Drop it. I don't care what you feel about the situation, drop it. Members here are free to come and go as they pelase. If they feel like CMS is a better fit for them, then they can go there and be happy. It's no sweat off my back. Those that leave due to lack of competitive play joined pDs for the wrong reasons and we're stronger as a group now that they're gone. It makes me sad reading over their forums. Ex-members like Delta referring to us as an "internet society of douche-bags." What is that about? The answer is: Who cares? So long. We're in no danger of dissolving. We've been around for ten years. A couple members jumping ship is not the end of the world. I've removed the link to their forums. I'm no longer considering their servers "honorary." From what I've read in both their forums, as well as personal chats I've had with a variety of people, they're not so fond of us. I'm still trying to wrap my head around why that is, but at the end of the day I've got much more important shit to deal with than wondering why some other e-community dislikes us. It wouldn't be the first time. It won't be the last time. So, in conclusion, let it go. Be the bigger person. Consider it purging of members who we're better off without. Those of you who continue to stay and support this mess, you are the true members of pDs. You're the ones who "get it." Thanks for that.

Good stuff, you know it's not like one or two people make a community, you need to look at the whole and realize that a great core of people are still around and while everyone is busy and has lives, they still want to be part of this community. This group of players is just as fun to be around and talented as when I first started playing here :D McCheese wrote:I've always said all women are 2 drinks away from full on lesbian action Lead Salad wrote:I never figured whut for a fairy..wait, yes, yes I did.

First, let me say that this "CMS issue" has only been brought up on WDFnews.com. Nothing has been said over on our forums, not even in our members section. However, I know some bad things have been said about us in your private forum, so please do not act like we are the instigators in this matter. Secondly, I would like to point out that delta is not a member of our clan. I would also love for you to tell me who has been saying a bad thing about pDs in CMS. Those of you that regular our server, or use to when Temp was down, know that we hold pDs with a lot of respect. I know myself, and many other CMS and GEM regulars enjoy when pDs stops by our servers. To name a few: Drakhen, Razor, Mr. 12, Muff, Phoenix, Duck, Granimal, 3bam, war, McCheese, the crawdads, Klules, rumour, mystique, frostbite, and a handful of others are always a blast to have on our server. Some of the best moments in TF2 have been with the pDs group, whether in our server, or not. I don't understand this "they aren't fond of us" business. It is certainly news to me. As a matter of fact, I'm sure a lot of CMS that don't read your boards have no idea there is an issue going on. I am not one to point fingers, but I can't see how this was started by us, or even encouraged by us. I think the group of pDs that knows us, doesn't think we dislike them. If they do, please message me, I will do my best to clear it up. As far as I could tell last night, when pDs was chillin with us in our server, there wasn't an issue at all. To me, this issue has been made up, there isn't one. I don't know why you are so hung up on the competition issue. If you go back and read the reason sabian left, you would see it is not for competition. He even replied to you, saying that was not the reason. I know you guys had issues with people leaving in the past, because there wasn't any competition and they were rude about, so you guys seem to look down on clans that compete. However, please don't assume that we are douche bags because of it. I know people have joined CMS not only because of competition, but because we are just a fun group to play with. There is nothing on our boards saying you have to compete, or that we are a competition clan. If anybody from CMS has been trash talking pDs, please, message Noobina or myself on steam, or pm us on this, or our forum. I would doubt it though, I know our group pretty well, I would be shocked if something bad was being said. To everyone, I am sorry this issue has been made up, but like before, and always, pDs is always welcome in our servers, and we always enjoy hanging out with you guys. There has never been an issue with the people that we play with, or the ones that come play with us. You guys are a fun group. Please message me if you think there is bad blood between us, I will be fast to clear that up. [CMS]defiance - Steam: defiance018 - Xfire: defianceoby - www.constantmayhem.com

I'm pretty sure the tensions have come up not so much about CMS as more of certain members and/or former pDs mouthing off without taking people's feelings into consideration, as well as some pDs flying off the handle for no good reason. There are some things I've seen from particular people on both sides that seem quite childish and untactful but seriously, both groups need to just accept the tides and move on. If clans can't get along then why are there so many different clans that play at both Tempest and Green Eggs? I say we start by getting a hate group going about GwDR first, those bastards, lol >:D McCheese wrote:I've always said all women are 2 drinks away from full on lesbian action Lead Salad wrote:I never figured whut for a fairy..wait, yes, yes I did.

I've never had any problems with CMS guys. They're pretty damn fun to play with (and when I move in a few days I want to invite them to drunken TF2). However, I think if its just a few random people, mainly ex pDS players, let's keep it to that level. I don't think there is a reason to generalize a whole community because one or two people decided to be jerks. Defiance and Noobina surely have never caused problems and I don't recall ever that their members have either. I hate to say, but this just seems blown out of proportion. CMS, I look forward to playing with you guys some more in the future. {pDs} Lead Salad: bike why did you change your name Jessica343: so I can get heals {pDs} Lead Salad: oh damn good idea {pDs} Lead Salad has changed their name to {pDs} Lead Salad (is a girl) Jessica343: hahah

It's weird...because from what I heard the "CMS issue" was only being talked about in your private forum. So why even bring it to public attention? To make a point? To who? Us? I know where I stand with the pDs that I call friends, and like defiance said...most of our members would probably be shocked that there is even an issue worthy of a post like that.
From what I can tell the people trying to stir up trouble, make an example of us, or use us as a scapegoat are people that don't even really know us. I can't control what an applicant says in their posts and if you notice not a single CMS member even acknowledged the "internet society of douche-bags" comment. It seems like you have an issue with the people that are leaving your clan. Don't take it out on us.
I'm sorry to hear our servers are no longer considered "honorary". I didn't know it had gotten to that point. I honestly have no idea what kind of conversations you could of had with various people that would lead you to believe we have anything but love for you guys, but i'm gonna go ahead and assume none of the people were actually in CMS. If you would like to continue this game of telephone that's fine, it's your choice. Those of you that would like to actually speak to me directly, know how to reach me.
I'm sorry if anyone in pDs feels that CMS is "not fond of" them. It's funny because pDs is the reason we decided to get more active in TF2. I was inspired by your clan. All the people I had met along the way were really nice and fun to play with. Your server was our main server to play in, before we got our own. I would have liked to think of us as friends.
I have absolutely no beef or issue with anyone in pDs. And those of you that know me...know that. Those of you that don't, i'd like to ask you to take the time and get to know me and my clan before you make assumptions or throw around accusations. I hope we can get passed all this.

I like the people in {pDs} clan. I also like the people in CMS clan. I enjoy occasionally having some fun with people I like playing TF2 together on either the CMS or {pDs} servers. I also enjoy the random mischief and amusements found on the {pDs} forums. I probably would enjoy the same on the CMS forums but I haven't had time to check them out. I think I'll continue having fun in my spare time with friends regardless of what letters they have in front of their names. "I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Smells like ... victory"

I think there is some misunderstanding here.. I'm going to attempt to clarify something and hope it makes everything better. I posted a joke thread in the private forums saying CMS was hired by Monstervince* and Brad Burns** to sabotage pDs. I think I made it pretty obvious that it was a joke but then again a lot of people tend to take what I say seriously so that might be what caused the serious conversation about the merits and pitfalls of both of our clans. I came back the next day and there was 3 pages of people talking about CMS (admittedly I didn't really read all of it). However I got that the general feeling among members is that we dig CMS but we are sad that a couple of our more awesome members (kbuz and luap) left to join you guys. I'm not aware of any real beef between CMS and pDs, I personally think all of the CMS members I can name (Noobina, defiance.. shit that shows how good my memory is) are really cool people although they seem more serious about the game than I like to be. I call into question whether or not Delta was actually talking about us when he said internet society of douchebags.. I found the post you were talking about whut, and he doesn't explicitly state that he was talking about us. He may have just been talking about other clans, of which there are many, that are composed primarily of 13y.o. boys. We met Delta at PenguinLan '08 and he was a homie. I talk to him infrequently and he expressed interest in coming to PLan '09 and, I will now contradict myself from earlier and spill the beans, he told me that it was bestesthwguy and "others" that drove him to stop playing on our servers. Anyways, unless I'm missing something hugely obvious, this whole post should be forgotten and we can go back to being "associates" as it were. History lesson: *Huge douchebag who quit pDs and formed a clan of douchebags within the website and servers, of which I was briefly a member before they got their own website and servers **Another huge douchebag who ran a sheisty computer business and scammed people out of money. When he was exposed by another website and, if I recall correctly, Sirus, he was banned and started incessantly calling whut and sirus revealing his decaying mental state.

You'd be surprised at how un-serious we are when it comes to just our public servers. I just want to make this point clear, and I'm sure Noobina does to. We never recruited any1 away from pDs, we would never do that. I don't understand a lot of things that OP said, or where they are coming from. I know you guys have had bad experiences with people that compete, but you shouldn't judge our whole clan, just because a small group of us like to compete. Also, you shouldn't judge any of us for competing, unless you have some evidence of us being douche bags because of that. I would like to thank every1 that said nice things about us in this thread. If you don't have something nice to say, please, say it, and we can clear that up for you, thanks.

I think this is in reference to what I posted in the private forum? I skimmed that thread and couldn't find any real shit talking that sounds like this besides mine. FYI, I was unaware of the existence of CMS until sometime within the past week or two and none of what I wrote was explicitly directed at CMS but rather at competitive clans in general. I still don't really have a clue who CMS is (although I did get batfucked for an hour by Noobina on your server last night), but it is kind of weird that you guys know what we are posting in our private forums. WTF is that about? Razor wrote:Killing people is good therapy.
