Well, in an attempt to keep the thread somewhat relevant, and to fulfill my pledge to try and represent ~IMP~F here, I would like to announce with a bit of sadness that ~IMP~U has been disbanded and the remaining members assimilated into ~IMP~. Gone are the days of family tribes on W21 (not really, but ~IMP~ family era appears to be over). Arguably the most successful family tribe that I am aware of.
Conspiracy theorists will no doubt take notice of the fact that this action has had the unfortunate side effect of propelling ~IMP~ back into the 2nd place tribe (if there was still anyone that didn't combine the two anyway). I expect, as with many merges, that some people will fade away and our member count go down a bit before leveling off.
Whatever all of you think of ~IMP~F, ~IMP~U was a unique tribe, that took a great amount of pleasure from a casual closeness and intense loyalty to their dedicated leader, UKWildcat. We always called ourselves W21's big 'small' tribe which reached a rank of #4 in its heyday.
It was an enjoyable ride, and we are proud to say that we gave out a few lumps as well as being on the receiving end.
It's not a world changing event by any stretch of the imagination, but we now all march under one flag. It will be interesting to see, I suppose, if the combined leadership and player dynamics will help or erode the tribe. It's worked well for some, and been disastrous for others in this world's history.
Thank you for your time, and I will now return you to your regularly scheduled spamming.
