Two perspectives. "I was in syndicate, we had protection, it was great and we were invincible." and "We got wiped by Syndicate and stopped playing."
For what it's worth, I don't even blame The Syndicate itself. There's always going to be a group like it, even if nobody from the group ever plays again. I think the problem is that such subjugation is even possible, not 'that you guys are just dicks.'
The claim that nobody got scorched earth'd without provocation is laughable, tho. If Staines can claim that, he clearly had no bearing/knowledge of all of the group member's actions. I never took a hostile action against people, especially not the syndicate, and got wiped all the same. I talk about this game to people all the time, but any time they ask if they should play it/we should play as a group, I tell them no, and that's definitely why.
