I would like to apologize to Eves for the recent trash talking that had been occurring on forums and in game recently by my clansman. I have warned my clan to not trash talk on forums or game. However, I would like to point out that this sort of problem does not come out randomly. Draclau, our trusted clansman, and several others complained about your clansman SirSmokesAlot. I know our approach was not the best way to solve the issue, but the frustration in my clan has build up to not only have grudge against him, but against Eve as well. The toon "draclauSucks" has definitely triggered off many of our members as well. As far as I know, he is SirSmokesAlot himself and he created a new character just to trash talk our clan. You need to realize what Smokes has been doing to us is no different then what Notso has been doing on this thread. My clansman, including Notso, have been firmly warned to not to trash talk on forums or in game. I am disappointed to see no action has been taken to this issue yet by Eve's leaderships. I do not want any sort of clan war or fight between us, and I try to choose the best options I have to achieve the best future for both of us, but this cannot happen while I am the only one working on it. I am hoping to talk to one of the Eve leaderships about this issue and end it before it leaves a major scar in our relationships.
Hey Jugg,
Lets take a quick look at the people who have been making complaints about me:
Rapid: obviously there is beef here, we dont need to get into this.
Evasive/Ghandi: His hatred for me started about the time of OW release I think. I remember a lot of name calling near scavenger one day directed toward me, but it was a long time ago. Again previous beef with me. As far as I know, he has never been a stand up player, at least to me anyway.
Reflex: This is more recent beef, but he got really mad at me when I wouldnt FFA the arena mob that I had been waiting for over 30 minutes for. I called clannies to help me, and he hasnt been very nice since then. Other than that, we used to group together in wyvren grps no problem.
Forrestgump: I have already addressed this in a previous thread, but his beef with me was due to me timing mob spawns while he was saving for his 1 mil broom. I was always at the spawn first, and he didnt like that. As a matter of fact, he recently messaged me on his character TIGERWOODS to let me know that he was quitting, and that he thought I was a good player - we wished eachother luck in the future, and parted ways.
Draclau: I have never had beef with, but lost a lot of respect for him due to hoarding 2-3 mobs at a time in an already overcrowded xp zone - and then calling me a kser and a harasser, because he wasted a lix. He did get KSed, but I was not the one who initiated anything. I already had a long thread here, and what little credit I have would have been completely destroyed had I in fact KSed. You can ask both Crabby and Mom - I was concerned about the trouble I was going to be in for being affiliated with that action - and what do you know, I was 100% right. I will admit that I helped kill the 2nd and 3rd mobs that were peeled off of him that he had not engaged yet. Its just not fair for someone to horde 3 mobs while a group is running around looking for xp, also on lix. This I dont consider a KS - Im sure most of Rihannon will agree with that.
As far as creating another character to make fun of someone - I would never waste the time to do this. I never had a problem with him before this - what he has done here really hasnt caused me any problems (aside from frustration at this thread). While I dont like him very much now for trying to cause me problems, I wouldnt make another character just to make him look bad - thats childish, dumb, and accomplishes nothing - how many of you take characters named like that seriously? my point exactly. As you can see from my posts, I have no problem calling people out, and I wouldnt hide behind another name to do so. I barely have enough free time to keep up with everyone on levels as it is.
I have been trying really hard to fix what I did in the past - thats why you havnt heard about sirsmoke that much since the update has come out (its been 6 months guys, come on). I have been an honorable player, I have contributed to this server and my clan. But, when I call people out for fair play, and start to voice my opinion on the forums, everything that happened in the past resurfaces, and people automatically start to make the assumptions that sirsmoke is a lowlife scumbag, and it had to be him KSing people. Jugg, the fact is, you were not there when anything was happening. People who have previous beef with me are the ones making the accusations - how is it fair for me to be punished based on the accusations of people who are known to dislike me? Im standing up for what I think is right, what is fair per the server rules that have been agreed upon by the clans, and what is presented as the rules stated by OTM - sue me.
As a clan our general rule is everyone generally deserves a second chance.
