Archon Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) [center][img]http://thecastlehall.com/mkflag.png[/img][/center] Three years. Boy it's been a long time. And we've certainly seen our fair share of stuff over those last 3 years. I'd rattle off some of the events, but most of you were around for it. Or act like you were, at any rate. It hasn't always been easy, and it certainly hasn't always been fair, but after 3 years I think we've managed to overcome pretty much everything and make an indelible mark upon this world. There's a lot of folks who seem to be under the impression that we rule the world. I don't think that's a very accurate assessment. Can't say I blame them - spending so long under a hegemonic regime in which one alliance did pull the majority of the strings would incline one to imagine that this is the only system possible. However, it is most certainly not the case. The Kingdom never battled for complete dominance, and we do not seek to infringe upon the sovereignty of our friends or allies. So, what will we do? We'll continue to thrive, we will continue to strive for excellence, and we will continue to work to maintain a world in which a hegemonic power cannot dominate. While I'm sure there are people who will disagree with that claim, and they may even produce propaganda to counter that point, we remain unconcerned. We see that because we are not a hegemonic power - we do not stop those who would speak out against us, and we do not threaten with death or destruction those who are not "loyal to us." We're the Mushroom Kingdom. For three years we have maintained a happy and ideally entertaining existence. We have been a strong social hub, building strong relationships with most all who are receptive to us. We have fought for what our alliance believes in, and while we have not forced that belief upon others, we have vigorously fought in defense of it. We aren't going anywhere. Whether myself or some other leads this alliance, it will always stand for the same ideals, and it will always be the bastion of excellence that it is. Long after all else fades, that which we are will remain. The hub, the mark we have left, and the memories we've created. Let no man, woman, or god challenge that. Here's to three years, oh Kingdom of my creation. You have far exceeded my wildest expectations, and made me more proud than I ever could have imagined. You are far more than just my creation anymore...you have taken on a life of your own that goes beyond any one person. I look forward to seeing what more you are capable of in the future.
