My god I'm tired of hearing you. You AREN'T a good leader! There's a reason everyone betrays you Paul, and it isn't because you grow too strong too fast. People LIKE winning. It's because you run your mouth when you have nothing to run your mouth about. I fricking just conceded. I lost. Try me did not turn out, but you even ADMITTED you were mis-informed (another word for wrong) and STILL told me how you're right.
Unity was never a dead horse. If it was a dead horse, why are the members I brought with from it still here? Because they're LOYAL to me. We're FRIENDS. You know, as in, people actually LIKE me? Can you say the same Paul? Like I said, I do my research. Zarkoff wasn't loyal to you. The people that followed him were loyal to him, and that was most of your alliance. If you're the fantastic leader, where's the loyalty in your members? They don't believe in you. If they did, they would have stayed in your alliance... and hey, look, all my guys from ?Unity believe in me and stayed in my alliance, so how can you tell me that I'm failing as a leader?
I had RL issues that everyone in the council was aware of when Try me fell apart. Under normal circumstances, not only would all MY members have stayed, I would've given the best effort possible and half of Bigs would have stayed too. But I couldn't be active at the moment my alliance needed me most. So, I leave to take care of a family problem for 5 days and the alliance with a 7 person council falls apart. The Defiant One did a great job of helping keep the Unity members and giving them some direction. The leadership from Bigs only worsened the situation, as they, like your guys, have no loyalty except a couple of them to bear and a couple of them to Breez.
EDIT: I should fix this. There ARE some guys who came over from Bigs who have some since of loyalty, and they've turned out to be great guys.
You say how you did all this as a leader, and it seems you base how well your alliance did off of how many oceans you were #1 in. That's ridiculous. You think you're one of the best leaders ever, it's evident in the way you speak. "No one can claim they've taken half a world in 6 months." Umm... actually...
The fact remains: Your alliance wasn't even #1 in their world! How can they be so good to be considered among the best if they never dominated even a single server? You say because you control more territory then Ely you're stronger. Again, bogus. That would mean if they have higher points and less oceans they're more concentrated then you are.
I don't need YOU of all people to tell me how to be a better leader. You are not a good leader, otherwise more then two people would have followed you. If I had left Unity when I was just a leader, not a founder, half the alliance (the active half) would have followed me, because people follow people they trust and believe in. There's no other reason. So how can you say you're so great if people don't trust and believe you?
TSF has challenged you how many times to join a new server and form a team to play against his now? That's not being a fricking coward. He doesn't want a one-on-one fight, he wants you, this great "politician" who says he raises great teams up and blah blah blah to take his alliance on. Are you scared you're outmatched? Because I'll give you a hint, you are. You aren't good enough, and you know it or you would stop trying to get Smilo to join a server where he would pop up 2 oceans away from you with 4k less points then you have. That's hardly a good, one-on-one fight. Smilo wants to join a world he'll stay on, can you blame him? Oh well, I guess that's the reason you don't want to fight, you wouldn't stay on that world after you got your butt rimmed
So, to conclude: Stop trying to give me advice. You are not a good leader, and I'm tired of you acting like you are.
You have not been right his whole time lmao. I told you to start with that bear and I had our differences, you told me to merge anyways and I shot you down. There's one time you were wrong. You said I couldn't trust sadface when I had the choice of him or bear as my co-founder, I should have gone with sadface, who turned out to be completely trustworthy, but instead I chose bear (although that was my opinion already, but again, you were wrong) who ended up being the first domino. You were wrong. Then, there's the time you told me that if you branched away and told everyone you were forming an elite alliance of only actives they would all follow. I told you there's no way, if we can't get actives to come to Unity, why would they come to some brand new, unknown alliance? I was right, as hardly anyone followed you. Then, there's of course the misinformation, claiming we were having internal problems when we were not. You were wrong.
4 instances. 5 if you count defending against harpies with archers
Please, continue to praise your leadership abilities, but never show them, as you have none. Winning is when your alliance emerges on top. You did not win on Gythium, and you did not win here, so how can you be the winner?
realize the goal and what role you and each player holds.
Oh, and before someone thinks "that's good advice" just don't. This belongs in a fricking Disney film. The goal? This is a game, the goal is to win. The role each player holds is simple, some lead, some listen. You should try and be one of the ones that listen from now on, as you are no good at leading.
Good advice for a leader:
Make sure your members know what is expected of them.
Give your alliance good organization.
Have a solid council behind you.
Don't be a Paul, people should like you.
Don't back down from a war and merge every single time (goes along with don't be a Paul). War strengthens the strong and weakens the weak (usually). You can lose a war and survive, and you'll be better off as your team will coordinate better and form a better bond.
Make sure your team's morale does not drop.
Etc.
Things I listed will make a difference in your alliance. Things you listed is a bunch of garbage a bad motivational speaker would spew. You can't think of an ACTUAL reason I'm a bad leader, so you tell me to "step up and be a man."
Your fan-club will be waiting for you to join another world, see ya there.
