Hi this is First Citizen I would like to thank end times for creating this alliance, I have found a very happy home here. Going forward, I fully support Armyvet and Manticore in assuming leadership of the alliance. A few things: I like the name last rites, good idea. I think whatever our name is something grim and foreboding of imminent doom is very fitting. So hats off on that Also I would like to see a rules change of not forcing people to have a Facebook account. My decision to not have social media in my life is my own. I am not hiding anything. I have been nothing but a gentleman since I joined this alliance and easily contribute over 200 samurai a week for this alliance. When I joined with you guys there was no stipulation that I had to have a FB account. I think it is important for each and everyone of us to separate this game, fantasy, from facebook, reality. That is after all why we play these games, to assume an alternate character even for a moment in time. Let's not blur the lines between the two and use conveince as an excuse. There are plenty of other ways for us all to keep in touch. Use groupme, it's really a good program. I am not lying when I say that I am an adult. I was born in 1982 and just turned 33. Also I think that all major and minor decisions should be put to a fair and democratic vote. I hope that you all continue to allow me to stay in this alliance. Thank you, and good hunting First Citizen
