Actually, Gmno, he NEVER was FCC, as I remember when he first started strat. I told him how to apply to battles and things like that. Gave him initial strat tutoring, etc. If I'm correct, this was during the FCC invasion of the desert, which is when he started.
Also Gmno, you should re-read those posts.
Except that I wasn't. Which was my original point. I left (the crpg ladder) with no bad blood between FCC and I. As far as being "demoted", I was unaware, but there is one way to validate that claim, go into the clan journal, it tracks EVERYTHING that happened in the clan, so just ctrl+f JesusChrist and tell me what you find.
I literally changed his ranking to 0 and then declined his application after making him rank 0 myself. He was just west of reyvadin when I did it. I believe the timeline went like this - he attacked some random peopel and pissed off people we were friendly with, murder had him join the strategus faction, he attacked another guy, we talked with these friendly people, didn't like how keeping him would ruin our reputation with him attacking peaceful traders because he hates free trade, and after the other leaders agreed including murder, i removed him from our strategus faction. There may or may not have been a strategus battle with him attacking HG while under our banenr and there were understandably annoyed when he won with a bunch of FCC mercs carrying him.
Just like when you change your name and all your past battles get updated with the new name change - if you leave a faction it will often update without the old faction but instead with no faction under the battles listings - has happened to gmnotutuo as well.
http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=2727 I believe this was the battle where he attacked HG and I signed up for him as a member of our faction even though we were friendly with HG. I had to explain myself and why we were harboring a known bandit, a hater of free trade. Went and talked with murder and some of the other guys and hung his resurrected ass out to dry. Would never have signed up against HG unless he was in our faction.
Either way he was in our faction - had his troops and gear counts and gold in our factions listing page at one point and we had to reject him because he hates free trade and was fucking up our relations with our neighbors with his erratic crazy behavior.
P.S. Im putting up stones for 1 million crpg gold - please dont prove yourself a welcher as well as a bandit.
