Im sorry to see him go, but I know him from way back and I'm really surprised he would quit over anything like strat and not just because he got interested in some other game or busy with life. Hes super laid back and really doesnt care about strat.
Kesh is right, I don't care too much about strat, I never have for any long period of time. My mentality towards it is that it's just a game. A game that happens to bring out the worst in most people who take it with any ounce of seriousness.
I'm quitting for a few reasons.
A: This iteration of strat is beyond broken. Gear prices and crime and all that jazz are fucked up, I don't care what anyone claims, this is how I feel.
B:Everyone I'm playing either with or against treats Strat like it matters.
C:Being a strat leader has brought out the worst in me on the forums and such, I liked it better the days when I would just follow Kesh into hell and no matter what happened I had some fun(usually)
D: c-RPG takes up way too much damn time, so instead of sitting on my fatass all day, I've used it to go out into the world and actually do shit.
E: I made friends(I like to think so, lol) on all sides, Squids, Hosp, MB, GoW, WotN, Astralis, Desire, etc etc and seeing most of them (Myself included) turn into a bunch of foaming at the mouth psychopaths on a fuckin forum board isn't something I enjoyed.
I have a serious fucking dislike for James though, has nothing to do with strat stuff, he's just an asshole. I honest to god wanted to declare a ceasefire so we could all go beat his ass off the map and resume fighting out our little war but that didn't go anywhere.
Honestly, the rest of you people are great, I've had a great time playing with all of you.
Kesh is a pretty cool motherfucker to hang with, as were most of the old FCC guys like G-man, Snickers, Zaylo, Richierich and such. Sittingbull is probably one of the best clan leads I've ever seen, Dreadnok is the best person on ts, ever. Had some great fun stacking Aldo, 9finger and the rest of MB back in the day (remember when they had a ladder of 50 instead of 150?) Chilling with the Squids was a blast, me and Zaylo once pulled an all nighter and ended up fighting in a strat battle at 7am. More recently, hanging with all the LCOH guys was fun, (TallTree, Dev, panda, cain)
And to all the Black Company guys
stop fucking teamhitting meCongrats on being the only clan to tolerate me for a full 9 months.
