This is a PM that i sent to all my guild members, and i have decided to also post it here for those of you that have been in the guild in the past.
Howdy guyz,
I felt like i should let you all know that i have officially given up Ladder Slasher in a competitive manner. I will still be slashing, every once in a while, maybe a few times a week, but with nowhere near the drive and dedication i had previously shown.
Soon, (if it hasn't already happened by the time you read this) this guild will drop from the first page of the Guild Points rankings.
In light of the change of spirit of the guild, as well as our drop to the second page, i will likely be changing the guild name to something less ladder slasher oriented. I have not yet settled on a name, and i would ask those of whom i have spoken with about it to keep quiet for the time being, as i would like the name change to be a surprise!
I would like to thank each and every one of you that has contributed to the guild, most especially those of you who are still in it now. I am really glad that you all showed the loyalty to stick around through everything and i will always be grateful for that.
That having been said, if you are someone who is still now, (or would like to be in the future), dedicated to ladder slasher, i will understand completely if you wish to pursue a slashing career in another guild, and we will part in friendship, and you will always have my deepest gratitude and thankfulness for the help you have given in making this guild what it is.
I will also be posting this in our joint chat thread with Apathy, so for that portion of the audience i would like to say this:
For those of you who are no longer in the guild, I would like to extend the same heartfelt offering of thanks, and gratitude, for all the friendship and effort that you have shown me.
Admittedly i was a bit disappointed and even a little hurt when so many of you chose to leave the guild at the same time. It came as quite a shock, but i have gotten over that, and would like to apologize for any hard words or thoughts extended in any of your directions. Please forgive me.
As for future guild business, i will likely be closing the recruitment on the guild soon, and will be turning off the option to allow requests to join in the guild settings. Once this takes place, ONLY previous members of this guild will be considered for admission. Anyone who was in the guild for no matter how short a time may still find a home here, and a rank of their own, should they tire of LS, or simply want to come back.
Again, this will no longer, and i doubt ever again, be a Ladder Slasher oriented guild, but should you wish to rejoin you will always be welcome.
Thank you all, and i <3 everyone :D
