And what an honor it was to get kicked out by that KEQ ringer dream team. They had the best of everyone outside of FA, I remember kalante, shiyou hidiyoshi, sir snugglz among many others being against us - defintely not at our prime, almost certain regnyum was there too. There was only about 2 KEQ there as always. Don't let bias and hate ruin your perspective.
I don't know what Zatara did or (the other co-founders/directors) to create such loyalty in all the core FA.gs. It's truly admirable and commendable. The FAmily will never die.
EDIT: FA has been kicked out maybe once? We've never fallen apart/have everyone corp hop out of there when **** gets a little rough.
Kalante, Ari and Yoshi were ringing for Roman, iirc. Reg and Snugglz definitely weren't there. Ntm, they didn't have us
That team consisted of roughly 3-4 KEQ, 2-3 Abandoned Privilege (Carbonite n company), 3-4 RG, 2-3 OH (Nega and someone else), and some other randos (Kaiser/Tec/Death/etc). Kitchen sink of a team, indeed. We played that same team every day trading wins, but opted out of helping FA as absolutely no one liked devin or lags...and the farming was ridiculous. The leadership attitude was toxic without Zatara, and eventually they got what was coming. User and I were just chatting about that ring team earlier. They were some of the best fights I've ever had -- and certainly groomed us to take on Tso's in its entirety. Yes, I came back with....bad intentions.
FA dipset just as the guillotine was falling, claiming it was break time. This doesn't undermine their achievement in filling a MH void when CAP disappeared the first time and OH went to Destiny. In your roots, you faced the harshest of competition in AE and NS (however well the locking avoided it
). I can't claim to know internal situations, simply perspective.
My flock disperses every time I take off, certainly. I appreciate that whole-heartedly. They grow as individuals under other banners. These experiences add depth and dimension that I could not personally provide. They, both as soldiers and family, return ever more seasoned each time. With this fluid motion, their plateaus are shattered and they become stronger than before. They know that when I sound the ram's horn, it's time to come home. A man can only learn so much from one instructor. However, never once have my guys backed down from a fight...nor fled when the losses mounted. Just because you dodge certain defeat, doesn't make your record untarnished. There is no "maybe once", brother.
Had to feed the tangent beast. Enjoy the paragraph nation.
