To the SGW Community,

[Virgil]

To the SGW Community,
I would like to take this time on behalf of the Dirty Dozen to say thanks for all the fun over the past years. However there comes a time when having a lot of power or having a lot of good relationships within our NAP network is not enough. Sometimes the ability for a person or in this case a team to take a look in the mirror and do a gut check and realize that our time has come is hard. In this case however, even though hard, the realization has come that with the evolution of the game things do change and a team needs to change with them.

DD as a team has always been ultra close. However many know that closeness while good in battle or in friendships is important. In a game like this activity and the ability to act as 1 is paramount. DD has lost that fire. Whether it is from the management being too busy, members being too busy, or a combination of both the fact remains. Instead of pruning our membership into smaller numbers crushing very close friendships and such we will in fact officially be retiring as a team immediately. This was to come Saturday but now works just as well too.

Many of those on DD will move on to new homes, some may go solo, some may just retire like I have done, and others may band together and form a new alliance. But in the end it is important for me to thank all of my members over the years and thank all of our allies over the years. That ranges from Omega, DDE, FAHQ, TL, TO, and some smaller groups as well. I must also say thanks to the community for their part in what has made DD what it is and was. Also thanks to admin for bringing this game about to form and bond so many new relationships worldwide.

While I am known for my big posts privately this one will be rather short.
Once again thanks to everyone in the DD Family, Our Allies, The Community, and The game administration. It has been a pleasure working with you all, fighting with you and against you, and more so been a pleasure meeting you all. While DD officially retires today and the individual members move onward in the SGW Universe I felt important that everyone publically know why and to let everyone know that from me personally I appreciate everything.

From the desk of GenLucky my final post it note!
To one and all goodnight and have a Merry Christmas.
Virgil aka GenLucky

Many read this,but none replied so far.
I guess everyone is without words as I am now.
Don't know what to say....even though I've never been to DD, but I know what is your alliance about at least from forums and people.

Prob the saddest day in sgw ever...

but Good luck in everything and hope DD members will find a new home.

[PSICOLIX]

i'm sad, but not suprised...

the game is more dinamic now, have power isn't enouth, you have to use it. After the planets update MANY players gave up on use they main acount to fear of lose the planets, and now its fear to lose they ascended resoources.

Especialy us BIG players, we got lazy, and forgot to put time into the game. just "happy" with income + UP. well things changed...
its a new era on SGW.

DD will never be forgoten.

PSICOLIX honor his time on DD by change permanetly one of his planets name to: "Dirty Dozen Forever"

[Dralan]

GenLucky..

Its the rest of the community who should thank you and the rest of DD for all the fun times you provided for all those players who crossed paths with you at one or more occations.

Good luck in the future with whatever you will be doing..

[Vendetta]

The game will miss you DD.

[dazman]

We will all miss you Gen. Thanks again for all the help you gave me. You made me a stronger player.

Good luck and Merry Christmas.

I hope to see the day when you're gone.

But on topic, I have always held DD members in high regard and it is indeed a day in sgw to be remembered. And I'm curious, did this coincide with Dec. 7th for a reason (Being the bombing of Pearl Harbor and DD being the "Dirty Dozen" or just coincidence? Just curious.

Farewell DD

[tweetygirl]

I will only further add to what I have said privately to GenLucky and Lord Neqa'el...

As a proud non-actual member of DD I am saddened by this event as I see a part of my history in this game going too. I have enjoyed being at your side on many occassions and thank you for having been at mine. Much like PSICOLIX did, I have named a planet Dirty Dozen Forever .. as the bond I shared with ur alliance only grew stronger and I was glad to be a part of it.

Virgil, much like when you left before ... good friends don't stop talking. So I expect to hear from you, after all conversations don't need to mainly consist of game chat as we are beyond that.

To all DD members, regardless of what alliances you are choosing/have chosen. I would hope we can still continue our relations (might need to send me a note as lol lately there have been a lot of u).

And to all those retiring from the game... I wish the the best .. and LOL .. tweets lubs gifts

Thank you for the countless hours of laughter.

We fight together, we die together... bravo for bringing that full circle from the start of the alliance to the end.

What can be said

You guys have been an inspiration to many, and friends as well.

Gen you have done a great job running one of the most powerful alliancis in the game.

You will be missed, but never forgotten. People will always talk about DD and their domination of the Ascended server.

Good luck guys and girls. I applaud you all.

[ogre9805]

sad to hear its disbanded and wishing u all GL ,

Farewell Dirty Dozen

[geisha]

SGW without the Dirty Dozen feels kind of weird... but then again, it's good to see that you guys actually stick to your slogan "we fight together, we die together".

Farewell guys! It has been an honour to be a part of your alliance and it has been an honour to be your ally.

I wish those of you who decide to stay in the game good luck with everything and that you will find a great new home.

[FreeSpirit]

All i can say is good luck to the DD branches

[BL1P]

A sad day indeed


when Rome fell it must have felt something like this
farewell too the number 1 alliance and my best wishes too all its members.
