  1. I miss Lord Sharpe, chuckybob, toffee, ph00ny, and 1000 other guys who disappeared over the last two years. I hope you all come back someday (and join Umbrella, of course :awesome:)!

    and I hope I am never missed, that would mean I didn't go out with a big enough bang :P

  3. to be honest, Gen[m]ay was not forced to disband. had they stuck it out a bit longer, they would have most likely gotten peace. so laying Gen[m]ay's disbandment at the feet of Polaris is complete bs. I have talked to several former [m]embers and the internal issues that [m] had more than outweighed everything else when it came to their disbandment. so, while you can lay \m/ at Polaris's feet, [m] you cannot.

    Also, you wish to talk bout insubordinate leaders, take a look at GOONS just prior to the UJW ending. that is insubordinate and far worse than ES. Also, this little IRC log, even if true, looks suspicious. the last line for instant could be not related or a joke. and the fact that it looks as if more conversation happened before, possibly during, and most likely afterwards does not lend that much credence to what is actually shown.

    It is not cut and dry, we did ask for peace when we could have actually gone on, by the time we got our response it was probably too late though.

    edit: though it doesn't really matter, genmay was past its prime, its probably a good thing it ended when it did :P

  4. I can only think of 3 alliances that it could be argued that Sponge made disband, and even then he only really forced one (\m/) I do not believe the second approached Sponge for terms ([M] i am not sure on that though) and the third had no intention of ever surrendering (GOONS). I can think of two alliances off the top of my head that are at war with Q and are never going to get peace (NoV and FAN). So I would say Q is pretty much right on par with Sponge on that.

    correction, afaik, we (as in [m]) did approach NpO with terms (undoubtedly either Myworld or Electron_Sponge) and were told "no, you are not eligible for terms" at that time, though maybe it would have been different if we held out a little longer, which was impossible with how fast morale and unity had disintegrated within the alliance. I considered and still consider it a forced disbandment since there wasn't any real option for our alliance at that time.

  5. Can't stress how lucky we are to have all these new alliances on black filled with people with good heads on their shoulders. I am glad to have met y'all, and I hope we can work together to make black even better. Congratulations on such an important milestone!
