I woke up very early in the morning (around 3AM my time) to attend and watch the third day of the Bitter Thorns Master Tournament only to be greeted with bad news, hate and accusations. I will not go into the details of what happened since it’s not related to the tournament.

Scotland and Ireland Closed

After reading the letter, I can understand why they were closed but I guess for some the decision won’t be that easy to understand. The points mentioned in the Open Letter are:

• sims within RPG Empire should have good RP between each other
• tiers were not renewed
