On 9 March 2020, in VeeeKoooN's thread "The Artemis Alliance And Why It's Problematic To Me", GoulartJJ replied: "Hello, as the Shadow Fall leader and one of Artemis leaders I'd like to say that small guilds can grow very easily, alliance or not"^[1]. No other first-person claim to an Artemis leadership seat was ever recorded.

The rest of the post set out how Artemis explained itself. On growth: ShadowFall "grew with FFA's, we were level 20ish by August of last year, we tried joining Luna when we were leveling but got denied, that didn't stop us"^[1]. On the map: "If you're not in a map controlling alliance, nothing stops you from attacking any territories in the map, some may reclaim it instantly, others would rather use a diplomatic approach"^[1]. On the distribution of land: "Guilds who are with big claims are the guilds who have contributed the most to the alliance." On entry: "Guilds may also apply to Artemis by contacting one of the guild leaders, and possibly be accepted."^[1]

Within a year ShadowFall had changed sides — urbymine reported on 1 February 2021 that "BNU(IBT), SHY and TNL are all goose now"^[2]. GoulartJJ was later a member of Imperial^[3].
