FWL has lost what used to make it great. They became so sure they were the power of the Inner Sphere. And for a while they were. But history lesson, things change! Not everything stays the same, and failing to adapt to said changes, FWL's time is limited.

I refuse to be part of this mutation that used to be a great place to hang out and play. And while I'm going to miss great players like Dravan, Mooky, Grizzly, and the rest, it's time I move on somewhere else. Hopefully to a place who's leaders aren't falling over themselves, backstabbing their allies, and breaking promises because "**** those guys".

Oh, well, crap. Guess I got to lone wolf it now.

These people are not our allies. They used us for everything they could get. If you can't tell this by now you must have not been playing. I wish I could get back all the times I was on the clan border for them. The two nights we helped them gain back planets when MS was whipping them night after night. I now 100% support taking them out.

Lol. Biggest load of **** from the purple monkey above me. And THATS the problem with the star league jokers. You came to our faction to make cash and fight clanners, so knock it off with the "we came to help you" ****. From day 1 of CW we have held our own and while others factions die when times get rough we log on everynight and carve out a piece of the galaxy fot ourselves. Kurita DOESNT NEED your help, but if you want the most action and best cbill payout, you are welcome to jump in.

I second the offer for Dervish to join the dragon.

We have already reached out and touched ourselves from one faction to another. It didn't seem to change anything.

Oh? I must have missed that. Still, the fact that it's happening at all is something PGI is going to have to take on board, even if they change nothing immediately.

Well, since planet tags literally mean nothing right now I can only assume that once they do mean something more structure will be added; about who can hold them, how they are held, and the conditions when you just outright lose them.

And then he said "us star league folks need to stick togather and fight the clans" and then i clicked attack and ghost dropped on his planet, silly Davions.

Bahaha

Yikes

I would recommend reading it if you can spare the time, it's quite entertaining

Matt is awesome. Don't let him detail this thread though. You guys have gotten me through an earnings call and a conference call and a development meeting. Posting here has been the most productive part of my day. I've got 2, maybe 3 hours of reports to compile and run then I'm taking an early weekend.

Don't give up now! Marik is standing up to the games troll bad guys! Fighting Kurita and setting up for full on hot Clan Warfare!

Rocky style they take a few early hits and are now going to come back swinging. Ivan Drago had some great one liners but, well, Rocky!

Fire up Eye of the Tiger Marik. You got this. All excuses aside this is your thing. Great wall of space bacon; make it happen.

Actually, "Eye of the Tiger" was against Clubber Lang. Ivan Drago was "Burning Heart". One should not present false information about such vital issues.

Ahh and you keep spitting in the face of everyone who has helped you.

Good idea. I'll send all of our spare 12mans there post haste to keep Marik from attacking Kurita.

I think Marik will kick the crap out of you guys long term. NS personally? You're a comp 12 man. You'll won as often as you normally do. Of my last ~30 drops against Kurita (almost all pugging) i've lost 6. NKVA will do alright but there Davion teams that beat them. I think numbers will bury you and I don't expect Marik to just fold after their failed bid.

Plus we're getting plenty of new folks, just busy training them. Eager to get back to 22AL 12mans. You'd be so proud; one of our new guys just spent like 10 hours pugging off hours so he can get another dragon, so he can just run dakka dragons back to back to back. Another spent hours before he even joined studying forum posts and smurfy before buying his first mech with cadet bonus, identified the benefits of the GH change on lasers and picked up the shad k with 3 erlls. My first mech was a cent with lbx. It's a wonder I stayed.

Anyway. No, I wouldn't expect Davion to try and save Kurita from another front. You had a good run though.

Difference in outnumbering us and kicking the crap out of us, learn it. One results in dots on a map changing color, the other is the results of an actual match. Match results neither of you seem too good at achieving

One of your pilots voices intent to defect and your fist act is to spit on a faction he hasn't even said he's joining while half a dozen prospective comrades offer him a warm and enthusiastic invitation?

[Conreg]

To be fair. Our allies of old have adequately laid out their grievances and bravely fought to right perceived wrongs.

I see all of this as a grievous failure of diplomacy.

Perfect example of why respect should always be shown to your foes. Appreciation always shown to your allies.

Kuritan disdain was fighting against Marik machismo.

Bottom line is this. Kurita is strong. Marik makes us stronger.

I've yet to encounter a single Marik or Davion team that was not a joy to play against.

Keep it fun guys. We all have the same goals..... and let's face it... this was an entertaining showdown.

Personally I think he should go over for a week and see what type of people he is really dealing with If he doesn't already know. You're only being nice so you can use him like you normally do.

And like all great Democracies/Republics/Committees, Marik has now become so bloated and full of itself that without any effective leadership to get it back on track, it collapses in on itself like so much Rome.

FWL has lost what used to make it great. They became so sure they were the power of the Inner Sphere. And for a while they were. But history lesson, things change! Not everything stays the same, and failing to adapt to said changes, FWL's time is limited.

I refuse to be part of this mutation that used to be a great place to hang out and play. And while I'm going to miss great players like Dravan, Mooky, Grizzly, and the rest, it's time I move on somewhere else. Hopefully to a place who's leaders aren't falling over themselves, backstabbing their allies, and breaking promises because "**** those guys".

Oh, well, crap. Guess I got to lone wolf it now.

*Ahem* The FRR hasn't gone mad yet and can use every pilot willing to fight. That goes for everyone dissatisfied with their current house. The FRR fights clans; no backstabbing, no petty bickering, no epeen wagging, just war.

Use him how? As far as I know this is the first time he's had such a direct hand in forum politics. Unless you're saying he's somehow been coerced into doing what he's doing by some sinister outside agent. In which case he'd be more of a liability to you then an asset.

MS whipping us night after night... yeah, right.

Anyway, you have been brainwashed by Marik leadership or something because we did not USE you at all. We asked nothing of you, so how could we use you? I mean really where do you get this stuff. Like Marik is the victim after trying to dictate what the rest of the IS factions do and punish those who don't carry out your will. Get out of here with that.
