tcmstr134 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Announcement from the Ace of Hearts of The Deck of International Card Experts, aka DICE (ok, it is 3 days late, I was on vacation): Less than 4 months ago, we made our DoE, as an alliance of elite members who were slightly laid back, and invitation only. Some changes have come since then, and we are now open to the public, but it is still not as easy as just posting. Since our inception, we have grown at a rapid rate through aid from within our alliance, and the normal growth rate and programs. It is now that we would like to announce our first milestone in total Nation Strength, 500k!!! As you can see, we are a small Alliance at 22 members, but we have a quite tight-knit group, and we only hope to grow larger together, and have those new people come in and help us grow, as we will help them as well. Just for those who wish to see our growth rate: As you can see in there, it is a steady growth, and whenever we lose strength, we tend to gain it back quickly. Finally, I would like to take this time to thank our most awesome protector during this period, Athens. o/DiCe o/Athens tl;dr: DiCe hit 500k with just 22 members and less than 4 months.
