It`s extremely sad to see the end of Distemper despite my ideals on this game, in my earlier years i fought along side and against distemper on both sides of the BC/Distemper war and since then i`ve found myself fighting with an opposed to until mid late 2006 when i started fighting CC and distemper with everything i had.
I could only dream of the day that i would see Distemper fall, but every time Activity in Distemper would waver i`d find myself going back to a more neutral stance towards them. I truly disliked Distemper with every fiber of my being, but i liked almost every person that was ever in distemper, i often found myself chatting on msn with the people i was at war with talking about nothing more than some random bs.
It really is sad to see it slip away and become a sleeper fed for Karo. I know the spirit of Distemper will still be alive with each member who considers himself a True Distemper member but it just won`t be the same without the old fed.
sadder still for those of us that can remember Distempers creation and original purpose. it`s as if one more of our relics from the past fades away and becomes mere lore and myth for us old timers to talk about. I`ve always felt that as time goes on more and more battle lines get drawn between those old players set in there way, verses the stary eyed new comers trying to bring about their own era. though i know we could never stop the progression of a new era in GC history i always felt that the longer we could hold it off the less obsolete i`d become.
This has been like another nail in that coffin, losing what has always been since it`s conception a staple and a bedrock group in GC. returning players always found comfort in the knowledge that Distemper is still around. It`s difficult to imagine an RT without Distemper.
