Offended? Nah. I'm just a little tired of all you five type whoring onto every single thread you can find making self-important posts to boost this idea that you're The Lords of The Boards or something...

I'm also quite amused by your silly attempt at 'quietly confident superiority'....

PPL are hiding behing words, that its a memory, to often, rather to admit its just a "famous" name in the way of propaganda

We're not hiding behind anything mate. The alliance is called FE because it was led by the FE corp. The corp disbanded, the alliance continues. Why should we change the name?

ever heard that simplicity is often coolest thing?

If you think that "The Five" is the product of a genius PR scheme masterminded by godlike intellects, I think you're very much mistaken.

I reckon it went like something this:

Enslaver > Like, yeah. We're doing this alliance thing. What we gonna call ourselves, dudes?
n00b script0r > "ATUK & *****es".
Enslaver > LOL
Chowdown > LOL
Stan > Erm....why you laughing....?
Chowdown > no seriously, anyone got any ideas?
siim > OMGWTFH^XXSQUAD!!^^^&&&111eleven
n00b script0r > nah - reserved characters, mate...
Lorth > So what would we five corps call ourselves...
Stan > no really, what's wrong with "ATUK & *****es"?
Tholarim > five corps...
n00b script0r > Yep. Feck it. The Five. That'll do, now let's go make a humungo-massive blob & crash some empire nodes.
Stan > But....
n00b script0r > Shut up, Stan.

That ain't "cool simplicity" - that's plain auld "can't be arsed".

Somewhere in the bowels of this forum, there is a post written by me saying almost the same thing of FE. As a name per se, i think it is utterly bereft of creativity, but it's a name that has gained much respect over the years & serves as a reminder to all of who it was that won The Vale. Several times over. You call it hiding behind a famous name because you seem unable to resist a bit of smack. I call it paying respect to those who went before me.

I'm in the FE. I know better than you.
