Still, congratulations on the peaceful transfer of power.By the way..your sig has 'There is not limit'. Shouldn't that be either 'no limit' or 'not no limit'? Don't you even dare try and claim I 'bailed'. Anyone can attest to the amount of time and effort I've put into rebuilding this alliance back to its former glory, So I'm going to have to ask you to refrain from speaking about matters that you have no clue about.

Kevin McDonald Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Did you have to promise not to start a war, or to start a war, in order to join VE? ... too soon? Also, best of luck in the future, OV. I have felt asking a few people to replace 1 person is generally a good idea, and have employed the method myself.
