Our Response to the Recent Allegations

 

Against the community?
I request you tell me the last time we have sent Nazi propaganda and genocidal images in your chat. On the other hand, here’s a picture taking from the ACP chat

 

As for the defacement of the CPPS, I think it’s time I finally give a proper statement. Your claims of the troop stealing was false, the CPPS would hire members from armies as staff and make them focus on the CPPS instead of the army. The owner of the CPPS even admitted to this. He admitted to this but this was not added into the post which was written by ACP’s Rocket. Not to mention, the CPG server was not safe nor professionally made. Everyone had access to the staff channels, we could type in announcements, there was no verification, etc. To prove this, one day after the defacement there was an attempted IP grab against myself, another templars leader and the owner of the game. It is most likely we were chosen because we were the last people to speak in chat. Not to mention, we weren’t given the chance to apologise until confronted by the NDA because I was not interviewed for the post. The post was extremely one sided and only interviewed the owner of the game, no templar member was interviewed. Note: We are not blaming Robot for this as it seems to have been an honest mistake, after all it’s not the first time an article only gave one side.

Bullying the S/M community?
I think you forget that I was approached by CG asking if I wanted to continue the treaty from CPAM and I accepted out of good will. Also do you forget we’re a S/M army too? Perhaps I would understand if we were a major army invading S/M armies, but we are not. Personally, I find it quite unfair that you’re invading an S/M army as a major army (which is what you seem to be accusing us of doing). Not to mention, you did not request us asking to clean up our chat – instead you just declared war instantaneously. If you have any concerns about the state of our chat or actions, please DM me (Freedomist and ccrocket) directly.

Racism and Homophobia?
Racism and Homophobia? Well lets start off with racism. The word in question is one that is only meant to be used and reclaimed by African American individuals, and you cannot simply assume everyone is white. Not to mention most of these are jokes (however ill-concieved) and were not intentionally derogatory in their use. Templars are in fact NOT racist, multiple HCOM members, myself included, have donated to BLM charities too. As for homophobia, we are not homophobic either. We also have a lot of LGBT+ staff, including leaders and HCOM. You do not mention how many times Silmy has been muted and banned for his actions. Not to mention, we did not endorse what these people are saying.

Not to mention we’ve limited these ‘homophobic slurs’ in our chat too. Most of these images are outdated and go back to July. One even dates back to a server that was defaced! We have cleaned up chat since then which is proven by all the screenshots being outdated. Finally, Venom and Cobra are not part of our army, they are merely visitors. You also mention Cobra calling himself an ‘epic troll’ and then say that we think our actions are ok because we hide behind being an ‘epic troll’. This is not the case, that’s just what Cobra, an advisor who doesn’t represent the army, called himself. Also, you missed out something crucial in the post you mentioned.
