BloodFury Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I enjoy Polar finding reasons to justify any actions that they have taken in the past to this present day. The biggest issue is that you refuse to accept any responsibility for the actions of your past governments and the actions of its past members that have put it in the place it is at now. If it had apologized and tried to fix some of it's relationships it would probably not be in the position it is in now. I don't think I have ever seen an alliance act so pompous after getting pounded numerous times. I believe it was a Polaris leader that once called an alliance out for being pompous and it's attitude unbecoming of the community, then proceeded to attack said alliance. Maybe you should take that advice yourself, or follow in that alliances example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is that you and many others stayed in Polar to enable Grub's betrayal, then remained in the alliance afterward; of all of you in government, and of everyone in the senior membership (and of almost everyone in the general membership), only Moridin had the fortitude to resign and quit the alliance, for which brave and noble act he was widely condemned as a traitor by members of your alliance. And if you all are were again to find yourselves in a a situation similar to Bipolar (highly unlikely, because you'll be an insignificant, smoking crater by the time this war is over), and if Random were to do the same thing Grub did, you'd all do it all over again without blinking.

Grub came to believe, rightly I think, that he lost the confidence of the Body Republic after the TOP fiasco and he committed to abdicate once he cleaned up the mess he created. So, to put it in democratic parlance, he was confirmed as Emperor through mass consent and he resigned once the consent was withdrawn. Given the crisis, however, he stayed on in a caretaker capacity until the crisis was resolved. Does that absolve Polar for betraying TOP? No clue. But it does, I hope, give you a better insight into how Polar works so you can stop parroting the "OMG EMPEROR IS POLAR" line.

Coup an Emperor at a time of great confusion and foreign war, because that always works out well for the alliance at the center? We were not willing to kill our alliance. So we helped kill yours. Hate us if you want, but no rational individual who actually wanted their alliance to survive would have reacted any other way.
