All these IB RNF's in the last day or so...

That was the deal breaker, it was made clear that Getsome would be the sole leader if a merger were to occur yet you guys pushed under some "fairness" clause you made up. You guys say he was rude but how many times can he say "No we will not change guild names and no we will not accept a co-leader" before it becomes beating a dead horse?

You have some fanciful idea of how this merger went down. Final terms were offered, you guys wanted to negotiate for non-negotiable terms. He wasn't being stubborn, he wasn't being a dick. You guys didn't accept the terms so he walked away from the deal.

There was no forcing FE to do anything, stop acting like big, bad IB was pushing the innocent FE membership around. There was a bottom line and it was not acceptable to you guys which is totally fine. What is questionable is the way FE quickly joined TMO under the EXACT same merger stipulations while vilifying IB. Your guild identity became that of victims. First is TMO being horrible cheaters, and blah blah blah. Now it's IB.

At the end of the day stop making this about some issue of morals or us "forcing" you guys into a situation, this was all about spiting IB because you collectively felt wronged by our terms for the merger. You felt so scorned that you were willing to join your greatest competitor - the guild FE was supposedly created to topple - and sell out in the process.

Telling lies then believing them yourself is just sad. No one mentioned morals. We mentioned options and what carried more weight. Getsome overvalued himself and IB thinking he could force people into just accepting terms. Much like your attitude "you guys wanted to negotiate for non-negotiable terms" after saying you had the power to set the final terms (Which you guys never had a strong enough standing to do) is what killed the merger. There was absolutely no willingness to make the terms agreeable. So to us it seemed "Be absorbed or else". For that there was a stronger option out there.
