has given up aside from Miccull who I value dearly, but NN has gone beyond dumb. OPs within NN, have grinded to non-existence with leaderships lack of morale and haven't bothered to inform the players that they have given up. Out of the past few weeks, numerous troop count mails went out, but only 1 north op went out. This one was on none other than varden, by just 3 players, finball, dwklouisville, and myself (acebren). All other accounts then got another troop count CM from Thee just hours after our op. Talk about attentive leadership hey? Nothing since has materialized as leadership has quit and instead talked of joining other worlds and co-playing each other and farewell.
The actions of a few, disheartened and other egoistic players in NN have burned those of us who would prefer the honorable way of fighting it out and letting the best team win. Mind you, there still is a core of players who are staying and this post is not intended to harm them, but to show the public what is happening and our displeasure and in my own personal opinion, humiliation. This post however, will likely result in my departure or dismissal should NN's leadership find the balls to do it from NN itself. Not that I particularly care at this point.
Regardless, I will fight on. Fight against whom however remains to be seen and at this point I doubt I'm the only player on the Felons side of the fence to feel that way. I am not asking for sympathy, Vodka has done their job and that is all that can be expected. Though some things as humiliating as this within NN I feel cannot go without saying and I have no remorse over posting this information about those within NN's ranks who would rather delete than share loyalty with one another to the end should it really be the end. NN itself had this not occurred, in my opinion was not beaten. But there is a very clear line between cowardice and being plain lazy vs staying to the end regardless of what is being thrown at you.
Vodka, your truly lucky to have leadership like you do.
Sincerely,
War
