(My first attempt at any kind of news report)
Late last night Nerdherd withdrew from The Jagged Alliance following disagreements with the Alliance CEO Pathetiq. They are the fourth corporation to leave the alliance in just 8 days.
Shade, Aeternix and Zombicidal Mania left on 12th March, discussions had started internally and privately about leaving, as they werenĘt happy under the leadership, but Pathetiq somehow got word of this and laid down an ultimatum, telling them they had one hour to decide whether to stay or go.
Given the ultimatum, the decision was made rapidly and was punctuated by the three corps tackling and killing an alliance Chimera.
Conversations ensued with Pathetiq and Abinadi9, (Alliance Diplomat and CEO of NerdHerd) about the situation and how to move forward, during which Pathetiq showed his true colours, claiming all achievements of the alliance were purely down to him, and how he had to spend most of his time clearing up messes caused by his appointed officers. He also rejected any and all suggestions put forward to allow any form of creative input from other members within the alliance.
Disgusted by the attitude displayed, and the belittling of the work put in by various other members of the alliance, himself included. Abinadi9 contacted the core members of his corporation and polled them on whether they wished to stay or leave the alliance. The decision was unanimously to leave and seek greener pastures.
As of midnight eve time on 19th March, 256 members of the once 778 member alliance (32.9%) have left, with numerous others in discussion with various external corps and alliances exploring their options.
A mail went out to the alliance today suggesting all members move their assets out to low-sec, leaving only PVP ships behind, in a mass exodus from the 5Y1E-3 constellation they claimed sovereignty of over Christmas. Mutterings are that they plan to ask Red Alliance or White Noise to occupy the space for them to provide protection and solidarity as they look at what to do next, but one thing is for sure, the alliance which many have accused of being Russian pets have suddenly found themselves in a considerably weaker state and may have to start accepting the title which they have riled so hard against.
Reduced to only two supercaps, with so many of their cap-capable pilots gone or retreating to low-sec, 5Y1E-3 looks like a ripe fruit waiting to be picked by the enemy.
