My original response to this was so long that no one would read so I will be short, but it still looks like it will be long. This thread is probably the best prime thread I have seen ever due to pulling specific incidents instead of going full throttle on clan political biases. The lie allegation is what messed up this thread but overlooking that for the time being, perhaps we can get down to productive text.
What I believe what happened was that the ammy incident somewhere S________ was involved in the dialogue and he is just, and I say respectfully, the wrong person for diplomacy. Listening to his text for me feels like I am forced to chew plywood. If I ever make General the first thing I would write in clan message is an order to clan wide block this guy. Had I been in the situation if some random trade and getting hate spam by this guy I would have blocked both toons and said I want nothing to do with it. I believe S_______ is a relic of the Cheech and Blaz era and has been well adjusted to a world of resets and deviousness. I advise with the new Era in Prime, new Diplomacy toons be elected. I fear nothing will be resolved if he is involved.
I trust LadyNym because she explained her specific reasons for leaving us. But let me explain the elephant in the room, no one has the courage to confess.
Here is the underlining current of that remains untouched, that is not logically sound, but emotionally honest.
There will always be animosity between clans because the bulk, majority of active primes used to at one point benefitted from Airees and benefitted from the patronage of Nitro, which has grown into Kudos. I deal with this with my arguably annoying or entertaining rhetoric of “Nitro is Forever” and (Nitro Advertisements)
So while we wait at 180 the lack of comfortableness from my end amounts to “You left us, and we are weaker for it”
Logically sound? No. You have every right to go where you please. Emotionally Valid? Yes. I have the right to feel the way I do and unfortunate side effect of the feeling of “I miss you”. It is the same way way back with Jackass, Sicknast and Martha, Ironic and Flan, Finnix to Jcell, Dominator to Acolyte and the list goes on and on. In fact the only person that left us that went to prime in which I was relieved with is Freedm, because as a Social Worker, there is some countertransference I feel because I now work with at risk youth adolescence, a change from the elderly frail population.
As far for claiming righteousness. I claim this due to adhering and compliance to Ra’s principles in his “Away” post and with the mission statement in PoDatz last clan before he retired. But here lies my own selfishness and vulnerability because I simply wont survive if the treaty is broken. I have a hard time seeing resets on either side, im not built for it and there are far too many other decent games to play to deal with the mass exploitation of a glitch. Trust that If I ever reset, it will be the beginning of the end of me. And I mean this in the way of resetting a target unprovoked or to “steal” a target back.
For those who believe the treaty only benefits Kudos, I would advise Prime members to expect your clan bank to assess the flood of hockey sticks, (mordris spears). The death of the treaty will only slow down, Kudos DL drops, and Prime Mordris/Hung kills and raise the blood pressure of house bearing adults like us and the many others who are Prime.
As far as the other specific incidents, I would be happy to discuss this all with my chief, my problem is that I am so easily trolled by S______ spam that I have lost rank and merit with my own clan by spazzing out. I thank the few in prime who have whispered the “its only a game” remedy and Dorn for keeping me in check. The game was fun before I knew how to get to Carrowmore Tunnels. I am at a lost of what to do now.
I follow Airees simply because she chose to help the weak.
