Ivan III
Although I as a former member of TGE can not side with the arguments you are presenting, I can see that you have a lot of pride in your alliance. And although I have my issues with certain aspects of TGE, finding loyal members like yourself who are filled with such a pride is far too difficult these days. I pray that you are right and that we do not know the NOW of TGE, although I would have to see it to believe it given the circumstances presented. I also hope that your pride remains and that TGE rewards you generously for it, because many of my friends were also filled with TGE pride and they all have far different stories to tell.
TGE I beg for you to keep Ivan III as a member. He may not know all the facts, which he has admitted, but he has great potential to repair your PR damage.
