Leaving Ordo Malleus:


Hello. So after HHU and TnP left, this alliance quickly became something it never should be. In my opinion, instead of this alliance being a balance between all the guilds, it become more of a dictatorship between Kru and Arenos. HHU and TnP were two of HoL's best friends. It is a known fact that the alliance was largely ran by Fuq, HHU, HoL, Tnp, and Snr. These were the original guilds, and were the most respected Ordo guilds. There was an issue that these guilds were split on. You can probably guess what it is. When HHU and TnP left, HoL was the only one left on one side of the issue. It is in my opinion that this caused the issue to grow, and I was powerless against it, with nobody on my side. I have begun to see Ordo for what it is, a group of people who judge everyone else, and look down upon every other person, and believe that this alliance is no longer beneficial to HoL. I regret to inform the leaders of Ordo Malleus that HoL will be leaving the alliance to pursue other interests. This alliance has been a great experience, and I wish some of you the best in your future endeavors. I don't want you to think I am taking this decision lightly. I have been sitting here for about 10 minutes trying to make myself hit the send button. To the people here I enjoy talking to and spending time with (you know who you are), I'm sorry.


Leaving Valkyrie:


Hello.
First I would like to apologize for this wall of text that is so unorganized. I started typing and couldn't stop.
I am so so sorry for what I am about to do.
I regret to inform that HoL will be leaving Valkyrie. I know y'all thought I had probable prospect of permanence, and believe me, I did. I was planning on staying forever. However, something has happened, and I am afraid HoL will be leaving VA. I don't really want to go down in history as the first (and probably only) guild to ever leave Valkyrie, but I am. Don't get me wrong, I've had a great time with y'all, and please don't hate me for this or anything, even though I know that is likely how this will end. I believe that Ari and Kv will (hopefully) be the most understanding of this, as much like Imp leaving Legio to create Valkyrie with Fox, HoL will be leaving Valkyrie to create Halcyon with TnP. Please, do not let this affect your opinion of HHU or Red's probable prospect of permanence, as he did not even know of this until about an hour ago, and has assured me that he will not leave and will stay with Valkyrie. I have already changed the HoL thread back to the original, and will remove the HoL art that Ari so graciously created for us from all the places where it is. I do not want to have any beef with anyone here, although I feel like that is inevitable, and I would completely understand if you hate me for this. You have my word that I will not share any private VA information with anyone, as I ain't no snitch. I do not know if there is any protocol for leaving this alliance, since it has never been done before, so I will just leave this chat and all y'all's chats, and if there is protocol or something I need to do, message me. Viva Valkyrie!


First Message to Yuno


Yuno,
I think that to say Valkyrie is thriving, or even alive for that matter, would be a complete and total lie. It is not a secret that lately the alliance has gone down the drain. We believe this to be a combination of many things. However, some of them can be fixed, and that is what we intend to do here. We know that your schedule has been highly erratic lately and that your inactivity may not be your fault. However, you have also overused your power and done things that not all of us agreed with. For example, you created the war alliance. While we were informed of it, we were not given an accurate description and agreed to it because we thought it was what everyone else wanted. Then, you added the Wybel Kingdom to it. You knew that not everyone was on good terms with the Kingdom's leaders, yet they were added anyways. I do not think anyone was consulted on this matter until after the fact. Therefore, we believe it to be in Valkyrie's best interests if you step down from your position and focus your attention on leading Imperial, not Valkyrie. We do not mean this message to be aggressive or hostile. We are asking you, as a friend, to relinquish your position as Valkyrie leader, and allow someone else to take the torch, post the thread, and take Valkyrie back in the direction of glory.
-A Unanimous Declaration from the Leaders of Valkyrie


Second Message to Yuno


Yuno,
I think that maybe our point did not get across to you. The "asking you as a friend" part of the message was only a formality. That was added to stop things from escalating further. The truth is, however, that we are not really "asking" you to step down. We are telling you to. Three out of four leaders support this cause. We also have the endorsement of Ari. Yuno, do not think that we won't take you up on the "if you don't like it then leave" statement. If we all leave, you won't even have an alliance to lead.


Final Message to Yuno


Yuno,
Your experience as part of the Valkyrie government for over a year has definitely not shown in your leadership. If the cost of Valkyrie returning to its former glory is Imperial leaving it, then so be it. Not one of us have a problem with that, and we believe that the benefits far outweigh the consequences. Unlike what you have done with this alliance, every decision and every message that has  been made/sent regarding this current ordeal has been done with the unanimous consent of every other guild leader, and this message is no different. If the price of this change is the loss of Imperial, then that is a price we are all willing to take.
