Just a few key points made on our behalf.
You are (or were) our closest friends and you jerked us around all for some greedy land grab. All we wanted was a good fight(total disappointment) along side our good friends. After all, we left behind everything we had to get you out of the Merc war. Let's have fun though in this game.
I rarely ever say anything on the forums in regards to wars that are ongoing. However, I feel the need to say something now.
The old crop of FCC members looked up to RS (and later CHAOS) as the big brother whose approval they seek. With that in mind, we've been trying to push for an alliance for ages. I mean, if we were together, why would either of us need to enter into an alliance with a bigger clan? Us against the world and all that mentality, right?
We hung out with you guys, you hung out with us, and the world was peachy before Strat came back up. We wanted to declare our love for you to the whooole world, but we understood when you declined due to the kind of shenanigans little brothers get up to- like getting into a war with the Mercs.
So we figured we'd wait until a more favourable time. This seemed like it. The first I heard of Rebache was when Huey mentioned it to me, and my reaction was a 'not unless we get a longer non-aggression pact or alliance'. I wondered who'd made the offer, and then thought nothing of it.
The way I saw it, CHAOS wouldn't mind having a non-aggression pact or alliance if they had no plans of expansion to the south. The only reason we were wary was due to the Druzhina alliance. And I'm not saying that Druzhina never keep their word (they always do, to the letter) or anything like that- merely that they play to win, and if I had been Druzhina, I'd have gone for us, too.
But somewhere along the way, something soured. Maybe I should have handled the talks myself. Maybe it wouldn't have made a difference. I don't know.
At any rate, brothers fight. It's just how things work. I've punched Apsalar a few times.
But as long as we can get up, dust ourselves off, and hug each other later, it's all good.
So let's have as much fun with this as we can.
