KOV's war against Mafia City. We were getting back on terms with KOV at that point, and I hate Mafia City more than any other single clan. So we allied and joined KOV in their war. The love hate mail I got from Krisi that night was a bit beyond reproach. One of us broke the alliance, and that was that. So Zirak was now firmly on the other side of the field from us. EOF took us a lot longer. As we are aware Ryan brought the Kingdom of Saradomin onto World 83, and that has ruined the world. They got to play god, and nobody wanted to go against a warring clan on a POC world. That defied every principle we had as a POC world. And EOF violated those. So that's where it began. And I still wanted to war ZK and MC, and you were going to war ZK and MC, and I told Ryan it was urgent he made a decision on whos side in this cold war he was going to take. And he stayed neutral. And that stopped anyone from making a move. EOF was still influential and an important name, even if it was inconsequential militarily. So they couldn't remain neutral. And that split us. We were never really against EOF, even when they graced their enemies list with our great name. But we were against ZK, and we were for KOV from the second we allied.

Our relations were strained during the ROZ war, which he didn't necessarily support but got caught up in. We actually broke the alliance with EOF after I resigned the throne. Not long before I resigned EOF sent us a diplomat that tried to recruit a few people from our chat, so I expelled him. Ryan defended him, and we got into a pitched debate, and I told him to save his breathe, and that almost ended it there. After I resigned, we began getting emails and screenshots detailing Ryan berating, and overall mistreating his members, and especially his high ranks. This came from a Prince candidate at the time named Tom. He sent us a lot of stuff, and from our perspective it looked pretty bad, and pretty uncalled for. Now I was a hotheaded guy, and so is Ryan, but it was bad, and we called him on it. And by we I mean Flame and Exar. But he rebuffed them. And that made them feel bad about it. And we felt like we were being pushed out. This all came to a head when I made a joke about MC being a dead clan and that led to us getting in another huge fight. From there, we felt he loved MC - not his ally and a dead clan regardless of his arguments - a whole lot better than one of his most staunch supports. You can attest to our resolute stand-by-eof attitude that we had. But that was too much. So we split with em. I don't regret splitting, I regret that we didn't do it sooner, and then began another world war. Cause the split itself didn't do anything but rid us of an issue. We should've taken advantage, and moved on another clan while we had the chance.

It stemmed from the war with ROZ. Exar was against the war, and I was either oblivious to it, or it just wasn't clear that he was as against it as he actually was. And it was an entirely frustrating experience. I wanted more drama in the place, and a cold war just wasn't cutting it. When I saw a chance for some good roleplay fun, I jumped on it, and got involved in what was becoming the Zarosian Civil War. What I didn't understand was that Burgoyne was a great deal more dedicated to roleplay than I was. Or honestly, he is an individual with some serious deep down problems. Whatever the case, the flame war that followed was annoying. All I wanted was a good war. And we actually got a date set. Millions of GP, a lot of time, and a whole lot of training went into this. And the time for the war was like 10 PM est. Sorry GMTers. So we were being driven insane by it, and it was straining our relationship. When Burgoyne forfeited by not showing, it drove us even more insane. So we obviously declared victory, and went home. That weekend I insisted upon having a celebratory gladiator fight in our clan's battlefield. Which I had to leave early for, and became a failure because the people left in charge weren't sure how to run it. So we tried again next week, and it was an even bigger failure. Exar described it as my roman ****. Which was accurate. I was trying to vent my frustration, and I executed poorly. So he resigned. And in a fit of childishness I resigned to try and get him back. For a few days we were irreconcilable. Finally Flamewhip got us both back in the clan, where I took a back seat, and Exar obviously rose to become one of the greater leaders in World 83 history. I regret it because obviously I still want to be Emperor of EOS. But I don't, because it was my time to be done, and Exar has taken the Empire places I never could of.

No I don't. I think that I had very competent generals who knew how the game was played, and could properly teach that to people under them. I also believe that the people who ran events also knew what people liked, and knew how to please them. So as someone who didn't really love the game, no I don't think it held the Empire back. We obviously did extremely well. There were times when it was hard to log in, sure. I've made it no secret I only play for the clans, and that atmosphere. But I still logged in. I still got on here and did my job. I believe that I did my job to the absolute best of my abilities, and I believe that if I had been more dedicated to the game itself then I would of been less dedicated to ensuring the clan had a place in this world, and that its place was as a superpower. We attained that goal, and held it for as long as I was on the throne. You've got my whole story more or less laid out in front of you, and I firmly believe that not once did my career hit bumps because of my lack of interest in playing the game. Could I have been a better leader if I had become a player as well as a clanner? Maybe. I don't think that would of changed much. And I don't think that EOS was a worse clan because of that.

My answer here is going to echo Maddi's. World 83 needs a facelift. First things first I'm the realest the Cold War needs to either become a shooting war or it needs to end. I'd say every clan has to give one city sized territory to an offworld POC. And every leader that's been leading for much more then a year needs to be axed. I remember when SHE, and EOF, and TGS, and KOV, and KOA, and MC, and TUIE and a half dozen other clans were mixed up in this place. It was fun. Even when the Gu'Tanoth Empire was a thing, there were good times to be had for all of us. More clans need to be here, and the leaders that have been squatting on their clans for all eternity needs to call it quits. Look what it did to EOS. I'd been there for almost three years before I left, and now EOS is great. So imagine the people that have been there since founding their clan, or since 2009. So with smaller, more secure boundaries, new clans, new leaders, and everyone ready to war or ally new people, I think that World 83 would become one of the greatest places to be once again.
