Ragashingo Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 It's always sad to see an alliance we consider a good friend fade away. We wish TOOL's members all the best as they join with our good friends in The Phoenix Federation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlinus Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I was "born" a Child of The Light. My heart is aching tonight, as a Child of The Light. It has beat for more than17 months, moment by moment, because of The Light. For those who know, no words need be said. For those who do not, no words would suffice. Children grow, and so do families. But children, if prepared well, are prepared to live honorable lives well; to take what they have learned with them no matter where in life they go. The bond of family is not broken by distance, or time, or even great conflict. The children gather unto themselves their own, and rekindle those things that make them who they are. We, the Children of The Light have learned well, because we were begun well, with purpose of right things, knowing that we would, some day, be required not to look at the Torch of The Light, but to carry it into distant and far away places. This is as natural to us as gathering Infra, giving away tech, or gifting money. We do these things not because we have to, just because we must. We may change our clothing, or our appearance. We may take other names. That is right. But, where we come from, who we are? No. No more than we could change the color of our hearts. Purity shines white. We were cared for, and guided by the very best in GK. His example, to each and every one of us is, regardless of our current location, position, or NS, has not failed. It has been said to me that the very worst member of TOOL would be one of the very best members of any other alliance on our Planets. That is, from my experience, a very true statement. Your children have graduated, GK. Know that you have made us survivable, safe, and responsible adults of the planet now, who will multiply your example wherever we go, and whatever we do. There can never be another TOOL. There should not be. We did it right the first time. Thank you for that. TOOL is an idea, a concept that many, myself included, struggled with early on. Yet, with patience and perseverance, and the amazing help and friendships I found there, I did eventually come to understand, embrace, and absorb those things that I was taught; the things that truly mattered then, and matter now. Truth. Honor. Integrity. Wisdom. Selfless giving--because it is the right thing to do. Your Word matters! Justice. Fidelity. Family. Today, one of the premiere alliances on the planets ceases forever to exist. What that alliance has produced, however, will be here long after today. To my friends, my family, my TOOLies, I wish you Godspeed on your journey. Stay close, keep in touch, and always remember: [size="3"][i][b] [/b][/i][/size][size="4"][color="#4B0082"][i][b]One Family. One Order. One Light![/b][/i][/color][/size] Forever, The Light! Raise it high always, and never be afraid to let it shine on your truth. /o TOOL!

Elric Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Although I have butted heads with a couple of individual members, I always respected the TOOL alliance. I am sad to read this announcement. Best of luck to all individual nation leaders, and congratz to TPF for getting some great new members who are already brothers and sisters. Go in the Light.

HeroofTime55 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I had a feeling something like this was coming. I'm sorry to see it, TOOL has demonstrated themselves to be an upstanding alliance in all aspects. You will be missed. I look forward to working closer with the former members of TOOL who now reside under the banner of our closest ally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
