I’m a Piken Square fighter and I’m proud of my server. My pride persists despite the best efforts of the disgruntled few, whose posts in this topic demonstrate their subscription to the principle of “never let the facts get in the way of your conclusion.”
Their conclusion: Piken Square is a shameful, degenerate pack of low-lifers because they entered an alliance with Augery Rock to defeat Gandara.
Against this, two facts:
1. Three commanders — not Piken Square the Server.
2. Duration < 12 hours.
Concerning Point #1 … PS has an active website where we organize ourselves. Despite this, the commanders who made this “alliance” did so of their own free will and without consulting the server at large. When the issue came to light, I promise you: the outcry you’ve engaged in on this forum is a pale shadow of the outcry that occurred on our forum. Nothing you’ve said here is more effective than what we said amongst ourselves.
Concerning Point #2 … Not only was it less than half a day, but respected by only a minority on either side. Personally, I played during this mystical, 12-hour period without even knowing about some alleged “alliance” (only found out about it post-hoc) and I promise you: there were plenty of dead PS and AR bodies littering the battlefields upon which I fought.
When faced with facts that challenge your conclusion, you have a choice:
1. Graciously adjust your conclusion to fit the facts.
-or-
2. Ignore the facts, continue to stand on your self-proclaimed moral high ground, keep up your inflammatory rhetoric, wave the bloody shirt and milk that situation for every gram of sympathy you can until the truth finally comes out and silences you.
And the truth will come out. It always does, no matter how many exaggerations and falsehoods we must endure in the short term.
And the truth is, the short-lived actions of a few on Piken Square tarnished our image. We accept that. It happens. (It will happen to you, I promise). We regret it. We resolve that it will never happen again. We know that everyone makes mistakes, including us. We know the value of those commanders who made this ill-advised decision. We have fought with them on the field of battle, we have discussed this sad affair with them internally and we remain convinced of their worth. We affirm that the only unpardonable sin is to make the same mistake twice.
Does Gandara wish me to judge their entire server by the few hackers, exploiters and cheaters I’ve seen, who brazenly wear the Gandara tag on what should be a field of honor?
Then I challenge Gandara to rise above the rhetoric and judge Piken Square by the whole and not by the few.
For I tell you this from the heart: Gandara is the worthiest foe Piken Square has yet faced. You are unrelenting on the attack … tenacious and uncompromising in defense … you counterattack in force at the very moment when you looked beaten and routed … you bring a fiery spirit to the battlefield, the like of which I’ve not seen in our previous matchups. When I ram the finisher into a downed Gandaran, I know that he gave his all and I’m acutely aware of the absolute priviledge I had in facing him … and when he rams the finisher into me, I take comfort in knowing that I died at the hands of one worthy.
See you on the battlefield, Gandara.

I mean they chose to ignore you capping their homeland for hours too instead focus us… then in eb they again chose to ignore you and focus Piken… as its part and parcel of W3 with or without alliance
