Still no word from CoT
It has become clear that several clan factions are not supporting CoT, who has still not spoken up about the Dust to Dust. If the clans are truly this disorganized, it could mean that negotiations between the CoT and OT is of no value.
At a before-diaster meeting, where several factions were invited, the seriousness of the situation became more and more clear.
The prominent people were among others : Pomka, Subcore from Heirs of Russians, Darkmenace, Random23 from 3305 Local, Spinzer and Chartan from Omni Emune, Sunraven, Rarius from Ragnarok Incorporation, Rederon from Knight of Sacrifice, Jamespond, Arila, Gulbaek2 and Batla from The Nordic Conspiracy.
The meeting started out well, with order and respect, but soon developed with clan people leaving in protest. The purpose of the meeting was to maybe find a last solution to the Dust to Dust problem. No news was received by the CoT and not everybody understood why a direct denouncement of Dust to Dust is necessary.
First speaker Spinzer pointed out that some clan people might know of some local ICC personnel that could get the ball rolling. Rederon commented that he had already contacted a local ICC for this purpose and again sharply pointed out that CoT did not represent many clans. One can wonder why he choose to become clan then and not neutral. The discussion turned a corner with discussion of who could be behind the Dust to Dust and Arila mentioned that it couldn’t be Redruum, he was too dumb for such and was merely a puppet if anything. Rederon agreed on this. Chartan tried to explain what the conflict was all about (the resources of the planet), but when it became clear for Rederon that this meant he was a criminal, Rederon left the meeting in protest. Rarius tried to use diplomacy and suggested : What if enough clan guilds signed an official site-message, that they did not in any way support the Dust to Dust. Chartan replied that he could not promise that would be enough for everyone, but that it would not hurt to try. This was the last of the meeting. You could almost feel the sad kind of distrustful and worrying feeling among most present when they left the secret meeting room.
Aftermath: When I came out from the meeting, Arila was laying on the ground, seemingly shot down by an unknown clanner. Is the war coming?
