Cause fuck things like integrity and friendship, when you can bust open the loot pinatas with 70+ people.

The FE/IB merger terms were more than reasonable. Most guilds that absorb another guild would just expect them to immediate assimilate to their rules and culture. IB did a nice job of creating provisions to help the merger like the dual DKP/loot council system.

Let's cut the bullshit and be honest here, FE. In the end, it all came down to elf simulator pixels. It was straight up admitted to me by multiple friends in FE that when choosing between TMO and IB, the #1 factor was which guild would net the most Velious pixels.

Hypocrites.

Even if we lose some mobs, I'd rather kill Hoshkar with 30 than wipe to Nexona with 70. I've always been more motivated by challenge and competition than loot. Some people play solely for loot, and that's fine but, but let's be honest about it instead of blaming IB for some bullshit that never happened.

Please explain what I said that was hypocritical. Or did you just use that word because I called FE hypocrites?

I was never in BDA. The only guild I was in prior to IB was The A-Team.

That's the thing IB expected us to just accept being absorbed and accept unreasonable terms. We were half of the raid force and most of the DPS at raids (Which has shown vibrantly true since the split). Getsome thought they were stronger than they were and assumed they would dictate terms to FE until they accepted. There was very little respect being shown and an ultimatum basically "that is happens this way or we stop raiding together".

He made the other options we had more admirable with his attitude. IB was in no position to demand terms to FE and "absorb" FE because we knew our options. We told him our options and he remained unreasonable. FE was not under pressure to be absorbed by IB instead of having equal footing. We actually wanted the merge to happen. Getsome set terms and had an attitude that wasn't respectful to anyone but himself. He made TMO the more appealing option by trying to strong arm FE into being absorbed without any of our concessions being met. If we wanted that we had other options stronger than IB.

BTW to all IB members who do not know this. During the last discussion FE had with Getsome about these concerns and stipulations of the merge...It was presented to him that he could even choose which FE officer would be co-leader... He said "IB will be raiding alone from this point forward" without even considering it. Your guild leader stopped all discussions at that moment. It was FE who stopped trying to negotiate.

Refused because no way we would have Unbrella as co-leader. I mean we're talking about Unbrella, the guy that trained his own guild on a unguilded monk to make belive it was TMO training them, LAL. or pretty much anyone from FE because:

But TMO (see my signature's links for an update on the history of mutual respect and friendship between FE and TMO) was a better option because.. well because. Unbrella said it was. There. They never were that terrible. Alarti is just a tender heart, and Tiggles ? i always thought he was funny ! And co-leadership is over rated. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Eurasia/TMO has never been the enemy, Estasia/IB always has been !

LOL IB on a high horse? You mean like (officer) Perun using SEQ getting suspended and taken back.
Or Daliant RMT, or Kinsawt and a large portion of your guild RMTing with a staff member.
Oh wait.... gmVirtuosos soulfire heal/recharging on raids, gmCyrius suspending people at his camps gmXzerion using the dev environment to give IB a leg up prior to VP instead of "developing".

Please tell me more about your ethics.

BS Unbrella said to Getsome in Vent chat he could choose the co-leader from our officer core. That is all I will add to this to finish. IB while you have great players were in no position to force FE to do anything. We knew that. Getsome didn't. We asked for terms to make it equal and were told raiding together was finished. We sought out another option. Best of luck to IB I hold no grudges with you guys. Just telling the truth here.

Been show vibrantly true? We've killed Hoshkar with 30 and you struggle on him with 55+.

And still you don't address the fact that none of your options were "existing as a guild" you keep dodging the issue that you were forced to merge with someone else. Youve convinced yourselves you were in some kind of allstar freeagent situation where you could dictate your contract when in reality TMO never would've even gone for a merge with you guys if they knew FE wouldnt be merging with IB otherwise.

Literally everyone in IB knows this, but keep thinking theres some kind of coverup by Getsome.

BTW to all TMO members who dont know this, we regularly use Lazie's posts on your guild recruitment thread to get exact timers on mobs if we were too lazy to take note of it since he bumps your thread immediately every time a mob dies.

When have we struggled with Hoshkar ? We had a complete desync on him when you guys camped out during an engage. The rest of the time we have engaged Hosh we killed him with minimal losses. You guys still struggle to get dps to login to kill the dragons you pull.

This is literally the truth.. There was more respect from TMO leadership shown than from Getsome. From the first conversations they were the more reasonable and even minded people that discussed things with our leadership. It makes a difference. Respect goes a long way. IB has some great players so don't take what I say as disrespect. But if it comes to being absorbed it is the weaker option overall especially when the leadership is giving literally zero respect during discussion or concessions to make things easier for everyone to accept. Simple answer for merging Velious is on the horizon our goal was always to form the strongest guild we could.

When IB slammed the door via Getsome thinking we had to accept his terms or else and we wouldn't and he basically quit discussions because of his stubborness. It made the decision easy. People in our guild let go of their grudges to do what was best for everyone going forward. They were reasonable even though it was hard for a few of the members to let go of some things. It's saying a lot when those same members were unwilling to except IB's, terms but would work with TMO.
