I don't know what the trend is in this game, I never saw something like this in 11. But anyways, the trend goes like this:

1. Player A tells the leader "Player B and C aren't up to my standards, you need to kick them or I leave" Leader refuses, and Player A leaves. Again to find a new member...
2. Player Y decides to commit to the new static, before next event day comes, he tells the leader "Sorry I can't make it due to getting a new job/excuses that seem legit" and then you find them the next day... online and doing coil with PF groups... at the times they said they would be at work. Again to find new member...
3. Player F decides to join the static A and is all yay and stuff, being all sociable to them right. Then the next say she's like "Oh sorry, I heard you guys are having problems with this Turn etc etc, I'm going to have to join static B sorry". Said static ditches her in the end, then she comes back to static A asking for a spot and apologizing and leader is like "Nope". At this point I believed in karma. Again to find new member...

In the end, Static A managed to take down those turns that couldn't at first because it obviously takes time (duh?) and is on Turn 8 now. If people hadn't bailed so much static A would've been farther than that, but people are impatient, greedy and selfish. I can understand personal, real life issues, but when you use them to lie about it then that's not nice.

All this based on a true story. :P

I think the way coil is designed brings out the worst in people... it's kinda scary, actually. >_> I don't remember having this kind of stuff in 11, statics there only drama was ninja-lotting or fighting over items, but at least you didn't have to find a new person every 2 days. XD And people actually committed, even if they were kinda jerks. I guess it was because reputation in each server was worth a damn unlike here...
