wickedj Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 [quote name='caligula' date='18 July 2010 - 02:06 PM' timestamp='1279479978' post='2377554'] I think they were equally at fault. I viewed the GO thread as payment for the insulting notion that out of the blue that they have no idea what they were doing as an alliance when in fact they do. Could they have been the bigger man? Sure. Would that have been fun? No. Do either really care what we think? Probably not. /thread. [/quote] most importantly we all got to point and laugh at someone, thats why everyone read that thread.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flak attack Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Well, at least you showed you can man up and admit that you were the one that screwed up. That at least makes you better than GGA and Legion. That was still a really, really dumb this you did there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan King Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 My first thought upon hearing about this whole thing was "Wait, isn't Kevonovia in FAR? Who gives a 17 day member MoFA?" Thanks for clearing this up. You meant well, but you chose the wrong party to talk to. GO is part of the SuperComplaints backed lulzsphere and they couldn't resist the urge to punk you. Next time, I'd suggest talking to someone more trustworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathias Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Kev, I have no idea why you thought asking every alliance on Bob to merge into UPN was in the best interests of your alliance. You've been around long enough to know that that's a stupid idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris8967 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Kevanovia, you shouldn't feel embarrassed, you tried to help your alliance. It was funny bro. but I respect the effort and I respect you for taking all the blame. Hats of to you Kevanovia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style #386 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 [quote name='Schattenmann' date='18 July 2010 - 02:53 PM' timestamp='1279479205' post='2377524'] So I put the cart ahead of the horse and read this before I read GO's thread. Let me just go ahead and revise my opinion on page 1 before we get to the point no one sees it: GO are classless losers. You went to them representing UPN's interests, and made a proposal to them. If they didn't like what they heard, that should have been the end of the story. Their "hurfdurf UPN is desparate" thread and release of logs that are of no global importance whatsoever in an attempt to meet no goal except publicly humiliate you personally and UPN in general is an exercise in immaturity and idiocy. GO should be apologizing to you. [/quote] Damn son, you need to post more. I don't think I could have said this better if I tried. [quote name='Duncan King' date='18 July 2010 - 03:53 PM' timestamp='1279482766' post='2377660'] You meant well, but you chose the wrong party to talk to.

This really didn't require its own thread. [/quote] On the contrary. He could have posted his apology in the same thread, and it would have been buried on page six, easily glanced over by people tired of the trolls. Or he could make his statement anew, focus all the barbs in his direction, and (to use a cliche) take it like a man. Even with that list of gaffes I reiterated, I personally believe Kevanovia to be the better man of everyone here today, and I have communicated as such to Peggy_Sue. *edit: as awesome as Keve69 & his Grimace smilies are, the thread's about Kevanovia, and it would have been nice if I spelled his name right the first time!

Lord Levistus Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 You manned up, Kev, that takes some guts and it deserves some respect. Truth is no one is right all the time, and sometimes you need to screw up to learn how badly things could go. As long as one is able to learn from such experiences you can still come out ahead. I am kinda insulted you never came to us for a merger though, we'd have given it more polite consideration than GO if you truly wanted to merge into Valhalla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3nowned Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 As I said Kevanovia, you did a major screw up. Seems a bit amature-ish, but largely forgivable.

Lusitan Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I think you have your heart in the right place. However, using too much of your heart and too little of your head in FA usually means someone will make sure it is chopped off. In internal matters the survival rate is usually higher. You survived this round, let's see if you fare better next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
