Official Notice: Faction Disbanded

[pieguy259]

As of right now, the PanGalactic Travel Company is hereby disbanded. We're dead already, really, and no amount of shared liners or mercenary wings or RP events will change that.

Why are we dead? Well, let's look at the facts. PanGal always has been a RP faction. No pew pew pew, no vast profits, just the joy of prattling on about the wonders of Stuttgart or the mysteries of Sigma-17, and you know what? Nobody cares. It's all blue messages, or hunting blue messages, or sitting around in some stupid asteroid field for hours upon hours not saying anything, just shooting at rocks amassing money to buy huge ships bristling with guns to GET blue messages. Mercs are everywhere. Miners are everywhere. Roleplay is not. Nobody wants to hear about the striking beauty of Omega-3 or anything except "Player X has been killed by Player Y (Gun/Missile)".

But you know, we tried. We opened up a supply division for those people who didn't want to trade passengers. We got maybe two or three takers, one of whom just vanished into thin air. We established an exploration division for people who fancied flying around under PanGal colours to far-off systems. No interest. We even MADE OUR OWN MERCENARY WING for people who wanted PvP. Nobody joined at all.

So, PanGal is done. Finis. Kaput. Good luck to whoever wants to try for the next OSC official faction, because you'll damn well need it. I'm disbanding it now to avoid the humiliation of having the Admins revoke our status. Cutting off my nose to spite my face, really, but... I just couldn't handle that. We're going the way of our namesake - though Pan Am was around for more than a year.

To all the loyal pilots who stuck with PanGal through thick and thin: thank you. Really. There couldn't have been a faction at all without you.
To Ben: we'll never stop appreciating that 500 mill loan that gave us official status.
And to all the smart-alecs who will undoubtedly be leaving pictures of lolcats or giant "Q.Q"s or whatever other stupid thing in this thread: get stuffed.

Well, best post this before I lose my nerve. Feels like I'm killing my own child, but I just can't stand to see it suffer any more.
