I am deleting TS for a few reasons. 
In short.... because I am physically drained of being a leader/coleader
But most importantly because TS was so far ahead of everyone else in the game that it became a)unfun and b)unfair for everyone else not in TS.  Thats not what I'm about.  That's not what we're about.  We were the only guild that could beat CE and it was to the point we could just harbor the items for ourselves and sell at high prices and such since no one else could beat it.  It wasnt fair and had we have kept going it wouldnt have been right.  We were on top for just about 4 months.  The game gets stale after a while.  A lot of the people who have been predicting we would fail and flop and yada yada yada.... Say what you want.  We didnt fail.  It was because of how much we didnt fail that I had to end it.  Anyone with common sense who wants to see the game succeed knows this is what's best for the game.  TS was fun while it lasted but all good things must come to an end.  We ended pretty good.

With all that said...
My opinion.... Theres too many guilds who cant even beat Shadow Sentinel.  Need more teamwork if you are ever to succeed.  Everyone's out trying to do their own thing.  TS could have remained greedy and kept going.  Dont be greedy, dont be needy.... teamwork and activity is the key.  Sometime's you have to put ego's aside and take the backseat to someone (sacrifice) for you to get the best results.  TS worked because it wasnt my guild, it was our guild.  I couldnt have done anything there without EVERYONE there.  Even the few who were once there but left... like vespah, joker, andy, forever young, slayer, download and others who have since departed and went elsewhere.  Everyone was an equal, everyone stood equal chances in contests and it was more so like a family.  Only thing I did as an individual was bring them all together.

Sorry if I let anyone down...
In short... it was what is best for the game.

It was good while it lasted, I doubt anyone is disappointed after experience like that. (smiley)
As for me, I am most likely going back to IW, for good. (Most likely as in if they let me back (smiley))

The gist of it is, you proved you could rally the troops, but doing that long-term is an incredibly difficult thing to do, especially when you are #1.

When you are #1, the only way you can go us down(smiley)

I won't say I told you so, because, well, you proved you could take a guild to the top spot. The candle that burns twice as bright, lasts half as long (unless that candle is Invisible War, because we're awesome  ).

Seriously, nice work. I'm quite looking forward to seeing how the power redistributes. I sincerely hope it doesn't crawl completely back to JD (smiley); out of the frying pan, into the fire (smiley)

Mike far from failed with TS. They were are a great guild and Mike and the rest of TS could have easily sat on top for another 4 months without anyone else getting close.

Respect to Mike and the others for trying to make the game and the guilds alot more fair and fun (smiley)

Correct decision, i think that there should be like four or five guilds that are batling it out tat the top, make the game more tense and exciting, im looking forward to see how this affects the game in general. (smiley) Congratzzzz Mike you desrve a medal. Or a cookie.
