We had some great times but it came time to hang up ye 'ole Brain. Not all members are leaving Bob but many of your cuddly favorites have gone on to this thing called reality. Me? I don't trust it. [quote name='Caustic' timestamp='1351207346' post='3045232'] We took advantage of a nice several hour window between the disbandment and the protection notice. WARNING FOR NEXT TIME: GET A PROTECTOR BEFORE YOU DISBAND. [/quote] With the elections happening in the US I know many are becoming accustomed to constant exaggeration... it was 33 minutes.

How you doin?[/i][/SIZE] Followers of Adams, let it be known that we have no hatred for you. Our allies are our only concern in this conflict. Reverently we’ve posted in the past how really big, you just won’t believe how vastly, mindbogglingly big it is… The urge to revisit that topic is great but let me assure you that this will not be one of those encounters. You may be among the very angry and who widely regarded that as a bad move. There is no point in acting surprised about it. We have a tendency to make controversial statements, though we typically don’t seek questions. Obviously, we all know the answer. /s/ Shane-o mr3looc [SIZE=1][i]Hate ‘em all you want[/i][/SIZE] Freelancer (Acting CNS)

I'm glad we're tied to such a classy bunch. o/ GATO o/ The Brain o/ John Belushi

Unfortunate but I can't say we didn't see it coming after the last war... this pretty much completes our change in allies since then. For the record, SLCB is hilarious (I mean nothing negative by that) and all interactions I have had with you have been 100% class. One of the most appealing aspects of aligning with you, through the signing of The Coral Accords, was the fact that you didn't take yourselves too seriously. A fact that was much appreciated by The Brain and sufficiently lacking in a world of Bob. I have nothing negative to say about SLCB, best of luck. One last time...

Best of luck to Mr. Goose and to CSN's new government.

We at The Brain are honored to be the first outside signatory of The Covenant.

I don't really see this thread going anywhere productive. I left my thoughts on the maroonity forums yesterday when I still had access. It was a good time while it lasted but all things must come to an end. Best of luck to the signatories of the Chestnut Accords. If you want to talk send a PM, I won't be doing it here.

The truth is always better handled through private channels with the parties involved. The Brain has the utmost respect for our friends at CSN. We're disappointed with their decision to cancel our treaty but they've supported us through our entire existence up to this point (not always easy, I know) and for that we are grateful. Best of luck with your future ventures CSN.

Many alliances don't last three years, let alone a bloc of alliances. Congratulations on this monumental accomplishment, now go create shenanigans like a good bloc.

Still bored although these shenanigans do appear interesting.

Misty water colored memories... best of luck to the new NOON.

It's good to finally see a plan come to fruition... not Cam's creation of SU but the recruitment of Cam to The Brain. Sorry SU didn't work out but we're very glad to have SU and yourself join The Brain.

I wouldn't have spelled "sopposed" wrong, nope wouldn't have happened. I for one found it refreshing that there are still alliances out there that go the nuclear option immediately, solid work UINE. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em. Well done. The Brain fully accepts peace with these alliances. We have the utmost respect for all parties involved.

Lance has been complaining that he has too many pixels anyway, maybe this will stop his whining.
