A wise man once said...."Betrayal is the only truth that sticks"
Today I find myself pondering, contemplating -- and only finding one conclusion
that wise man was right.
Perhaps I should give a small background before I begin.
The politics of soulwars, as many will vouch for me -- are quite complex.
I will give a breif overview.
Soulwars is a game of clans. Clans work together and decide which color is going to win.
A couple years ago. In 2009, all of the most powerful clans throughout the sw worlds created an alliance. This alliance was known as the "World alliance".
In october of 09 I was just so lucky to stumble upon the "Obby" Clans, which just so happened to be one of the main world alliance clans. I didn't know this at the time though -- what drew me to the Obbys was the fact that everyone in there were friends. Just playing sw and having a good time.
The Obbys, alongside DS (Demon slayers) -- controlled world 44. We were great allies -- unstoppable, uncrashable, unbeatable.
I have been in that clan for nearly 16 months now. These are some of the greatest people I have met online. Although I havent played Soulwars for zeal in 6-8 months -- I have remained with this clan, putting all I could possibly put into it.

A ghost crept over the worldalliance. Rejects, banned members -- traitors, all alike have conferred in one single motive: to destroy the worldalliance.
They started the clan known as "Sw Ancients". Knowing that the clan with the most ancient mages controls the game, this name was quite intimidating -- but their size was quite the opposite. We passed them off as another small clan that would come and pass in a couple weeks.
They started with world 2. The lowliest of sw worlds -- it proved to be everything but a challenge. After weeks of "Making the calls" on world 2, they decided to hit the WA where it hurt. The most unstable of all main SoulWars worlds -- World 145.
They allied with an old friend of the WA, an old ally -- Zealmania, and hit 145 hard.
"Sw zombies", our allies, were taking heavy losses -- and as the largest WA clan, the Obbys sent help. We warred for two weeks, wasting millions of gp in ice barrages -- but in the end, defeat was inevitable.
Sw ancients and zealmania controlled w145 and Sw Zombies were dead. A great loss of friends as well as allies to the WA.
After countless "Crashes", so theyre called -- on our great allies in 143 (XxdeathX, or "Soul Reapers), Swa decided to deliver a final blow to our control on world 143 and furthermore to our friends the soul reapers.

The peculiar thing was this: we found our old friends, the ones at which we tried our best to defend, the ones with whom we fought alongside and took countless losses with, aiding Sw Ancients.
A bit Ironic, They were aiding the people who destroyed them to destroy the very people who aspired to stop the destruction.
They spout off their justifications, full of fallacies and hate -- "The worldalliance didnt help us", etc. These justifications are irrelevant to one complete truth. Betrayal is the truth that sticks.
We fought hard against Sw ancients and all of our old allies -- and eventually they left.
Months later, a few weeks ago in fact, they tried again. All of the worldalliance was on world 143, The Obbys, the Reapers, the Demonslayers all alike fought against this ghost, these hate-mongerers bent on destruction of our clans. But in the end, our out-dated tactics and lack of organization killed us and Sw ancients prevailed. Our good friends and one of the last of the worldalliance clans died.
It was now down to two WA clans, The Obbys and Demonslayers. The weak members of our clans -- the turncoats sided with swa. We lost many good ranks.
After a week or so of failed crashes on w44, something suprising happened. Something infuriating, something.....nerve-wracking. Demonslayers merged with an Sw Ancients clan. Turncoats, traitors, weaklings -- animal farm sheep. They have a clan but lost their honor.
The Obby clans. The last of a once powerful alliance. The voice of logic and reason in an otherwise reasonless void, the clan that -- in a world of distrust, unloyalty and betrayal stood true against who they knew were the enemy. Us and Soul Reapers were the only clans to not turn to treachory and worse.

As I enter soulwars I am barraged with hate-spam. All I see is "Death to OA!" "The obbys will die!" "OA are leeches". This makes me feel sick -- but at the same time, I know we are only getting this because we did not turn on ourselves.
So I will leave you with this; who is more weak -- a clan that never betrayed it's friends -- or a clan built on betrayal and hate. Proditores.
I think the answer is pretty clear.
Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.

RIP:
Sw Zombies
Zealmania
Demonslay_cc
These clans are dead.
Dead in that when faced with challenge,
or when tempted by the dark hand of betrayal --
their leaders accepted the cruel truth that they would hurt friends and allies.
Furthermore, they did not only accept it -- they deny and justify it with their false reasons. They convince their rank with these reasons.
They're dead in that I have old friends targetting me and spamming me with "The obbys will die".

I'd Rather be Leonidus and his 300 men than Xerxes and his 3 million.

"One should rather die than be betrayed. There is no deceit in death. It delivers precisely what it has promised. Betrayal, though ... betrayal is the willful slaughter of hope."

If this gets locked I'll be torn.
I'm apart of the Obby clans myself, though as of late I've been taking a break because of all the drama.
On a game.
It's been making my head split. The clan I belong to, the one that stands true, is at its weakest point...
I've been asked to come help war, and I just can't...
Some long term friends of mine have turned enemies as they go from praising our clan to sudden hatred, for the most ridiculous reasons... And they don't just flame the clan. They flame the people. I get nasty messages like "oh, since I've joined SWA I've heard that so many people hate you" etc...
It's just not nice.
Soul Wars used to be fun, for me, and now it feels like a chore, like a job.
The sad thing is, I know a few specific people that would laugh if they read this. :|
Either way, I'm hoping this doesn't get locked, or my post doesn't get removed, because this is truly how I feel. If I should change it up to be less offensive for any particular reason feel free to tell me to do so.
Thank you for posting this, King.

Obbys dont need to call 6 ccs in to win like others do
Obbys dont need to send spammers in left and right into other ccs to recruit like others do
Obbys dont need to send members to become members in another clan in the hopes of mass kicking or spying like others do
Obbys dont die twice and join the clan that killed them like others do
Obbys dont betray like others do
Obbys dont quit on their allies and send their ranks to the enemy because they cant fight the good fight, like others do.
Obbys dont need to hack the accounts of enemy clan members, or try and get them muted and banned for no reason, like others do.
Obbys don't quit period.
I'm very proud of the clan members that have stuck by us while all that has happened over the last 8 months, because a bunch of mean-spirited people have to make the game not fun for everyone else. We can't help being better than you, as a clan, or as people.
Every time we could have destroyed a clan, we didnt, cause it was a game. Our enemies think its fun to destroy what others have worked hard to build, or throw away what they accomplish without a second thought.
We are the only real SW clan left in RS with pride and honor, not a bunch of haters and malcontents, or quitters, or liars. I am proud to be an Obby member,and not having resort to low-life tricks and stretegy to win a game. Be proud Obbys.
