and this is why I find the poor attitudes toward the faction, it's leadership and those who have made the commitment to participate disturbing. It is a poor example for any KGBer to set, and one I recall me and Tasorin being called on...but it's okay when the other kids do it, because they are somehow cooler then we were.

Nah what is going on here is my "feelings" aren't hurt at all, I as well as others have made the commitment to play, and do whatever it takes to win, others are still kicking around the idea and are looking to tear down any confidence or aspirations we have, 99% of winning is attitude people, the rest is skill. Games like life is always going to be unpredictable, thus we can only hope for the best and plan for the worst. The truth will be known eventually and if the Faction falls dead on it's face then I am more than ready to accept the blame, it can be no other, however it's bad enough talking as such without it needing to be so.
