It was Skro who came to us asking if we'd recruit any NCM players. We at the time told him we didn't want to poach anyone from NCM because it wouldn't be fair. Skro then made it clear over several dicussions with myself CheapShot and Thermo that Skro (and other NCMers) expected CIA to recruit from NCM and that some even wished to join. <BR/><BR/>This lead to an extremely intense and long debate within CIA about whether we should recruit from NCM and whether it was possible or not to do so without putting NCM out of action. <BR/><BR/>As an alternative we proposed to Skro an idea that we should combine our active rosters on TWL under a different name and just have CIA and NCM compete together. This offer was turned down. <BR/><BR/>In the end we decided against recruiting anyone from NCM. This is when we picked up Moltex, who has become an excellent scout for us. <BR/><BR/>Well a couple months go by, L4D comes out and we're right back where we started. We're short on starters, and so is NCM. We talk with Skro again, and again get the green light to recruit from NCM. CIA again debates internally whether we should or not, this time we finally just bite the bullet and decide to offer a spot to three NCM members. <BR/><BR/>At the time we offered spots to the people who we felt were most committed to playing TF2 and to this community (i.e the ones who had been most active and around over the past few months). <BR/><BR/>So there it is. There was no devious objective, where we set out to destroy NCM.NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676526420561408571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647230.post-44013628743385579712009-01-24T18:31:00.000-05:002009-01-24T18:31:00.000-05:00After some recent comments by other NCM members, I...After some recent comments by other NCM members, I had a growing concern that some or all NCMers are completely unaware of the true course of events in this matter. It's truly unfortunate you decided to wrongly and publicly incriminate a clan with an excellent reputation spanning more than 10 years. Surely you were suspicious that these events seemed out of our clan's character? <BR/><BR/>In my haste, I'd like to only highlight Thermo's points 1 and 5 for now. You will notice that our clan name in the TWL is "CIA and the Tramps". I chose the name so that CIA could join the league along with some active Smack regulars, if they so desired. When NCM did not join the TWL (6v6 league) by the deadline, I approached NCM management about your clan's situation and whether you'd be interested in playing along with CIA in the league. It was at that time I was informed that NCM players might be interested in joining CIA instead.<BR/><BR/>Way to jump on the dramawaggon, sibladeko. I love the irony.<BR/><BR/>PS - There was no poll.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647230.post-47794228831420620322009-01-24T17:54:00.000-05:002009-01-24T17:54:00.000-05:00I'm sorry you feel this way.

We didn't approach anyone in NCM, we were approached.<BR/>2. We talked with Skro first.<BR/>3. Skro was told from the very beginning of his involvment with NCM that NCM has been a farm team for CIA for years.<BR/>4. Skro was specifically asked if NCM would survive if we were to recruit some of his players and he didn't seem worried.<BR/>5. Instead of recruiting NCM players, we asked Skro if he'd be more interested in forming a joint CIA/NCM roster. Skro wasn't interested.<BR/>6. At the time we were looking into potential recruits you had a ridiculously low number of hours playing TF2, which didn't jive with our whole reason for recruitment: having people available for matches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
