Excluding the fact that you could've build back up without leaving Tso's,

You're increasing the chances of the Big Bad effect to the point where it WILL happen inevitably. FA, in a lot of people eyes, was the Anti-Blue Donut, the Anti-Eon if you will. People will see the change and a bag of mixed feelings will be had. This wouldn't matter if RND joined or Red Star or any other big corp, but only you. I'm not saying there's a cult following behind FA but rather they were a symbol, a ******* beacon. Some people don't even like you much, like myself, but still favor the Hell out of your corp. "We build this corp in only a few months. Just by bringing the best players together." is what players hear when they think FA. It's what small corporations use as inspiration to build up a force. It's all full circle now; everything's being forced into the cycle. The third war is about to come. The red horseman has saddled and drew his sword, Ares has taken an interest, and rage has begun plaguing the people.

This isn't a plea, but a warning. I hope for FA's sake that it doesn't go to **** thanks to being man-handled into a hole. I still hold FA in some strange honor... I prefer they come out of all of this better than before, on top and with the hindsight to realize that they need not call upon the Big Bad effect and that a Fourth Regional War doesn't need to be approached, and with the foresight to not be put into such a situation again.

What other choice did they have? FA was overwhelmed with all the opponents they had, couldn't defend their districts, and when RND left, it was pretty much over. Straight

Zatara joined so he could save FA. There are people like Himiko and Knight who didn't like it, but it was for the best of Zatara's corp.

edit: Also, a lot of members in FA were recruited from pubs (like TTW3x Big smile

I was one of FA's first members, and I'm a nobody. But yeah man it's easy to look at FA and tell us to keep fighting the good fight or whatever, but as Patrick said it is overwhelming being in the position we found ourselves in. We successfully defended our remaining districts every night against some of the highest calibre mercs around, it was an exhausting (and expensive) business. Aside from the chest-beating of both parties, kudos to everyone involved in those battles, they were pretty epic. FA is like a family though, we weren't brought together to destroy the tyrannical empire of Renegade Alliance or anything like that. Zatara just wanted to build a new corp and see how far it could grow. For all intents and purposes he succeeded. We have to do what is best for our corp at the end of the day.
