1st time i met wsm was when i was doing the rank 5 missions with some members of my ls. he /t'd me about joining, i let him know i wasnt sure what order we would go in(he had already done one). when we all got together and put together the order, he got all upset we were going to the one he had done already first and left.
next time i met him i was making a party for rank 7, 8 or 9. he did his job right and we got everything done.
i joined his 9-1 alliance to go to temple of ugg. i was shocked at how the alliance treated him, he was one of like 5 people that actually knew what to do, but everyone still insisted on not listening to him. regardless of how you feel about someone, if you are going to join their alliance, you should give them your undivided attention. he attacked rank 10 with a determination i wish people that i know and admire would have about getting items they desire. i find that very commendable.
overall my experience doing rank missions shows me that when he is after something he either knows whats going on, or will listen well to orders and not go goofing of somewhere. whether he's an asshole anywhere else i dont know, but more people should research what they are trying to accomplish so when you join an alliance you know what to do. the alliance he ran succeeded in getting 8-2 and 9-1, although a few morons refused to pay attention and things happened.
