Best of luck to you Wolfsbane. Hope you find what you are looking for in another legion. However, the next time you don't like whats going on in your legion, I recommend that instead of randomly leaving, you try to change things. Hell you might even get promoted if you did something like that. Good luck!


He's seen people try that and NOT work. Keep on denying Sean....


Brian, more goes into the selection of officers than engaging with the legion. You know that, you've lead legions. To name a few other considerations: whether additional officers are needed, the person's history with the legion, their relationship with the rest of the officers/leaders, etc, etc.

Hence Robo's use of the word "might".

The point was that simply leaving the legion is not always a good solution. Especially if your complaints are things you have the ability to do something about (e.g. chat on comms if you want the comms to be more active).


Bad policy is bad policy. I brought up the demeaning requirement of needing an officer/leader approval on a legion alert months ago and was told it was "temporary". That's a long temporary...

The issue keeps coming back to leadership not listening to the people.

Not butthurt, just illustrating a point.

Yes butthurt.. You didn't get your own way so you threw a strop and set up a new legion (oh and then those involved in establishing the new legion had a petty troll session on FB chat)

You call it getting our way, we call it common sense. It ended up costing Delta quite a bit as the strongest ships left, but I guess that's working out for ya? And Unbongo, if I recall correctly, you smashed our recruitment thread at the time. I guess you were butthurt?

My main thought is, why were you guys so aggressive towards the player defecting. I understand one comment maybe two, depending on the content, to save face but everything else was not needed. In fact, almost right off the bat, the conversation was giving the player in question a very poor appearance. The topic was meant to help the, player in question, locate a new home. They found a new one, good for them but, it was possible your comments could have hindered them.

Either way, they, the player searching for a new home, has found a new legion. So all of this is now pointless, including my own comment, so cheers everybody.

The thread was resurrected (IMHO unnecessarily) after it had been silent for a week. At that point it quickly ceased to be about the player who made the original post and has become a slagging match between Delta (and allies) and a disgruntled former member.

Adsibearsawsome and Lord Nightshade are correct. This bickering is pointless and it makes both sides look like squabbling children.

Move on.

You speak out of both sides of your mouth. You aren't even in Delta, so go get an informed opinion before commenting on matters you weren't part of.

I speak out of the centre of my mouth thank you very much.

Nope, I am not, but I have been, and still hold them in regards due to the relationship between my past legion and themselves.

And finally, in terms of matters I wasn't a part of- I was a part of the group chat I was commenting on, and lost a lot of respect for certain people due to their actions in it.

There's 2 sides to every story, and you weren't part of the derogatory comments, including profanity laced name calling directed at me because those posts were deleted. Whatever, keep drinking the Delta Kool Aid.

I read the whole thread, painful as it was to read insults so immature, so I did see it all. Tbh, I have very little to do with Delta any more, just putting my two cents in on that situation. ;)
