Okay. MANY thanks to AJ, Martijn, and Joey for helping me figure this out.
The following announcement is NOT true. Apparantly, VGP2010 IS still going on.
Then who was that Steve, you say? Why, none other than our very own Self proclaimed Retired vapourboteer who continues to enter tourtaments despite retiring: ALEX MACWILLIAMS!
See, Alex knew doing @!## like this would make most leave FRA: Like he had threanted to take others down with him in C&B3. He succeded doing so with Tony P, which is a bad loss, but we aren't going to let that ruin our fun now, will we?
Alex is slowly liking ARC more and more, and hating FRA more and more...so by spreading the rumor the VGP2010 would be cancelled, most wouldn't see a reason to stay at FRA, and Alex would convince them to go to ARC if they wanted to use vapours again. Now, don't tell me this all dosen't add up and makes the only suspect.
So, Alex got a new email, copied Steve's font, and tried to act like him...and he did A VERY good job, except for some things [the number of e's on bye, no smiley at the end of bye, the fact Steve more than likley would have known his dad would be getting a job at france BEFORE VGP2010 started, when signups opened just yesterday] And so therefore we have the only person with a reason to do this: Alex himself.
Alex, if you are going to leave, stop causing trouble and do it now, you've done more harm than help. But if you are going to STAY, then drop your weapons and stop causing problems.
