as can be seen by the time stamps, I havent updated in awhile. RL atm has things more than a little confounded, and time is an issue. For now, I'm "retiring" from running the organization.
The game, doesnt allow for such to be readily organized and operated. Unlike a guild where levels are updated, indicated etc; this requires constant manual monitoring. Time is an issue.
And the biggest concern, problem whatever you choose to call it...infiltration. Seems we became enough of a threat to some, that they found it advantageous to insert their own operatives if you will. More than a bit irritating, when I get messaged from a target, advising me they are looking fwd to XX:XX hr when our hits begin. The downside to that, is they then have time to organize an on-hand reception party and my guys exposure to risk of delevel rises exponentially. As 'founder', I have something of an obligation to do what I can to 'protect' them from unnecessary risk.
So...until I find a way of filtering out information leaks and plugging those gaps...I'm retiring the network.
To my clients...I say thank-you for your business. I hope we achieved your end wishes.
To our detractors, I say
Your threats, your delevel counter-strikes, your bluster and bravado....*shrug* meaningless. We knew the risks we assumed as mercs and we continued anyway. A level, aint nuthin but a nr and we can recover whatever you can take.

Having worked with Jharryl in the past, I'm hoping that my own efforts to fill his, admittedly large, shoes will not be in vain.

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....
after 13 years...I'm back (in the saddle again) in the immortal words of Steven Tyler and Aerosmith.
any thoughts about my reinstating this organization?
any REAL interest?
yeah, pricing would change. This WAS written and executed, 12 and 13 years ago after all. lol
edit: No Prop...it was not a ruse. There are still a very few players around today, who were here then. A couple, were even hitters who took up the contracts I coordinated. Of course, they were level 200 then, and level 3500 or some such now but...hey...it's all good. Everyone, can bleed.

Yeah it's still a great idea, harder to pull off tho with bigger level gaps.
