Quality ex-leader right here. The most classy person ever to grace Planet Bob.
TSO, I have to hand it to you. I really thought you'd bail on TOP to save pixels. Although I'm sure you thought you'd win this war. In any case congrats on 1 year and the Umbrellian nukes you'll be sucking down. I know the 2nd year won't be too easy to get through now that big daddy TOP can't protect you. Who knows, miracles happen.

I may have lived in the shadows for pretty much the past year [ooc] retired [ooc] but when I got pulled back to CN due to a (argh we're at war!! e-mail) I was pretty convinced that winning was a no go.
Anyway, to be honest, there seems to be a lot of progress here. By my count only about 50-60% in this thread hate us. That's quite the improvement compared to last year. Granted, it might not be through our own merit but more through the fact that you can hardly flame people that are fighting beside you but it still makes me happy.
I suppose this was all we could hope for, a year of relative quiet with the group of friends that had formed in TSO. In the end the amount of hatred shared by those politically in charge would catch up to us eventually. I'm glad at least we got the chance to prove that we are able to stand together and play this game as it's supposed to be. This is why we stuck together, why we formed this group of friends. The comment of some guy earlier who said you're supposed to have a MDAP with each and every member of your alliance. Well that's true. That's where we and MCXA in general went wrong. It was too big, too many factions and no friendship. We tried to change it, by your definition TSO is more of a true alliance founded on the right principles. Unfortunately MCXA suffered a lot in the process. Myself and many others had given too much of our time to MCXA not to feel sad that it went this way.
Anyway /rant
Time for me to head back to real life and close this chapter. Oh and [ooc] I'd love to have a beer with you sometime Penchuk [ooc]
