SS, Allies and Enemies,
Shadow Syndicate is in new command, yet again, though this will be last for a while.
Recently, the group's founder, Scorchio/Kamenwati, retook the reigns of the group. All was fine and I maintained a position high up in the command. Then I started noticing what was happening.
Most of the past SS left in the merge of Covert and SS into what it is now. I say left hesitantly because, in all honesty, most were exiled by Kamenwati for speaking up and telling him they didn't approve of the transition.
Now, voicing your opinion is cause for exile? No. I asked Kame this but all he said was that they were being "obnoxious" about it. I held back my response thinking he would do the same to me and if I wanted to keep the SS I knew alive then this couldn't happen.
Then RB, Royal Blood, declared war. We declined due to insufficient forces, or inactivity. I've seen nothing being done to correct this, at all.
Then there's the "wars" we've won since Kame came into power. We didn't win anything. We piggy backed on the backs of our allies under the premise of supporting them.
I believed this to be the case until today's incident with HAU and AL. I saw Kame talk about how it was an "SS" win but then TDW, The Dark Warriors, informed him that it was basically theirs.
SS and TDW aren't allies but we aren't enemies so there's no cause for conflict. Kame said that it was out win as well given we "piled more members into the server."
Now I'm not here to get ahead of myself but I applied this to a hypothetical situation in which TDW WERE our allies, would "it was out win as well" work?
I view allies as groups who lend a hand in any conflict, not necessarily one who sends us an ally request. As such, any victory goes to all and not just one group. I feared that Kame was beginning to "piggyback" on allies too much and as such would count any wins as ours, which is all good, but I didn't see or hear any mention of a combined win. This didn't sit well with me.
Including all sorts of other problems like ignoring many complaints, promoting soldiers just for donating to the group, and caring too much for SS' forum image instead of focusing on the group more, I decided to take control.
Shadow Syndicate,
This will in no way influence anything or change. Some ranks will be shifted and the HR's will be sorted through, HOWEVER, I will not demote anyone until I talk with them. I'll be having a one on one interview with every HR member and determine if you're one I want leading the lower ranks.
To the rest of the group, keep on keeping on. Trainings will continue and we'll maintain our activity. Don't let this deter you from the great progress we've been making!
Allies,
I'll be PM'ing the leader of each ally this forum and discussing further actions. Ideally, nothing will change, but that'll be up to the allied leader. As always, I'll respect their choice.
Enemies,
I know we've conflicted a lot with various groups, a large portion of this was due to Kame jumping the gun and antagonizing you. RB, HAU, and any other groups we had major conflicts with, I apologize.
RB,
I know you want a war with SS and that you've heard this excuse numerous times, but this time I will get the group ready. In about 3-5 weeks we should be good to go and the war is a high possibility (after voted on by the new HICOM that is). Rez, I'll keep you informed with this.
To the rest of you,
TL;DR, Trollers, Flamers, etc, I can't stop you from posting but know that I couldn't care less for your opinion. This is for Shadow Syndicate and anyone connected.
I thank you for taking the time to read this. If any of you have any further questions feel free to PM me. Thanks.
~SS Leader, Mydarkrai246~ |

| This doesn't explain why Kamen gave the group to you, though, which is the question most people, if not all, are asking. |

^ How in heck will that work? It won't "fix" anything if you shut it down. It'll break it.

| Good luck dark, take it back to the days when they were allied with APN, or make it even better than those days. |

Well he has a good attitude at least, but it's easier said than done.

True, everything is easier said than done, but if I let fear of failure get me down then SS is as good as dead.
It's possible and it will be a lot of hard work, but with the support of the group, patience and time, it will grow into a great group, no debate about it.
I'm sorry if I disappointed anyone, I know I have and that's ok, I didn't do this for my own selfish reasons despite what you think. I saw that SS was getting into a situation that would have been the end with no chance of recovery and something needed to get done. Kame ignored all my PM's about his choices for wars and big group decisions so I decided to take action.
It doesn't matter how I did it but I promise you that I didn't hack his account, but if you really want to know just PM me.
Truth be told, I despise needing to do this and I hate myself for it, but the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many and SS was heading down a dark path. With a leader who wouldn't listen there was no other choice.

And about the RB war thing
Rez said he's sending out a war declaration when he gets back from vacation with a "friend"
So unless they decline it or we make quick work out of them, you might have to wait a little bit.
And don't give scorch back the group, just please don't, ever.
Under any circumstances.
ANY.

"...needs of the many* outweigh the needs of the few*..."
I just re-read that and saw that I mixed it up. Many outweighs few, I'm overly tired so that got mixed, sorry about that. |

| Thanks for stealing my hard work. Again, my fault for trusting people. Expect more riots. Expect a rebellion. I'm not going quietly, and neither are those that have faith in me. Under my leadership, we gained many members, and returned many old vets. SS is going down without me, I'll make sure of it. It is what I created, and is rightfully mine. Prepare for the worst. Thanks for screwing me over. |

"gained many members, and returned many old vets."
Yeah okay, you helped out with activity. But what about all of the negative things you've done? You made rules that you couldn't follow, rejected help and advice, insulted your members, gave out free promotions, and much more. The list goes on.
gl with your fourth rebellion group. |

| Those are minor mistakes which benefitted our group. We earned our raid wins. MyDark, it doesn't matter your motives, you've stolen something from the hands of a creator. If you didn't like it, you should've formed your own group. You're foolish if you think this is maturity, or depicts you as a better person. All HRs and loyal members reading this, I ask you to leave and go on strike for the moment. Tell our allies to remove us until things get fixed. |

You threaten to choke us out like you did when Covert was created, take away our allies, our members?
If that's your plan then go ahead. However, unlike last time, SS will not view you as an enemy and we will not attack.
The choice is yours but my stance remains. If allies leave, that's their choice and I'll respect their decision. If members decide to leave or stay in SS and chew me out, so be it, I refuse to exile those who share their opinions about this, good or bad.
You see Scorch, sorry to say, but unlike you I don't turn my back on people or leave them out to dry just to make SS look better. You helped with activity but kicked out those who made SS what it is, and what it will soon be again.
There's a difference between being a creator and being a leader. You may have created the group but you've failed at leading time and time again. I'm truly sorry and, to those reading, if you view me any differently then so be it, but as I told Scorch early on when he first kept me on as a HR, I'm loyal to SS and SS only, not one man.
I stand by my members and will help them grow and rise in strength. Anyone who feels they want or need to leave because of this, that's their choice and I hold no ill feelings for that.
I'm sorry Scorch, but SS has had enough of this.
As I told you in the PM, you can stay in the group and I'd love to have you as a HR if you're willing, but I will not exile you. That's your choice and I won't try to influence you one way or the other.
