TO ALL S13 MEMBERS:
Wow, been gone a month and it seems I have missed a lot. It's unfortunate for all of us that there seems to have been no resolution to what was once a minor conflict of interest within our clan. I've been busy with work so entertainment time was at an all time low (Christmas season and all) It saddens me that our fun clan has lost some good members, but I hope that doesn't mean we have lost good friends. As I was not here during the major portion of the "Split" I still remain neutral to either side. In a larger scale both parties are to blame.

1. Mikebravo, should have been a little clearer with the structuring of the clan, In all honesty yes we should have a leader but at the same time having independent squad leaders would have allowed for more freedom and an equal footing for all parties involved while maintaining a structure to possible new recruits.

2. Ritterkreuz, a lot of time and hard thought is obvious from many of the suggestions you brought up. However, and I can only stipulate as to whether or not this next comment is valid. You really should have discussed this with everyone rather than just a few people. In my opinion this is what probably lead Mike ti believe you were going around him rather than working with the clan as a whole.

Again this is mere stipulation on my as an observer of comments and stories from either side.

However what I do not appreciate or endorse in anyway is the actions that followed after.

To ALL parties involved I find that the vicious slander against each other is distasteful, and completely uncalled for.

To Mike, I expect someone as clan leader to compose themselves to such a manner as deemed worthy of such position and to act accordingly. If there are those unhappy with the current state of the clan, the have no prerogative to stay. It is their choice whether they want to stay or leave.

To Ritter, Jootino, Zulu, and Kiwi, I have no qualms with your decision to start your own Clans/Platoons. However if you were unhappy with the current state of things all that was required was that you let everyone no that this wasn't going where you thought it was leading. That you were deciding to take things in another direction and that others had the same mind set as yourselves, and that you decided to start anew in your own way.

In all honesty I would like both parties to reconcile their differences as playing with all of you has been a great experience. Its a shame something as simple as VOIP, and squad problems could lead to such childish actions as name calling and "you cant be with us" mentality.

As for me personally I take some responsibility for this mess as I initially worked with everyone to try and consolidate ALL ideas into a more cohesive concept. In a way I was go between for may people passing on ideas to S13s main group.

Just so we are clear I take no sides in this as from my observations I see both "Faults" and Justification in both parties. In other words I agree and disagree with both arguments. If anyone needs another squad mate just shoot me an invite. I hold no grudges over this matter and still enjoy playing with you all.

So my brothers...

See You on the Battlefield.
