[JAN 2010] GoDs announce pending disbandment

In an earlier public statement, one of the current Heads of Generals of Destruction (GoDs), Pheebs, announced that the GoDs would be shutting its door - permanently. Not too long ago, GoDs had temporarily disbanded due to a meltdown to instability in the administration. Back then, the resilient Pheebs, with the help of several former officers, had managed to enable GoDs to rise from the ashes once again, restoring it to its former glory.

Unfortunately, however, that glory would not last. For barely 2 sets later, Pheebs had to announce that GoDs would soon be no more.

'After much discussion with the other founders - it has come to the point that no one has the time to run GoDs, let alone the returns which just aren't matching the time that we have to put in to make it run set after set.'

'While it does sadden me to be the one that has to make this announcement I have been assured by a few members that they plan on going on in one clan or another.'

'GoDs has had a good run on here with all of you fine people. But it is time to say enough. We just can't compete with the newer clans at this point in our golden years.'

'So with that - please be expecting some members coming from GoDs. Thank you all once again for giving GoDs a helping kick in the ass on more than several occasions.'

The reaction from the Mars community was instantaneous. Masta, the Satanic Sleeper of GoDs, agreed that 'It's for the best to end it this set, it has been fun and whacky and good all around but in its current poor-activity plagued incarnation with the competition now present on the server GoDs isn't going to be getting much farther than it has thus far.'

He proudly admitted, though, that 'I will still remain to be forever and always outlandishly GoDly.'

And Montrillian (otherwise known as Monty) had a few touching memories of his own to share. 'It's really sad to watch GoDs finally end.
When I first started out life on Mars, it was GoDs who had taught me everything I knew, it was there that I grew the most and learned everything there is to know, from warring, to netting to spying. And it was also GoDs who threw me right out of BootCamp and into training Bootcampers, I was a regular member for all of 2 weeks.' he recalled.

Jeweler, head of the MODs and part of the Board of Directors, and Ashkael, one of the Chiefs of the Board, also paid their respects to the once great superpower of Mars. 'We would like to thank all the founders (DLAzrael, Pheebs, Adama, Angel, Dragon, Jabroni, Lucan, Steve, Suni and Jeweler) and regular member of GoDs for being with us all the time, and also for training up other members of the community. We are sorry to see them leave and hope in time they will return.'

Jeweler added that he was sure that the alliances here would be willing to accept the members from GoDs, and that he personally would love to see new alliances develop from the membership of GoDs.

Even Dwarve made one of his rare appearances to comment on the fact that 'I think it was time for GoDs to finally call it quits for good.'

And to end with the words of Monty himself, 'So to honor our fallen friends, a toast. To all of you that are to leave our presence, Good luck in what ever you may do, for those that are coming to a new clan, fight with the Pride of the GoDs on your back, and to the founding members. Thank you for everything you've done for all of us.'
