So over the last week and a half, BFF has made some changes to the way we do things. We also had an election, so that was fun. Anyway, keep your eyes open for some pretty cool stuff from us in the coming weeks. Also, Polaris, we're gonna steal your sanction spot.

Dre4mwe4ver Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I said I keep an eye out for BFF announcements due to the sigs, and you have yet to disappoint. o/ Also, I'm curious, is there a way for Elders to lose their position? For example, if an Elder chooses to leave the alliance, then returns at a later date, will said Elder retain Elder status? Or is it revoked immediately upon resignation from the alliance?
