you'd have to talk to EAM on that one.I dont know the whole story,how and why he did it is a mystery to all of us,and i couldnt get an answer out of him.Ask casino and see if he knows what happened there. |
Accidental, my eye!
EAM - being a friend of mine, and knowing that I was communicating with BC in an attempt to mediate a peaceful understanding between my current friends (EAM and Sheo) and a potential new one (BC) - contacted me asking my opinion.
I had already determined by talking with BC that Finnegas' refusal to accept BCs repeated attempts to end the hostilities that BC admits starting was the cause of the current drama.
So, in answer to EAM's request for advice, I suggested EAM make peace with BC and get Finn under control or out of EO.
He took my advice on peace with BC, but sadly, he failed to accomplish either of the options I suggested concerning Finn.
Meanwhile, Sheo decided he would rabidly defend his alliance members (honorable and admirable, in and of itself) even when he knows they are totally wrong (unacceptable). He warned BC that hiring mercs against Finn would be an act of war against EO. This would only be true if the leadership of EO failed to rid themselves of this bad apple which was rotting the reputation of the whole alliance and continues to do so. If Finn was no longer in EO, no action against Finn would be an action against EO.
Somewhere along the way, Finn and Sheo managed to sway EAM to their line of thinking that alliance members should be defended, even against justice.
I wish I had said so before, when it was obvious only to me and BC...a prophecy after the fact is public isnt much of a prophecy...but I knew very early on that if allowed to stay in EO, Finn would destroy all the work my friends had done to build a respectable alliance.
And now they have crafty and hammy begging for resources, hastening the demise, if not of the alliance, at least of the alliance's reputation.
I've suggested to EAM and Sheo privately, and now I do so publicly: Get rid of Finn, or your alliance will suffer. Now I add the names of crafty and hammy. This is not a threat, I will not take any action against my friends. But the wheels of justice move fast and hard in Illyriad, as evidenced by the demise of MK. And so, because I value my friends and their alliance, I say publicly; Finnegas, Hammy, and Crafty must be kicked from EO for the sake of the survival of the alliance.
