Subject: PLSH: RESPECT FIRST As President of the United States, I stand before you to explain what happened to PLSH this week, what I am doing about it, and how we move forward. This is not about one person. It is about the core team that built PLSH, the members who were pushed out, and the standard every alliance on 395 should hold itself to. What Happened On November 4, I was at work. My game was logged in, so I showed as online, but I was not at the screen. DAVYM206 asked for R4. Four minutes later he left the alliance, and while he was gone he attacked my base. When he came back, I gave him R4 in good faith to calm things down. Within 15 minutes, without a word to me or the R4 team, he: let Ediva back in, the member I had removed that morning brought in ChillinVamp removed Chaptu, the founder of PLSH That evening he also accepted Officer Shock, the player the alliances of 395 agreed to ban on October 29. I told him Sun would leave if these changes went ahead. Sun ran PLSH's back end: rank tracking, Canyon Clash, city paths, Glory War picks and our relationships with your alliances. She left that afternoon. Within hours, Kappasugi, Zee88, Caílynn, Frollein Anne, Le-with-1E and Blůe were gone too. Fighters and longtime members. By DAVYM206's own count, PLSH lost about 1 billion power in one day. Chaptu Chaptu built PLSH. He gave me the opportunity to serve. His seat was being held for his return, and he earned the right to keep it. Removing him in the middle of chaos was a serious disrespect, to him and to everyone who followed him. The Decision As R5 of PLSH, I have: Removed DAVYM206 from PLSH. Restored the R4 team as it was before November 4. Invited Chaptu back. His seat is his whenever he returns. This is not about power, and it is not about money. It is about respect. No player, no matter how strong, overrides an alliance's leadership, removes its founder, and pushes out its core team in an afternoon. Tough Love To DAVYM206: you have done a lot for PLSH and for 395. Many members are here because of you, and no one forgets that. But strength does not give anyone the right to take over an alliance they did not build. This door is not closed forever. It reopens when there is an honest conversation with me and the R4 team, an acknowledgment of what happened, and a commitment to work through leadership, not around it. To Rambro50 and Ediva: the same standard applies. Disagreements belong in private, with leadership, and not in alliance chat or behind anyone's back. To everyone in PLSH: we let ourselves drift. We got hungry to stay on top at any cost, and we stopped acting like a team. Being the strongest means nothing if we are not coordinated, and when every week is win or the end of the world, people burn out. That ends now. To everyone who left PLSH this week: the door is open, and your place is still here. Moving Forward From today, PLSH runs on a few simple rules: Membership and rank changes go through the R5 and the R4 team. No exceptions. Problems are raised in private with leadership, not fought out in alliance chat. Respect the people who do the work, even when you disagree with them. Anyone who can live by these is welcome in PLSH, including the people involved this week. To Every Alliance This is a PLSH decision, not a state rule, and I am not asking anyone to take sides. I ask every R5 on 395 for one thing: respect each alliance's decisions about its own members, the way PLSH has always respected yours. Bridges are not burned. They are under repair. Thank you for your attention to this matter. -Imwrong
