The fact that the two remaining leaders have something of a history of angry ranting is likely not helping our case. So, uh, my bad? Is that the term?
* Thexare shrugs.
That's not the important part, though. The rest of the message is. We're both aware that the Raiders' reputation is not the greatest. We've... well, I'll put it as bluntly as the word filter will allow, we've screwed up a few times. No, not "previous leaders", me, DT, and Kaz too. We know, and we're trying to fix it.
To that end, we're not pursuing the SRP issue or reacquiring official status for a bit. Even if we don't get the Metropolis back in-game, it will remain part of our RP as a mobile headquarters. That's not to say we're giving up; we just want to ensure sustainable in-game activity and sort out some other things first.
And if I may throw in a more specific apology of my own, to LH (especially Phate and Moriarty): Yeah, we were dicks about the whole thing. You know the one. Sorry about that.
