Nobody is spinning anything Frisky. You seem to continually be ignoring some facts while throwing out bogus accusations.
LCN had nothing to do with those suiciders on Rage this set. We have far too many people who wouldn't stand for it - myself included. They are unfortunate. I will say this in public - Rage helped LCN with suiciders several years back and LCN owes Rage for that still. Call us on that. I'll personally make sure we help if you have an issue with them again and request our assistance.
I don't think there's anyone outside of Rage who seriously believes we encouraged Ravi last set or have anything to do with the countries that hit you this reset. When have we ever done anything like that? Had Rage not hit us last set there's no chance in hell Ravi would even be playing in LCN right now. He was criticized in public by LCN leadership and holds more of a grudge with them than he does with Rage.
Croatia is a guy who previously ran untagged/played in TIE, not a longtime LCNer. He asked for LCN to back him up and to send him FA when Rage started killing him. Our response was to refuse to send FA, request he not hit Rage anymore (even though Rage started the KR on him before he did anything to Rage), chastise him for hitting Rage at all knowing Rage already thinks LCN had something to do with the suiciders that hit them, and essentially call him an idiot for not tagging up sooner and getting himself into that situation.
Purp said what he said for the Dec as well as what he said in private with SS but hitting Rage was far from set in stone. Boxcar runs too slow for me to double check all of this, but at first glance LCN and Rage didn't have any hits exchanged all reset until a little less than a week ago when Rage topfed LCN 4 times and RoR'd once in the span of 36 hours. The RoR was later retalled again. I am not sure what kind of reaction you expected from that...but had there been no hostility at all towards Rage coming into this reset and things went the same way, I can't say for certain that we would be facing a different result today.
On the issue of last set, a Rager suicided first. He did far less damage than Ravi, but you seem to be ignoring the fact that Ravi only ever happened because of Rage's suicider and subsequent response. After that suicide, SS initially refused to take responsibility. He later changed his tune to something more reasonable and proposed amends to the situation, but before those messages were seen, Ravi had already acted (on his own, as should be blatantly obvious by LCN being openly critical of one of our most beloved members in public). Had Rage not had a suicidier hit first, none of this ever happens. Had SS not initially tried to act like a hardass and refuse to accept responsibility for the Rage suicider, none of this ever happens.
It's unfortunate that things happened this way, but please don't try to pass the buck.
