Good evening everyone!
I would like to take some time to discuss The Echo Knights' position on joining the Round Table Alliance as proposed by The Knights of the Blood <Oath>. To explain, we were approached with a proposition to join other known Roleplaying Free Companies on Gilgamesh in a Linkshell comprised of Free Company leadership. Initially, we thought this would be an open platform for every Roleplaying Free Company to join for the purpose of freely exchanging ideas and cross-FC storylines. It has been clarified that the Alliance will only be accepting Free Companies large enough or have shown significant contribution to warrant membership, with approval from the already existing members once the Alliance has been officially established.
We feel that the exclusivity of the Alliance will stifle growth as a Roleplaying community on Gilgamesh because we believe this will cause a division between Alliance and non-Alliance members, and smaller or budding Free Companies will be unable to voice their concerns properly to the community as a whole. As such, we cannot in good conscience be a part of this. The Echo Knights will be withdrawing its membership from the Alliance for the time being unless it is created on a foundation that we can agree to. We are firm in our resolution to promote an environment that is open and welcoming to every Free Company, regardless of size or community contribution, and every Roleplayer, regardless of Free Company affiliation.
We sincerely apologize for any misunderstandings this may have caused, and thank you for your continued support.
