And this is not the first time it's happened. Back in the dark ages, alliances routinely felt the need to maintain their own IRC networks, isolating their communities from the shared space of NetGamers, but eventually alliances recognized the ease of just using a network that was just... there*. Until Slack/WhatsApp/Telegram/pigeons came around, anyway.

So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey.
