Opinions are fine, seeking answers and sharing wisdom regarding a tricky subject/matter are fine, however very little about this particular thread resembles an open and constructive medium that all members of this community can freely contribute and participate in to resolve an issue. This thread is nothing but a disquised ploy and last-ditch-effort to gain outside support on a purely inside matter (the direction and goals of our squad).
So, you're saying Twitchy was NOT the CO for almost a decade?
Also, you're saying that Skuzzy had to replace Syko as the CO of POTW because Twitchy's name was still there? Once a CO's account goes inactive, the squad is automatically disbanded. Syko only then needs to send squad invites and have the new squad named the same as was before.
Twitchy hasn't been an active participant in the POTW for many years. When I first joined POTW I heard rumors that he might pop online once every year or two, but that he was a very rare sight since he originaly had to leave due to RL troubles many years ago.
His name and legacy though (as the founding leader) has been shared and passed down from pig to pig though, so every active pig in the squad did know of Twitchy and who he was. He just popped back up a few weeks ago and we of cource scooped him imediatley back up and into our ranks. However, not much time passed before Twitchy wanted to regain full control of the squad and lead it in a direction he desired. This disagreed though heavily with a signifigant majority of us pigs (I'm being generous to Twitchy when I say about 9 out of 10 of us silently or vocaly disagreed with Twtichy's intentions). That's what I know and personaly witnessed.
If you want details about what happened (from what I was told) about 7-8 years ago, I've only heard it through word of mouth and the grapevine within the squad (the same as most members today), however quite a few pigs that were around back then and who were involved in the actual preservation of the squad are still around and active today. Drop me a line sometime you have a moment online in the arena Kermit, or stop by the POTW forum and post some questions you have. This was a long time ago, and I'll tell you what was told me and most of the other pigs, but I'll try my best to get someone who was actually there and involved to answer your questions.
