Phoenix Federation change of command.

[deathcat]

Not much else to say that hasn't been said by friends and allies..

I want to personally thank everyone for keeping this respectful, despite rifts IC.

Mhawk, I want to say, Thank you.

You've been my leader since I landed that "HUGE" $300k loan back in the day . I've followed whereever you've led me and I've never been disappointed. I may not have wanted to close the door to our Family at Elysium's hallowed halls.. but I've not been sorry. I've made some great friends here at TPF and have you to thank for that... Again. The alliance, despite the last YEAR of constant on again off again war, is a stronger, closer-knit group than before. We have a great membership and an exemplary gov and I look forward to TCK's reign as our "ebil" [s]overload[/s] Overlord...

I will miss our chats, even when you had 30 others going on at the same time. You treated me and my family like personal friends and I will always appreciate it in the years to come. Enjoy retirement and when you finally leave this planet for another realm, I will hope you'll still stop in IRC to chat. Best of luck my friend... Best of luck.

Time to PARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTY! There will be dancing in the halls of TPF followed by my famous Siamese BBQ Pit serving up Brisket, BBQ Applewood Smoked Ribs with Huckleberry Rum Sauce, Herb Rubbed Rib Eye, BBQ Smoked Salmon, Coconut Shrimp, Beer Battered Sea Bass and of course.. Clam Bake with Lobster and King Crab! Sushi is being served at the Tatani Bar with Sake!

Also, Thank you for the "hidden" gun porn!

[Heyman]

I've said this several times already, Mhawk, but it never gets old to say it again.

It's been an honor.

[Cortath]

It is sad to see the setting of the sun, but gratifying it is to see it rise again.

Your leadership will be missed mhawk, but we know TCK is an excellent choice to succeed you.

[bakamitai]

Enjoy the easy life, mhawk. Good luck to TCK and all my friends in TPF.

[Desperado]

Enjoy retirement, mhawk.

Oh, and this is your retirement present from TCK (Sorry if it has already been used before):

Congrats TCK.

Good luck on your next 'season' of existence mhawk. Hope it's a good one.

[Lenny N Karl]

Good luck to TCK and enjoy the retirement/break from active gov't mhawk. well deserved

[Taget]

Congrats to TCK and good luck in retirement mhawk. Don't wear out the shuffleboard court.

[Lord Brendan]

Three pages and not a single hard six joke? I'm amazed.

Although you were not my favorite character, you generally stuck to your guns and have had a large impact on the world. Enjoy your retirement.

[Schattenmann]

I'm pretty sure Slayer99 moved TPF away from UjP when he turned tail five minutes into a war he was afraid to lose, not you.

Other than that, the rest is your perspective of the last 2 years which is bound to be different than anyone else's.

Although we did know this was coming, it is still sad to see it. You, and TPF, have always been there for us throughout the years. Nor were you ever too busy to answer silly questions from one of the smallest of your Protectorates. On behalf of the AOD Brigade I would like to say thank you for all you have done, and the work you've done. For us, Planet Bob has been a better place for your being here.

It was suggested that we get you a cane to beat Desperado with and keep him off your lawn. However, I'll just leave it at this.

May the sun always rise up to meet you, may the wind always be at your back, and may the stars always guide you home.

[Ashoka the Great]

It was a pleasure dealing with you (albeit briefly) mhawk.

Be forewarned that one never really 'retires'.

best luck on your path MHawk and admin mercy The Crimson King!

Congratulations TCK. I know you will be a great leader.

Mhawk, now you won't have to be poked constantly to post something of srs bsns importance.

Airikr, you're simply awesome. Thank you and I hope the wind is always at your back.

[JBone]

It's been an interesting run hawk, best of luck in all you do.

.....more talk of insurrections, I loled.

I look forward to a bright future under the reign of TCK and that Desperado fella.

Needless to say it was saddening when mhawk came to me a while back about his decision to retire, and it was with great humility that I accepted the offer to take the reigns when he decided to step down.


I have always considered myself lucky to be a part of the finest community on this planet. The devotion shown by the members of this alliance is only matched by the loyalty of our allies, and it is both of these things that always have, and will continue to define us. I have been proud to fight beside and help govern the members of this alliance, honored to work with the exceptional people to which we are treatied, and I consider it nothing short of a privilege to be tasked with leading TPF and her members going forward.


To all our friends and allies who have passed along their support and well wishes in regards to this change, I can only say thank you. And to anyone who wishes to get to know me better, be it friend or foe, ally or adversary, I will simply say that my door is always open.


Finally, and most importantly, on behalf of all the members of TPF I would like to extend a much deserved thanks to mhawk for all he has done for this alliance in his time as leader. His strength of character and incomparable resolve has allowed him to guide us with an ever steady hand through good times and bad, and without his leadership and devotion we would not be where we are today. It has been an honor to serve under him, and it will be a great benefit to both myself and the alliance as a whole to still have him available to provide advice and council going forward.


Congratulations on your retirement my friend.

You are too humble sir. Mhawk made some questionable calls, especially towards the end. Here is to new beginnings
