I was as up set as anyone when it started to go so bad, and from
the point of view of the clans that missed out becouse of it, it
did appear to be some kind of set up. The #1 thing your team to
convince me that it wasnt that at all, was when you guys finally
came out and said "we messed up". That honest answer carries a lot
of wait with it. When I was in the Army, I learned early that 95%
of a but chewing was them telling you how bad you messed up, so if
I was wrong and got called in to the First Sergeants office, when
asked what happened I would say "i messed (or other words) up"
after that all there was left to say was "your right you did and
dont do it again". You guys admited it was messed up and we owe you
the right to "not let it happen again". I raelly think the tier
three event will be a lot of fun, as for the "top tier clans" if
they are as good as they think, it wont take them long to regain
the upper hand. In the mean time people can have fun and maybe
spark more interest in Clan Wars.
Thanks and have a nice day

GeneralDirection: Thanks, Arrowfoot. I agree; it's time to focus on the future for
us. We spent the last week feeling pretty miserable about what
happened. I slept 3-4 hours a day since Friday because I was so
focused on coming up with solutions to this mess.
We're pretty happy with what we've decided on and will be sharing that on Monday if all goes well, Tuesday at the latest.
Bottom line, we screwed up and three top clans essentially got thrown under the bus because of how dedicated they are to clan wars. I don't know if we can ever repair that fracture; they definitely didn't deserve the abuse I've heard they were subjected to.
Yes, there were some questionable diplomatic agreements that took place, but that is how high end clan wars has worked since the beginning. Like in life, clan wars isn't just about overpowering someone physically, but also mentally.
We realize we have to change some things for landing tournaments, but they played by the same book they have for a long while. We can't penalize them for that since we stated clan wars rules applied.
