*A testiment to an old thread http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=255493.0
Australian Warband has gone through so much conflict and corruption, since the thread above was published back in what I like to think was the end of the golden years of Australian Warband. A slow decline in attendance / player base in Australia the result of internal squabbles, wars and ridiculous propaganda. I regret that I was an enforcer of the policies and participant from the beginning jumping sides in the Australian Napoleonic Wars. I was ignorant to see what I would be creating and destroying back then when I was just another ruthless unbounded troll.
Lounge Chair Carnage died long ago and only recently the “Official Community” United Oceanic Gaming has also kicked the bucket. Now the community that calls itself the Official Hosting community is empty and the larger half has joined the Men Of Valor *Germanic War Machine* as ironically shown in supporter made videos and pictures. The splinter cell remains of the Australian community reside in a handful of regimental teamspeaks and in the NW group I maintain GGS (Gentlemen Gaming Society).
Admiration to those admins and leaders before me who tried to fight for the benefit of everyone and hold together the warband community for this long. I have high respect to all from the original LCC and ANH plus the other communities which were shutdown or caught in the crossfire. I thank you gents for inspiring me to continue and try and do better. Ryan, Baron, Eurekan, Tommygun, Conroy, Pink Chains, Horse, Pie, Bunny, Evans, Matt, Wolfgang, Wookie, Resin, Hound, Hootch, Stabalot, Lolability, Oysters, those annoying prebs and Hikkups, thanks for being my teachers in making me the *insert personal description here* today. It is not in sarcasm or facetious intent. I think you have all contributed in a positive way to how I look at live the world and everything. I hope reading this that you understand that I may have trolled or been too radical to pinpoint, I respect all of you. I wish all the best but being casualties of an endless war has influenced me in why I wish to move on from where we came and do something meaningful.
I don’t and a significant amount of others don’t want to stop playing the game and continue fueling an never ending war. I have witnessed and been the victim of community leaders using the power they wield to name and shame anyone who stands in the way of total control of the market in Australia. When shots are fired, lies emerge followed by botnet attacks disabling servers affecting hundreds in the community. I follow a line of many other who want change, being someone who have committed atrocities and broker for both sides / knowledgeable enough to enact what the people want.
GGS, a new challenger in the warband community I am leading vouches to persist and discourage negative behavior in our wonderful game. We want to present innovation and deliver a quality experience to all who wish to use our servers. We won’t be shut down due to capacity, network attacks or threats / hate campaigns or encourage others to do the same. Transparency by providing all of our ingame logs to anyone through internally created systems. Reliability though knowing how warband works and giving it the best server environment for it to flourish. Dedication to persist and open to everyone. I want to unite everyone to work together to keep this game alive and discourage anymore future hate campaigns.
For a long time I have been in the backseat of an uncountable amount of regiments and have been in all the camps formed within NW in Aus. In my time between camps, the same issues seem to cycle over in a repeating then when all seems lost, revolutions are forged which then are turned into desperate power struggles going back to what was originally founded minus a few more players who decide to uninstall.
If the warband community continues to split apart and continue making more isolationist regiments / hate groups then when it comes time to bannerlord, nobody may be left.
I admit I am not the best guy with the crystal clean record of doing good but I am passionate about this game. I am willing to give this my all and if I fail the people who follow me by calling it quits *which I have no intentions to do* or participate in wrongful conduct , I will accept, acknowledge and retreat from this place and move on to another realm.
I wish the best of luck to all who all Australians who decide to come back to warband after reading this post. If you do not wish to return then I understand.
Thank you for reading.
