that's a hard decision to make, i don't envy that decision but i admire his determination in making such a decision.
It was not really a hard decision more of a big hissy fit,
to be honest as much as I am not keen on 90% of CrazyHags post, she is correct I jumped from a sinking ship or at least a ship I could take no further,
And as Quantam says constantly getting stupid problems thrown at me, it drives you insane to a point you dread logging in
players going inactive for 7 days,(going red) so I list them as inactive to get there cities claimed, only for them to come back active and moan like hell at me,
this happening on numerous occasions,
players attacking allies and pact members,
I put a survey up about the future of the 13th, even sent out a MM prior to posting it asking people to vote or post if they had other ideas, in just under 40 Hours there was 27 votes,
posted an inactive player with juicy cities and the cities would be claimed in 12 hours?
the final straw was for an operation I put forward (ok never really left much time) but had nobody claim a city in 24 hours, then for some fool to actually say that the reason for him being attacked was due to the bad management of the operation????
I still am having trouble working this out.
I would like to add, there are a lot of players still in The 13th that are top notch chaps/chappesses, but feel that making a decision was becoming to difficult, that is probably down to me not being the most forceful leader, saying what is happening,
but
with 2 other founders that are in VM not sure it would have been fair to do what I think would be best, (booting lots of players) as from the start the other 2 believed it better to keep them.
Finally
There has been a lot getting me down with grepolis recently, I got attacked in Sestos by the number 1 player in that server (by a long way) and I honestly cannot believe how bad it was, swords, archers, Birmes (ok it is a conquest world, so some defence can be sent with a colony ship) the nearest clearing attacks was 5mins prior to CS Defence landing 4 mins after the CS.
So it was not difficult to break it.
point being, that now with the amount of gold being spent by some players it is pointless even if you are poor at the game with the help of gold you can be number 1
Sorry for the long moan/rant
