CP begins to fall?

jaws908 · #1 07-03-2007, 05:25 AM

Now in this deepened time of sorrow comes yet another great tragity, as Alan the great leader steps down. And is replaced with what? But a USDer who idles in trade and another USDer who disappears for 2 months after being called "active".

Now in this final hour we have what? Do no kingdoms truely remain now? I believe a mistake has been made, for I believe you will all see it true before the end. Felix held not even the rank of Commander, skipping several key ranks to become leader, whilst Yann, after quitting and claiming Graal Kingdoms stunk on ice(and I agree) comes back and instantly is rewarded. Bah I say, all here know there was really only one choice in this leadership, and not be it I, but you all know who it was.

Now I know I may mean nothing to the Pirate people as most new members wont know me, and the elder members may think of me as a traitor but hear this, The kingdom will regret these actions, events will deminish, the kingdom will decay, and your people will quit.

If you dislike my words dont read them, if you dislike my warnings dont heed them. The choice is yours for your kingdom, let it deminish or let it survive.

If they really did USD, then a horrible choice it was. I do agree that there were better candidates.

jaws908 · #4 07-03-2007, 06:33 AM

Its Proven both of them USD'd I wont give names of buyers/sellers due to privacy but believe you me they have.

On top of that Yann immediately leaving? Good leadership right there.

However dont think of me or anyone here as flamers or haters, I and others have an opinion that needs to be heard. Open your eyes and view the truth behind the mistake.

That's why I nominated Paul.

Oh well.

jaws908 · #6 07-03-2007, 06:56 AM

Personally I would have settled for a Paul/Proto combo, both are active enough to watch eachothers backs, Proto is just a bit too "Rpish". But then agian being a Pirate needs RP.

But letting 2 USDers skip ranks to take the leadership, thats just unfair, Dont forget Yann was retired.

I'd rather not hear about people usding from a scammer and account sharer. It'd be more believable coming from the mouth of someone who has yet to perform an illegal graal activity.

That's not off topic. He is perfectly just in saying that seeing as you see fit to make accusations towards others as well.

I see it offtopic, either way I didnt scam him, I lent him my Fid and zormite shield whilst I took a break and played zone, I came back he wanted to keep them but I took them back(after like 2 months) he claimed I scammed him but I clearly lent them to him. Staff never got involved because they were my items to begin with. But really I'd much rather stay with the subject here.

As for Yann's absence, sorry but real life comes before games. Read his post about his absence.

CP will only fall if the people who once made it a great and proud nation fall away from it.

Even so I think even he knows he could have choosen better, Dont get me wrong I dont hate Yann or Felix, I dont think anyone here does, I just dont see him fit to rule. Everyone I talked to before gov was picked ATLEAST said Felix shouldnt be gov, if not that they said Paul should be gov. As I said Proto would have been good too. When I spoke to Felix about being gov, I asked him what he could do for the kingdom, what made him better than everyone else. His reply "I have good leadership skills" Everything else was "dunno" or something along those lines, EVERY mayor/commodore/commander has "good leadership skills" I want to see someone with more than that as leader.

Yann... well he clearly hates GK, hes told me before. Hes probably not coming back, he'll probably quit AGIAN. Or he might leave the kingdom 'for kicks' agian.

Common policy? Before this well considered hand off including a week of nominations (of which Felix got the most), common policy was to sell CP for USD or give it to a buddy not even in the kingdom!

Extraordinary? Personally I prefer a leader who is solid, dependable, loyal *coughs at Ricky*, helps the members and loves to sail and fight. Whether or not it was the best possible choice, I am satisfied CP is in good hands. But one thing I learned as Governor, is that no matter what choices you make in any matter, you will have Monday morning quarterbacks who say they could have done better.

Felix's prime was him having his perfect USD set, now Alan I love ya and all but not this choice. I've known you to make the right choice, and you know me to point out mistakes, so far with his leadership I've seen him idling in trade, no different then anyone else.

You used to be a man who lived by the code of common policy, have you changed so? *nods* shame to see the kingdom end this way.

loyal? agian, Yann has quit GK, left CP, and yelled at anyone who trys to talk to him, I cant even get close to that person anymore. As for me, though not on topic agian, I've left CP several times, so? Im not running for Gov am I? I've always looked over CP threw others and kept my opinion heard. You may not know it but I'm behind more than you know.

And for felix's short message im not quoting(dont really want a wall of text), rumors? You've told me yourself you USD'd, no rumors mate, Yanns told me on MSN he USD'd then bought for USD, and you better try you better try harder than Alan did if you want to make something of that kingdom in this age.

Firstly, I have never seen you online to see anybody idleing in trade.
And he certainly hasn't been idleing. He might be in bomb trade. But he's there, at the computer and talking to people. He's also been doing a lot of maps lately, so he is hardly in bomb trade. And if you do see him in bomb trade saying "BRB" in the corner. It's because we have a 2 year old sister that we are contasntly running around after.

Anyway, Felix has been loyal to the kingdom, Spent over 2 years working hard to get trough the ranks. Yeah, he might have skipped ranks. He didn't get most of his ranks through level. He got them through trust, and skill. He's been very loyal, unlike the handful of people who left the kingdom asoon as they didn't get Governor. If he didn't get the promotion, he would have stayed in CP.

Gothika · #13 07-03-2007, 08:58 AM

I was expecting somthing like this from you sooner or later Ricky. I knew how much you didn't want Felix to become Governor.
Obviously, Alan though Felix and Yann were right for the job. Why can't you just let them get on with it, and give them a chance before you criticize them.

jaws908 · #14 07-03-2007, 09:26 AM

Its agianst common policy to let someone skip to such a high rank, I've never known Felix to be and more "Extraordinary" than anyone else. I think Alan could have easily made a better choice.
