Let me drop the bomb and tell you how it worked...
ERA was being pestered by every corporation, and we got sick of it! As our barricade of awesome players began to leave day by day, we decided to get rid of our tags and create a new corporation. It was a great idea, and everyone agreed that the tag "ERA" left a bad taste in both our and the rest of Dust's mouths. We were ready to skip into the sunset and live happily ever after...
Until Espeon happened...
While Roman was out at his fishing derby (which he got 16th out of 1600. Impressive, right?), Espeon and his band of "rebels" plotted to steal away ERA's players and make his own corp. Within hours, his puppets tricked a good amount of players in ERA to sign the devil's contract and join him. I was floored the next day.
I believed Espeon had Roman's consent to start filling the new corporation, but it turns out he was lying. Roman came back from his derby surprised to find ERA leaving in droves. Wishing to discuss what was happening, he called on Espeon to explain why he was splitting off, but after a minute of Espeon saying "Go F yourself" and leaving chat, ERA had begun to cripple.
In an act of retaliation, Ratained, Myself, and Roman immediately sent out a warning to everyone left in the corp to not take the lollipop the dirty thief was offering, even though it had Kain's seal of approval on it. As Espeon created his "Bloodline Rebellion" and made ties with the biggest scrub in dust history, Roman and the rest of us created "Murphys-Law." XDestruction whipped out his spellbook and removed the hexes from some of the ERA members that were tricked into Bloodline, and a couple other fun-loving scrubs were also welcomed into this nice group of dust players.
To recap, WE NEVER WANTED TO SPLIT UP! ESPEON WAS THE ONE WHO TRICKED PEOPLE AND DECIDED TO GO HIS OWN WAY! I respect him and some of his players (And the fact he was able to help Rampage bring back some classic players), but the way he handled it was comparable to a baby with a poopy diaper that takes the candy away from his little brother and throws it off a cliff (along with a poopy diaper to face follow-up.)
MU-LA is still strong. Bloodline is still strong. Until you face one of us in battle, don't say FA and Molon are the best...
So there you go. Now you know. This is the plain truth. Now go back to the battlefield and stop whining about ERA being gone.
