Rant Inbound!!
This is why I gave up on that CalFW **** (excuse my language)!!
Everybody wanted to be this top dog ultra elite, I'm johnny bad ass durr durr, instead of working together to achieve a common goal!
Me and a few guys shared a vision of bringing Caldari players together to initiate a gaming environment, a community, a band of brothers, whom loved everything Caldari and would fight to raise its flag in honor.
Of course the rose tinted glasses dropped off to all the silly nonsense.
We would reach out to people. No response. Oh, I wasn't one of those famous "elite" guys on the forums whom blew each other on the boards daily, so they dismissed. "Who are you?" were the questions. Too many wanna be chiefs and not enough indians.
Then with Caldari Hierarchy, it was open comms. I wanted something more. Something more sophisticated. Military like. In a meeting with folks and we made Kirjuun Heiian after deciding on a name. Told them, let's make it password protected. Let's carefully select the players whom are serious. But no. One ignored me like I was just babbling. Made another comm channel, still open, and the SAME DAMN THING HAPPENED TO KH!
Oh I was upset. Meanwhile, Gallente talking **** and I couldn't say a damn thing besides the common "shut up four eyes" retort. Sometimes it would get nasty. I wanted to shut them up with a unified front, but players were too stupid to understand that with unity comes triumph. No matter the skill, comradity builds people stronger. Oh how I wanted the action to back it, but majority of players whom called themselves Caldari weren't Caldari.
Z Platoon is just another example of the stupidity of the majority of Cal players. NOBODY NETWORKS!! It's like I was dealing with Call of Duty players who didn't want to network with people unless they were elite. It just made me so damn mad!
So I gave up on it. OUKH folded. I watched KH turn into a kiddie show with dinosaurs and unicorns. People in there asking to queue up for GalFW and squads for pub matches!! WTF?!
Left a bitter taste in my mouth man. True Adamance and his guys were my inspiration. I wanted to build something like PIE with players. I respected our allies for that. Those guys were dedicated. We just lacked the intelligent mature players to do so.
So much ineptitude. So much elitism. So much stupidity. IMO, only a handful of people represented the Cal way.
My apologies OP, I know you probably read this before. But everytime this subject comes up (or anything remotely related to it), the sour memory comes to mind and it just pisses me off.
The damn Gallente had a more sophisticated front than us and they are some damn druggies; obnoxious slobs!!!

The damn Gallente had a more sophisticated front than us and they are some damn druggies; obnoxious slobs!!! Again with this elitist crap where does it spew from? Why? Because our room is private? Almost everyone who asks gets in, it's only password protected to keep out the trolls. Again, people see us differently than for what we are. We do help the Caldari and most of us were apart of Kirjuun and OUKH. The difference in our groups is we have 4 or 5 guys who are dedicated at putting squads together. KH and OUKH never had that, ever. People are sheep bro, honestly you have to have a few people hurding everyone or it doesn't work. That's what happens in Z Platoon. It's the same few guys creating squads and syncing. Drop the elitist crap we have plenty of newer players.
I wasn't even talking about you...but...
If you took offense to my post then you are the EXACT kind of people I am talking about.
I'm not stepping down from my words. The elitism attitude really sucks. Tryhards whom are over compensating for a video game.
I'm all about working with people, no matter their skill level or drawbacks. You show you got the merit and heart to do it, then I believe anything is possible.
Not with you elites. Got your mind too much on being snobby dickheads whom think they better than anybody else cause they good with a controller.
It's small minds like you that don't think larger. I was thinking about the larger picture, not about the immediate wins, the "oh at least we are winning our matches" BS.
and don't tell me what KH or OUKH had. Were you there?? No you weren't you were too busy giving out hand jobs to you and your elitist boys.
So take that crap up the block man.
