This "revolution" thing has seemed to have died down a bit, but it isn't gone yet, like some people think. DDL doesn't seem to have disbanded as some people thought, because Piccolo is still alive and well (contrary to that suicide joke), and intends to continue with his actions.
For those who haven't been following, this ties in with the
"Rebels" Thread
As the topic states, I did an interview with Piccolo. It was hard, because he doesn't really trust me, but I managed to get a bit more information than what the public already knows. Now you're asking "Where's the interview?" Unfortunately, Piccolo did not give me permission to post it here, and posting it would violate privacy and copyright stuff, as well as his own wishes. But I am going to summarize it with some points.
- DDL was not original. It spun off from the clan "Trainers Galore" (TG). This happened after Piccolo and another member had problems with people in DM.
- He claims that DM is too power hungry, and he has problems with specific people in the clan, but does not have much against DM as a whole. However, since most of the people he is having problems with are in DM, he is taking this out on the whole clan.
- He says that he especially has problems with Bobby and Shadow(GPW), but does not wish for them to be out of the whole administration. He just wants them to change their ways, and be less strict and careless with banning (which I don't believe they are, but people who have had experience with bannings may think otherwise). There are also other people he has problems with, but did not specify. He does not have a problem with Fquist though.
- Although his intentions could be carried out peacefully, he wants to do it by force, probably because that is just the kind of person he is. I've tried telling him that force won't work for something like this, but I think it amuses him to use force and he is doing it more for that than to actually solve the problems.
My conclusion: Piccolo and DDL do have some reasoning, and actually have a cause. However, they have not planned it very well, because they intend on using force instead of peaceful resolution. It is my opinion that this is more for their own personal amusement than it is for solving the problem.
And also, he claims that KirbySSB started this all, but that isn't true. I knew Kirby very well, and I know that he wouldn't do something like this (he barely came on the JCF or J2O, and doesn't play JJ2 anymore). If he did, it was because Piccolo influenced him, not the other way around.
So I really hope that this has cleared up some things, and at least has given everyone a better understanding of what is going on. If the admins want to see a copy of the interview, that can probably be arranged, but I don't think it would be wise to give it to anyone else.
Another note: I am not on the side of Piccolo or DDL or other revolutionaries, and don't share any of their opinions. I just know him better than most, and thought that I should do this because he might listen to me (and I always like to help)
