So sof made Ivan evil?
Yeah, pretty much. It wasn't just Ivan who was a prick, it was the entire leadership structure. Once SoF and LaF started fellating each other, it was over - we pretty much had to do what you or LaF said or else risk war. aponic, I'm not sure what impression you have of SoF, but maybe we should have a chat about it sometime so you can get an outsider's perspective. I think you're under the impression that most people like(d) you guys. Individually, I like some of you guys (I think you're cool too, apon). But your leadership structure has always been rigid (in policy) and threatening (in policy).
Ivan was a bitter duck as a leader and sof kicked him out. You felt the same way.
True dat. And that's kinda my point - he was only ever a "bitter duck" in SoF.
Now you jump in a band wagon war when sof and pdm have had good relations since Ivan left and suddenly you are up his ass with love.
For the record, I was never told who we would be fighting (although I could extrapolate based on pacts) until a week before the set started. I was never told who our war allies would be, nor that this would turn into a server war (until the set started). So actually, if you mean "you" as in Paradigm, I suppose you have a point. If you mean "you" as in me, well, you're wrong.
I'm glad to hear that we had good relations - I just recently unretired a set ago and I haven't even had a chance to chat with any of you guys. I'm sorry that this (inevitable) war could tarnish those relations.
I'm sure though you understand why the server could no longer tolerate the status quo, though. It seems to me this war is nothing personal, and I hope that SoF feels this way too.
