A note is tacked to the nearest wall
[i]It is over. All of our efforts have been broken apart. I no longer wish to lead. I am not worthy of leading this many people... Please, go elsewhere.[/i]
There is a piece of the note that is folded up
[spoiler][i]for now.[/i][/spoiler]
Near the note, there is a plaque placed on to the only remaining tree. It reads:
[spoiler][b]Here once stood a mighty place, a place to fight, a place to reconcile with friends and foes alike, a place to be free, to let creativity flow and fill the hallways with inventions, ideas, and the will to fight, the will to fight for what we thought was right. Fallen by many, it stood up time and time again, only to fall unto itself. "What stands must fall", and so it did, and it fell leaving a mark on the people who came, the people who we lost, and the people who we helped, supported most in their times of need. We left a mark, and it was a damn good one at that. Many have fallen, many have been lost, but we still moved forward until it came too much. But until the very end, we did what we did best: we fought. Our wills clashed until the end, and that is all I could ever ask for. Here once stood the mighty Dojo, the Dojo that was and always will be, my home.
[I]And always remember, even if we don't meet again, you will all be, in my heart. -Alonfé, The Archsage[/I][/b][/spoiler]

Edited by Alonfé: 5/18/2015 11:02:54 PMI know all you guys think this has gone to shit (which it has), and being pain-in-the-ass-optimistic as I always am, I'm not about to give up (also a pain in the ass virtue sometimes). We canstart this again, we can make this perfect, in it's prime again. The only way this is gonna work is if we drop the pissy attitudes and man the -blam!- up. This place has gone to shit, but as nature does it's thing, even shit has it's chance at making a comeback. So I'll still be here, and I'll maintain the place till you people get a brain and look past yourselves and maybe to other people, maybe how you've made them smile or hurt them, and right the wrongs. My word might mean nothing, heck, compared to Phoenix my word is as shit as this place right now. But if you'll listen, please, think. And it's no ones fault either, just some people leave that we hold close, some people leave when you need them most, and the hurt is real, I know. But carry on in their name, they wouldn't want to see you like this. Most importantly, DONT let them see you like this. After every Dark Age comes a Golden Age, and vice versa. Take history for example. All I know is that I'll be here when the Golden Age returns. With or without some of you, my friends, my family, I'll carry on. Cuz some of us learned the hard way.[spoiler]I can't lose the only people who truly gave a shit about me, so if not for others, [b]I[/b] need you guys. Please think about it.[/spoiler][spoiler]And this better mean something to some of you asshats cuz I cried typing this.[/spoiler]
