First of all...yes, I decided to pretty much turn it into a primary and secondary alliance. Call it the scrubs, minors, whatever you want, but that's exactly what the plan is to be. Seperate those who are being elitist and demanding, from those who want to play idly. That's where every single player who's left has come down to. They're wanting to win, and don't see it happening as it was. From what I saw, it came down to leave it how it is and watch our strongest players continually get seduced away, or try to regroup it into those who want to be part of a very serious alliance with it, and those who wanted to play casually. Hopefully then we might have less conflict, and can still keep "CF".

As far as a "scrub" league, or "minors", whatever you want to call it...what's wrong with that? The idea to having the "main" alliance was to have it be stronger, perhaps more competitive. For those who want to be in it, they have to step up more. Don't want to? Alright, we've got the secondary alliance. Less restriction, and hell, maybe that one we can keep inactives, ppl who want to check in once a week. As far as abandoning people...right now, the "main" alliance people are some of the ones sending resources to Lyug so that we can get both embassies up to size to have everyone.

Anyways, I suppose long story short...yes, I pissed people off. Yes, I could have approached it, and communicated it better. Have I "screwed" anyone by doing it? No. To me, it seemed the only way to hold ANY integrity to the alliance being "CF", and in all honesty, if this doesn't manage anything, I fully see that people are going to likely go off towards whatever large alliance they think will be best.

As for myself...yes, I want to win. No, I don't expect it to happen, but I'm going to damn well try, and it's obvious that many of those who're playing in our group aren't willing, or aren't able to play it how would be needed, so we need to have that distinction. Do I know nessecarilly who goes in which? No. Hence, show it, and we'll fix things.

Also, disclaimer....no, I'm probably not the best leader in the world, but it's what's available, so I'm doing the best as I see it.
