uif already existed at that time, so did the shogunate ^^ your argument is invalid
and it's not about the community not being able to block ^^ gnjus couldn't block himself, noc was a poor melee fighter, ginger too
yet they were cool people and quite useful in some situations, mercs didn't only rely only on skill but on having a brain mostly,
it was one of the 3 criteria to join the mercs, yet it has disappeared over the years, once again i'm just stating facts
maybe the community has caught up, yet all the old mercs remain above the average, it's kinda obvious that whereas old mercs were for elitism new ones aren't
i'm not living up the past, i'm asking you to close the link between you and the past
i'm criticizing the clan i, with gnjus and oberyn, founded, so i think it's legitimate
and your factor is only a rumour to excuse your fail ... if people left the mercs it's because they have changed too much from what they expected, sometimes i wonder why people as mustik and burrick still are in the clan but i know they're very good lads, very loyal, and you should be glad to have them with you because i would
most of the old mercs remained friends and support each other when they play together, and where you see enemies i only see friends
