I didn't want any bad blood coming between IO and FGS
There's none.
I dont think anyone, xcept possibly GODZ think u are a troublemaker.
I dont think it is fair to say this was an attack on IO. The doc was posted to find out who was truly lying, I never truly suspected that Daemon could do things as were being suggested. Two members of the forums are FGS remember...The reason Kothar did that in your forums is because I asked him to. The reason I asked him to is that Elemental told me:
1. IO were deleting his posts
2. IO blocked him from certain sections of the IO site
3. He had issues with JCD
3. He was going to be thrown out
4. He was interested in mapping for a clan which had servers.
5. He felt JCD was not promoting/assisting his maps.
He suggested various clans to me, none of them seemed a valid option for a mapper. There was no attempt to steal him, it was a logical conclusion to apply for FGS, based purely on mapping.
6. But he wouldn't apply till we agreed to HIS request that I posted and invitation on his.
At that time I was getting on very well, with Jonesy and Daemon, fighting regularly on DXMS and Z with them. It was the first time since JCD decided to remove me from IO forums and since we fell out on GODZ, that I was not being flamed by IO.
I hope you realize that I have no intention of slandering or flaming IO.
I acted on information that Elemental gave me. I do not wish to be accused of lying again, but I feel Kami needs to understand what happened. I cant speak for Elemental, but as far as FGS was concerned, the invitation was a solution to a mapper's dilemma, nothing else.
I told Elemental I didnt wish to destroy my new found peace and respect with IO and in any case I was banned, so this is why Kothar invited him. Elemental claims he had offers from 8 clans that week. There is no point in any coming here and saying that Elemental's claims about IO, are lies by Shadowrunner, no-one is interested. He left and joined FGS, now he is even more fed up with clans...why dont we all drop it and only suggest some positive and peaceful solutions.
Like you said Kami, JCD banning me was before your time, therefore any discussion is truly irrelevant, Daemon and you and Cereal and Jonesy are the backbone of IO these days, an entirely new set of people. There is little point in us falling out over JCD's actions, or Elemental's actions, especially to start a new round of accusing...
My problem with JCD, was name-calling, accusing me cheatin without evidence and demanding the end of my IA clan, if I lost a match to IO. Again this is irrelevant now...
Suggestion - IO and FGS resolve any remaining differences via msn or pm
