He may be old, incontinent and impotent, but his memory still serves him well. We (RB) did indeed shack up with Fury back in R2, and despite our rather slow and rocky start we ended that round near the top of the rankings (I suspect C4E and CpV were also above us, but they were largely also Legion. That's my excuse anyway, ahem). A lot of people have since whinged that RB only did well due to Fury's protection, but name-checking can only defend you from the most minor of attacks. For the rest we were on our own as much as anyone else. Even if noone else believes it, we worked hard and did well to get where we did in R2.
I've seen a lot of attempts over the years here to rewrite history involving RB (if so grand a word can be applied to a computer game), and I'm not accusing anyone in this thread of doing so, so here's a brief summary of facts from my own excellent memory that are often distorted by other people, though god knows why you'd go to the trouble:
Minako and co. buggered off from Rinoa's Eclipse early in R2, and Forest snd I took over the remnants to form RB. We later allied with Fury and Legion, and ended up in a nice spot at the round's end. At no point did ICD do any spanking of us, quite the opposite, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. That's one I used to see a lot of. R3 brought the delights of Section cheating with a bot. RB command never knew anything about this since we very foolishly let them remain a very independent wing. Incredibly stupid of us. Section had only been cheating since R3 at the earliest, and it in no way had any bearing on our R2 performance. Beyond that period I know nothing, apart from R3 ending in a bit of a whipping.
It's amazing the kind of websites you go back after years away. Cheerio now.
