So this is how ATEN ends...not with a bang, but with a whimper.
I had thought I had retired from W2 P&P, but the passing of this once mighty family demands a eulogy that it deserves.
This was the family that has stood against all adversity. The family that once saw most of the world arraigned against it. This was the family that always declared that it would stand by its allies regardless of consequence. This was the family that said that it would never forgive an enemy. Sadly, it has now merged into its former enemy. It has gone the route of Xig and STW and formed a new CEG. After all, what can be said of the merger between ATEN and LWS...simple surrender.
After all the battles that we have fought together. Battles against Sortland and Steeveo, Chika and Smug and the others of the South East, now a distant memory and forgotten. The heroes that had fallen: Congo, NeoNMD, Bad_Monkey and the others, their memory is simply trampled on in the name of mere survival. What marvels do I remember of the ATEN of old. How Congo stood against all of WB1066. How ATEN persevered alone against RUM. How ATEN fought against HOT, TW and the rest of the world. Those honors now so much rubbish in bin of history.
It is the old ATEN that I will remember. How appropriate is that tomorrow is Remembrance Day.
