The Fatefull Plain
The wind whipped up the sand about the lands of Spain;
And the Stormians had come to save the land, or so it is they claim;
For there they toiled under the sun upon that fatefull plain;
The footmen stood at guard alas for the Chickens had gone on before;
Pikes upright and polished bright, disciplined from the wars of Yore;
They stood in watch for any sign the comming of the Glory of War;
Tension eased and they looked pleased as daylight came and went;
And darkness fell,released it's spell once all the light was spent;
Yet, they stood fast, secure at last, their quest would not relent;
From out of the night there came a sound to make the very ground tremble with fear;
And from whence it came soon was abundantly clear;
The Riders swept from out the town intent to show them to their funeral bier;
Swords were drawn and strides were long when the two forces clashed;
And all too soon all hope to survive this night was dashed;
Yet fight with all their might did they, lest their honor be bashed;
And blood ran free, both horse and man, for flesh is easily torn;
And rays of light overcame the night upon the breaking morn';
They revealed naught but a dreadfull sight, for few were left to mourn;
The deep red blood of many lost brave men once slain;
Will mark this spot, forever it's told, a great and mighty stain;
In rememb'rance to mark this place as the dreaded fatefull plain;
Ok I suck at naming. Call it something better...

Oh, GhengisFarb's anti-social behavior was certainly one of my reasons for leaving, though it was not 'make or break'. Whether the team functions or not is what really mattered to me.

I just wish there were enough active participants in my team to enjoy your little poem.
Recently, I've become inactive as well. My spare time has become so rare that I could only dedicate it to things that I'm passionate about, and I've been constantly losing interest in GS ever since the war started.
Since Nathan left, the level of organization has been gradually dropping. It has off-peaked during the current war, where almost every bad decision that was made regarding troop maneuvers was actually a product of lack of organization - great ideas that could not be discussed due to sluggish teamwork, misinterpretations of orders and such.
I couldn't bear wasting my rare spare time on a team that does not function, so I dropped my participation level to zero. And that's my sad, sorry tale.  |
Man, Shiber. This sucks. And I mean that in a compassionate way. I guess we had some sense of the discord, but this paints it fairly clearly.
I'm glad to say Vox is still fairly active - albeit it is builder active - and a long-time between turns.
I for one am sorry that it has come to this for GS. If there is anything that I have done, or not done, which has contributed to the state of affairs, I apologize. If there is anything I/we can do to help - let me/us know.
This game is a long way from being over. And besides - aren't you still in the lead? I'll tell you what - why don't Vox and GS trade places - lock, stock and barrell.
