Open letter to A1

[kentuequi]

Ok, i didn't saw it coming, but now i'm accused of being reckless toward A1, it's not a drama thread (don't worry GS), i just want to be clear and hope A1's member can understand since i respect A1 and still feel proud from being an ex-A1 who prefered take his own road. Some attacked me, like the two posts below show, (i have no hard feeling against otto7, maybe he didn't understand something which drive him to bad conclusion, i always enjoyed the few games we played, and would have liked others, i prefer having no feeling for GS for now for personal reason.)

I wouldnt expect more from pete and kent but to try and put misery and hate against their old guild. Each person's route already proves who everyone is imo... People see and judge..

And pete and ken are always lurking, trying to troll and be vicious toward A1 and myself. Seriously, when has ken or pete not jumped at the chance to "take me down a peg"? So please ignore their posts.

(note for the funny part of these posts "pete & ken" like "Bony & Clide" or "Sherlock Holms & Dr Watson", "Tom & Jery", lol, i like it, pete always be one of my favorite character on this forum)

So in short, and seriously, GS PM me asking me to stop bothering A1.. Wth ? What did i do to you (who feel offended) what did i say ? If it's the joke about burning Wtzky, it's a 4~5 months old joke i made on A1 forum during a drama, like : "take a random guy "Wtzky" burn him in public as the trouble maker and everyone will be calmed, it works anytime..". So the only one who can feel offended can be Wtzky, if so, i apologize to him for taking him as the random guy 4~5 months ago (life can be harsh ).

This thread is just because i like most of the members of A1, always enjoyed games with you, reading articles, and don't know what happened to be seing as an anti-A1 player ? And hope that will close the missunderstanding.

For those who already told me there's no problem with them, thanks for your PM.

For those who think i'm still a jerk, don't bother posting here and make this thread a new drama, which will discredit A1.

@Hatts, you already admited you're a jerk, so no worries, i like people who speak the thruth anyway.

am i talking out of place here, as someone who refuses to take part in this silly guildshit? possibly. but i'd like to give a pretty penny (specifically, two) in.

Kent, i think what is going on here is a slight sense of abandonment and distrust from that whole 'fracturing' phase. A1 literally shattered. some of its best players left, and the whole event birthed like, 3 or 4 different guilds, all of which strive to compete (in a sense) with their mother guild. people are raw, man. some are gonna take words to the core and let it fester. and you know, that's gonna be something that naturally happens. of course you all respect each other, but some may not see eye to eye on the same issues.

you know, just like I really can't get away with trolling GS, or GDC, or you, or, well, anyone around here. and it's all because im not, and never have been, and probably never will be close with anyone. you guys have distanced yourselves, and no matter how much respect you have, you can't expect to get away with the same stuff you used to. of course, this'll all heal up. but it's a process.

(please note that i said "I THINK". i could be wrong.)

Good evening,

Please, excuse my bad english as it is not my native langage.
No one knows me on this forum and I barely know people.
I am really not here to comment on who said what or whatever.

I just wanted to say (and I do hope I am not the only one) that I do feel very sorry to read so much… whatever interventions since now few days on the forum…
I passed most of my time on this forum reading Kent's, GS' and others people's (can't write them all here ) replys to improve my pleasur with this game, and you are all part of it.

I do truelly think you are good gamers, liking challenges… All of you.
Moreover, you put lots of efforts and times by testing and studying decks ; you took time to write feedbacks, which is a wonderful treasure for "lurkers" like me.
I always enjoyed all of your intervention, and I believe that there is no good point by being right or wrong, whatever we said, or did.

Forgive people, guys, you are human, no bot!
Do not jump on one word, keep in mind that if you are really trying hard to be understood, someone may not have it the way you wanted to. Because you expressed badly yourself and/or because the one you're talking to did not understand.
And it's okay!
Meet around a table, with a glass of something you will enjoy to drink, and you, adult people (I didn't call 'Adolt :P), will be enough clever and… sensitive to go on like you did one time. And it's also okay to be mad sometimes, but don't get confused, still take a breath, and remember why you are here: to play and to enjoy playing!

So just to inform you that people are really enjoying reading your interventions on this forum.
Keep it in mind, I think you know it, because you always share your knowledge.
And I do believe again that by sharing too much you are not begining to hate to loudly.

Have all a nice day/evening, thank you all for your sharing time, and keep up the good work, whatever!
Truelly yours.
A lurker fan.

As an active forumite, it saddens me to see the people and guilds I like (admire some even) fight like kids over little things. I might not be understanding everything or know everything but from outside it looks childish to me. I hope this tense atmosphere between good people be over soon.

I have no problem with you Kent.

I'm not sure why the drama happened on the other thread. It was all off topic and not needed. I've said all that was needed to be said in my "A1 a new dawn" thread on the topic that derailed that thread - people are free to find that post and read my official statement. Anything else that is said is the opinions of individuals.

By the way, I am the only official spokesperson for A1 and I haven't sent you any pm's to leave anyone alone, so maybe your post should be entitled "An open letter to GS and Otto"

My only issue in the last week has been with one person trying to interfere with the rules of a tournament by throwing money at it to get people to conform to his ideology.

[kentuequi]

Thanks all for your input, i mostly agree with you. Hey, lukers' one nice to ear you're having fun,

@Wtzky, thanks for your reply, as for your edit, i didn't entitled the thread "open letter to otto7 and GS" cause (i might have missunderstood) i have been told that others A1 members shared otto7 and GS point of view, so i wanted to talk to the whole A1, even the non-vocal's member. Now if they understand and change their mind or not isn't depending of me. I said what i though i could be good to know.

[GS]

I think it's the fact when you troll me, most often your trolls are ALSO an attack against A1 because my comment is ABOUT A1, kent.

I mean, if you want to troll me, go for it. But the misunderstanding may be coming from the fact you're usually trolling me when I'm talking about A1 matters, or trying to be serious about something.

It can only be considered harassment when that kind of thing happens, and that's not good imo.

But I'm all for moving on. We're adults, I only really dislike three people in shadow era, and I'm not telling who because we don't need the wars.

@Hatts, you already admited you're a jerk, so no worries, i like people who speak the thruth anyway.

LOL. Not entirely sure why I'm being called out here, I try to give the guild bickering a wide berth... Thanks I guess?

I'd like to think that I don't discriminate in my trolling, if I think you deserve it I don't look at the guild tag. Just ask Gus.

I have no hard feelings against anyone who has left A1, I don't see the point, it's just a game. Being in A1 has kept me interested in SE for longer than I would have otherwise, but the bickering between past and current members (and those on the sidelines) makes me less interested in being in any guild.

Life is too short to argue over video games.

Definitely more coherent than I would expect then
