No, basically after a world war I publicly flamed Sanct for being cowards and letting us die and I flamed iMaG for entering against us, which cost us our uNaP with them the following set.
I was very passionate, loyal, but politically naive. IX had been doing what they did best. Playing politics and playing the long game to get revenge against everyone. I didn't understand this at the time. I was demoted and had all my perms removed. It was the final straw after a bunch of events. Everyone was being promoted in front of me, including morons, and #ixwar being occupied by criminal retards like Lowman who spent their time insulting others, etc. I joined WoG in Rage.
The following reset I played in Rage and managed to warn them of an IX FS. We won that war, but I was booted at the end of the set, because floyd convinced Rage's leaders that I was an IX spy in Rage... Deity and other WoGers left that reset in protest of their treatment against me and Rage did the Ninja Vanish thing.
I tried to join TIE, but floyd made them boot me again after 15 mins of playing there. That's when I dedicated my time to suiciding on SLIT for a few sets. Following that I joined Rival for their final 2 sets in Earth, then joined in with their untagged crusade against LaF.
I eventually joined Hells Saints and I remember one set where we farmed IX for 10k land after they got FSed. It was revenge for IX trying to bully HS during my first set there. Our 15 member alliance got a big one up over an alliance of 100.
Eventually WoG/Rival decided to create a new alliance. I was still in HS during their first set, but I managed to convince RedX that it was in the alliance's interest to merge into SoF, while I took up a HC position in WoG. The rest is history.
My views have changed a lot over the years, but that's no surprise since I was a 16 year old boy when I first started. I currently have strong views about how I want to play the game, but I won't really deny that I'm a hypocrite in certain cases. It's just a game.
