Topic: Open Letter to Woundy

[|BUG| Shamu]

Woundy, the time is long overdue for you to leave FS and join us here at the Buggars. Face it the Buggars are more FS than FS. The FS tag is a mere figment of what it once stood for.

FS has been usurped by imposters who have no idea of what the origins of FS were or the oroiginal intent of FS. How many years is it that the term of Council remained in limbo because Council wanted sole power?

Did you know it was wanted that way because the member’s intelligence was disrespected by some members Council?

Now, only you and Slick remain to fight the battle for what the FS was once upon a time. It's changed, not for the good but it has changed. And with the change you have been left in the minority to argue with a power clique who can distort the facts to their favor.

The real FS are no longer there, they have left and moved on, many of them are here.

I have been banned from FS because of my posts, but also possibly because I knew too much from my time on Council. In two years or so I only missed one Council meeting. Nor could they lie if I had access to Private.

Some once said I quit Council because I did not get my way. That was clearly answered by me and that issue quickly disappeared. Bottom line was a Council member was not expected to discuss things with the members. I did not like that restraint.

Ask Slick about a Council member talking to the members.

Or ask Happy Flowers who as a Council member was called to task by Council for putting up a poll soliciting member opinion. The poll was arbitrarily removed.

We have a fine community here Woundy and you would be most welcome to join.

Personally I have deep regrets because I left you and Slick alone to fight for the truth and facts about the deterioration of FS. I feel I have abandoned you to the wolves.

Leverage for you is gone, without leverage you are in a difficult fight. The leadership and those close to the leaders can manage the spin control and combine to distort and manipulate the facts about the deterioration of FS. Make no mistake, inside information is shared selectively, a favored way to manipulate spin control.

Essentially they won, grudgingly I admire them for that. They ignored and disciplined the majority of FS who wanted a more open and responsive leadership group until almost all of us left. Pretty much a military takeover of the population.

They kicked an elected Council member (Slick Rick) off Council without a member vote or even notice to the Council member of his ejection.

Worse yet the kick was primarily from information gathered by a Council member sneaking into a Private TS conversation, using my name with Mic muted, and then reporting what he heard to Council.

That Council member did resign as a result but the action, in it's self, was indicative of Council's mentality.

I use the above as one example because if any FS reads this they can still ask Slick for conformation of what I have said.

Same with my reference to Happy Flower's, ask him.

Actions both indicative of the control factor among leadership.

Members were banned and disciplined without any explanation or a fair hearing where a defense may have been offered.

The list could go on and on.

Pack it up Woundy, move on over here, the FS is the Freesoldiers in name only, little of the origins remain, unfortunate but true. More of the original FS are here than there.

FS is new and different, nothing remains of what the name once represented, the origins of FS and the closeness among the members has been ruined by power. Now the closeness resides in a select clique.

It’s simply no longer what it once was, and unfortunately those remaining, especially the newer ones, have absolutely no clue as to what transpired or simply choose to ignore it.

They are in, they got Rcon and that's good enough for many.

Woundy,

I realised things were frakked up in the FS only  a month or so after I joined the FS.
The abandonment of the MOH part of the clan was the first hit but the worst, and  the one that triggered me, was the censorship of threads in our private forums and not only.
The signs of an elitistic behaviour and the realisation that I was a member of a group not only to have fun but to also feed the power needs of some ppl, ppl who believe that "their" membership wasn't worthy to even have an opinion.

Like you, I didnt want to leave the FS, I stayed for more than a year trying (not successfully) to make our members realise we have a problem and do something about it.
I thought I could "save" the FS and bring them back to what it was when I first "met" them.

Big mistake from my part Woundy, first cause I was trying to have dialogue with ppl who only tried to demean me and didn't even believe I was entintled to have an opinion in the first place.
And second cause instead of trying to have fun in some of my cyber free time I found myself cought in a web of politics, disgrace and awfullyness with ppl that were (and probably still are) unable to see beyond their own royal noses.

Sometimes caring about something is not enough. I don't feel defeated for leaving the FS, I gave my fights I saw I couldn't change anything and I left them behind.
I didn't want to have anything with them anymore.

I and I will never regret it.
Look what we have now here.
The only thing I regret sometimes, is that I didn't left earlier, and gave them energy and feelings they never really deserved.

Don't do the same mistake I did.
Whatever you do, bug or no bug you will alwasy be one of us Woundy.
And that's the only thing that matters

Hey Woundy,
Battles in Mohaa are fought on the battlefield, and there made there for fun. The battle in the forums isnt what friendship is all about. I have never walked away from a game of spearhead with you playing that i havent had a grin.. you deserve much more than what the FS could ever be or offer. I honestly believe the best of the best have called this there home, and this is where you belong. Friends and Family, Play Hard and Have Fun

See you on the Buggars battlefield,
Brother Beckett

Do what you think is right Woundy; however, if you choose another way besides us you will be forever punished. Muahahaha.


Come to the dark side woundy, such anger and temptation I feel within you young one. Oh you would make a great jedi, ermmm BUG..

Anyhow, get over here.

[Hooligan]

After what I saw from a current member in another server, I'm beyond disgusted, and want nothing to do with it.  I will join you guys when I can for some good old MOH, and fun.
The denegration of [FS] is utter and complete.  It is not the same place that I have played at for three years.  I no longer want to be a part of it.
When time allows, I shall see you all.

When life is hard you have to change...

I don't want Woundy here.  He keeps killing me with his freaking rifle.

Go AWAY WOUNDY.   

By the way Shamu, you think you could have spoken to him over wings and beer?  LOL

[|BUG| GenomeSoldier]

By the way Shamu, you think you could have spoken to him over wings and beer? LOL

Thats what I was thinking. lol   

[|BUG| Shamu]

By the way Shamu, you think you could have spoken to him over wings and beer?  LOL

Out of the question, I shall not contribute to his consumption of alcohol

(Hey OM.... Constitutionally "shall" means definite right? )

Besides, this forum provides a format to make many current FS aware of what actually transpired at FS.....many of them do visit and read.

And speaking of Wings and beer I shall place the blame on you. That offer was made by me, in e-mail, to you which you did not address in replies.

So, the responsinbility for not meeting over wings and beer is your doing not mine

[OrangeMarlin]

Depends on how "responsibility" is defined. 

Don't the FS have better things to do than read these forums???  I mean don't they have people to ban, rules to create, and more CoD games to start-up?

Of course, banning noobs was one of my favorite activities at FS.

[|BUG| Cobra_9]

Kinda has me wondering........
In early summer I think,....I wanted Seven's e-mail address and next thing I know I am banned from the site. Took some doing to find NS e-mail on the web. Inquired about ban, got connected for a couple sessions then was banned again.

[|BUG| Shamu]

I have been told by an FS member, and not Woundy, that one of us Bugs referred to an FS member visiting our server as an "asshole".

I would hope that is not true and would be surprised if it were. I am probably one of the most vocal critics of FS but I do it on the basis of facts as I know them and FS procedures which I found disrespectful of member opinions and rights.

Some FS should be welcome guests because they are not all bad apples, some would still be welcome members, And those that are not welcome need not be called names. Silence would work fine.

I would also appreciate it if the FS who relayed this to me tells FS how I found out about this so some power hungy FS does not use this as an excuse to ban Woundy thinking he is revealing private info to me.

Going further I would love to know who was allegedly called an "asshole", at this point I do not know, nor do I know the circumstances if it did happen.
