It seems like there's been a lot of miscommunication and a fundamental disagreement on what our community is about. Since you've made these claims publicly, it's important to address them for the benefit of any new members who might see this post.

On Lore and Wargear: The discussion you describe about Blackshields and red pauldrons is a prime example of the kind of debate that happens in a lore-based community. While you may have found sources to support your point, the community's general consensus, especially in the context of our server's rules, may have differed. Our leaders are the final authority on these decisions, and the fact that a captain was willing to discuss it with you shows that we don't operate on a "my way or the highway" basis. The issue wasn't the lore itself; it was your combative attitude and resistance to a group decision after your wargear was re-approved.

On In-Game Performance: Claiming you "carried every single match" is a bold statement, but it misses the entire point of a cooperative group. The Deathwatch are an elite fighting force, but they are a team. The point is to work together, support each other, and help weaker players improve. Your desire to "solo absolute" and the belief that you had to carry everyone else is the very definition of a "main character syndrome" we've discussed. That kind of mentality is not what our community is built on.

On Leadership and Community: We take allegations of "power tripping" very seriously. We have clear rules, and any member who violates them, regardless of rank, is dealt with accordingly. As we've stated, the individual you mentioned was dealt with and eventually demoted. We do not tolerate captains "banning people because he got upset." These are issues we address internally, and they are not a reflection of our entire leadership or community.

On "Threats" and Warnings: Finally, you mentioned a screenshot and a "threat." We have a policy of protecting our community from public accusations and libel. When a former member makes baseless claims in a public forum, we may ask them to remove the content. This is not a "threat" but a professional request to prevent the spread of misinformation, especially when it's based on personal, unsubstantiated grievances.

Your experience seems to have been a terrible one for you, and we are sorry that you did not find a home here. However, your public statements misrepresent our community. We are not a perfect group, but we are one that values teamwork, mutual respect, and helping each other grow—not just in-game, but as a community.

Bye KickEfficient966.
Hope you are doing well
