Big Hurt is one of the original marshals of the game. He led KoK.
He went inactive for a while and when he came back he set up Anarchy. True to his own play style, Anarchy was set up just as the name suggests to hit anyone at any time - they would fight first, think later, afraid of nothing. While this is the opposite style to "build up allies", which is what most people do, Anarchy managed to have an ongoing war with KT and still grow their map space and rank up in the game. They started fights with loads of other leagues. Was a very impressive story.
Last part is a bit hazy. I believe Big Hurt decided to leave the game, handed over marshal to Crusher. Idk what happened next, maybe he changed his mind but couldn't get marshal back but something really annoyed him because he then went and did the things mentioned in the screenshot, the worst of which was giving beacon intel to the KT, their arch enemy. Like I say something had to have gone down, as I don't see why he would backstab his own baby for no reason.
Shortly after he left Anarchy most of the large coining player went to Emps.
So there you go Sir Noobie Noobuckle Noobkins. That is all I know.
Yes, that is very close to what happened. The way I see it HB made the mistake to convince himself that "he" was the league. Whatever differences he might have had with the rest of the leadership is one thing, another is to give the beacon numbers to KT. By doing that he betrayed the trust of every single player in the league. It was a sad exit for a player that had enjoyed, up to that moment, the respect of friends and foes.
As to some players going to the Emps it had nothing to do with BH and his backstabbing. More so about the UC and ...but that would be something for another time.
