Working together agaisnt Elite? All you were interesting in was to recruit people in the SW where we ertr growing and let us be the meat shield between you and Elite. You are saying so much bs. Had you not created another tribe with full perks to compete with us in the same quadrant we would have been fine. Turn it however you like, you screwed JPC over.
well you are correct that had we not created RND, JPC would have been in a much better spot. But we saw the leadership in JPC. We saw the same people that screwed us over on Z world. We saw people that had egos too large to ever truly get along. I'm not saying bad player. To the contrary, many very good players. But having that kind of mix of players was a recipe for disaster from the start and we knew it. That is one of the reasons why we left.
But X11 was going to merge with us anyway whether or not JPC split up; whether or not Management went to LIT. But when Management left we knew Biz was trying to sprint towards domination and end the world quickly. There wasn't enough room for all of JPC to join LIT but he could have taken enough members to make it difficult to overcome. Us being the
smallest tribe of the top 4, we had plenty of room. We knew we had to reserve spots for X11 - because again, i'm not going to stab people in the back we made promises to.
When they turned down the merger with JPC it left you guys in a position where the 3 tribes were against you. We didn't have to bring you in, and you could have certainly refused and gone it alone. Yet you decided to join us EIJ. In fact you guys insisted on us bringing in a larger group with you. Funny how you leave these things out. We got as big as we were because you guys had no where else to go and rather than taking the top players we had to take 30-40 members from JPC. It was never going to be RND + JPC vs everyone else. We already had an agreement with X11 to join us. So it was either leave JPC alone and just eat all of you or merge the tribes and fight LIT - as it should have gone. This world would have been fine with the two superpowers going head-to-head. They were still the #1 tribe and we were big enough then to fight them. Until Management pulled a Jarl Redhair.
Biz was also trying to recruit players from the other world to form TLC as a sister tribe. We knew this because many of our members where in those tribes on the other world. He said this point blank. He assumed they would join LIT or at least fight with LIT and end the world. Management being in LIT changed the name to OTA and Biz bolted likely when he knew it wouldn't end quickly.
We didn't do anything to kill JPC other than starting RND to begin with. But if you guys would have allied with us you would have grown and you were already much larger than us. CC killed that deal. Had Management not left we wouldn't have had the pressure to hurry up the X11 deal (even after we brought in some of JPC) because the other risk is that X11 changed their mind and joined LIT.
It is all diplomacy. No matter how you slice it we were able to get the right people together. But make no mistake that LIT being disbanded is what really ended this world as Management admits and brags about. Our alliance with TLC wouldn't even be an issue right now if we were all fighting LIT.
