As has become ritual before every major SC update, org drama levels have never been higher! This week we would like to feature an org called Elysium.
So a few months back some of our members invited over to org called Elysium (ESTE). Naturally a few weeks later they all received the following message :)
So who are these guys? This was the first time we have heard of them and apparently we are apparently rivals! Oh noes, looks like we will have to prepare against this serious threat!
Then this message popped up today from the same guy who was messaging TESTes before...

Asking a bit around and from information so easily gained from our TEST members who were invited over promises of better beer (absolutely lies TEST does not water down our internet beer LIES! Fake news! Sad!). Apparently what transpired is as follows:
The creator ESTE, Lonespace, considered himself a bigshot and started up the org in april after recruiting officers of several other orgs. He did pretty well for himself,stealing recruiting members from other orgs and growing ESTE to 140+ members today.
Sadly, it looks like he was not very popular amongst his own members...
Looks like the final straw that caused all the leadership to resign from ESTE seems to have been the following announcement made in the TORC discord server by "Lonespace":
Leading to much confusion in the ESTE discord server...
Now the story is that a imposter created a discord account with the same name and avatar as Lonespace and then proceeded to declare war on one of ESTE's friendly rival. I couldn't independently verify this so take this how you want.
This entire drama resulted in all admirals with the exception of Lonespace resigning and quitting from ESTE org, and since then the org has been bleeding members by the hour.
Maybe, just maybe this is why it is such a terrible idea to recruit from other orgs with promises of grandeur. At best, you end up with members with little loyalty to see the org through tough times. At worst, you end up with malicious members looking to set your org up to fail :wink:
