(hmm, quickly, before Lili invalidates my argument again)
Beeficus, in the future, if you are going to make a post, please refrain from bring the same old drama to this forum time and time again. If you can come up with something new and invigorating, that would be a refreshing change and something worthy of reading, but repeatedly crying about the same topics, generally pvp-related, again and again is old. Even my foray into this thread, intended to be fun, is less enjoyable and more like having to smack the animal because it peed on the floor.
You yourself admitted that you were trying to publicly force the CSRs to bend to your will by raising this drama thread. You weren't asking for clarification until after the drama explosion you were seeking, which still didn't work. In the future, if you are going to make a post, please refrain from doing this. You would also do well to remember that saying the same false thing over and over again doesn't suddenly make it true.
So certain of TI's guilt were you, yet you backed down instantly after learning a tactic they use. Maybe you can take that tactic (and other related things) and perform better at future battles. In the future, if you are going to make a post and your intent is to learn new tactics, just ask instead of trying to start drama.
Cooperation is how enjoyment of the game rises. When you don't know something, you ask and learn. You would do well to remember that there is always someone out there who knows something you do not, and to accept that maybe, just maybe, you're not number one.
You would also do well to follow your own advice, and not put words in my (or anyone else's) mouth. "In the future if you are going to respond to my posts, please read my words as they are written, not as you think they might be intended".
Perhaps you'd stop hemorrhaging guild members and officers, and perhaps other guilds would be more inclined to work with you, if you treated them like equals, and fellow players, rather than subjects to carry out your whims who dare not question your actions and decisions or suggest that you do anything differently. People don't take kindly to attempts at manipulation, such as the way you've attempted to manipulate the CSRs and other posters in this thread. People also like to think that their questions, comments, and concerns are listened to, instead of ignored.
Now, all that aside, you know what TI wants? They may not tell you this, but from the time that I spend around them and talking with them, they want fun and exciting battles. Do you know the two battles I've heard them nerdgasming over the most? The loss at Ginti and when you guys pushed Loria to a defense. Your initial push at Loria was awesome, but then you fell apart.
People who PvP because they enjoy it like to win, sure, but more important is the battle itself, regardless of who wins or loses. A loss in a well-fought game is far more enjoyable than curb-stomping your opponent. It wouldn't surprise me if Yaka told you what he did because he wanted you guys to try to improve a little bit, to make it a little more exciting for everyone. (Some people like the added challenge of controlling multiple characters, and the extra rush it causes, and some don't)
It's a game, it's meant to be something fun and enjoyable. It's not a job, it's not something that will raise or lower oil prices around the world. It's not something you get your knickers in a bunch over. Lose the sense of entitlement, lose the "uptightness", and play the game as a game, something you win sometimes and something you lose sometimes, but the overall goal is to just have fun.
