ETF Declines Apology, Suggests Whaleslaughter Deserved Zeroing Over Good Mornings

By Griff Harpoon · 2026-02-04

ETF has declined to offer any apology for Ahmet Can zeroing Whaleslaughter on his way out of the game. In fact, they've implied she deserved it. The alliance that rallied nine players over a one-soldier scout now suggests that daily good morning messages warranted total destruction. ETF leadership claims Whaleslaughter is 'stirring up drama' by mentioning that her city was burned to the ground. Apparently asking 'why is Ahmet still in ETF' after being zeroed counts as drama now. So does reporting it. The logic is airtight: she said good morning too often, got zeroed for it, and pointing out that this seems disproportionate makes her the problem. When your defense is 'she deserved it' without explaining what 'it' was for, you've already lost the argument. But ETF has never let logic get in the way of a good blame-shift. —Griff Harpoon, actually reporting.
