So... here we are. The end of an era for many of us and a post that a lot of people have been waiting for for a while
The first question everyone has is why?...
Why?
Well... because we've done everything we wanted to :thumbup:
Most of us who were involved in this hit quit after MindWar got his unfair ban in uni35. The only reason we got together as a group again was because the merge gave us a unique chance to complete the only goal we'd ever have at that point... crash War Machine
We accomplished that one back in April, crashing the biggest account in OGame incidentally, and from then on we started to gradually drop away from the game. This day was inevitable. The only question was when.
To ask about when, we had to have some sort of trigger for us all to look back and reflect, and then decide to do this. I'll discuss that shortly but there are a few other events that drew us towards this conclusion too. In no specific order: the decision to erase the OGame archives, the unfair bans Unity started receiving (including my own ban a few weeks back which had no explanation attached), and the dismissal without warning of some of our longest serving mods and game operators in what could only be described as a power grab. As well as this Umakhelwane's rank was outright depressing for us to deal with. However, this accumulated into our final decision with that trigger I just mentioned...
Since I wrote this first part a lot has happened, and well goes to confirm a few things we thought that added to our reasons to quit. In short, the immediate change in certain players' status' and allegiances.
The Trigger
The trigger was simply enough, Blackmass' account being hacked (I won't name names but we all know who). This combined with the lacklustre response in trying to get it fixed made us think. Actually, what's the point if this could happen. Why not end the game on our terms instead? And that's exactly what we did.
Goes without saying the others had additional reasons too
The Hit
We decided to suicide into ourselves... so we did it

The flight:
The deletion of that pesky attempt to make Tirnoch rethink his options:
Our deletion:
I'd show you the rest but one of us can't do technology to save their life and, well... I had to submit a ticket to get it done because the button didn't work
Anyway... this post has taken too long to get posted so here we are... enjoy
