Hello SBS Member,

As many of you know we’ve been under a new war with Feign.

Because of our numbers, feign has enlisted the help of a few more groups and also had a merge from an alliance known as Play Hard.

With these they gained the advantage of more experienced FCs.

With our super and titan assets mostly trapped or lost with the move from dek, we are at a disadvantage because of this.

We had arrangements with several groups around here from the moment we entered WC, but these groups have abandoned those arrangements and stabbed us in the back to help Feign - Slyce and FRT.

Both of these groups has given Feign the ability to have a foothold near us in 1L- and to apply pressure to the alliance with speedy re shipping to counter fleets that we use.

Because of the stress from the move from Dek to here and then jumping into a fight with these groups, I feel we need to find a place that isn’t like this and to have a break as members and leaders.

With that being said, and for the health of the alliance, we are withdrawing from the coalition and from WC.

We will have a new staging point that players will need to ship assets to for the upcoming plan.

I will not have you guys put up with such abuse without some cool down to regain your isk and morale to play the game.

I hope each and every one of you will stay with TARD during this transition, but if any of you wish to remain in WC, I suggest you reach out to other alliances/corps to see about switching over.

My goals are in line with your wants and needs to play this game and I will do everything I can to make your enjoyment of EVE possible.

It’s not an easy call to move around but sometimes just starting out we have to find our place and that’s what we were doing in WC - finding out where we could go and what strength we had as alliance.

the few times we have done a major operation, TARDs fielded around 70-90 toons on field - I for one am very happy about that and I’m disappointed in the players which have not been assisting in these Operations - names have been noted and a lot of people have been cleared out with the help of CEOs and corp directors.

I’m sure that many of you are thinking we are giving up - quitting either EVE or TARDS.

We, as an Alliance, are not - and most definitely do not want you to do so.

We are just trying to find that place that we want to be in and grow again.

WC is always known for its random groups and people that protect this bullshit bomber hub that Slyce has. I will never forget the back stabs that happened here and TARD will never help these groups again.

Now, the next phase I need from everyone is to keep your heads up (I am keeping my multiple chins up for sure), this isn’t the end. We will be moving stuff in the alliance just as before and members getting free rides to get your stuff out. I need everyone to have your assets in the Fort in Q-G asap and JFs shipping assets out. Capitals, depending on what is left, we are going to try to get a move op done but I suggest you just try and sell them at this point because of the Jump F it will take some days to move your stuff.

I know for some of you this might come as a shock, but realize what is going on here, we are fighting a multi-front fight and we have not had the chance to recover from the move operation from Dek. So, this is the best choice of action in my eyes to make us stronger as a group and give you guys the much needed time to rest and make a little isk as an alliance.

Please understand, I’m doing the best that I can as your leader to improve your game play and to do that changes have to be made at times to do just that. I’m not saying this will be the best move or the shitty move but this will get us a breathing time from this shithole in WC.

I will need JFs that are willing to ship please get a hold of me asap and I’ll need to know JF type and your time frame that you can ship.

Details on where we are going will not be released at this time, so do not ask because I’m going to tell you the same thing here, I’m not releasing that information until we are clear and have a firm grasp on exactly who is coming with us and who is not. CEOs and Directors will know (in due course) but again, are not to release it to anyone or they risk losing their membership with SBS.
