Actions were taken and misunderstandings occur, this is a classic example. IMP felt provoked by LoC, so they FSed, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Situations arose that caused tensions between the clans, but were never addressed beyond a single conversation between Prime and I. But if you want some truth, here it is, yall jumped to conclusions and now look bad. I have asked Prime several times to engage in a true arranged friendly war with no drama, but he said nobody was interested. So LoC started netting, and we continued to do so this set with clear intentions. You want to talk about clear intentions but yet IMP played in deceit this set, and I'm not accusing knowing that I haven't played in deceit. This is not the pot calling the kettle black, I've done wrong and I have owned those wrongdoings. But to act like you are in the right here and have been clear about your intentions, far from the facts.
I'm just correcting your members and Makinso that think it should have been a fair and fun war. Some things weren't misunderstandings. If we look bad to LoC members, well, *shrugs*. It's unfortunate considering we all have friends in LoC. LoC looks bad to us right now, though, too. And I recently heard Zach getting hit once or twice was enough reason to suicide random netters in IMP, so considering one of your leaders ran solo tagged just to hit me last set, I feel pretty justified here :P For what it's worth, we did damn good living in harmony for the last year. Probably the longest peaceful period in FFA history, but eventually tensions reach a boiling point.
Sorry not in LoC nobody "leads" me there or you would actually have some bad ass cuontries up against you right now lol.
I'm just saying I always see IMP being self justifying every iffy action they make on these boards.
I just want to share my neutral observation on IMP. I returned to FFA 3 - 4 sets ago and this is the pattern I tend to see:
Let's not forget I have nothing to win or lose in this war, I just recognize the behavorial pattern IMP has as a tag.
You are almost like 1as Elders. Impulsive, you guys look (don't say you are) easily offended by the simplest things. Chest pounding easy wins which always seem to be filled with deceit (keeping 5- 10 untagged strings, refusing FA talks to solve things etc. etc.). When things like this happen in vice versa situations you are so offended that you start threats or threaten to run individual players or tags off the server.
While doing this you usually seem to ride the holy grail as crusaders, claiming holiness and everything for the good of the server yet most things just seem to fit your own agenda. Same seems to go for reps and retal policies those always seem to be bended in your favor if possible. If not possible, anything from direct and indirect mild to extreme threats seems the way to go. I'm not a fan of what CC did under different leadership then mine (which was long ago) hence I left the tag immediately after I learned. However in your case it's pot calling kettle black a lot of times.
Wether this is the IMP way or not.... (personal opinion: it always has been really, even in the days that guys were rampantly cheating and botting in FFA, together with the Takers/NBK crew) I don't care really.
But if it is the IMP way just man up and say it out loud. If you don't it just makes you look like a tag with a borderline personality disorder.
Once again I'm not out to offend anyone but that is how I personally see and have experienced IMP in the last year. What you do with observations of a third party is of course completely up to IMP and it's members.
