Please allow me to state my intentions in authoring this post. While I did realize that some would interpret this post as an attempt to brown nose the leadership of eGO, the fact is that I still feel the sting from my last clan, which fell apart because of ONE power hungry member. One of the origonal members eventually became an officer and later clan leader. When he decided that he was done playing WoW, he decided to disband the guild rather than just pass on the position of leader, as was done to him. My clan never recovered. The guild lost thousands of gold that was in the guild bank and tens of thousands in rare and valuable items. While the guild did reform, it never recovered from such a staggering loss and decayed to the point of collapse. That's how I came to TF2: I'd lost my community in World of Warcraft and no longer had heart to play it.
One man's selfishness utterly destroyed my clan. I still feel the sting from the event and seeing all of this talk about people demanding promotions aroused very strong and bitter feelings. I DO understand what you mean when you don't think making this post was a good idea; I agree with that notion. My feelings, however, were too strong to keep to myself. I HAD to write this or I think I'd've exploded.
The outrage, the indignation, the hurt, the frustration, the resentment, the exasperation needed some means to be expressed, and this was, for better or worse, my way of cleaning my closet.
Make of it as you will.
