Lord Levistus Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 [quote name='Ostrogothi' timestamp='1341671254' post='3005909'] A question from someone not in the know: why was this necessary? [/quote] From the Valhalan perspective: At the end of 2011 Valhalla had started exploring the idea of a merger internally. Our activity levels were becoming worse and worse every passing election and those of us in gov were burning out. Rather than have Valhalla stagnate and die a slow death, we were looking at pulling the plug. A couple months ago BAPS and Oly started talking about a merger of their own. Baps and Oly are our two closest allies. This reignighted the merger discussions within Val, and we decided approach Olympus and BAPS to see if they were open to a menage a trois.

TRON IX Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 [quote name='Ostrogothi' timestamp='1341682860' post='3006011'] Never though Valhalla would ever face activity problems. But best of luck for the future! [/quote] We have plenty of active people. and If war breaks or we need them to do something (see AA rush).. they are always there. We just didn't have enough active people that wanted Gov positions. Most of our alliance is retired gov/leaders. They know how much work it takes to keep an alliance up to our standards. and they know they don't have the time needed to fulfill that. Combining our efforts and gov's from 3 to 1 makes it much easier to accomplish. This whole Merger thing has everyone excited again. Just the spark we needed to get this machine back up and rolling.

Joe32320 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 It's always sad to see an established alliance go, especially an alliance you've grown accustomed and become friends with, but you guys will do great in your new home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striderwanabe Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 You'll be missed Valhalla, but at least your community will persist. I hope all of you choose to keep playing and transition successfully to your new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Bromeini Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 All in all Val seemed like a quality alliance. As one door closes, another opens, etc. Good luck to you, fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChairmanHal Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Back in late February, 2009 I contacted chefjoe about the possibility of joining Valhalla. I'd like to thank him publicly for taking me in and I like to think that in the years that have passed since that I've paid him and Valhalla back for their hospitality. There are many other people to thank at Valhalla...too many to mention here. But know that I look forward to working with all of you as we enter a new era. To the haters: Your bawwing in this thread is substandard. To STA: We can still dance. Bring your platform shoes. We have not been struck down...we have become more powerful than you could possibly imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnsworth Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 [b]o/ Valhalla \o[/b] Good read. We at DT wish you the best of luck moving forward and look forward to working with you and those you're joining up with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunterman1043 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 This whole merger thing really took me off guard because for years I had told myself that Valhalla is one of those alliances that'll be there til the end. lol. So what's the next big merger? NPO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHG Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Old alliance evolves into brand spanking new conglomerate with gunz It's only business, suddenly very big business.. fight the good fight gents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaghul Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Regardless of what you thought of Valhalla (which for me varied quite a bit over time), it wasn't a cookie cutter alliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
