I am going to post despite knowing in a "Ben/Dest" dominated forum, I will not be very respectfully received. However here is my story. I will attempt to keep it as unbiased as possible.
For those of you who do not know me, my name is War. I was one of those who followed Ronin several weeks after Jen and the others had joined. I did not join immediately following w70, I was at the time very focused in on w78. But, after time I was dragged in because of so many I knew joining Regime and I couldn't stand being left out. I was placed on Vahtos and immediately thrown into the heat of Regimes darkest days, no I don't consider the final days of Regime its darkest. Things were a lot rougher at the time of the turn around for Regime. I joined Vahtos, and was immediately confronted by the player known as cwolff. Cwolf at that time was inside my core in K33 and eating everything and everyone around me. It took some time, we opped the account multiple times and were stacked out. Eventually we began to switch targets, which led to the assault on K34 (Emilsen) and later dvvbs and made gains. My account then turned north to assist jammyjames who at the time was getting gangbanged by Stitch, killerdan, and a few others who's names I forget. We eventually pushed the K24 line to K25 where eventually we were halted by the new players Ben brought in.
My time in Regime was always an uphill battle. I fought hard despite what the enemy thinks or says of my efforts. I am proud to be Regime. In time the more intimate details of Regimes downfall may be known to the public, in time. However, we went from a tribe that was classified dead by many to a tribe that changed the view of the entire tw community and inspired others like the new Ben crew to do exactly the same thing we did to the old crew. It was Regime who started the trend in my eyes, that anything is possible. I do have my regrets, mostly surrounding the trust of players I thought I could place my loyalty into but were secretly aiding the enemy. Regrets, that so many simply walked away when they thought Regime had won it all which gave Ben precious time to recover. But at the end of the day, I realize that none of this was in my control. I fought, I led ops, I was a driving force in keeping Regime alive for such an extended amount of time against the new Ben via the recruitment of players, support, etc that they most likely do not even know how much so my hand was involved to appreciate my efforts. I held onto Vahtos and the north as long as I possibly could. When Bot fell in K35 due to an incompetent player, I knew if the advance was not halted before it reached K34 what would happen. Despite my warnings to Tranquility the duke of Regime she had lost faith at that time in any of the tribes capabilities and persisted in her view despite what was needed and told needed to be done. However, I do not blame Jen, if there was one person in all of tw who taught me more about myself through a simple game it is her. Taught to restrain myself despite wanting to scream at the enemy at the top of my lungs, taught repeatedly how to do a cancel snipe, someone to talk to when everything was falling apart. That is the kind of person Jen is, kind and compassionate above all else. When Ben finally had broken everyone else, K35 was gone (except my one cluster which I should mention was unstacked well over a month lol), and K34 was broken to the borders of K33, Regime knew that there would be no recovery. Not only were players unwilling to join (except the rarest of players, Nathan and the rest I can't ever give you enough credit for that), but any players we sought for example, (excuse me here) the piece of trash that stole miz from the account owner were likely plants from Ben and we had no other alternatives to refill our ranks. Any players that could have saved Regime, much like James who oddly enough is very active in this forum after the loss was nowhere to be found. But I am getting biased now, so back on track. When K34 was broken, Regime knew there was no coming back, myself, wiggles, EO all knew as the core of what was left of Regime. As a result, we walked away (seeing cwolf enter core K24 only made me more certain of the decision). I did not delete like many have claimed I did. In fact I stopped fighting and focused on my tribe on 94. Upto that point, I was defending multiple fronts, sits, and the like for days with no relief and mentally and physically I could not keep it up. I let it all go. Had the circumstances in Regime been different, I more than certainly would have stayed, regrettably, they were not. I do not see myself as "beaten" and this is directly at foxforcefive now. I held my ground were others did not, I was not beaten upto the moment I walked away from w80 at 69.9%. And upto that time, I lost very little ground to any who did attack, I should mention the K35 op cwolf and leather ran as proof of that claim. What was it 4m odd that day?
My head is held high as I look back, even as my enemies still hurl insults at me. But this is not the end of this story. Many including MintyFresh are on w94 once again fighting against me. So it seems as if round 2 has come. If you claimed to have beaten me, come and prove it there that you can do it again. My head is held high, I did not cheat, steal accounts, or use a spy to win this world. I fought with honor, integrity, and gave respect to those who deserved it. If I had to make a choice to do this again, I would because of the team Regime was. My respect is to those who stayed despite what was in front of us and we all know karma is the best revenge. While history is often written by the victor, I ask that the community not forget how the world came to be Regime vs Dest, and the fights that ensued, to Regimes comeback, to Bens comeback. This was a world that will likely never be seen again. Remember it.
Dave (saw you post), you have my skype, reach out anytime if want to talk. Same with you normy. Long live Regime, and onward with round 2 and the fun that will be shared between Minty and me on w94. I encourage more to come and have some fun, if you dare on both sides. Retirement is for losers that come into old chats and constantly complain for a few months then come back. You are a slave to tw, best get used to it LOL.
Respectfully and humbly,
War/Vahtos
Regime
