I have a lot of respect for you and Marlee, i hope you will keep the copy of the email i sent to Travis Apple
tonight secret between the two of you, i may not be here much longer, i have tried to keep GT fair, made a few enimies along
the way, a few friends i hope too, but i may be fired for what i am demanding from Travis, if this happens, at least the truth
may have a chance of getting out, that i was not the one that was corrupting the game, and Travis Apple was and still is,
here is the email, keep it safe, should i get fired for sticking up for all the players in the game thjen release it to all
if you wish, but give a week, to see if i do get fired, if i dont get fired , delete it ok :- I have always respected
your decision as the creator and owner of the game, but recently i have had many occasions where i have had to wonder to myself,
" what the hell is going on ", the game in recent months has become a farce, players break the CoC, it is enforced, then they
see players unbanned for no reason valid reason, the argument that the players or players can always get in and cause more
trouble holds no water, WST caused a lot of trouble, their accounts were deleted, their clan was deleted, there was a lot
of trouble in the months that passed, but after a time it went away and today most of the former members of WST have left
and those that have stayed have to the most have been better behaved, most players in GT that knew of WST and that were not
in it, give those players a hard time, so actually it worked out well, GT survived, and the problem was dealt with in a correct
manner, GUNLOCK was a member of WST and he did continue to cause problems, he was dealt with severly. all his account were
banned and then deleted, he got the message, he now plays occassionally but rarely ever causes a problem, Trey is now at that
point, players in GT think the CoC is a joke, and what is worse, they have a right to say that, players post pornograghic
material and get banned, Trey posts pornographic material that is not only explicitly pornographic but also extreamly disgusting
to look at from what ever level you look at it, he is banned and then unbanned, this makes the CoC a joke, he regulary posts
personal imformation about other players, he is banned like everyone esle, but again he is unbanned, he was a GT Admin, the
so called " most trusted of GT players circle ", he broke that trust by posting the identities of all the other GT Admins,
deleting posts that he did not personally like in the public forums and private clan forums, this is seriously enough reason
to throw him to the wolves and let the GT community rip him apart as most seem to want to do this, yes i agree that controversy
is a part of the game and keeps it going, but this controversy has gone to far in this instance, it is now a out of control
train that the GT Admin staff or you can any longer control, the only hope is to clamp down hard and fast and put things right
now, players pay money into the game have a right to a fair and just game, the game as it stands is corrupt and out of control
due mainly to one player, yes Trey pays a lot of money into the game, but i am sure if you did the math, all the money he
has payed and may pay into the game is not even close to the amount of money other players as a whole have payed into GT,
and i have noticed that more and more players are refraining from renewing their paid membership in recents moths because
they feel ripped off, they see no reason to pay for a game that looks corrupt from the highest level, when you asked me to
do this job, you told me the CoC would always be upheld, that is was a Code of Conduct that applied to all, that appears not
to be the case now, i have always treated players equally, even my friends on the game, they broke the CoC the got warned
and if it came to it, banned too, i have held out no favoritism to any player, this was the attitude that may of got the account
Kim Terry hated by many but respected by even a greater number because at the end of the day , they knew it was a fair and
just decision that showed no favoritism to any player, meaning every player knew that when it came to the bottom line, they
would be treated as equyal to every other player in the game, recently a lot of players have been asking why Kim Terry is
allowing this corruption to go on when the account has always up held that all are equal, many are relising now that kim terry
account is not the one unbanning players early and that the so called Chief GT Admin is nothing more than a puppet on a string
that is being controlled by Trey or so it seems to the GT community, you once told me the community is a vital part of the
game, and in fact i think you called it the heart of the game and that is was the most important factor of the game, if that
is the case then, we have a duty to all those that pay membership fee's and clan fee's to uphold the CoC, that means, if it
has to be done and we have to put up a few months of hassle then we have to as part of our role in the community, yes what
i am saying is that, no matter how much money Trey puts into the game, this should not give him any special rights, if it
does then the game has a very serious flaw and needs to be ended or put right, Trey is a player at the end of the day, nothing
more and nothing less, treat him as a equal, ban the trouble some playerm delete his accounts, deal with the hassle for a
few months, he will get bofred and go away eventually like they all do, yes i know you went down this road before with him
, he did say that at one point he was about to give up and forget about the game, but you allowed him back, this time you
need to follow it through, if you dont , then i feel the game will decline to a point where the only regular money it will
generate will be from trey and that willl a lot less than all the moeny it could raise from renewed and new membership and
clan fee's, the question left to answear as i see it is, do we want GT to become a thing of the past, as it stands it is heading
that way, due to the lack of respect shown to present paid membership players and clans, and the total disregard for the CoC
from the GT staff, or so it appears to the majority of the GT community
