I don't recall where I have insulted you personally except for when you not so graciously refused to acknowledge and update our milestone and I called you a bully. I don't actually hate anyone, not even in RL (I feel it's such a negative and draining feeling) so I doubt I would hate an online game name that I have never met. So yes, you are being too sensitive.
Good
As for my posts regarding Apoc, I have never made it a secret how little I thought of your game tactics. Whenever it was brought up in the UA chat, I always said the same thing - I think your mass recruiting was cowardly and not in the spirit of this game.
We are no more or less guilty of recruiting then any other tribe (that's how tribes are formed). If we "mass recruited" it was in the form of tribes i.e. through diplomacy. If you find that tactic abhorrent then fine. Unfortunately I think you are missing a very important piece of the jigsaw and it is that very piece that has enabled Apoc and BA to prevail over MM and its (some time) allies.
Bottom line: The founding tribes of the UA have been able (with a couple of notable exceptions) to make promises to other tribes and stick to them (despite a lot of disparaging commentary on this forum). This was so successful that the initial (many) tribes have long considered themselves brothers in arms, allowing free transfer of players between each other and continuous consolidation down to the (soon to be) 2 Apoc tribes + 1 BA.
Clearly you don't get it. That's OK. You have your approach to the game, I have mine. You hate mine. I think yours is only half the story. My approach, on this occasion, has prevailed. That has been due, in no small part, to the energetic efforts of the leadership to make it work. If you can't respect anything else, you should respect that.
The only idea that sparked my interest was the concept of 1 super tribe. If you had of done that, whether you had won or lost, I would have then had something to admire.
It's coming if I get my way - and I generally do ;-)
Why do you think people admired -MM- and even Gkan before that? We didn't play to win, we actually played this game in style. We had fun but at the same time displayed skills and achieved milestones that you know nothing about.
I have to say, as an outsider, I don't admire MM because it was a "fun" tribe. I admired it because it comprised a number of very effective players and, for a long time, was an incredibly effective fighting unit. Enough said.
On the "fun" front, I think (outside Apoc of course!) Legion probably had some of the most charismatic (not to mention eccentric) players on the server i.e. if there was a prize for fun, it would be Legion, not MM, that would get it.
Nobody that fought on this world will ever consider your recruitment tactics as a great and worthy achievement but we do certainly acknowledge it.
I'm not sure what that means. You acknowledge it as in it was effective or simply that it happened? I will assume the former, in which case you've come a long way to responding positively to my earlier point.
Btw, it's not like I have never complimented someone in an enemy tribe. I always made a point to write to someone that launched an exceptional attack or op on me or ones that defended like little fiends. Which of those did you guys do?
See Bella, you could have left the last sentence off and emerged as a lot more rounded person. The last sentence just makes you sound bitter, resentful and mean :-(
