Anyway, that was exactly the problem and the reason we grew so far apart with Komo in the end. b2b never asked for a leader, specifically asked not to have anyone bringing attention to us here on TUS all the damn time, abhorred the idea of one single member presenting their views as the views of the entire community, and he insisted on doing it anyway. That he was, as you say, a major presence, is the main reason so many of us decided that it would be healthier for everyone involved (b2b, Komo, BnG) if we parted ways until normality was restored. Something that looks less likely with every further outburst like this latest one.
b2b never asked for a leader? Lies, I was continously asked by various members of b2b to take control and do stuff, I never once see anyone else volunteer to do anything(by this I mean come up with ideas, dead offered to host tournaments, but didn't, other people helped out, but only because I asked or came up with ideas), almost everything that happened was my idea...(regarding community involved stuff and leagues etc)
Furthermore to the point, how the hell can you "ask for a leader" when there already was a leader and a co-leader, sure, wormf00d couldn't be bothered with it, but I always did act like a leader and really done mostly everything, anyone who can't or couldn't see that clearly wasn't paying enough attention to the WA community and League events as a whole.
It sickens me to the stomach some of you who are saying this clearly knew I was the leader some years back and had no problem admitting it.
And the last 75% of your post that I quoted just helps the statement I made that all of you should have left b2b and made your own community if that's how you feel, in my opinion, b2b wasn't "our community" it was WA and BnG's community, I was just the guy who made it worth while.
I left b2b and even if the opportunity came along to take b2b back, I don't know if I could, things have changed, my life is different now, WA's interests have changed.
If it was up to me, i'd rather everyone left b2b, made a new community and let the old honorable b2b be remembered as a whole, I don't have the time available to spend doing what I used to do, and it's obvious NONE of the remaining b2b members are interested.
Edit: I remember green telling me something like "we can't be assed with leagues and competitiveness n stuff, you need to stop trying to tell us to get involved so much" and if I had known that's how alot of b2b members really felt, seeing THEM say it for themselves instead of others claiming it's how "most of b2b feels" I honestly would have asked them all to leave, if not, kick them from b2b and told them to make their own community that they as passionate about as I was about b2b.
The way I see it:
I care about b2b from the bottom of my heart, I respected and liked each and every individual member of b2b, I obviously couldn't have done so much without them, I worked hard on building b2b, so when they started acting as if b2b was everyones when I put in the most effort and work, it pissed me off, we don't have to be in the same community to stay friends, so I offered them to leave and make their own community, I stressed the fact it should be THEM who leaves and not me, and I still stick by this, we can all be friends, but I believe b2b belongs in the hands of those who actually want to try with great effort to make BnG a better, more popular and more friendly scheme, isn't that the image I always gave? They then tried to accuse me of not caring enough about the friendships of my fellow members, accused me of holding the name "b2b" to more importance than our friendship, this is not true, I am man enough to stay friends AND part ways, it seems the rest of you are the ones who cared too much about the status of b2b to leave and do your own thing, insisting b2b was never mine in the 1st place.
But if it had ever came down to "who deserves b2b" I honestly feel I did more than anyone.(speaking about what the name stands for, not the friendship)
All I ever wanted was for you guys to realise that, give me credit for all the good times I created, all the effort I put in.
It honestly feels like "Oh goody, the stubborn bastard is gone, no one ever cared about him anyway".
