Where should I start? I think I should start with myself.
A couple days ago my CO told me something I didn't want to hear. GUNS and it's collection
of clans was gone. Now why does this matter to me? Because I was in one of them.
Before I joined [XILES]. I was in GUNS6. It was good time, but I still had an itch to scratch.
Devil offered me a spot in his clan because of the competitive itch I had and I took it. Yet
this isn't why I left but happened to the community I left. I didn't know it at the time, but we
were bleeding players and not for a good reason. What happened was persecution.
When I joined, Silver had a plan yet things changed. According to the plan it was a slow
build up to good things. I will not discuss the plan with you, but I will say the return to CW
going to T10 only changed the direction of the clan to be non-competitive. After this change
the Guns Community was ok with this. Unfortunately, some people from the outside didn't see
it that way.
A couple weeks before I left, I noticed people were "checking out". Either less were in TS or
left the clan completely. I honestly thought it was not a big deal. Meanwhile, something else
was going on. People were leaving and checking out because our players were being
harassed for being in GUNS. They were given a lot of flak because they were perceived
wholly as "Bad players". It was the whole WoT community that did this to them, regardless
of skill level.
How it started I will never know, but I do know this. We didn't deserve this. We didn't ask for
it. We didn't even participate in CW (With the exception of Last event for reasons unknown
to me) to even have merit such. I was hoping to go back one day after scratching the itch,
but I guess I can't. The TS is gone and all the clans have been liquidated. This isn't
something that should have happened.
If your a former Guns Member, feel free to leave your respects here. I sincerely hope that
Silver and any other former guns finds good homes. As for the rest of you involved in it's
demise....
YOU'RE ALL [edited]AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED!
