You want an opinion off of a former FM member? I think I'm "qualified" to give you that, I was the leader after all.
Long story short, we merged with Gians as we already had an alliance with them and thought we'd be able to work as a team, more efficiently, if we were all in the same tribe. Everything was going well.
The merge into =FATE= came suddenly, but it was also welcome. The members who joined =FATE= were mostly those who had been in Gians for a while. But myself, the baron of FM and a couple of other members were allowed to join too, to show that we were still wanted on board. The others stayed in Gians. This was to help both tribes ( =FATE= and Gians ) to co-operate.
As I said the merge came suddenly, and I won't lie. It threw a lot of people off in Gians. But those most loyal stayed and are continuing to fight. It also didn't help that Isle of Man was creating chaos, calling Peaces a bad leader and saying that everyone in Gians had been abandoned.
My opinion? Peaces isn't a bad leader. The merge was sudden ( as I have said many times ), but I believe he did what he thought was right. Maybe a few members could have stayed in Gians. But it's irrelevant now. I, for the most part, am happy with the merge, and I'm sure there will be more Gians members joining us in the near future.
