Kevin McDonald Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Greeting Planet Bob, It is with much sadness and a heavy heart that I inform you that, effective immediately, the Armed Coalition of Valor will be disbanding. Founded by iClean on May 6, 2008, the ACV immediately made its mark on Planet Bob by securing a protectorate with MHA. MHA became our closest friends and advisors, and I cherish to this day the amazing times we all spent with the then-triums, WCR, Johnson and Denzin, and with the Foreign Affairs staff, John Rocker (our personal advisor) and then eventually Blepo and Espressoville. Those were some of the best times for the ACV. The Aquatic Brotherhood was our closest ally aside from MHA at the time (though one could argue that Camelot, who we would finally ODP as Athens months later was also our closest ally), and we were pleased to sign treaties with them. We were also very close with MK in the beginning, though our paths diverged later on. We committed fully to Aqua Unity, and were among the first signatories of the ICE pact. M*A*S*H was our first non-Aqua treaty partner. Our path then took us to the Super Friends alliances, as we treatied RoK, Fark and RIA at almost the same time. This led to our involvement with IPA and TOH to form the Teen Titans Bloc. I'm glad we could expand that to ARES and Apocalypse so that it may remain a bloc without the ACV in it. Of course we cannot forget GUN and NATO. We went through the steps with these alliances to form PIATs and then ODPs, on to MDPs. We are lucky to have such great friends. I personally want to thank all the above mentioned alliances, as well as the other friends we made on Aqua. Lastly a thanks to all our members. From those who had previously founded alliances themselves to those of you who left us in great moral dilemma, from the members who have been with us since day 1 to those of you who joined us in the last few weeks: Thank you. We could not have done this without you. This has been a wonderful experience all around, and the relationships I've made are, in some cases, almost as rewarding as those I have (ooc) “IRL” (/ooc). (I said almost ) The Armed Coalition of Valor AA will be protected by the Teen Titans, as well as half of Aqua and others who have offered. I suggest you do not raid, unless you're looking for a few people to try out their new WRCs on you. The members of the ACV have been instructed to take the time they have on the AA to research alliances that they feel they may fit in the best with, and have been suggested to look up our allies. If you choose to recruit in this thread, you may, but keep it classy, and give my members clear features and benefits for joining you. Any lazy or lame attempts at recruiting will be met with ridicule and sarcasm from myself, and likely others. Also, I hereby give SystemFailure the license rights to our flag, as he has been the biggest champion of it. Intellectual and property rights remain with us, so he cannot change it or sell it... but if he wants to, I dunno, do weird things to it then he has my permission. A heartfelt thank to those of you who attempted to save us, and give us a few extra months. You know who you are and we cannot thank you enough. #acv will remain open for those who want to hang our and reminisce, and I will remain there until people stop showing up. iClean wanted to say something as well: Ladies and Gentlemen of CN,I remember fondly the day in which I founded the ACV. I remember fondly the great group of individuals we had from the beginning, their optimism, their talent, their pride for their alliance. I remember fondly those who came after. I remember their toils to learn the game, to serve, and to become part of something more profound and more important than any of them by themselves. These people made the ACV what it was moreso than the Executive Staff or the General Staff. I am so proud, beyond words even, of each and every one of you. When I announced the existance of the Armed Coalition, I did so knowing that there would be vast challenges and seemingly impenetrable obstacles blocking our way. However through the many months of my command, we surmounted all of them. I had the pleasure of watching our lowly trainees mature and grow as PEOPLE to become not only members, but leaders in their own right. I have stated many times, and I repeat one final time; "If the ACV motivates one single person to be more than they can be, not only in CN, but in their real lives, my mission is done and I can sleep better knowing that I made a difference." I am pleased to say that my goal was realized, ten fold. Many of the soldiers that applied began as people unsure of their path in life and their plans for the future. A large percentage of which now know exactly what they want to do, and aspire to a life of honorable service. To those great few, I can only say that it was an honor to serve with you and lead you. You are my brothers and sisters whom I shall never forget. Since our inception we've experienced many highs. We were graced with some great friends that would stand beside us no matter the situation. We were graced with a purpose and a camraderie that few alliances can rival. But we were also cursed with some "friends" whose personal career was deemed to be worth more than the bonds created between us. We were blighted with individuals who made it their goal to discredit us and ensure we would not succeed. These ailments marked the downfall of my time as Commanding Officer. However, I have been a silent overseer since my forced removal and I can say yet again, that you all have made my proud by your actions, your words and your character. Signed, Retired General of the Army iClean Former Commanding Officer of the General Staff Ex-Armed Coalition of Valor For the last time, o7 ACV! And always, o7 Aqua! General Sayeret Lt.

ShadowDragon Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) Well like I have probably said numerous times already I am sad to see this happen. I am, however, very glad we became allies of the ACV and got to know you guys. Good luck to all of your former members in finding a new home. o/ ACV You guys are and I will proudly continue to wear the Legion of Merit that ACV bestowed upon me.

Remaliat Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 This one really hurts, I considered your alliance as a whole to be among my best friends in this game.

Ghostlin Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 ACV has been stellar allies and we're glad that we had the opportunity to call them such before their brief time while we were. There are not many people classier than this, and I'm glad I got to know them. For the last time: o/ACV. Apocalypse will be among one of the many alliances eager to protect your AA.

ChairmanHal Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Very classy...as ALWAYS, Kevin I wish you well. I remember there being some talk of a possible merger with Rok at one point and it would not surprise me if a lot of ACV members ended up there. If you are looking for an alternative, I might suggest Valhalla (http://www.cnvalhalla.org), but then I'm a bit biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crushtania Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 One of the most proudest and honorable alliances in CN. They had made many friends and would defend them to the last point of infra. I was glad to have been allies with them in TAB and in MHA. I wish their fine soldiers the best of luck in their new alliances and to the ACV true believers, wherever they may be, to stand tall and know that their alliance was among the finest. o/ ACV!
