This man just used my words, without permission, out of context and from an irrelevant bickering of 2019 in a SS13 server spawned from my -personal opinion and insight- over the future of the conflict. At that time. All of that as an 'evidence' and 'fact' to say it's the community's fault, or Fern's own fault or that Blades corrup, or that there are cliques.

Boy, I'd hire you for Wall Street Journal immediately for that alone. Done me a proud.

Yes, back when things were steamy and not-so-resolute with the Black Falcon since they were, back then, trying to matter a little more beyond Cellsvich's destruction and couldn't accomodate the amount of edgelords who wanted to have a beef with them to grind their e-PPs for the sake of mooching from their storyline since SL2 has ever been a dry desert in terms of villains. Hell. That quote alone spawned from me talking to Lonestar about how their character will not have room for relevancy given the ones already on the Falcons' tails. And mind you, Fern never had anything planned in regards to then until a few days before his public post. I was there asking him about it to confirm my fears. But that's all what they were. Fears.

Maybe the reason so many cliques exist is because a lot of the community is a bunch of unsavory people for no ACTUAL REASON (like, how hard it is to be decent and kind?), and normal, average people get scared away into grouping with who they think it will not be a waste of their time investment? Or rather. Would ANYONE prefer to be with people they like, or people they're forced to hang around by courtesy? That's how ""cliques"" work in SL2. There's just an abundant lack of love for each other. FOR VERY SOLID REASONS, MIND YOU. Everyone with atleast one problem or grudge, to boot.

The only remedy I can see here is for people who are grudging at to chill out and the ones being grudged at to make an extra effort to be more likeable. Act more like a community. Let past problems stay in the past and look ahead more. Leave these grudges for old housewives who can't get over 'that bitch karen' and go slash some Jammers together.

It's only a game, why we heff to be mad? (only mad when my damn discord shit gets posted without any talk beforehand to the world, but that's not gonna be my loss here, only the funny clown who thought this was a respectable idea, I despise you so much that I'm going to form a clique around this fact now brb)
