Oni, I see nothing has changed--you are just as uninformed as ever. Perhaps you should try making sure more of your "facts" actually have some accuracy to them before you base an entire rant on them.

Hasn't been very long, maybe what, a month?
A month is an awful long time to be eating popcorn. ;)
But I am very amazed anyway. You've managed to recruit a lot of new players. New to your clan just as much as the game, actually. I love going into your servers and watching guys with RP tags try to shoot me from 500 yards away with the AR. Hilarity. But I digress.
I think fewer than 10 of those players have been new in the past month. The rest have been around for a while. As for new to the game, sure--a few of them are, and since they've joined RP they've gotten better. But usually we recruit by invitation, which means they need to be in the server a lot and they usually need to be either high on the scoreboards or good at something in particular, like capturing the flag or rocket sniping.
We all know you're not to thank for that at all; If Platypus had stayed inactive, RP would be dead.
You're right; I can't take credit. There's a list of 80+ people who help make RP great, and about 70 of them play Halo.
As for Platypus, he officially is classified as inactive in Halo Division right now. He has been busy with work, and for the past several months when he has played computer games he has almost always played Silkroad Online. He hasn't posted on the forums in ages, hasn't chatted much in a while, and has only been in TS a couple times recently, as far as I know. Needless to say, we're looking forward to seeing him some more when his workload gets a little lighter or when he finally breaks his Silkroad addiction. ;)
If he hadn't shown up, you'd still be backing King and all of his lame decisions,
Seriously, I've hardly seen Plat since probably October. I'm beginning to think you must have some sort of learning impediment or memory problem which prevents you from acknowledging what I have told you numerous times in the past. I know it won't make much difference, but I'll say it again: King and I have disagreed on many things and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Both of us have admitted to our mistakes in the past and have done our best to correct them, but in most cases we neglect to consult with you first. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. Perhaps if you had joined RP instead of going on a one-man crusade to tell everyone how horrible we are, we would have kept you more informed.
just as you were when you decided to PM-war me last month.
No, my friend, not a war. Not even close. You need to learn the art of arguing before you'll be able to do anything more than vomit on my shoes. To be honest, I was (and continue to be) rather disappointed with your performance. I hate to say it, but I've really gotten quite bored with you because you keep trying to build houses out of straw, and all you do is regurgitate the same drivel over and over again. That's not good for your esophagus, you know.
Platy still remains as the ONLY good part of RP, and completely pwns King as a leader, which he probably should've been from the start.
Platypus wasn't around 6 or 7 years ago when ESJGS was founded or 5 years ago when they changed their name to Red Phoenix. But I'll pass your sentiments along to the other RPs anyway.
And ok, Dapp's back at your forums. That's what, one of five? Doesn't take back the fact that King was (and still is) a totalitarian prick. It took a lot of persuasion and time for King to change his mind, but when it all comes down to it, this whole "anyone who quits RP is an enemy of the clan" thing shouldn't have happened in the first place.
I'm assuming the five you're talking about are all former RPs. To my knowledge, Matt is the only one still banned. I don't disagree with you that it "shouldn't have happened in the first place" but it did, and the people who were wronged seem to have gotten over it. Perhaps it's time for you to move on, too.
