I love this thread... i check it often and i can no longer resist adding my two cents! I thought that throwing in a little presumed collusion between SOE (Kason) and Reborn could be good for a hoot. I was planning to quietly wait out my suspension and come back to oppress and humiliate the likes of Reborn (it's leaders!), but i feel it is necessary to point out how convenient it is to suspend so many members of the leading guild on befallen.
Imagine a befallen server without Eternal Chaos... contested would be frolicking about, SOE wouldn't ever need to add new content, and raiding guilds like Reborn would be free to wipe on old content again and again. It would be a whole new world! No... it would be heaven!! omgz...
So, my theory goes a little something like this: SOE (Kason) recognized the pathetic leadership of Reborn, and the fact that they whined (petitioned) more often than they actually raided, so (he) took it upon himself to give Reborn a little advantage over EC, which he hoped would create a befallen server where Reborn could feasibly compete as a raiding guild. He knew that some important contested were due to pop in the coming days so he decided to take drastic and uninformed disciplinary action against a dozen EC members in ToS.
He knew that once enough EC members were suspended Reborn would both stop whining and they would have the opportunity to try to kill a few contested while 1/3rd of EC was out of the picture. Nevertheless, Kason, being a wily sob and having witnessed how a crippled EC still managed to kill the Princes', he knew well of the incompetence of Reborn's leaders and so he decided to give them another helping hand to guarantee their success. Step one; suspend ~12 EC members. Step two; Gimp hurricanus. At last, with the addition of step two Reborn was able to overcome a contested! With this final act the conspiracy was complete. Reborn was given the handicap they desired and Kason helped SOE by giving them a break from both the incessant whining of Reborn and he helped spread the desire of SOE that guilds should raid more often.
Everybody wins! The end.
Ok, i'm done... don't care if it doesn't all make sense. Enjoy.
