Had you said, "Yes, I like this idea and this is my addition to it or how I'm going to participate" and then Catt said "I'm reluctant, but I support it and would like to see 'this' happen." We could have moved forward. But it seemed like it was all being put on my shoulders, and I wasn't 100% sure I was right, so, we waited.
Honestly, I did see this as being a new/different TKV. I fully intended to pick on the smaller and weaker. To be the bully. We've all been doing that. You KNOW you haven't been asking those other cities for the free resources! But I also had no intention of backing down from difficult odds. I LOVE fighting as the underdog. Cause I know I'm smart enough to work through it. But with UO, I didn't have to say "You know what? I think we should war with FS!. They are messing with people at the bank and that's wrong." We would both see it happening. We'd have a short discussion about it. We would BOTH scout out their houses, we would BOTH recon the banks and learn their habits and then we'd move forward. I NEVER felt like if we got our asses kicked by FS!, it would be all my fault. I felt that here.
Lastly, it was mainly you and I in UO. We had people following us, but they were only in it for the kill. If we provided them with targets, they'd follow us to hell and back. Here, we had passive people who DIDN'T want targets. They wanted flowers and friends.

I didn't think I was, nor did I WANT to be, supreme leader of TKV in LOU. But I was willing to be the public voice of TKV and keep everyone informed, etc. But I thought we could make decisions as a team. But again, when apposing views were presented, those views were never resolved/meshed together. Talk just stopped.
All that being said, I am happy to SHARE the blame for this merger. However, I will NOT accept the blame if DK fucks us over because MY version of the terms were that NO DK members would hold a position higher than officer in the game. Cause anything higher and they have the ability to kick key members of TKV out of the alliance, and we just handed our whole alliance to DK. So, the fact that they have that power is NOT my fault.

So, this might not be the best direction for the alliance in some people's opinion, but they voted for it with their silence!
Oh, lastly. I said when we all started playing that I hate EA, and if I can ruin the days of paying EA customers and make them leave the game, then, score one for me and my boycott. So, I WANT to be a bad guy in lou.
