[21:22] <blondiey> ey, gz
    [21:23] <aatje> ty i guess
    [21:23] <aatje> didnt play well again tho
    [21:23] <blondiey> we peaked too early
    [21:23] <aatje> i peaked only a few rounds
    [21:23] <aatje> too inconsistent
    [21:24] <blondiey> yeah
    [21:24] <blondiey> i don't want to be subtle about this, this conversation is a recruiting pitch, but it's a weird one
    [21:25] <blondiey> quantic & i are dismantling ks so that we can rebuild it
    [21:25] <blondiey> we made a mistake when we let liz back in after she left to join rd
    [21:25] <blondiey> at that point, we said, in effect, "all we care about is winning"
    [21:26] <blondiey> and started accepted the wrong people
    [21:26] <aatje> lol
    [21:26] <aatje> you made a mistake the very second you let liz in the first time
    [21:26] <blondiey> i mean, probably
    [21:27] <blondiey> the reason we want you is not b/c you're good
    [21:27] <blondiey> everyone wants you b/c you're good
    [21:27] <blondiey> we want to make a team that just has 6 people who like each other and like playing fort together occasionally
    [21:28] <blondiey> we'll win sometimes and we'll lose sometimes
    [21:28] <blondiey> once we have 6, we won't recruit or have any applicants
    [21:28] <blondiey> we'll barely have forums
    [21:28] <blondiey> i know you're better than me, and I understand why
    [21:28] <blondiey> that's why i want to play with you
    [21:29] <aatje> why?
    [21:29] <blondiey> because teammates should understand how each other think
    [21:29] <blondiey> and i understand why ct is tight
    [21:29] <blondiey> and i respect that
    [21:29] <blondiey> i was thinking of applying myself, because i do think you all have a decent understanding of each other
    [21:29] <aatje> first of all
    [21:29] <blondiey> in the core group
    [21:30] <blondiey> yeah, sry go
    [21:30] <aatje> this idea sounds better than that what ks was
    [21:30] <aatje> and second
    [21:30] <aatje> i'm almost 5 years in ct
    [21:30] <aatje> we're tight
    [21:30] <aatje> i'm not gonna throw it away over something unstable
    [21:30] <blondiey> yeah
    [21:31] <aatje> but the best idea indeed as you said
    [21:31] <aatje> have around 6-8 players
    [21:31] <aatje> who all like each other
    [21:31] <aatje> can get along
    [21:31] <aatje> and are good
    [21:32] <blondiey> yeah
    [21:32] <aatje> but the thing i like about ct
    [21:33] <aatje> which also is the reason why i'm saying no to this
    [21:33] <aatje> we don't have players who will suddenly leave
    [21:33] <aatje> we don't have players who will eventually cause drama
    [21:33] <blondiey> neither do we
    [21:33] <aatje> on the contrary
    [21:34] <aatje> im gonna be honest here, and i dont even know everything of it
    [21:34] <aatje> but why did you leave so suddenly?
    [21:34] <aatje> you founded this clan
    [21:34] <aatje> then comes liz
    [21:34] <aatje> you always know she's so unstable
    [21:34] <aatje> gaz the same
    [21:34] <aatje> they will switch clans like its no thing
    [21:34] <blondiey> well i'll answer the second part first
    [21:35] <blondiey> we chased winning
    [21:35] <blondiey> our first two recruits were 3b & delic
    [21:35] <blondiey> and those are players quantic & I are going to continue playing with
    [21:35] <aatje> i was about to say
    [21:35] <blondiey> but we chased winning
    [21:35] <aatje> those players u can count on
    [21:35] <blondiey> exactly
    [21:35] <aatje> yea ok
    [21:35] <blondiey> the first part
    [21:35] <aatje> i understand
    [21:36] <blondiey> quantic & i need to strip away everyone we don't want
    [21:36] <blondiey> so we're trying to tear down the house
    [21:36] <aatje> under same name or something new?
    [21:36] <blondiey> people like gaz & vogue won't leave if they think ks is their best chance of winning
    [21:37] <blondiey> quantic prefers to keep the same name, but we're not set on that
    [21:37] <blondiey> so we had to start the destruction ourselves
    [21:37] <blondiey> vogue and gaz have already left, and 3b & delic are ready to "leave" whenever the moment's right
    [21:37] <blondiey> i know it's a weird way of doing it
    [21:38] <blondiey> we're trying to regain the clan we had in the fall
    [21:38] <blondiey> and we can't just kick people
    [21:38] <blondiey> but i understand it's a mess
    [21:38] <aatje> it is
    [21:38] <blondiey> it's just deliberate
    [21:39] <aatje> i wish you good luck with it
    [21:39] <aatje> but im staying
    [21:39] <blondiey> k
    [21:42] <aatje> but what youre saying is you left so that gaz and vogue etc would leave too?
    [21:42] <aatje> why not just kick them
    [21:43] <blondiey> we're a democracy so we can't really do that
    [21:43] <blondiey> and it turns it into a whole thing
    [21:44] <blondiey> we also want to get rid of sine, ogo
    [21:44] <aatje> why
    [21:44] <blondiey> none of us really like playing with them
    [21:44] <blondiey> us being me, 3b, quantic, delic
    [21:44] <blondiey> we're still thinking about mr
    [21:45] <aatje> sine hmm
    [21:45] <aatje> he doesnt really play
    [21:45] <aatje> but ogo is pretty solid no?
    [21:45] <aatje> i'd put him in the same category as 3b etc
    [21:45] <blondiey> he talks a big game
    [21:45] <blondiey> and the alias thing
    [21:45] <blondiey> he makes me nervous
    [21:46] <aatje> alias thing was kinda weird yea
    [21:46] <aatje> other then that i dont see why not
    [21:46] <aatje> and what about vein and mr?
    [21:47] <blondiey> well quantic & i go back and forth on them
    [21:47] <blondiey> vein none of us really know
    [21:47] <blondiey> mr i like
    [21:48] <blondiey> mr is definitely being strongly considered
    [21:48] <blondiey> idk if he's interested though
    [21:48] <blondiey> you were 5th on our list after ourselves
    [21:53] <blondiey> so before we talked to more people it made sense to talk to you
    [21:53] <aatje> yea well
    [21:54] <aatje> with you, quantic, 3b, delic, mr, vein and ogo u have 7 good and friendly people
    [21:54] <aatje> if one cant make it u have an extra
    [21:54] <aatje> seems fine to be
    [21:54] <aatje> to me
