I know perfectly well that “you shouldn’t air dirty laundry in public,” but I will tell you how it all happened because Darth Saruman left mainly because of me… as far as I understand, and this also has some bearing on the Clan.
Let me explain so that I don't have a guilty conscience weighing on me for having driven someone out of the Clan. Let me warn you right away; I am telling everything as it is:
1) At first, Darth Saruman and I communicated very well, we created a map to hold Competitive events, for “new blood,” and Kyle played through this map.
2) We played online games together several times, and regardless of the result, we never argued or quarreled.
3) Once, we decided to play
with the Clan, and we couldn't manage to arrange things so that 2 members of the Clan were allied with each other because the map wasn't prepared beforehand. So, we decided to play randomly. After 5-8 attempts, Darth Saruman started losing patience. He said he wouldn't play anymore. In ICQ, I negotiated with him, begged him, saying that this was a Tournament for the honor of the Clan. My nerves were already frayed, but I endured. I asked him to endure too, that it couldn’t be that we would just keep being unlucky… after 10 attempts, he simply refused to play, saying he was tired of it... I didn't say anything to him and continued playing with Crash. The next morning, I wrote a couple of posts stating that the game hadn't taken place due to problems with the map and the impatience of two players...
4) And as they say, here is the finale. We were going to play online (me and the others), created a map, and started playing. Then, Darth Saruman appeared and very persistently asked me to start over so that he could play with us. I thought that refusing wouldn't be nice, so I asked the players, and they agreed. We decided to start the game again, and then it began... Hamachi has one problem; I won't explain it. But the point is that sometimes you can play with someone, and sometimes you can't. There was a delay, and then Darth Saruman showed his true colors. He simply stated that we should all come to his game. I tried to explain to him that this wouldn't work, after which he simply said, "Oh, forget it," and just stopped responding to me in ICQ.
Now imagine my position: I interrupted a game with 2 people who had been waiting for me for 30 minutes while I was trying to find ways for Darth Saruman to play with us too. When I finally found him, we needed to create a game on the computer where Darth Saruman would connect normally. I explained to the person how to create a game, and then Darth Saruman simply states that he will not play with me… well, what do you think of that?
The next day, I wrote in our chat, in front of everyone, that I would no longer communicate with Darth Saruman because he behaves like a child, and I generally don’t associate with fools...
Let everyone know this; I am not ashamed of the words I said because I believe they are true. So that I don't have to explain to each person why Darth Saruman left – here is “my truth”... :(
