I first approach Rc to discuss the STL war and to check up how much our diplomats had contact with TR, this was near the start of the war. from this we spoke about a few things, mainly about RL compared to TW. few weeks later got discussing Olo and nelly, admittedly i wanted Olo to join, but i did not know at the time why he got kicked and that TR would moan so much.
Then started talking about joining what rules i would have to follow position in the tribe etc... Then one night on msn speaking to LL Rc etc agreed to move. At the time i honestly thought i was the only one moving and was preparing for the back lash from everyone in swarm, including casper, greg and wolfie.
the mike pointed out that casper would be moving with me, then i logged in and players had started to move.
the reasons why i left were;
1. participation levels in the STL war. (if we had taken the villa's wolfie had agreed it would have cut TR, splitting k61 from the k42 base) this would have allowed us not to be boxed in and still have a part in the alliance, the rate we wre going would have left us completly box in with 2 options, war with knk or TR, if we went to war with knk we would have been vunerable to attacks from TR.
2. The constant moaning about TR in the forums, they were our only real ally's, there were others but they could not really do anything because of size or position. we never really gave the alliance a chance because we were to scared incase the double crossed us, well so what if they did at least we would have given it a try.
3. thought the grass would be greener....
4. There were about 9 council members, 5 in swarm 4 in swarm., then in the space of a week 1 in swarm 4 in swarm., tried to move the tribe into one tribe, which was not a ploy to get rid of Peter like Omega has been spouting.... I even forwarded Peter the discusions myself and casper had about moving into one tribe, pete claimed that he had only missed one day of TW in this world and that was the same day we decided to move into one tribe.
5. thought that swarm was going no where especially after you and ade left,
I did had over the accounts i was sitting rather than take them to TR, one was Ade's after you gave it me. could have moved him to TR aswell.
