Popular Post Greene Posted October 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2015 It has been speculation for some time now, especially from those who are more attuned to our alliance and its workings. Starting in September, I begin gradually shifting the authority and responsibilities for managing Cobalt to Betulius. I have long held the firm belief that you should not lead an alliance in these worlds for more than one year. Doing so, I feel, leads to stagnation and a tendency to take for granted that which you ought not. Last month I informed my members that effective November 3, 2015 (a week and a day after our one year anniversary) I would be stepping down as the leader of Cobalt. By creating a two-month transition period, I strongly believed, and still do, that we would be better prepared to face the coming challenges that would arise upon my stepping down. At this point, I want to give Betulius ample opportunity to get to know everyone in the community more directly (and as the heir apparent), ensuring that the final few weeks of transition prove fruitful. For that reason, I'm posting this up and informing the entire global community: Effective November 3, 2015, I will be stepping down as the Potentate of the Clique, and I have named Betulius as my successor, the next Potentate of the Clique. This should also explain our recent slips in rankings: several members have decided they were unhappy with the change in leadership, and chose instead to go off and form their own alliance. I don't begrudge them, they have to do what they feel is best for them. I should also state that I have no plans to resign from Cobalt. I am merely stepping down as the leader, and will remain on as an advisor of sorts, should Betulius and the members wish to have me. 10 Quote Formerly known as Grealind of Resvernas (28 October 2014-29 August 2017) and Greene of Japan (29 August 2017-28 Septmber 2017) 7th Caretaker of Duat, the Deity Thoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurdanak Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 My history with yourself, and Cobalt, is surely a rough one, but I always did enjoy talking to you and the others before and after those chain of incidents. I also understand the feeling of knowing it's time to pass on the torch. Enjoy your retirement, Grealind. As for your successor, I'm quite sure Betulius has been a promising beacon of change for Cobalt in the eyes of many, including myself, for some time now. A excellent choice, indeed. Congratulations and good luck to you! o/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwemyrn Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Ansom asked me to address this to you: Hello Grealind, I wish you best the of luck on future endeavors. We may not have started off on the right foot at first when I first met you but you later became a great friend and an a great ally. It was definitely a change; once being bitter enemies to becoming friends. I would like to formally thank you for all the help you've given me as well as being one of the few to take me seriously and trusting me. Korrigan Glacier Isles commends you for all you've done for both the Nation and Odd Squad. With this being said, we give you an open invitation into Odd Squad if you end up decididing to to depart from Cobalt. Whatever you may decide, best of luck. ~Ansom Edited October 9, 2015 by Ashwyn Traverse Quote -removed by thor- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Fifths Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 wait who? 2 Quote "In an honest service there is thin commons, low wages, and hard labor; in this, plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power; and who would not balance creditor on this side, when all the hazard that is run for it, at worst, is only a sour look or two at choking. No, a merry life and a short one, shall be my motto." - Bartholomew "Black Bart" Roberts Green Enforcement Agency will rise again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
