First off, TAR is definitely in a better direction. Having to hold the entire clan on my shoulders for the past 2 years stressed me out to the point where my actions were disagreeable and erratic at best. I look back with disgust at some of the things I did, but can understand why I did them - I was overwhelmed.

Secondly, I have always wanted the officers in the clan to have an equal say and I had been pushing for it for a while as I have a new full time job for the first time in 2 years since I have fixed much of my serious health problems. The members of TAR are all great people and I do not regret recruiting a single one of them. I made serious mistakes and underestimated the consequences of what I did because of my erratic and seriously distorted sense of my surroundings.

TAR and our server mean everything to me. The friendship of those who are regulars in our server and our clan members is what keeps me playing. Having a new job and a real life to care about without the weight of the world on my shoulders anymore is fantastic. Trying to keep TAR and RRF back in the day together with just my wits was emotionally draining because I care deeply for PR and our clan's progress.

I know many of you don't like me, and to be honest, I have never really cared what people think about me. Being a server admin of one of the most popular PR servers is something you don't do for the popularity of yourself. I do it because I enjoy giving my friends a place to play. However, I do not regret the people that I or other members under my rules/guidance have banned. Most of you deserved it in one way or another and I can assure you I banned maybe 200 people over the course of the existence of Virginia and Texas USA. This is about 3500 hours of gameplay total, so thats a pretty low ratio.

Anyways, I just wanted everyone to know that yes, I have made a lot of mistakes but I just got back from taking 3 weeks off to get my real life in order after the events of the beginning of May forced me to reevaluate my life. I've released all of the stress I had from running the clan and server with little aid for so long. If I didn't care about running the best server around I wouldn't have been so stressed out, and I still do care about making it the best around, don't get me wrong, and i'll play my part in making it popular again this summer. I encourage each of you to come back and give it a try under our new rules and regulations.

I apologize to anyone who I hurt with my actions (excluding those of you who deserved it for cheating/hacking/doing distasteful acts to our server). Please understand that things are different, and my actions were defensible with only this fact: I cared far too deeply about keeping the server full at the expense of my friendship with my buddies in TAR and other clans like GS and TMP and CIA. Things will be different. However I will still do my best, in a much more sane manner, to keep our server as fresh and unique as possible by running events during the middle of the day all summer long so you don't have to play in servers with fixed rotations. We want to be and are already on the path to being the best and most friendly North American server around! Look at your options, you can't beat us when compared to you know who!

Thank you all, and I hope that you can see me in a new light now that you understand why I did what I did and what the underlying reasoning for my actions were. Things are so much more enjoyable for me as a person now that I can actually play and not worry about problems all the time! Being an officer instead of a one man leader having so much stress has made me feel like I've been born again into a warmer and brighter future.

With regards,

P.S. - In response to the insults by coeman, I have only one thing to say - I hold no grudge against you old friend. Why do you? Its been 2 years since we've even had contact and nothing done that long ago should still be stirring up so much hate so close to the surface. Move on, because I sure have forgotten you long ago.

richyrich55 wrote:I wanted to help. I really did. It felt as though I would never be made an officer or have any say in what goes on. I had plans to make a recruitment post for the forums here, but I just never got around to making it. The things that went on before I left and how rebiv and the clan (not everyone, some people) behaved in the server/TS solidified my descesion to leave. I could not handle the racism and the random banter, and quite frankly, the reputation ]TAR[ has is shit.

Thank you Harrison, I will frequent the server every now and then to see how it's shaped up.

Once you guys get up a two channel mumble channel (IE team 1 and team 2) in the PR server I will be sure to stop by and check it out.

Matter fact i would bet 100 percent of my check, whatever happened between you 2 was all your doing. Its better that the more mature players are running the server now. Some kids are mature enough to make a million dollars and run a business. Some aren't. Thats just the world. Kid this is a life lesson, i think you will mature because of it.

HARRISON1973 wrote:The reasons you left are the same reasons we were going to leave. Astral wanted us to leave so TAR would disband, he didn't want us to get better and is why he commended you on leaving. It wasn't just a compliment to you, it was another stab at TAR as a whole. I hope he can re-route his attitude towards progress instead of destruction, because that's what we did.

I hope you come back someday because, honestly, we could use your help. It was you, Dragunover, Drunkenup, and a few others we would like to have seen become officers. The changes we have made, so far, are profound, to say the least, but we need more level headed and mature individuals like yourself for input. Ownership of the clan is held by all members. Everyone will have a say in the way the clan is run and managed, members and officers alike, and the way it is set up, no one is above the rules and can be removed, especially officers.

We have set forth new Codes of Conduct for members and an extra set for officers to keep the level of professionalism high and also made a set of rules for admining the servers, which should have been done long ago. The server rules have changed little but need to be re-vised and some things added in or changed, this is an ongoing work in progress until completed.

We hope to see you soon, if not as a member, as a trusted friend.

=RRF=Rebiv4 wrote:Whatever you say boss. I had written some pretty angry responses last night but I thought it over and removed them. Comparing Coeman to me, a completely different person, is of no relevance. It's true that I didn't like him 2 years ago but I don't really care about the issues of the past. We have a clan and server that we love, and I do my best to help run them. If you don't like me or the way I ran things in the past before the changes (which have been nothing but positive), that's your prerogative, but don't insult me in a public place when you've been treated with nothing but respect by myself and people in our community.

markdh1 wrote:Wow! Just sorting through most of the posts here it is very apparent that there are some who are unable to separate principles from personalities, who are unable to let bygones be bygones & move on. Most of the complaints here seem to echo some form of "vengeful retribution" for a few bad experiences on a PR server.

To judge a clan or it's server for that matter based upon a solitude bad or less than ideal gaming experience is pretty shortsighted not to mention childish & melodramatic.

The guys at ]TAR[ including Rebiv, Viktor, & Harrison get nothing but hats off & thumbs up from me as they all are doing a great job of not only providing but improving a great US based PR server that caters to "mature" & "fair" game play. Keep up the great work ]TAR[.
