Feniks I wish i was at liberty to say what you need to hear, but i am not.
Rest assured, TK put forth more effort in the past 24 hrs than I have yet seen in this game. The amount of influence that was taken by unknown peoples and replenished the past 24 hours, the amount of population that was lost due to unknown forces at work in all their ports and replenished, Baramas lost 1.3 billion alone.
I promise you, atleast as far as TK is concerned, this had nothing to do with ego.
Trust me, IoM has shown immense support too. As soon as they noticed my influence dropping, even before a decision on our movements had been decided, CD's were thrown on me. Not to mention the amount that had been thrown my way during the prop attacks.
And yes, prop attacks DID start about a week before a final decision on our move was made. I have received multiple PM's from people saying to keep an eye on our influence, because it's dropping hard, and if we wouldn't keep it up, they'd be taking the port away from us.
And yes it does s**k that El Draque and me, weren't going to stick together because of IoM's raid on him. I probably would've told them to stick it too. But my decision was made. Unfortunately, his path went a different way. We had discussed what was going to happen to Baramas, and I had spoken to Will about it, and told him that if me and Draque were to join IoM, Draque was to remain Governor of Baramas. This to thank him for his loyalty to Kiribati and to me. Even though he might've been better as a King, he never once complained, and always tried to move the Nation forward.
What we hadn't discussed however, what to do with the port when we would each go our own way. And due to all the prop bs, didn't even get a chance to discuss, as the damage had already been done.
