Slagpit, I was never a Rival leader. I almost ran a division in old Rival but my new division never took off. Like 5 of 6 of the former High council are not playing. The old High council are basically the few who didn't even update their contacts with us by making a boxcar account. I think we have about 100 with accounts on boxcar. If memory serves right I was the only LaF suicider who was not formally a head.
After Rival/Wog retired from the game and a few sets to cool down I played in LaF. Just a bit of information for you, the decision by the former council to hit LaF the way we did was entirely because of Pangea(Dave). The old heads disliked him. LaF was hit because Dave was a head. Our previous motives? I'll quote from memory a statement from a conversation I had with Dave a few years ago. "LaF and Rival were both elitist tags, both thought they were top dog and neither would back down from the other" Not an exact quote but that is basically the statement presented. Theres your previous motive for you.
As for current motives? Rival is a family, always has been and always will be. Even without playing some of us kept pretty close contact. We decided that we missed our family so much that we would revive Rival and have some fun with old friends. Any policies we are currently using and politics we are currently pushing are based 100% on the way we are being treated this set and the last 4-5 or so since we've been back.
You are doing nothing but making yourself look like an ass. You're entitled to your opinions, but I'm telling you, you don't have a clue. I don't recall ever having any outs with you, I asked diez what your issue is but he didn't really give me any idea. I brought Rival back with an open mind. After being treated like a joke by Evolution FA heads and being welcomed back with open arms by our NOW friends in LaF, you tell me the current ongoings arent based on whats going on now, and I'll call you a liar. This isn't 2001, this isn't 2006 when Rival retired, this is 2012.
Miscreant, Aristaeus, Alpha, Ershow... none of them are playing, Ershow is the only one who made an account in boxcar. I don't he believe he logged in since he made the account.
Rival is currently being led by PG, Danzgirules ,Coconut, Heinrich and backed by 13thScholar, Cookster, Mapleson, and Palmen. Rival is led by a council with backing from their advisors. None of them a particularly politically motivated. We are friendly with those who have been friendly to us.
Evolution tried to be our friends, only after they realised they would be outnumbered in war and when Evo/Sol realised that Rival would be tag that decided the outcome. Rival can't and won't be bought. We will not back down, ever. Next time maybe you guys would have friends if you tried to make an honest friendship and not just use them.
Does that answer your question of our motives?
