Ever think he was phishing to see who was
naive enough to take him seriously?
....snip.....
I'd love to believe he wasnt serious, 96D....but it was clear from what he said to me that he meant it. He saw nothing wrong with working to get people he thought weren't
"good for the team" to leave, and said that was the reason he offered money for them to go. He said outright that it was better for the Rooks that they had left --
"a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand" was how HE put it.
With that statement alone you cannot seriously claim that he was kidding.
Also -- if it were a troll, when I called him on it on country channel why didn't he just say "gotcha" on country channel? My "jerk" like behavior was, honestly, continuing to ask the question over and over while he continued to avcoid answering. He only would answer in PM later. At any poin the could have ended it by yanking in the hook on the mother of all country trolls, but he didnt.
I'm not on a mission here; I didnt even bring stone's actions into this thread until your claim that he was just kidding. But, if you're going to absolve him of responsibilty for the current situation I'd like to see you do it logically and with regard to the facts.
I would love nothing more than to have this all be some big misunderstanding. Stone's the one slamming fighter guys (
"we just captured 30 -- what are YOU doing to help the team? Or are you busy padding your score?" -- another direct quote) Stone's the one who told Hoarach
"You old time players just have to realize that your way of playing is gone forever. We are the wave of teh future, and you'll just have to adjust to the new AH." So you cant really claim he's jsut a fun loving guy and we're all paranoid.
(BTW if he denies those statements on your squad channel we can see about providing some proof....)
