These accounts and events are being recalled from MY point of view.
Lately, I've been reading a lot about Prest and how "bad" it was. Hopefully I can clear a few things up.
First of all, let's squash these lies about stealing members. Prest never stole a single member from anywhere. Granted, a lot of the players came from other alliances doesn't constitute stealing. Any member accepted into Prest was either unhappy with where they used to be, were new, or were solo. Plain and simple facts. If our members came from your alliance, tough luck - you don't own them.. maybe next time keep them happy.
Now, Prest was a late blooming alliance that was completely behind the tech curve and still managed to pull off a high rank. We were fighting fully teched incoming with hippy/yob and if lucky enough our first tier units. The alliance started completely as a 'For the Fun' alliance, but took a turn for FTW when we started climbing the ranks. This caused us to lose 1 or 2 people who weren't on board for this style of play. Regardless of the player loss, and player gain - Prest managed to peak out at rank 3 with more land than every alliance around us (Except History of course) and IMO; We might have stayed there had Shr3k not been feeding Oxy the info they needed to take us down. Piss poor playing if you ask me. Oddly enough, every time someone was UC or on Holiday they'd get rushed..
This marked the downfall really. Once History broke up a few people went with the new one with hopes of killing Oxy and others, for fun I suppose. (I think Hero, Swat, and another if I remember correctly.) Left those in Prest in a sticky situation, especially me being so high ranked at the time - left us sitting ducks. Time and time went by, more people left or went on holiday. One morning I get a text around 4 am, so I logged on. About 5 or 6 people were leaving to join Comeuppance, and the invite was extended my way.. I took it.
This is my sincere apology to those left behind to fend for themselves, I'm sorry things went this way.
That's all I really have to say for now, comment or add below. Don't ruin my post.
