I am currently not in-game. Vacation after being sick and needing the time to make up all the work I have piled up. No bad taste needs to be left in your mouth, I am simply using the tools given to me. I like the social media side the forums provide, and will always use them to my advantage. As for messages, I delete them all for my own security reasons. If someone were every to gain access to my account, not being able to see my previous messages is a huge step toward the personal safety of myself and those I talk to. I'd screen shot that for you once I'm back, but I am sure I would get an outcry of editing and craziness, and it would not solve anything. I only save the screen shots sent to me to my computer and have them stored there.
As for a Coalition, yes, one has been formed, but not for the sole purpose of taking down Rising Shadows. The Union seems to be doing fine taking RS cities (although I can't speak for right now because I am not in to see what is happening, only reports from my VP's, I just know one was taking last night). The Coalition has been formed between a group of alliances looking at larger, more long-term goals.
As for those hating The Union, everyone hates top alliances if they aren't in them. Hate me if you want, but I only see the need for the restoration of RS honor and the desire for revenge because I dared call the number one ABP player at her own game. If your members are seriously not doubting leadership right now, well I am coming to question them too. This is nothing personal, which you seem to be making it, it is only me effecting a war through political means. Justified to the end under all scrutiny, yours truly.
This no longer needs to be an open thread. Close it at your convenience mods. Thank you.
Edit: by the way, I am the one so afraid of RS? I do what is best for my alliance. I would be stupid not to call out something when I see it. I have looked at this situation 101 ways. If I held Bayou's identity, things would have not been in an up-roar. Infinite other possibilities too! I think you are the one afraid. Messaging every alliance about me and my "lies".
