I am the Founder and Owner of Dark Skyes. I founded the outfit when Planetside went gold. I informed a real life friend and co-worker, character-named SgtRok, to play the game. 6-8 months into the game, I handed off Outfit leader position to SgtRok to run administratively, while I juggled school and family life.
The conditions were given and easily understood by SgtRok, that I was the ultimate Outfit Leader of Dark Skyes, and upon my request, to hand it back to me without questions asked.
The original Dark Skyes forum website was under
www.fragwire.net , which is a domain purchased and owned by me (William Yale). I decided to resign my commission as a police officer, and deployed to Iraq for the U.S. Dept of State to train Iraqi police. Upon my return, SgtRok moved from Texas to New York to get a new job as a police officer but had to attend the police academy again. He went inactive in-game, even though his subscription was never terminated. While he was inactive, there were many administrative chores to be done such as changing the MOTD because of the teamSpeak IP address had changed so we would not have to repeat ourselves.
With a phone discussion with SgtRok, we decided to hand over the Outfit Leader to (character name)Pipelayer. Pipelayer also acknowledged that he would give OL back to me upon my request.
Both SgtRok and Pipelayer were given Interim Outfit Leader status, which is basically a steward-ship of the outfit, while I am gone. SgtRok began trying to encourage Pipelayer to move the outfit in one direction by MASS RECRUITING, and I tugged at QUALITY RECRUITING, so there was a bit of friction. I requested him to give OL back but he refused.
Around, March or April 2006, I spoke with CSR-DanB to ask what could be done to get my Outfit Leader back to me. HE replied that if it was given away, then that person CHOSE to do what he pleases, and he(CSR-DanB) did not have authorization to transfer Outfit leadership over to me.
After a few weeks, Pipelayer decided to hand me back the reign of Dark Skyes Outfit leader position.
Please understand, Outfit issues IS NOT and SHOULD NOT be intervened by CSR's, according to CSR-DanB. But, my leadership allows ALL members to have a say in the outfit direction before going forth with decisions. SgtRok took it upon himself to found VS Dark Skyes, which was not authorized by the Chain of Command, especially when we are in a TR Alliance that could resort in spying accusations. After some heated forum disagreements, I reduced SgtRok's rank to where he could not kick members out of spite (since this has happened with rogue Generals in the past), in which I have a right for outfit integrity.
Starting in May 2006, I began getting complaints from the chain of command that SgtRok (who was still a member) was sending nasty and disrespectful tells to them when they asked him to squad up and join. Being that he was a real life friend of mine, I continued to keep him in the outfit, but after 2-3 months, too many people were complaining about him. I had to ensure fairness throughout the outfit, so I kicked SgtRok, with much regret as a friend. It was the hardest thing to do since we were cops together in the past for 8 years.
SgtRok had other members of another outfit(or with alt characters) form an outfit called Dark.Skyes and began broadcasting recruiting messages under Dark Skyes instead of "Dark.Skyes" (notice the dot between the words). I sent a complaint under incident #060722-000258 to seek advice and to get the disruptive outfit to cease on July 22, 2006.
On July 24, 2006, CSR-DanB requested a squad invite and pulled me into the squad with himself, myself, and SgtRok to have a discussion about the issue at hand.
DanB demanded to outfit invite him. Out of respect, I did what he said. Then he took over as Outfit Leader. And told me to explain why I should be outfit leader of Dark Skyes instead of SgtRok. DanB said that SgtRok had never cancelled his account and had been leading, PLUS since SgtRok purchased a
www.darkskyes.net domain, he should have it. DanB stated that I had been in and out of Planetside account-wise, and I explained to him that I was in Iraq for a year and decided not to pay if I was unable to in another country that was hostile. According to CSR-DanB, his lack of response showed his concern and his bias towards SgtRok.
What CSR-DanB did was completely opposite of what he told me back in March/April 2006. Not only did he ruin his integrity with me, he also ruined the integrity of SOE. I asked to speak to his supervisor, and he said his supervisor told him to give Outfit Leader of Dark Skyes to SgtRok. This hasty decision was based off of poor investigation and poor training of CSR's. I am asking for this complaint to be forwarded to the chain of command OVER CSR-DanB's supervisor to ensure it has been reviewed properly by persons with the ability to conduct proper investigations/complaints, ESPECIALLY since I was a police officer with proper investigative training/interviewing skills.
CSR-DanB accused me of kicking SgtRok out of spite, when I thoroughly explained to him that it was done out of multiple complaints from other members. Even though I did explain the reason, it was not CSR-DanB's right to determine what is RIGHT or WRONG in ridding an outfit member for not complying with outfit rules, and thats what he did.
I request for my Outfit Leader for Dark Skyes. I am STATING that what CSR-DanB and his supervisor was wrong to get caught up with an outfit and former outfit member dispute, and they need to be accounted for it and for disrupting the normal running of the Outfit Dark Skyes
CSR-DanB made his judgment on SgtRok as OL for Dark Skyes because I did not keep my account active and pay SONY as long as SgtRok did PLUS, SgtRok had a domain he paid for under
www.darkskyes.net , but my domain that was the original Dark Skyes forum that I annually pay for (
www.fragwire.net) did not count, according to CSR-DanB.
Here is a post from SgtRok about his "victorious measures":

Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2006 10:44 am Post subject: SGTROK REGAINS COMMAND OF THE ORIGINAL DARK SKYES
Today is a great day. Today I was pulled to the sanc by CSRDanb.
DanB asked about the complaints he received from DS in reference to Dark.Skyes. I told him that DARK SKYES belonged to my command and I and we wanted it back.
DanB then pulled Fettara into the sanctuary so we could all have a conversation about it. Fettara did not take it well when CSRDanB decided to reinstate me. Fact is that Fettara should have never been put back in charge. I laid down the facts. I own the domain name for the website,I led for 3 years,I took us to the top.
The facts were plain to see. I explained that Fettara threatened our staff,booted several members including myself and engaged in gross mismanagement. His threats of trademarking our name fell on deaf ears.
CSRDanB looked at everything. Explained that for several months Fett never even had a subscription.
His made up stories about myself and others to transition into the OL position by burying the past did him in. Justice prevails and the truth is evident.
We have our outfit back.
Dan sent me an outfit invite and promoted me. He advised that I make whatever adjustments,kicks,promotions that I deemed fit.
I apologize for the past inconveniences. DS has survived alot of events. From this day foward you will never see the rank of "princess" again.
My first order of business was to boot Fettara. Then followed midnightstalker,techtrooper,redstormtr..monget and laraa left. All gone.
As originally planned DS TR and DS VS will remain stronger than ever.
I appreciate everyones support and look foward to getting back on the right track.
Command and infrastructure will be solid in the coming days.
I am posting the conversation of todays events. Be advised you will encounter some very sore people in the coming days. Good Riddance...
AND FINALLY!!
FETTARA BOWS BEFORE US

Be advised That DARK.SKYES(with the period) accomplished it's mission in true heroic fashion by recapturing our outfit. Psychological warfare men. I have been military for over 18 years now and that outfit was hard core spec ops. Word never got out. We twisted their heads and pulled them off to regain what is rightfully ours. We won...no one can ever claim otherwise.
Thanks to all the command that participated.
Never underestimate our politics,diplomacy,tenacity,and cunning.
DARK.SKYES has retired it's colors. Job well done in battle. Never forget the outfit that got us OUR outfit back.
Any DARK.SKYES member that had been a member report to the DARK SKYES outfit and be prepared for a hero's welcome!
HOOAH
