Popular Post TheNG Posted February 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) When you're on the frontier, in the vanguard, leading the way, life is never easy. The first brave Acadians were among the few to stride across the newly born world, and make it their own. They excelled, dominated, left an indelible mark on history for all time. All know who we are, and what we have done, what great works have been wrought. No man, no nation, no army could defeat them. Unfortunately, some enemies lurking in the deep woods are far more than mere men. Strikingly absent from the "report" cobbled together by the crook calling himself our admin are details. Details of how he maliciously manipulated the facts and game rules, and treated NPO like dirt while lying to their faces. This was not even his first offense, no, but merely the bloody crescendo of a vicious campaign to drive them out of the mess this world has become. We have seen this, and more in our time here. NPO are not those first dauntless few, they are not our oldest friends and allies, yet they were among those few who supported Acadia at our lowest moments when friends were in short supply. When news of this betrayal reached us, the Colonial Council gathered, and reached one conclusion. The great work must be abandoned, we cannot go on. We cannot in good faith continue to enable the toxicity, cheating, and worse that has doomed so many today. Change will come to Acadia, beautiful and deadly in all its many forms. Many of us will be embarking on the next ship away from here, to boldly go on a new adventure wherever the winds will take us. Some of us will remain to keep the lights on, and my final request is that we be left alone to sort out our business. Our discord will remain open forever for all Acadians and allies to gather and share a few moments together. Acadia endures, good luck to you all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------On a personal note, I've spent a fair chunk of my life here with you all, met a lot of people, and had a lot of wild times - good and bad. I'll always treasure that, if nothing else about this mess. Been thinking about it for a while, so now is as good a time as ever. Far too many people to thank for making it worth sticking around, and PnW doesn't deserve such a fine community. I'll be around here to finish up some things and then on Discord if you know where to find me. Always remember why you're here, and leave some breadcrumbs out if you have the time. - TheNG Edited February 6, 2020 by TheNG 11 2 23 Quote "They say the secret to success is being at the right place at the right time.

Prefonteen Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I want to dislike this post for its flawed premise, but it's rather well written. Out of the many coal B leaders, you were one of few I enjoyed interacting with. Best of luck to your community. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RightHonorable Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 DEIC was my first alliance in this game, my first war, and my first government posting. Acadia was the alliance I called home for a long time, and I still warmly remember my time with them. Despite our clashes, I learned much of what I know about leadership from those days. Despite our distance, I never harbored any ill will towards Acadia, and I sincerely wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors, whatever they may be. 1 1 Quote Haatyc or'arue jate'shya ori'sol aru'ike nuhaatyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleope Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May TheNG hold you in the palm of His wings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Anarch Caelum Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I’m tempted to take a long break as well. Shame to see so many interesting players banned, maybe if they come back in six months people will be motivated to do more stuff again. Probably the least interesting way for a war to end...

Popular Post George Clooney Posted February 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) I started playing this game because I got talked into it by friends from my CN days. Joined UPN, thought it might be fun to carry a spear. After a short time there the itch to lead overcame me and those same friends asked me to help out at NAC. I should have bought ointment instead... j/k Leading NAC was a struggle at first, my partner in crime Dorsaiwolf was a tremendous help, eventually I had the reigns and we figured out that we didn't know the first thing about fighting in a major alliance war. And there was that alliance flag, yeah I know. But we learned, got stronger, and the long running fight with Arrgh began. That fight eventually ended in a victory of sorts, but not without considerable effort and those of you who went through that effort and stuck around, you will always have my gratitude and my friendship. That brings us up to the merger with DEIC. It was arguably the best merger in P&W history, made that way because our strengths complimented each other so well. It also helped that TheNG and I were like brothers from different mothers--more times than I can count we would finish each other's thoughts about some FA idea or alliance policy. He was the extrovert that went out and spent countless hours interfacing with other alliances, the Meme King-in-Chief, while me with my contrasting style mostly worked in the back areas and provided leadership wherever it was needed. Acadia was a success from start to finish under the leadership of TheNG and myself. I have no regrets. It was a hell of a ride. As much as I enjoyed helping to lead Acadia, I no longer enjoy the game. It's not just the events of the past couple of days, or even the past month that were *the* reason for my lost of interest, though they were certainly major factors. There are major and minor bugs in the software, some are being exploited even now. I don't see them being fixed any time soon. That requires full time staff that the admin of this game can't afford (and the players contributions could never properly fund based on the number of particpants) who can look at the game objectively and make the necessary corrections. As for the future, Acadia is more than just a P&W alliance. So Acadia will endure. As for New Kentucky, it will be dusted off and prepared for storage. A trophy of my time here. Perhaps some day in the far, far distance future if P&W is still around, all the bugs and exploits are fixed, and management improves, I shall take the trophy off the shelf and play with it. Never say never. For now though... Time to move on. George Clooney out. Edited February 6, 2020 by George Clooney 3 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamala Khan Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Ok this is a really good post, someone please remind me to consider nominating it for best post 2020 whenever the award season occurs. Sad to see you guys go, Acadia was an IQ alliance I didn’t hate. I wish you all the best of luck in the future, whatever you guys decide to do.

Buorhann Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) I respected you quite a lot, and had it not been your tie to UPN, I had you and your AA top of my list to try and work alongside with when I first formed TGH. Back when I was attempting to do something different with the game. In some way, I respected Acadia’s hard stance of staying with UPN as allies. However, I’ll be lying if that’s true to this moment. After the Gorge dump and seeing some select statements from you, well... I’m sure you know where I’m going with this. In any case, just like Seeker, you are a big part of this game’s history. You had some of the funniest moments and memes in this community. From the merge with the Confedercy, the laughable accusations of Nazism, the numerous back and forths of Avian supremacy, the title of the red headed step child of Orbis, and the numerous good hearted and taunting memes - you and Acadia leave a foot print in the history of this game. Take care, and I’ll make sure our leaders try to respect your wishes for those who remain from Acadia.
