Popular Post MrHat Posted October 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2015 Vanguard has decided to take a new direction as of tonight.After our lackluster performance in the recent war, the membership of Vanguard began discussing the future of the alliance. With morale at an all time low due to our defeat, we quickly determined that the status quo was not a viable option. If we kept the status quo, then we would keep being attacked by alliances as a means of proxy war against our allies. Vanguard could not have asked for better allies than the Viridian Entente and Rose - whose support was invaluable during our struggle - and we regret that we were not able to do more for them. It is with heavy heart and after much deliberation that we make this announcement.First of all, we apologize to our staunch allies in Paragon for our poor showing in the last war. Thank you again, VE and Rose, for your unending support, friendship, and well-wishes. We have been only a burden to Paragon and you both deserve so much more. With this in mind, Vanguard hereby withdraws from Paragon and cancels its unilateral treaties with VE and Rose effective immediately.Secondly, Vanguard hereby enacts a "paperless" foreign policy effective immediately. We will not allow ourselves to be another alliance's burden. Until such time that we are confident that we wouldn't be a burdensome ally, we have decided it would be best to not be an ally at all.Finally, we recognize that we can't quite go it alone just yet and have hired the entrepreneurial pirates at Arrgh to assist us with raiders and such. We hope their services will not be needed but will be keeping them on retainer indefinitely, just in case.These were very hard decisions for us to make and we did not make them lightly. Perhaps one day Vanguard will return as an active player in the politics of this world, but for now we have to focus on our own internal affairs. We kindly ask for the understanding of the world as Vanguard moves in a new direction.Sincerely,Mr. HatCommander of Vanguard 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aksel Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 MrHat - this is a very bold move indeed. It takes a lot for a leader to make bold moves - it also takes a lot to highlight your faults, especially publicly. Whether you were truly a burden or not, the fact still remains that this is a statement. I hope for Vanguard to point their feet on a path of solid reflection and future achievement. o/ Vanguard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayayay Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Holy shit, I can't believe this actually happened. I thought it was a joke when I heard about it a few days ago.
