I was the one who announced the end of UCA. It was my idea to do that.

We took that as a suggestion, and liked it. It did seem odd to us that you presented it like a declaration. We took the heat for it, I'll point out. I think that was the point at which we started wondering if you were still thinking of yourself as an admin and/or planning to come back at the end. We probably should've sorted that out then, but I think we were both hoping that we could let it be without...exactly this happening. I'll admit fault there- that's always been a flaw of mine. I'd rather stick my head in the sand and hope things work out when it's usually better to go ahead and have an unpleasant conversation before it gets worse.

I just feel like the length of time we have remaining negates this problem. Making this "him or us" is mad. Like, totally mad. 10 weeks left. Are you telling me you'd be unable to co-exist with me for 10 weeks? Am I so overbearing, and if so, however did this place survive - thrive - under my tyrannical, impossible-to-work-with booking for so long?

I can, but like I said, I think it'd be better for you, for me, and for the UCA for me to get out of your way if you get the book back. I don't really feel like putting in the work of GMing if I don't get much say in the direction, and I can guarantee you that I'd just settle back into a sidekick role because that's just how our dynamic works- you have bigger plans and the stronger personality. Worst case, we have another blowup like we did over the tag titles before you left, which is one of the closest times this project came to dying. I don't think I would bring enough to a theoretical XIII/Tom team to justify keeping me on, unless you're particularly in need of somebody to take a show a week off your back. (In which case I am guessing Apollo or Strife or somebody could also fill that role just as well?)

look me in the eye and tell me Epopmania 3 (the last one before I arrived) was better than any of the ones I booked.

I am not challenging you on booking ability, but look me in the eye and tell me you've never cheated, rigged, rallied, or politicked to get your way. It goes back to the discussion we were having when you left. You have flashier presentation and better stories, and I (and eaed) give the participants more agency. I can't contest that you're the better booker, but I think there are some people out there that'd rather be under us anyway, if you set aside the question of legitimacy. How that ratio falls in current UCA, I dunno, but I don't think it's the slam dunk you think it is.

Here's the eaed/XIII Discord conversation where I handed over.

...hm.
(Man I wish I had been in the loop for this >_>)
This log is stronger evidence for you than I expected.

and we should come to a compromise that pleases both parties to some degree.

This would've been my plan if I'd seen a good compromise to be made here. I didn't see (and still don't really) a way to resolve this without somebody getting the boot. Eruption is a thing, but I don't it's worth bogging down UCA to give one of us busy work to spare our feelings. I figured the next best thing was to rip the bandaid off and go for a clean break either way.
