Non-XL, this doesn't concern you so don't barge in :).
As most of you know already, Cookies has been talking about bringing CI back even against my will. Cookies is probably going to try to make it look as if CI is the victim and all who are/were in it and that we've forgotten all their "deeds" so I might as well explain a bit I've encounter with CI the whole time it's been in XL. I'm not referring to anyone in particular, just the group as a whole and the actions it's done. None of these is meant to be PAing.
First off, the name... Not a good stand alone excuse for not having Cerberus Initiative but it's a good start off point. The name didn't really bother me at first, as I thought it was in reference to something else. When I learned that it was from Mass Effect, I truly was disappointed at the name. I have stuck with as much historical accuracy in XL as much as possible, from the ranks, to the other divisions, First Cohort and Frumentarii. I painstakingly researched these and their time frames so it'd be a realistic representation of what an actual legion could look like. I had no part in choosing the name because Cookies made it without consulting any HR or me. He wasn't even a high rank.
It was eventually officialized (I still thought the name was a different reference) mainly due to many HRs wanting it to be officialized since at that time, First Cohort was pretty inactive and Frumentarii wasn't doing anything noticeable. CI had good results in that people were being more active had there was something new to do. That is fine except CI started usurping Frumentarii's roles and later First Cohort's. They were SPECIFICALLY TOLD that they were not to be the elite division in XL but they even wrote in their description that they were the most prestigious division in XL. I told both people who were ran it around that time, Ziggy and Phantom, to remove that, yet both of them denied.
Another thing I told CI to stop doing was their jargon. They frequently called normal XL reddies and Frumentarii blueys. This was meant to be somewhat demeaning as Ziggy told me a while back. I don't get why this kind of attitude was promoted in CI.
Afterwards, what started to really tick me off was that CI started finding glory in spots where there shouldn't have been. One time that really stuck out to me was when 8 XL were defending MS. 3 of them were CI but came after the barbarians had taken the main flag. They retook the flag fairly quickly but immediately claimed CI was the reason why they won the server. Without them the server probably would have been lost, but to attribute them retaking the flag to CI really takes away from what the normal legionaries had fought for. Things like this happened frequently with CI, whether they were raids, defends, or even at trainings. They always ranted on how great it was and all their "deeds" they had done. They did do some good things, I'm not taking away from what they did do, but a large portion of their "fame" was just bloated.
CI's main role when it was officialized, and still states now, that they are agents. Just in ROBLOX, agents are pretty useless. Even gathering reports about an enemy base is kind of useless, especially considering only ONE of those reports ever went public for XL to see.
CI would probably say PG are a bunch of cocky (insert something else) soldiers. The only time that PG has had cockiness in it was when Willkid SCed and gave himself extra HP and said PG was the best. I will not tolerate that and I did not in that situation. I quickly exiled him from PG and he is still not back in it and I doubt he still would be even if he continued being active. PG has never stolen credit from those that also earned it. We like to include other XL members in our trainings ( Most PG trainings are for everyone to participate in). We've only chosen members that have really become known in XL whereas I can't say the same for CI.
Now onto the situation at hand. As you know, Cookies is trying to bring back CI for reasons that are still vague to me. This is not acceptable to keep the leader in the dark about something. Cookies has been completely disrespectful to me and has completely ignored my authority. In fact just on the wall today, he said, "Lolno BP" in response to me saying to leave CI alone. This kind of behavior will NOT be tolerated in the Legion. If people do what they want, when they want, against the guiding body of HRs, a group cannot run properly. If people decide they can do what they want, a group can not run... The whole time CI has been around, they've constantly bent the rules and would not allow to be controlled, at least by me. It's exhibited qualities that are just not for what XL stands for. Also I was quite angry at some "returning" XL just to participate in this CI business.
In response to Cookie's actions, now and previous, I am exiling him from XL and all people that remain in CI. This probably comes off pretty harsh, especially for other CI members, but I will not tolerate these behaviors and qualities as mentioned before. Choose where your loyalties really lie, X~Legion, a group that has had problems but continues to push on and reform, or CI that has proven that they will not listen to me or any authority, a now rouge group that has NO part in XL.

| As said before, both in public and privately to you BP, I have been, I am, and I always will be loyal only to the X~Legion, no matter who joins a rivaling group, whether its the greatest figure on ROBLOX or thirty thousand people. I will stand by X~Legion until it breaks down, and I really hope it doesn't. |

Beautiful; just absolutely, positively, beautiful! I love every word of it.
And how does that make you feel, Imperator Turkey Bacon?
Enough to know, that you now have what you've wanted to say out into the public?

| I want Frumentarii back, PG members can't be watching all the time so get a less select group specifically for MP duty. |

I miss the blue Frumentarii uniform. Though I am fine with not having it.
I miss the golden First Cohort cape. Though I am fine with not having it.
I do not miss the orange and white Cerberus uniform. I am definitely fine with not having it.
I want the Praetorian cape. Though I am fine with not having it.
Morale of the kind-of-a-story story : I like capes. But they are not enough to impress me. |

| True, my biggest reason for not having FR is that I don't want a "substitute" group. I hope you know what I mean by that. PG lets people work hard and having FR would decrease that strive to work hard for PG. I'm always keeping an eye on people that should join PG, in fact I have a few that I'm soon ready to invite. |

| That last paragraph... It sounded just too epic. Still, I think that it is right to do this. Why be in a group when you can't stick with its rules? |
