Taipion, at the time I sent Darwoth the screenshots of your soccer tantrum, I had interacted with him only a few times very shortly before, and then once many months before asking a question about base defense, which I felt he would--and did--answer because I, among others (including JC), had incidentally and impersonally taken his side in the infamous "Nuke Dev Island" Claeyt thread.
We were not by any sensible definition friends at that time. The reason I sent him those SSs was because I basically wanted to just burn a bridge and be done with it. The bridge to Condescending **** Island, whose chief export is, unsurprisingly, condescending cuntiness. I have a bad habit of allowing people I don't like to linger in my life, so I sent it to Darwoth with tacit permission to post it if he wanted. I wanted to burn that bridge so you would at least have to row your cuntiness to my shores. You and I got along at times, but mostly as a function of my extreme newbiness; you had knowledge of the game to share, which defrayed the cost to my patience of dealing with both your general ***** and your monomaniacal fixation on bashing the US. As I became more knowledgable in the game over the weeks and months, it became less and less worthwhile to deal with you, though, as I mentioned before, I have a personality flaw in the form of not cutting ties with people no matter how tired I am of their behavior, so I decided the soccer tantrum SSs being posted by Darwoth would let me get around it.
We talked for months and months and things only continued to sour. I'm sure I could cite countless examples thanks to the fact that I saved my old Latikai logs folder to my Google Drive. Off the top of my head, a few examples include: soccer tantrum (of course); "mmh-gate"--when you wanted help producing metals but then said I would need to play the game longer and you would not be able to talk to me for a week so that I could mature without your guidance yet still listening to your opinions on all things un-Salem-related, and what I refer to in my mind as the Ryebread Commandments, in which in exchange for several massive discounts on bulk trade goods, you descended from the mountaintop holding two loaves of rye like clay tablets, which, mind bogglingly, led to a rant about America after you smugly told me how I, as a new player, was doing gluttony completely wrong, but offering no advice when I sought it.
I had only just started talking to Darwoth, and only because of a proposition someone--I suppose I won't name names even though it's very obvious to many--was making to me, and how they sought to legitimize themselves and increase plausibility of their goals on Providence. They basically told me how they had repeatedly pulled Darwoth's ass out of the fire on Popham, which struck me as odd, because out of the hundreds of negative things I had seen said about Darwoth, bumbling and incompetent were not among them. In fact, I wasn't even going to do message him, but Mary, who was my best remaining friend at the time after Trismegistus had disappeared, recommended I do so.
I could go on and on, but seeing how long this has already gotten, I think I'll wrap up this post by reiterating that Darwoth and I were not friends by any stretch at at time. I was just ready to be done dealing with your behavior.
