I respect that you have an axe to grind against DHB, but Whizz was not there when you were asked to move on.
If you don't like what is being proposed here, please move on to something more constructive.

This is not a DHB event. I suspect his opposition to this event has nothing to do with his issues with DHB.

How many times will we be dropping? Just the one, or multiple?

Are you talking about PGI? How come this dude get a free pass and everyone crucifies PGI? Haven't seen this much hypocrisy since the invention of religion. This whole idea is completely t4rded.

who says we gave him a free pass?!

OP, way to shoot yourself in the foot and cast the vocal minority in a bad light. I was thinking of joining even if I didn't register on you site. Instead of placing your trust in the community you chose to believe rumors instead.. My advice - next time you want to shoot yourself in the foot... Aim higher.

as you can can see I and others had a go at him.

the good thing is he considered his actions and our reactions and he manned up to it.

what do you expect will happen?!

[Country Gravy]

I expect a ton of threads to be made about this guy so that everyone knows what he did. There should be snide remarks interjected into every thread on the forums about this so no one will miss it.

This is nothing to do with DHB Tiger. As I understood even despite Havoc's "personal" support to this that it was never identified as a DHB initiative?

Also I don't have an "agenda" against DHB, this despite me identifying that the group may have had some leadership issues in the past, hence the break up with a number of people moving to an alternative unit, something in fact I did try to warn the DHB leadership about before it happened with a view of trying to prevent these things, but it fell on deaf ears.

I have personally moved on since those times which are months ago anyway and don't have anything other than a memory of something that could have been better now. Otherwise where have I represented on the forums that I have been objecting to DHB as a group or presented issues against them? Please show me this evidence about my so called "axe" where I'm actively pursuing these interests, as I'm unaware of it myself.

My comments are/were simply to say that I find this splinter group to have a perspective that is out of proportion with respect to the issues. I was in fact trying to be helpful in representing my point of view with what I hoped would be received as humourous content. I even wished you well with having fun playing Big Stompy Robots.

In fact all you have done with this comment is helped to cement just how "seriously" childish your group is now, and more so by fabricating projected excuses for your own benefit now to reject people's constructive criticism to the gravitas of this project. After all you all know much better than anyone else right? And don't need to include others in this initiative or consider others concerns it seems. Seems very familiar.

So, in your opinion - what did I do?

In my opinion, I reacted very poorly to information that I had received. Regardless on the content of this information - I let the slander from people like you get the better of me, and I made a bad call. When challenged on that call by many who I had let down, I made sincere public apology, and reversed my actions.

Spread the good work my friend - maybe this will catch on. This is chess, not checkers.

Whiz.

With PGI, it's more like Jenga, and the tower is about to topple.

You know what you did. Don't try to gloss over your lack of communication with some sort of fake non-apology

Seriously, though...I have no idea what you did. I am just sounding as ridiculous as all the PGI hate that goes on around here. Good luck on your drop that does nothing. I for one will be logging in as well since it will be so easy to find a good match.

LOL! Sorry bud, been trolled left right and center for the last few weeks. It may do nothing... there are no guarantees. We'll be happy to have you on board. 40 minutes to go!

Greetings to the UniteAndDrop community.
I regret to inform you all that effective this evening, I am aborting the UniteAndDrop event. I thank all of the UniteAndDrop team for their efforts, and am now quite thankful that you remain anonymous. In my opinion, this game is now a lost cause.

I have received in the last 24 hours information from several sources that Garth Erlam, our “community manager” is pushing ‘Fox the network guy’ to shut the MWO servers down for 2 minutes upon the expiry of the UniteAndDrop website timer.

What this means, is although this event has certainly picked up steam within our community, and at last report from my own “web guy” our numbers were beginning to represent a considerable investment to the Mechwarrior Online game in the last 12 months, our developers really do not care about us as customers. They have no interest in allowing us our peaceful protest. They have no interest in us because they already have our money.

The fact that they would even consider interfering in an event like this is appalling to me, and I will not for a second waste any more of my time or yours with a venture that will make no difference to the way PGI and IGP are operating. They are telling the truth when they say they are partners, but it may well be the only thing they are telling the truth about.

I for one, will now be pushing for a refund. I will get it too, as will you if you try, as they have fully refunded friends of mine in the past.

I’m out. For what it is worth I am sorry.

Whiz.

I call BS (for obvious reasons). But will drop anyway, though it will change nothing.

[Nav]

Apologies Whiz, I tried to install MWO on my laptop to participate in this as I had plans to be away this weekend. Unfortunately this didn't work out.

I know that many ARMD members will be participating and I still wanted to show my support here.

Best of luck, hope you all make an impact!
