I got put into my very first real alliance last week. I spoke AT LENGTH with one of the two Commanders about how I am only in my first month of playing and how I am NOT a pro by any means and how I am NOT very good at PvP, since my roster isn’t good enough yet. He was all about players like me and nothing would EVER be a problem and there really were ZERO LIMITS or EXPECTATIONS, other than people play every day and try their best. This was about to be the perfect fit for me!!!
:+D
And then my phone’s screen broke on Sunday morning. Fearing that I would get kicked out of the alliance that I had just so happily joined, I skipped going to church, paid $150 to get it fixed at a cell phone hut, found out that it was MORE damaged than just the screen, and then had to go to Best Buy and buy a NEW phone. Mind you, I am on vacation for 2 weeks and home for the holidays. I did not NEED a phone. I literally did this mostly to keep on playing this game and keep in good standing with my alliance. I told the commander that I had talked to a lot about my situation and he said that they would ONLY remove someone from the group if they had not fixed their situation by the end of a season (which was like in another week’s time).
My phone situation relieved, I still placed like 15 out of the 20 members of the group for the big Hand / Daredevil / Wolvie / Elektra event…YET I JUST SAW THAT MY ALLIANCE ICON IS NOW GONE FROM MY APP.
I was afraid that I had accidentally deleted myself somehow, maybe via hitting the wrong button in the chat function, since I’ve spent this last week gleefully chatting with them non-stop. I search for them in the Join An Alliance section and I am the only person missing from the group. I hit the Join button and a window pops up that says YOU WERE REMOVED FROM THIS ALLIANCE!
Completely astonished, I log onto here to see that I have a message from the OTHER commander of the group that I have NEVER even interacted with, saying due to my low scores I was being kicked out…even though I had done BETTER than the other members who had been in the group BEFORE i joined…even though I was assured that this specific alliance WAS NOT like that…
This is the type of horror story that I wouldn’t want ANYONE ELSE to have to go through, so…yeah. Is there already a thread for these sort of warnings, or not?
Thanks for your time and God bless.
