User blog comment:Lord Marshal Samuel Harrington/Samuel, Chaos, and the East India Trading Company/@comment-4713152-20111023054832

First, I'd like to say you DON'T have the majority on your side. Sure, maybe you have a lot more people, but on our side, we have not only all of your HCOs, but then some. East India Empire has increased to 60 members now, and we are growing by the hour. That's more you ever had in three months of Beckett's Elites. Now, I know you have hundreds in Co. Black Guard, but (A) how many of them are actually active, and (B) how many of them are above level ten with unlimited access? When you narrow it down to that, its not much. At all.

Second, as I stated to above, you lost all of your HCOs except Goldtimbers (who is insane). To name a few of your MOST LOYAL MEN that you lost: myself, Johnny Coaleaston, Cad Bane, Lord Mallace, Maxamillion, Eric Machawk, Ben Scurvyfoote, Sven Daggersteel, and many more. All in my guild now. Many of those people have already told me they don't have faith in you, and will never accept you back as leader. So if you DO come back as leader, then many people who are loyal followers of me now, will be gone, and that's definitely gonna hurt the EITC. So who do you have? Goldtimbers? He's insane and doesn't take his job seriously. Brawlmartin? The guy who can't keep his mouth shut and annoys the living heck out of me. Face it, Samuel, you've lost all of your REAL followers now.

Finally, the most important fact, John made me Lord Governor. Since he did, the EITC is already better than what you ever made it, even though we've been bombarded with continuing chaos from you, Goldtimbers, and Pears. Today, Pears declared war on us, we accepted, and already won the first battle, right off the bat. Face it, when you were in charge, things were chaos all the way through. With me as leader, in due time, the EITC will become far more organized, more powerful, stronger, and not try to rebel against our home nation as you did (by the way the only reason I supported you was to earn your trust, which ultimately I did)... Not to mention, I will give power to the other lords, not just hog it all to myself, come online once every few days, tp to somebody, and go afk for hours. Is that what a great leader really does???

Bottom line, Samuel, I highly doubt you'll get your job back, when John sees how I'm doing thus far. And if by chance you do get your job back, you would be losing an IMMENSE chunk of the EITC.
