Ok boys, enough!!
I have seen these before. Freaking out, name calling , disrespect to each other, and downright mudslinging will not help this situation.
I woke up to find an active, excellent player gone.
Mark was a pillar here, and I for one will miss his expertise. He was one of my go to guys if I ever needed anything.
His leaving is a big red flag for this alliance and instead of bashing him we need to analyze what drove him to leave in the first place.
It's easiest to blame leadership, yet I happen to know the time away from RL it takes to be in that position...so cut them some slack.
Leaders can't make people participate, yet there lies the root of our problems.
Those of us, who do participate, have a need to fight. At this point in the game we have to team fight. The easy days of lone wolf attacking are gone, if we are to be successful.
If we don't all rally together, right now, we are doomed. That means, each and every member must pull their weight and be an active part.
So brush yourselves off ladies and gentlemen, shake hands and let's move forward like the great team that we are!!
