Work on 60 and VP keys if you still need it; make final preparations for Velious. *Important: Start smashing TMO. They chose to take in all of the servers scum - they are effectively Azrael, Friends, Good Guys, etc. now. Put their dicks in the dirt.*

Again, leadership failing.

I was telling them from the start, to take the good guys disband with strong consideration and not to let just anybody apply. I told them not to ignore players' history and deep rooted grudges on red and I was largely ignored. Their perspective being, "we're only letting these players apply, they aren't members until they prove themselves." which would make sense on blue but as the MOTD you posted shows, empire didn't know/care/give a shit about the difference between an app and member. They saw scumbags with TMO tags and decided to shit on us at any opportunity, rightfully so.

I spied on empire's guild chat through the entire TMO era and informed them of pretty much every single raid wipe attempt Empire ever threw at us, and rather than taking the advantage I had given them to stand their ground and camp empire on zone-ins using a surprise advantage, they would always make the call to camp out resulting in our raid being logout-camped for hours. I can't even count how many good players quit the guild or server because of the camp-outs. Just bad calls in general, I don't blame them because they were just as bad at PvP as us red players are at PvE but eh they really should have listened to the people who knew what they were talking about a little more.
