I for one would love to weigh in my opinion on the current state of COBRA.
First of all, going back in time we were THE SHIT. The Joes couldn't beat us and they knew they were out coached. (That's when PYRO, ROB & Money ran the show). I was fortunate to share leadership with ROB and with Money on the tail end of these glory days. I believe our longest streak was something like 12 straight victories. The games were long and greuling but we owned the Joes aka "CLOWNS" and we made them cry & complain about us on a daily basis (and we loved it).
Those who wore the Blue & Red were true & loyal. (this was up till almost a year ago). PYRO, ROB & Money began the JOE UNIVERSE webpage and moved on to do a game there. So some of us were doing both to support our fellow snakes. I took on more of a leadership role.
The game went into this "Game has to expand" mode and recruited everyone we could. The only criteria was be on the boards for more than 30 days basically. This led to a whole bunch of different characters with differing agendas. Rob was now running the game in place of PYRO due to some change in the JU team setup.
With all these newbies, we had some who wanted to create drama, flame the other board and not follow the rules which led to fines, bans, feuds with the clowns, and eventually led to a schism within the COBRA ranks. Some of these rebel-rousers moved into leadership after I stepped down and before you know it the next leader's lack of experience caused him to "FIRE" about 5-7 the most loyal COBRA's because he was jealous of their also sharing time on JU. (Which did not hamper their posting on HT at all). I was one of those. That didn't last long as VQ stepped in to save the day and restore order in his PINK galaxy.
With all the drama, some grew tired and stopped playing. Rob went on to form another webpage. Then those who had issue with duel roles went on to have duel roles on that page... (yawn... sorry).
Anyway, I came up with this GREAT idea to form a 3rd team. I asked VQ if we could form a "DREADNOK" army since I was not enjoying the COBRA leadership and the decisions they were making.
We all eventually "made nice" and kept COBRA together. However, it didn't last long and some Snakes decided the 3rd team idea was worthy. Now we have essentually two Cobra teams with the Iron Grenadiers.
I am not playing at this time because I just lost interest. The game has changed far beyond what it was supposed to be. Just a fun get away where you can go in once a day and make a move to impact a game to see if your team wins. That was it. It was tactful yet simple. Separating COBRA was a poor idea. Sorry I ever put those wheels into motion.
Now we have what we got.
I think if the game were to go forward and have fun participation it just needs to pull back together. The drama that created the need for the 3rd team just needs to not be tollerated. We are all adults and should be expected to play like so.
I agree with the lack of posting. I used to post pop-culture pics and spam our own thread with the likes of everything from beautiful ladies, muppet babies, goonies, admiral akbar pics... you name it. We had fun, we were on the top of the boards and we loved it. The fun had left the simplicity has left and the loyal teammates who bled blue & red were pushed away.
Let's bring that back. Then you'll have leaders who want to step up.
I applaud NIGHTVIPER143 for all his hard work in trying to resurrect this great team.
Other long-time loyal teammates who would be a true benefit to have back include (but not limited to
Batman, Rader, DustyCarlisle, Lody,
