So Long and Thanks for the Fish

Well, it appears the decision has been made, so I’ll be going my separate way. I wish you all the best. Please look after my former wing and find someone to lead them, I really don’t think there is anyone there who can take over. Lack of other people with leadership skills and desire has always been a problem there. I will NOT betray my former alliance, or ever take any actions against y’all. I could never do that to the rank and file players who have been loyal the whole game. But I will be freed from that pledge however if anyone comes after me and tries to take my villages. I will immediately be banned and delete before you can get anything. Then I will accept an idle account from WAR and do everything in my power to bring you down, including a long talk about everything I know. But that won’t be necessary, because I’m sure we will all coexist nicely. My interest in the rest of the game is just to see what an end game looks like. I have no interest in causing shit.

Any way, so long and thanks for the fish.

well, you will be missed.

Would you come back if we broke ties with Rangers at some point in the future?

Can we count on you being a WW hammer in that situation?

It is a sad day that you feel you have to leave us

Its a shame you left like this slone, but you know where we are if you need us.

I can not begin to tell how disappointed i am... Actively recruiting players and driving them away from us is the lowest blow one could swing.
I'm starting to lose ANY respect i had from a guy i once thought had the most integrity and loyalty towards ABC...

I fully agree. I am in shock after all he has done with and for us all. It is a situation we need to keep a close eye on - WaR will see this as an opportunity to make everyone believe there is a complete split within ATCK. We need to start showing more unity and cohesion, probably more than ever. This is a key point of the server and remember we, the council, are the key

well, if he is just there, not causing trouble... that would make him the king of simmers.

not a problem though.
being the excellent psy-master that i am, i have seen this one coming.
but not a lot i can do now, except moving on.

NOTE (May 11, 200): This thread was the goodbye speech from slone to the ATCK Council. It has not been edited in any way as can be scene from the lack of edit tags. slone appears as "Guest" since he was deleted from the forum. This is being moved from the Council forum to a public area so everyone can see for themselves the difference in tenor between slone's departure speech and those of us wishing him farewell.

It should be recognized up front that slone's threats to the alliance were made unbidden -- ATCK did NOT know about his departure until this post, and NO threats were ever made against him.
