Then Gyrok sir, we need to have a discussion. You keep telling me I didn't hear things I clearly did. That in-person meeting you had with two of us, one was me. And while you weren't rude or anything, you were quite clearly not supportive and incensed Soaq so much he almost threatened you. And while it is NOT the basis or foundation for CI's attitude and actions regarding Clan Wolf, it IS the basis for the decision we made to instead go Ghost Bear, thereby directly conflicting with 40% of my unit that voted to go Clan Wolf. And it was a BIG DEAL. The very next day I called a MANDATORY all-officers meeting (we don't do things like that usually), all 16 or so were there, including our Euro officers who stayed up to something like 4am their time, as our discussion was hours and our decision to do something contrary to popular vote heavy, but eventually also unanimous based off the conversation we (me and Soaq) had with you that night, and earlier with some other Wolf leaders of different Galaxies (that I'm sorry I can't all remember because at the time they all sounded the same to me).
And now, groins have been kicked and kidneys have been punched. Blueduck steps up to try to at least defuse another potential Wolf vs the World situation into something that won't make most of his, or other causal units up and quit CommWar or worse the game, and you insult him. You are not doing Clan Wolf any favors by being so abrasive to everyone. Let Blueduck's initiative have some support and gain some traction to at least create battles we can all call Good Games and not burn out or turn off hundreds of Wolf warriors.
If there must continue to be hostilities between Ghost Bear Merc units, there should be nothing wrong with trying to make them less, well, hostile. I'll support trying to do that and I'll talk to the rest of CI leadership to support trying to do that.
I understand you're going to be working with GK soon. You'll find out that CI and GK have a great relationship, a successful MCW partnership and talk often. In fact I had an awesome talk with Fantastic Ergo about the situation last night. Take a minute or two to find out why and how we can do that, but other units in Wolf absolutely could not. Take a minute to follow their example, and see what a difference it makes in the way CI "handles" you, your unit and your faction. I'd be willing to bet it might ripple to MS too, cause they're not unreasonable either.
I was abrasive? Excuse me?
One of your high council members threatened to bore a hole through Clan Wolf whether we agreed to your demands or not.
Might I point out that the presentation made was done poorly. It was not..."Do you think we could..." It was presented as "We are going to...".
As for hostility...I had none. The fact that I was being threatened in a meeting called by your council was bad enough, then, when you mentioned about coming to CW to work together, I thought that sounded much better than you asking for a corridor to cut completely through CW space.
So, forgive me if I sound confused...because abrasive was the attitude I got from you guys. Trying to be diplomatic was what I was doing. I did not want to step on your toes...but I knew in my heart/mind that the proposition you proposed would never fly. The one that is being offered by MS now will never fly. I can assure that 2 of the 3 major players for CW in terms of numbers will not agree to any of it. That has not changed, and will continue to be the case.
If you felt like there was an issue...you should have come to talk to me. I would have gladly discussed any ideas you had, or questions about joining us. I know you and GK have a good relationship. Frankly, I think the fact that there was some huge misunderstanding over all this indicates that there should simply be more communication over the matter.
I will, however, emphatically stand by my earlier comment.
I, nor anyone I know, never told you that you were not welcome at Wolf. If you felt that way, you should spoken up.
