    I consider kershbs to be the MI6 leader at this point. Chimera is an irrelevant pimple. Anyone in MI6 that doesn't needs to have their head checked.

     

    I'm not the MI6 leader *anyway*.  I've served as M for one term in the past...eight?  And it was to coordinate the rebuild after last war.  MI6's current M's are ForSparta and Avakael, and I've made it quite clear internally in MI6 that I don't intend to run for M anytime soon.  I know that messes with the 'hurr durr Chim is literally MI6 dear god' nonsensical circlejerk you guys have got going on in here, but that is the truth of the matter.

     

    And if Kersch wants to run for M, he knows damn well I'd support him. :P

     

    Also, I went to PM after the war started, not before.  Not my fault nobody came and hit me.  I'll be out soon enough, but you guys have fun with the narrative in the meantime.  It's pretty damn entertaining, I'll grant you that.

    Not exactly sure what you are inferring, but Xanth never applied to MI6.  Pretty sure Xanth and MI6 will both reliably testify that there was no love lost between them.

     

     

    Which, if true, would prove my point that he doesn't shy away from activity that would have such a result.  This must involve the Knights of Ni issue with PPO -- yes, I was...  on vacation.

     

    But I feel we may be hijacking the thread at this juncture.

     

    Yeah, I hate that, too.  Xanth is a really cool dude, and he posted a topic specifically asking to be recruited.  We thought it would be really cool and funny if we went INSANELY overboard...he took it as insulting instead of silly, and I'm sure we were inadvertently dicks instead of being fun, and it's led to years of animosity.  I regret that a lot, because Xanth and I had always gotten along really well until then.  Sometimes, !@#$ just happens between people.  I'd fix that in a heartbeat if I thought I could.

    I gave ya advice, man. Like you asked for in the thread. No use complaining now if you're going to burn for the next couple of months. You chose to take the advice of Tywin, a guy that you tossed out of SNX, instead.

     

     I thought you served as an excellent object lesson for the peanut gallery. You fit right in with MI6's rep though, so don't bother changing now. 

     

    My main comment was for Tywin, who still thinks you shoulda stuck with SNX. At the time, I thought you fit with Polar better, and didn't care to see ya rolled. That opinion has changed quite a bit, now.

     

    Edit: All in all, you have one hell of a sense of timing. DoW is posted, then you join MI6 5 hours later. I would think Tywin planned it, but it was just a happy coincidence for him, since he had no idea. 

     

    Caustic don't like Chimera sending recruiting messages to NGers, especially after we rolled him once already for poaching. Chimera learns about as well as you do.

     

    Hold on.  What NG member have I ever recruited?  Even I've got standards.  The only ex-NG that's ever joined MI6, to my knowledge, were Kerschbs (from GATO when we formed), and...crap, what was his name.  The guy we kicked out.  Unkajo.  

     

    MI6 has certainly poached in the past, and we aggressively recruit active people looking for homes, but I genuinely don't believe I've ever recruited anyone from NG.

     

    Edit: I'm being told Kersch was never in Non Grata.  Sorry, Kersch, didn't mean to sully your good name.

    Nah, he should've listened to someone that actually asked what he wanted instead of jumping for the first two "Durr, my alliance best, Durr" people that showed up. He would've been fine in Polar.

     

    Politics is acknowledging that, no, not everyone has to join MI6, Chimera. My orbital baby cannons await MI6, no matter what you might tell me on IRC. That might've been over a war ago, but it sounds like some things never change.

     

    Which brings me to a good general rule, kids. If someone jumps straight to a hard sell, then odds are good that they're selling you trash. If someone actually checks on your needs and thoughtfully tries to meet them, you'll actually get what you want without getting that MI6 panic later

     

    Devin spent like...six or eight hours on IRC getting to know our guys before applying?  And he's already participated in multiple community events here.  I wouldn't worry too much about him.  I doubt very much that he's unhappy.  Orbital baby cannons?  They'd have to be really big babies, right?  They'd just burn up in re-entry and we'd get showered with blood and body parts.  Which honestly just sounds like now we're in a death metal music video.

    He doesn't seem angry. He put his words quite eloquently, actually.

     

    In any case, is your lack of rebuttal to be taken as an acceptance of what has been said?

     

    I don't really see any need to rebut abject nonsense, frankly.  Bomber routinely rejected direct orders from the M's - the alliance had made it quite clear, an opinion that, yes, I shared, that a relationship and alliance with TBC was not something anyone in MI6 (yourself included) wanted, 'natural' ally or not.  They burned too many bridges, and it's pretty clear they've been planning to do this for a very long time.

     

    And the accusations of poaching, when your government keeps a posted list of MI6ers they intend to poach, is one of the funniest god damn things I've ever had the pleasure of reading on this forum.

    I'm fairly certain the last person who was 'incessantly badgered' about joining by MI6 was Xanth, in a thread that went very hilariously wrong, a very long time ago.  It's all well and good that you guys are coming up with excuses after the fact - that's certainly your right - and we're more than happy to take (most) of you down a few pegs.

     

    Have fun out there, TBC. I'd say I'm sorry it's come to this between us, but god, I really would be lying then.

    To play Devil's Advocate for a moment, it's a bad look for anyone in a leadership role to hit peace mode, regular members is a different subject.

     

    And to play Devil's Devil's Advocate, I don't intend to stay there.  What the hell is the strategic value of letting the enemy choose when they engage me when they've given me the opportunity not to do so?
