Onward TOOL!

Also, congrats on the retirement Mia. IRON are some great folks (if that is indeed where you are going)

[Edifice]

So has TOOL given someone a CB or are people just rubbing the fact that they lost members in their faces for no reason (other than the fact they have "wrong" treaties).

Threats? All I see is people commenting how an alliance losing its leader and have 10% of the alliance leave simultaneously is just another nail in the coffin.
[/quote]
[color="#0000FF"]Observations? All I see is people subtly hinting their desire to roll TOOL and then denying it. Of course, I shouldn't be surprised that Archon has brought out his puppies in VE and Umbrella to drown out the truth. I will not stand for this. I will not be idle while you try to threaten TOOL during its most delicate and precious moments. You can deny it all you want, but I know what you're up to. I know about your little grudge against TOOL, and I won't let you do it. Not without a fight.

I shall lead the charge with blazing words of truth. Words which will shake the very foundation of your new hegemony, which is no different than the old one, in their truthfulness. These words brought the NPO to its knees. They will do much worse to you.[/color]

I have an urging desire to roll TOOL.

[Earl Dumarest]

I see the same tired old replies from the usual suspects are polluting the topic.

That said, there are enough [i][b]other [/b][/i]detractors to inject a sense of drama into something that already had a hint of mystery. Those two things are not good attributes of what should have been a routine announcement.

My own contribution will not be exciting; just to congratulate The Dakotans and to wish Mia good luck.

[bzelger]

Sorry to see you go Mia. Best of luck to The Dakotans.

No no no. You're getting it all wrong: it's Archon and it's MK so it has to be a threat. Or a menace. Or at least something evil.

Facetious and sarcastic comment in defense of MK, engage!

Ridiculous accusations deserve nothing but sarcasm.

Awfull early for threats isnt it Xiph. Too your second statement we will never know. Some people may be great in certain aspects of gov but may not be cut out for others. Some times a timely departure is the best thing you can do for an alliance.

Just because they arent the current flavor of the month dropping them would only drive others away. Its not having a treaty when its conveniant that makes you cool its the willingness to stick with that partner in the hard times that builds a bond. Great example MK-Athens and more recently Athens-MK (even with out a piece of paper).

[quote name='Rampage3' timestamp='1290584653' post='2521984']
Shouldn't you be worrying about IRON now? BTW is is much cooler there or just SOMEWHAT cooler?
[/quote]
Perhaps there is a back story here that i dont have all the info for but from a simple uninformed perspective this comment is beneath the dignity of RoK as a whole. Its never easy to leave an AA you have spent time building, the decision is a difficutl one. It seems to me there must have been a faux pas some where to have so many from a certain side of the web come out and spit on a leader as she departs her posistion and apparently her AA.

I find myself in partial agreement with RV here it seems some tensions are being displayed by some prominent leaders who seem to feel the need to flex some mucle here. TOOL would indeed be an interesting target on how it would play out on the web.

Good luck Mia in your travels may you find what you are looking for.
Good luck Dak it seems you have your work cut out for you but if Mia believes in you then im pretty sure youll do fine.
Good luck TOOL as a whole may you find the shining light at the end of the tunnel that leads you on to even greater heights.

Xiphosis will find any alliance that may be diametrically opposed to his and then all of a sudden assume some sort of undying grudge that won't go away until he gets his own. He isn't exactly discrete with it either.

Rest easy, moral crusader.

TOOL wouldn't be worth the effort to attack... even assuming we had reason and were in the proper frame of mind.

Fake edit: It's pretty funny that this is all you've got, though.

To our friends in TOOL, if there is anything STA can do to assist you during your transition, all you need to do is say the word.

So, with the retiring of GK, can we expect every TOOL leader to retire in rapid fashion? [IMG]http://imgur.com/PYU3Q.gif[/IMG] Once is an occurrence, twice is a coincidence, but the third time, that'll be a pattern.

Yeah as if there wasn't a giant schism that wrecked half your alliance's NS as well.

What a joke.

[anenu]

I don't know about anyone else but after reading RV's post in this thread i suddenly hope that Archon follows through on his "veiled threat" and MK does indeed roll TOOL.


All I can say RV is good job I entered this thread with a low opinion and more or less complete disinterest in TOOL but no desire to roll them and left hoping to see them burn in a combined fire of MK/GOD

Mia it's been a pleasure working with you whilst you were in TOOL and I have no doubt that I'll continue to have that pleasure even though you're in IRON.

Daks I'm sure you will be able to step up to the position and will serve TOOL for a long time to come.

FEAR has got your back as always, if you need anything just give us a shout.

Since no one else will say it. Is it true TOOL voted to disband and it failed causing these members to leave?

If that's true that's hilarious. So Mia came into power and saw it was hopeless.
