-- Part 1, My motives
First off I want to make something completely clear,
I never intended to lead TGI into a golden age, or a prime era to rekindle what we had when brickster owned the group. This is due to the fact that NOBODY can live up to what brickster offered with the group, and NOBODY can become a carbon copy of brickster or live up to what TGI "was," so I mainly focused on rebranding, and turning TGI into something new and tasty (pun) much like CT did with RAT after he got it, it was the only way.
Furthermore, I did not intend to lead TGI into a golden age because I knew in less than a year I would be off to college, and if I wanted to forsee any kind of improvement in the group I would have to hold necessary activity that would not be compatible with my new life, it wasn't even compatible with my old life during the end of my era, at that point I had been holding a 3.8 GPA, while being my class president, applying and getting into colleges, as well as applying for and maintaining all of my scholarships and loans.
I INTENDED to prep TGI for future success, and I INTENDED to give it all of the tools to do so, for the most part I believe I was successful in that respect, I trained good officers, got new things done, and included a few wars on the way. Was everything a resounding success? No, but we were stable for one thing, and many of us looking back had good fun.
HOWEVER, if people continue to want to blame me for leaving the group even after I knew it wouldn't have survived with me in the leadership seat that is fine, I will accept full responsibility for that - just know that there was no way I was going to hand the group off right as school season starts and inactivity kicks in, into a new leader with no experience in managing TGI during the HARDEST times of the year to keep up activity and get things done. The summer months were prime time for a leader to gain preliminary experience and get the footing done, and I chose tainted because he was the SAFE position for me.
I say SAFE, because I knew that if anything happened and I needed to take it back, Tainted would NOT have argued, caused a scene or a fracture in the group, nor would all of his high ranks taken off and rebelled against me and my decision. This is contrary to our current situation.
-- Part 2, Dystra's situation
I intended to set TGI up for success and for the most part both leaders, Tainted and Dystra started strong. Tainted got nearly a full officer corps back off the start, and so did Dystra. Both people got many veterans back, many friends, and this boosted activity. When I got TGI more officers LEFT than returned, but oh well we worked through it and during the early months before I got swamped down with real life we gained astounding activity. I'm not going to say I did more with less, but I did - I like you both, but come on, when the going gets tough the tough get going.
Furthermore, I have had a bittersweet feeling about Dystra. I am glad that he has taken some inspiration from me via some of the initiatives he has put forth in the group.
Things like> -Crusades, hey I invented those -Firebase Novaan, hey oloff rebuilt that for me and I had it (mostly) scripted, until people in TGI told me they didnt like it so they put it down -The Uniforms, hey I bought those in rebranding stages but nobody liked them so tainted reverted back to the old uniforms. -The rec center, hey I remember when we commissioned that -The officer recruiting, hey I remember that competitive system I came up with
The point of that is -- Hey, if you want to do the same exact stuff I did and take credit for it when it works, sure go ahead I don't care, BUT; you are not going to fool me with the false sense of progress by lacking NEW ideas, and NEW innovations to see ACTUAL progress that will ACTUALLY propel the group further.
We already did all of that BEFORE, repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results in the definition of insanity.
I like you Dystra, well liked you, before your example has been set by the way your officers and those under you are behaving. They are representative of you and YOUR leadership and you should be taking responsibility for the circumstances that you saw coming.
-- Part 3, My Conclusion
I'd like to see two of three things happen.
I'd like to see some form of credit for doing the things that I saw necessary to propel the group into the future when instead of holding on in my dire circumstances that could have eventually killed us. Demonize me if you will, I don't care, but this is the one time that I'm going to be pompous and take credit for providing you example to succeed in your two weeks. So demonize me if you want to, I know the things that I did propelled your success
And lastly, I'd like to see the group either shut down to prevent the denigration of it's reputation any further, or I'd like to see it utilize some form of the example I set to carry out my goal of allowing it to live longer under a leader that can sustain it for at least THREE YEARS, that is how long it takes to make a clan not good, not GREAT, but SUPERIOR.
And that's all I have to say in my defense, and from my point of view. If you wish to blame me for TGI's failure I will accept full responsibility for the actions so nobody else has to because that's what leaders do.

| If officers were leaving TGI then there's obviously something there that you didn't fix. |

"and many of us looking back had good fun."
That includes any wars that we fought, I had a good time providing events to my men, couldn't care bout this forums willingness to do anything and everything to win a conflict on a virtual game. I'm past that and above that attitude at this point.
I carry the same attitudes with Haven, we do nothing but have fun here so bring that noise elsewhere. |
