So …<\/p>\n

Well, I still don’t know the whole story, but clearly a second Katrina hurled into the Alliance, sending what rather remarkable rebuilding had been done flying into the air like Dorothy’s twister. <\/p>\n

Casualties this time, beyond the immediate body count, appear to be the AoC forum, freedomphalanx.com<\/em>, and the core Alliance, most\/many of whom seem to be hieing off to the CoC forum and so on and so forth. The AoC forum evaporates along about 10\/24, along with anything written there. And any further discussion there is currently moot, given that Stateswoman has locked the forums.<\/p>\n

Joy. Another<\/em> project (backing up that material).<\/p>\n

So far as the Alliance goes, according to Captain Atomyc, “As of today the Freedom Phalanx, Crusaders, Noctem, and Virtue are leaving the organization. Any remaining members of those teams are welcome to continue on as such if they wish.” Which is rather remarkable — I guess, while I was sleeping somewhere, the FP became one of … well, saying “them” makes it sound awfully factional, but …<\/span><\/p>\n

For the record, that “leaves” the Consortium of Justice, the Prelude to Justice (though I think they’re leaving, too — at least Cap mentions that Halorin’s trying to organize some sort of all-Champions RP alliance), and the Storm Knights. And the Boomtown Saints, so far as that goes.<\/span><\/p>\n

(It does make me wonder if it would be easier for the CoJ and the Storm Knights to simply get somehow kicked out, instead of everyone else leaving, but …)<\/span><\/p>\n

Where\/what next? Questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assuming we’re basically talking about the CoJ and SK …<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \nI will probably pull Velvet<\/strong> out of the Phalanx. I’m not sure who’s left there that I’ve a big interest in playing with, anyway, and she’s not a very active toon, and so forth.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \nDo we need or want forum space somewhere? I can set up space where I have<\/strike> had<\/strike><\/em> have the CoI. I don’t know nuthin’ about transferring over old material. And it’s an SMF forum, not a phpBB. And it may be moot, anyway. My own interest in maintaining ties can be (and has been, of late) handled in non-forum fashion, via e-mail, IM, this blog, or others’. <\/span>And so long as I keep CoXing,
    \nthis blog will stay up, and so (from a Dave-centric view), that’s most of the forum that I<\/em> need. <\/span>Folks feel free to chime in on the subject.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \nAssuming the CoJ gets dropped from coalition with the others, I plan to maintain CC with the Storm Knights (some fine folks over there, including a couple of my own). Anyone of my “little circle of friends” (as SB so delicately put it) is welcome to a slot in the CoJ, as a place to hang their SG hat. Don’t worry about IC reasons — we can work something out, and, frankly, that’s right now the least of my worries. <\/span>Indeed, I’ve spent about, oh,
    \nall the time I’ve spent on it this morning more time than I really had to spend on it. But it seemed worthwhile doing so.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \nAgain, I don’t know all the skinny of what happened, save what I’ve been told by friends. That said, I’ve not seen anything in the forums that makes me doubt anything they’ve said, which makes the whole episode appallingly sad (and angering) and a lesson to be learned by us all on something or another about human nature, maturity, the Internet, social systems, politics, or whatever.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. \nI plan to continue to play CoX as opportunity presents and inclination inclines. I will continue to play mostly with Margie, just because that’s the most convenient and the most fun. I’ll welcome the opportunity to play with any of those who I’m interested in playing with (and who are interested in playing with me).<\/span>\n<\/li>\n

    <\/span>\n<\/ol>\n
