Over the past few days, another round of PCP clan drama went down, and again the site got some entertainment for a few hours. This space is not meant to fan the flames any further, but rather just allow me to give my perspective on the whole situation.
I will start by saying that I joined this site because of PCP, and for the most part, enjoyed the year that I was with the clan. There were some really fun moments, most of which I will remember for a long while. Who will ever forget Bunny vs The Mouse? If you weren't there, ask Bunny about it some time, it was hilarious.
When I left PCP, there was some bad blood between certain staff members over there and ARXV members. I will say that I am not a saint, and did have some heated discussions with certain individuals, but would like to think I kept it civil. I also did not try to leave on a bad note. I left a good bye post thanking the members for the good times and removed myself from the clan, so my experience does differ from others.
Several PCP members were removed for violation of the PCP code of conduct a few months back and chose to voice their opinion on the situation through blogs. The same PCP staff members saw this on an attack on the clan and words were shared publicly. This situation arose again just this week, and honestly, while it does give us something to talk about, it does get old. It seems to boil down to ex-members not liking the way PCP staff runs their shop, and PCP staff not liking criticism about it. The way this is dealt with is to just simply push the blog of the bar by posting mostly random blogs until it is gone. While many may see this as a form of damage control, it just makes the situation worse. Others saw this tactic for what it is and called them on it, so the fire gets stoked once again.
The thing is, that most of the drama this time seems to be caused by PCP themselves. The blogs about all the haters and what they can do to themselves, just fan the flames. For all the talk of not caring what people think, the opposite sure seems to show. Crawfish’s original blog to the best of my recollection, really didn’t contain anything particularly inflammatory, just an opinion on how his experience with the clan changed. Should he have went to a PCP OL to discuss? Probably, but what’s done is done. The bottom line is that members are entitled to their opinions and should be able to voice them, and regardless of what is said, it will not hurt PCP any and they will continue to grow.
I still respect a lot of the guys over there and would still game with most of them. This was not meant as an attack on anybody, just the way I saw things personally. I am aware that this may receive negative comments and responses, and honestly they are entitled to them. Now let’s get back to gaming.
