If you think this is chest thumping or poo flinging thats fine, your opinion. I thought I was trying to clear the air. Just like you admit to being a jerk, I'll admit to being painfully honest. If thats poo flinging fine.
I thought I was clearing up my intentions, perhaps it didn't translate over the interwebs, perhaps you missed it. I stated earlier, I wasn't sure of the community events forum was correct. That was an honest mistake, I thought I made that obvious. I also thought I said I have no intention in converting the community. If you don't believe that fine, but that's what it is. This has been clearly stated now, and if you continue to insinuate anything else, than it is your poo flinging and not anything I have said.
It was also my mistake to assume you were a nice guy. Now I did not know you very well before, and because you were a CA I assumed you were not a jerk. So seeing as how this behaviour is new to my knowledge only after you joined SPQR is why I guessed at a connection. You said there is no connection so fair enough.
I'm sorry but I don't have the time to individually PM every member of this board as to whether or not they play Verdun. I actually have been talking to other clan members who do play it, and that went with my intention of seeing if there were additional GOIO players who I may not know who may also play it. I thought it might be fun to compete together in a different environment. That was my intention, plain and simple. You don't like it fine, you don't like it on these boards, fine, all your opinions. However, you are not a moderator, dev nor a CA anymore so unless they tell me I have severely crossed a line than you are getting greatly agitated for your own reasons. Don't place anger vicariously through them. I talk to Howard quite a bit, if I offended him than I would apologize personally. I haven't got any messages yet.
Finally onto Timmy. I brought it up because you specifically mentioned my clan. Well my clan and our competitive team are actually based around my experiences competing with him. So I thought it was quite relevant to clear up how I hope you understand my team. I don't know why you think he's always mentioned, or even why that would be a bad thing. There was a thing from Muse back in March because it was the anniversary of his death. Other than that I can't think of much. He might get mentioned on the boards from time to time, but I don't think it has any point other than admiration or respect from people who knew him. If you don't like it then just ignore it. Whether or not you agree or know about his contribution to competitive community is your opinion, it doesn't matter it was a different time and you weren't even competing then. I can tell you that I thought he was an amazing buff engineer, or that he knew a banshee like a beast before it was a thing, or that he worked a lot trying to work with the other clans at the other time, but I didn't need to. Those that were there knew, and he's remembered by those people.
With the accusation again, I pity that you are so distrustful and suspicious but thats just not the case. I dont have the time to care or plan baiting. You are overestimating me.
I'm sorry to hear you don't believe I respect Muse. Or at least, the vast majority of them. However, the great thing about freedom is the ability to respect one another but still disagree. To be able to voice opinions. If I didn't care about this game I wouldn't be trying to poach people. I wouldn't be figuratively on my knees screaming for them to change things. I would just walk, away stop playing. It would be a lot easier. Some of us care but want change, and we don't need to agree to everything or brown nose to like this game. And this where I will be leaving this discussion. I hope you understand I've done my best to be frank and honest here.
