Of course they don't feel the same way. Everyone interprets things as they like. But just cause people don't like us doesn't make any of their beliefs about us even remotely true. You can call me dishonourable for making a thread reporting someone throwing junk into my fief when it was under siege but I actually would like people to follow the rules in strat. You can call me dishonourable because during the course of this thread the identity of the person who dumped things became fairly obvious (if still unproven). But seeing as you yourself have demonstrated your willingness to break written agreements and backstab friends for minor strat gains you may forgive me if I don't take your lectures about honour very seriously. I realize that venting my frustration won't change anyone's mind and that I would be better off just keeping my mouth shut while people continue to call us cheaters in order to justify people cheating against us, but I get sick of false accusations. Many of us in the FCC have done our best to play fairly and honourably, to stick to our word and to work with others and it gets really fucking tired having people labelling us as the bad guys while others who openly cheat are considered the good guys. I'm also not just referring to the topic of this thread but a culmination of various other incidents and so on. I get that we have the most enemies and so we will get the most shit talked about us; I just wish they would at least refrain from making up bullshit accusations about cheating.
In particular:

First off, I'd like to say that any breaking of written agreements and backstabbing we've ever done has been for more enjoyment in strat because we were bored with the way strat was going at the time or because we don't like to be seen as the clan who does nothing. (we do nothing btw)
Secondly, e-honor. Seriously. E-honor, that's what this is turning into. If we're talking "honor" in any sense, it's a mere opinion based on whoever is stating it. If Canary says that he feels honor means one thing, and you discount that based on your idea of what honor means, you're just pouring gas on the fire. Stop arguing over pedantic shit. Canary, why do you even respond to something like the word honor and use it as a point? Like, stop nitpicking the guy over stupid shit that was probably mis-worded in the first place.
I'm sure everyone agrees that item-bombing is an issue in strat. However, when you only bring to the table occurrences that affected your own faction, you're going to seem like the people who complain for their own gain. Bring multiple examples, and a proper discussion so people can talk about the issue at large instead of clawing at each others necks.
Also, on that note: If you're going to mention specific people Matey, you have to be prepared for an argument. Don't backpedal and act like god sends when they come into the thread to defend themselves. Though, to be fair, I think everyone should just stop mentioning names. Even large inferences are going to start something.
Fuck this game.
