It did take 3 weeks, but there was so much raw talent

We did lol.

3/4 of our teams were completely new to PC and that's why we was able to market FA as THE ideal 'indy' corp...I literally willed that label into relevance for dust by contrasting corps like OH and ERA that recruited a bunch of slayers from other corps on these very forums...while FA's mission was always to avoid the cycle of corps being demolished and then merging with some other team to become stronger by drawing on untapped potential slayers that were languishing in pubs...and we succeeded. Jenova, Dwater, and many many more went from being pub stars to PC stars.

We built the only corp to seriously challenge AE.

And honestly...my recipe for locating 'unknown talent', the work I did to foster sentiments for 'indy' corps (you know how many corps started recruiting using that line after I popularized it!?) along with the culture himi, tba, and I weaved into the fibers of FA is literally my magnum opus on Dust.

But even beyond this...the fact we have managed to successfully transition FA into other games as a dominant force is an accomplishment I'm super proud of...which I do have to give mad props to OH for.

It's not a given that your family on dust will transition...and the fact that some of the corps have successfully is impressive.

Admittedly, all of these accomplishments will pale in comparison to my most ambitious projects long term...to build a real life tech startup drawing on people from FA/Dust and ideally someday using the history of PC as the basis of some sort of book.

It's insane to me that these projects are even something that a few of us are entertaining and I am applying my efforts to actualize.

Proving you can use video games as tools to network in real life is something that I would never have considered, but the fact is, preliminarily, I'm satisfied it can be done.

I'm massively tangenting, feel free to troll me. :P

Making up excuses vs using them to explain bad choices.

it really doesn't matter which kind of excuse you want to use - it's still excuses. You felt wronged, by who? The one or two people you spoke with in EoN? So you decided to back stab the entire alliance - for what?

Because back then your story was different - you did it to even the playing field. The side stuff wasn't mentioned nearly as much as that fact.

But now it's years later - let's bring it up! Hopefully, since the people involved at the time aren't here anymore, you can just say w/e you want and we're forced to believe it.

Cept - i helped EoN out quite a bit back then, and knew what was going on. You don't like being strong armed? You were a new group trying to prove yourself - and you did so through backstabbing.

That's pretty much bottom line - you had other options available to you, but you choose the most insulting one to the people you were dealing with and no level of excuses changes that.

tl;dr

...when a player leavers a Corp it's because they have no loyalty

Not true all the time, every time. Sometimes the most loyal act possible is stepping aside.

Actually TBA is FA...as was Almighty for a time...as was Kobrah for a time.

TBA was actually my 3rd in command until he quit the game in like march.

That being said...FA defended OH until OH finally got their act together right before rouge wedding. roughly 5 months.

FA gets decimated by rouge wedding...we stay in PC regardless losing battles to OH because I sacrificed family to keep a perceived promise to house what was left of renegade.

FA didn't start losing to OH until fusion and catdog swapped sides. and when they swapped back again...OH started getting crushed.

Had OH been our enemies when we were going hard against AE and winning a majority of battles...OH would never have stood a chance...indeed they got raped by AE and thus were thrust out of PC. While AE took a month and 25+ defenses to win one district from FA. a stark contrast.

OH had an amazing 6...but FA always possessed better depth until our a-team quit the game. and our history reflects that until I willingly sacrificed core members in order to help shep and the rest of the renegade refugees.

It really wasn't until a few months after FA quit en masse for Destiny that OH actually developed a better team...and by then it was in reality the equivalent of ERA...a conglomerate of the best from other corps.

Props to them...but 50/50 is really disingenuous if FA had pulled an OH and simply either 1. backstabbed the homies that gave them reprieve or 2.) stayed out of PC until they essentially "on top" again...and then I was still throwing battles because I didn't want DNS at 100% (which Tib's, Traky, and a few others were aware we were doing)

As always Radar has quite the revisionist history.

In the grand scheme of things FA at it's height was as marauder said "Better than us when their a-team is on during the week, and weaker than us during the weekend when our a-team is on" and we thrashed the ring teams all 18x ERA threw at us.

OH at it's height...thrashed by hellstorm...trashed by TP...decimated by AE...removed by ERA because they were too prideful to continue having FA field their teams...and then rebuilt in between to be the runt of the big boys.

unless you consider the OH that emerged 9 months ago the 'height' of OH...then I guess yeah OH after all the big boys were depleted were way strong. But that ain't the house that Radar built...

It was fun! I miss some of the guys tbh :(

When I was fighting FA, they didn't have FA tags. Still Red Star, Imperfects, etc etc. Did Snuggles ever have FA tags...? I don't remember him ever wearing those tags... but between losing family members, red wedding, and all of my other IRL stuff I had going on, I had quit the game several times by the time any of them bore the tags they hold now (or in the case of some, before they got into FA).

Like when I quit AE, I gave up my spot because Kujo had limited placement for people and I didn't want to retire due to family problems and take up space.

When I came back, all of my friends were in HVLP, so I joined that over trying to get back into AE because I was afraid AE might not take me back (in hind sight, after talking with the AE guys, I should have come back to AE), and then the red wedding, lost what family I had left on my dad's side (minus a crazy aunt), and I could not continue on with putting time into Dust.

I think, imo, the worst part of this whole thread, is Radars attempts to change history while then telling people they aren't loyal for being in different corps. Trash talk and blah blah blah are one thing, but to claim you are loyal because you have had the same tags for 2 years is to say that the guy with the Stapler in Office Space was a truly loyal employee too. Kind of why I diverted the questions of why I left the game in my CPM campaign. Questioning someone's loyalty to a corp or to something is stupid... lowest form of trolling, and absolutely pointless to bring up. Like a baby crying when they have nothing else to do.

But I digress... 0.H has never been good when there was any other corp in the game, and now that they are the panic merger of the remnants of what once was, they have no leg to stand on. At least they can claim they were the kings of a graveyard.

Down with the friendship blue donut.

TBA never fought for anyone other than FA during your time...he def had FA tags..he only PC'ed under 2 tags...FA and Pro Hic

http://dustboard.com/global/merc/The_Black_Art

You asserted you fought Almighty when he had Imp tags...he's been in Imperfects a total of 6 days since AE was conceived.

...Kobrah fought for OH only when he held FA tags...when he left for ERA he never fought for OH. (see An Abridged History of Cubs and Radar for more information)

So not to be argumentative over nitpicky ****, but the only thing I'm seeing is that Almighty had quit the game for the most part after MHPD until after rouge wedding. So it's completely possible that you fought him before he joined FA...Almighty will always be an Imp first though, just like Reg. FA is just where he hung his hat up :P

They fought for OH...but only because they were FA and FA defended OH until Blitz and Radar rewrote OH's lore to twist FA's place in their legacy...unwilling to admit FA was a friend through and through and brainwashing cats his his revisionist history ("Tell me more radar, this is so cool I love when granpappy Radar sits me on his lap and tells me stories!")

Snuggles was R* but he fought for ERA...he was part of the ERA smattering of ringers.

That was a long time ago, and the time line was very wonky. Here is one image I have easy access to. This was a hard team to fight:
http://s218.photobucket.com/user/Grimwulff/media-full//zatara_zpsa34a2608.jpg.html

Funny enough, that was for 0.H and the highest 0.H was Radar at 3/6 in 9th XD I guess, a very topical image indeed. Anyways, the time line is hazy in my head after a year and a half, so I will concede that.

That was a double stacked PC when you were an ally. Notice how few FA there really was. The reason I personally feel slighted by your history is you always leave out your growing pains. You leave out the 3 weeks of finding the talent that you did. You leave out the fact that 0.H gave your teams PC so you could practice and only fear of losing 0.H resources. You leave out how you aquired your first 3 districts given to you by 0.H.

My history is as hazy as yours I'm sure it's been so long ago but there are a few things I don't forget. It's the reason some older 0.H members are salty is because we helped you become a corp and as soon as you stood on your own two feet you chose Cubs and all the enemies we were fighting instead of allying yourself with those that helped you succeed. That was the biggest slap in the face I had ever received.

As far as 0.H never being a good team getting "Thrashed" by TP,AE,FA. Stay salty. I dnt need to defend my PC career as most of any battles against those teams were fought tooth and nail and usually came down to a single clutch speed hack on either side.

I have a growing pain in my panties.

I do enjoy certain animes. Stuff reminiscent to Hellsing

And while we're on the topic of talking crap about Radar, I heard he pees sitting down!

I heard that this "Derrith" guy has no gungame.

And he likes animu

{everything Princess Zatara has said since my last post}

Will never dispute the first fact.

But number 2... I uh, I only read the dating sim comments on steam to laugh!! That's it! I don't **** it to any of those, I swear!

Also, a friend of a friend of my cousins told me that Ghost isn't really a FA.g, and was seen not enjoying Boku.

Edit: You're kidding, wank is censored. Really?

You know... I used to not like you due to your playstyle (core nade) and the BS you would talk when I felt it was unwarranted...

But I am growing to like you more and more.

Never in my life would I imagine Kane and Radar would have this in common...both claim to have helped FA become a corp.

SMH

the ego has no end.

At least Kane brainstormed names

I still think Fatal Absolution was a dumb choice, lol.

What does Absolution mean?
