TTI is known for its intellectuals. This is a place for thinkers to gather and exchange quotes, thoughts, or other topics that might not appeal to the average gamer.
ummm I read the corp history and I have to say I could really add to the Alaph Force Era section. What you have written is a massive understatment of what was going on at that time. The "not succesfull" expansion into 0.0 and then crediting Gantros is a bit harsh. Everything that Gantros had to work with was engeniered by me. Also we had a PoS before the Gantros error.
Also its not quiet true that I was forced out of the CEO ship. A vote was put forth with the majority of active pilots willing to look the other way as long as no further incedents were discovered. Unfortunatly Dough pursued the topic due to some hurt feelings he had over a WoW incident and I was getting tired of running two corps (my alt was heading up tAMI with rather good success) and so I stepped down and went looking for a PvP corp.
Gantros was placed into power by myself after I tried unsuccessfully to get Musashi to take the Helm. Gantros was placed into power as a kind of "screw you" to Dough and I never expected him to acheive much (and indeed he didn't)
You should also probably mention Raaz and his Czar of H-PA accomplishment.
I had a great time with TTi and would be willing to pass on any anecdotes I can remember if you are interested.
Lastly I would like it to be known that a private party has hired me to pod Olek if I ever get the chance. I wasn't asked to hunt him down or anything but I have been promised ISK for Kill Mails. Just thought you should know.

5 years is a long time, thanks for the kind words Alaph. Good to see that you are still in-game.
History is a difficult thing to describe, because there are so many perspectives for telling the story. It would be very good to capture your perspective of your time in TTI. Much of what is in the history right now is taken from lurking through forum threads. But reality is so much more intricate than simple forum posts can convey. Help us set the record straight.
Your post also brings up another great point. Right now the history is written along a backbone of progressive CEOs. But the body of TTI is built from the participation of many other players. Dough being a very key alumni. I for one drew heavily on his support, contacts and in-game experience. He was the guy that processed my TTI application. As much as I like Dough, I also know him to have strong opinions. As Objectivists, we consider the absence of convictions to be a harmful thing, but strong convictions can cause pain too. Aside from Dough’s perspectives on this one issue, capturing his good deeds in the history would add a great deal of mortar to the mix.
Keep your sharpened steel sword, this wooden one will be all I need!
