ESD has never been, is not now, nor ever will be what most of you see as an FFA Clan. That ain't the way ESD works. A couple of our guys decided to adjust how THEY wanted to play after that. And that's cool. But nobody dictates how an ESD member plays the game.
Each member does or does not do what they want or do not want to do based on the immediate situation. It shouldn't be really hard to understand. ESD has always been, is now, and always will be simply a co-operative of players who individually choose to play how they they wish so long as they follow some simple rules and don't fluff up the game play of non-clan players.
There is no "leader" in ESD. We are ALL leaders and NONE of us are leaders. We are a collective. I just happen to be the guy who handles issues when someone needs a contact.
Which is pretty funny considering that ESD goes out of its way to AVOID issues by not permitting grabs on players outside the tag.
When NBK FS'd ESD, they were basically telling each and every one of us that we would NOT play like we wanted but rather how THEY wanted us to play.
Most of us decided that was an unacceptable attitude. But in the spirit of the philosophy of ESD, a couple players decided to change their path and found some fun in pursuing continued play.
I'm extremely PROUD of that. Jade Penn and Swedish Viper are exercising the very guarantee that ESD provided them from the moment they tagged up to begin with. THEY "get it". It is totally up to THEM whether they fight back and NOT up to NBK.
My work is done here. :)
