The decision of leaving ZAFT is not something easy. It has been there in our minds since the osw ended against UC/Apoc. Time and again we will come back to the topic of leaving and time and again we can't bear to do it as the ZAFT clans were rebuilding. RedStar, Cella, myself as well as many other good frens and warriors would like to take a back seat and just partake the events and wars that devs launch and enjoy each other's company without all the drama inbetween the bigger alliances. Is there really a good time to step down? Well it's always circumstantial. RL, team goals as well as how the few of us want to change the direction we were playing. The decision to leave ZAFT and change our direction in KAW has been long decided but we kept delaying as we feel for ZAFT as a whole although we want to proceed with the change. Red, Cella, Silph myself as well as many of us together with ZAFT family have had played great osws and of cos with their stature in the game funded in every 1. It has come to a part "we've been there we've done that" stage in our KAW career that we wanna have some undisturbed KAW leisure time just clowning around in cc and enjoying the company of a small but loving group of game companions with out having a sudden knock on the door with bombshell. Though we left in what looks like bad timing, and without a doubt we will receive a lot of bad press but each individual has their own playing ideals and that we decided to pursue it. We would like also use this opportunity to thank ZAFT for allowing old school players like us to relive what the game was once like years back with the last osws we fought together as well as the great ee seasons we done together. With deepest appreciation and affection we wish ZAFT family all the best. Best Regards On behalf of the squad, KAI. Side note to a particular forum post that says I hire hit with ss showing incoming, I must thank you for broad casting what makes me look pretty good in those ee wars ( well I maybe wrong but where is the ss of the hire and there after immediate inc?） those who knows me knows that my ally shop is open almost 24/7 unless WOC casted ( which I normally change banner to give myself time to bank for ee wars ) ️my ally shop is still open to date️ Ps KAI
