Ever since the 2vRust war our member activity entered a death spiral. For many reasons you can probably guess, other games like MGSV, Fallout 4, etc. being a lot more appealing than doing the same daily grind. The biggest problem was our leadership eventually went completely inactive. Paychecks would rarely be sent out on time, attacks weren't being sent out, defenses were sparse and low quality.
The whole reason the +å rebuild was so successful was because of our exceptionally strong leadership, when that started to fail its only natural that the opportunists would bow out. We knew it would happen eventually, even during the 2vRust war we discussed how when Fallout 4 hit SOGgy taco would overcome us simply because we would all be playing that instead. Thats pretty much what happened.
However, that isn't the major reason we stopped showing. I'm honestly disappointed it was allowed to continue for this long. Ever since Hotfox four, the server issues have become unbearable. When the countdown timer on the warbarge is rubberbanding everytime, there is a PROBLEM.
For most people a single laggy game puts them off, but for us we are used to it and push through it, hell we often blame ourselves and strive to take steps to prevent it.(here's my thread about that btw)
But WEEKS of non stop rubberbanding galore is just too much. It's gotten to the point where players who used to be known for their gungame simply spam explosives because their gun isn't fvcking working. Combined with the fact that we went from being able to field up to 3 teams at once to having 5 active members the day of 22 defenses was enough for me and ydubbs to move on to greener pastures.
Honestly at this point our core leadership is perma-done with Dust until something major happens. Pretty much don't expect to see us back unless its on a next gen platform. Its been fun o7 I hope for those of you that stay the servers get fixed soonGäó

All corporations suffer loss or dormancy at some point. As for AE receiving what was inevitable, you can only be as successful as your leadership. If you stopped there in your explanation, it would be a more respectable bow out. I would say AE was so successful because of the waves NF established before the fracture, regardless of what transpired afterwards. As for Dust 514, the game has always been extremely unbearable in regards to mechanics. Don't give excuses as to why you are losing territory, it does not better any position you currently stand/stood on.
Ari I will say out of all the players in this game, I grew to respect you after working with you in NF and other ventures involving AMBFTW at the time. Going dormant should be your next step. Uphold the name AE instead of writing it off like your other directorate. FA has chosen dormancy many times and is still around to this day as an intended result.
lol i never gave a shit about being in a "respectable position". If I did I wouldn't have taken the reins of #fakeAE let alone go along with a rebuild. I don't do things in this game to get hard about how much nerds respect me. I did it because I put value in accomplishments over reputation. FFS you're talking to the glitching bitch
Take my OP as excuses, my last attempt to save face, the truth, whatever. But pretend for even a second that I give a shit about your pathological lying ass and you're just reaching a whole new level of delusional. You're the opposite of me. You were the one director in NF that nobody liked. You act like your voice holds weight, yet you got next to nothing done. You liked to talk down to people that did 10x as much as you, Anon can confirm that better than anyone.
You lie about petty stuff, and sweep it under another layer of bullshit. That time you said you just got done talking to me and that I said people were ready to start moving back to NF. That time you said all remaining players in NF got paid out the remaining wallet. Name off 5 people you paid, because we talked to the players in NF while we were still defending the districts and they said they didn't get a dime.
I honestly find it hilarious you even bother to show your face anymore, let alone try to coach me on being respectable
