I made it known that I was quitting very soon, and I have been contemplating it for the past 2 months. Today is the day.
I started off with clans in early 2010. I was hooked, and ROBLOX had no other appeal to me than war groups. I spent my early days in the clans we now consider classics, and I still have feelings of nostalgia every now and again.
I received ownership of Imperium Empire on August 5, 2013, in a deal between myself and woot3. Without a doubt, it was the best decision I had ever made on ROBLOX.
We accomplished a lot in a short time. We weren't the best clan, but I sure as hell had more fun with IE than any other game I've played. Regardless of the bandwagon against us, the 'Empire Empire' ordeal, and whatever opposition we came face-to-face with, I didn't mind. I never tried to take it too seriously.
No, IE will not be passed down to a successor. Instead, it is being left as a memory of what once was. Though my decision is controversial, it is final, and there is nothing that will change my mind. There is no one I trust to fill my shoes. Do not take it personally.
I am a very modest person. I tried to be humble. I simply never acquired the proper amount of resources to keep IE on top. I never asked for your respect, nor did I expect it. I am proud of what I accomplished as leader.
I did not accomplish everything on my list, but I am left with no choice. IE simply hit a dead end. I do not accept donations. Keep your money. You earned it, as I have earned what I have now.
Perhaps it was that, my resistance to aid, that was our downfall. But that is my fault, and IE is my burden to bear, not anyone else's. I didn't mind the little hate that we got, however. It was fun to get the attention, as odd as that may be.
In the event that I do return, which is significantly below a 1% chance, I may return with a different state of mind. But that is a very big 'if'.
Regardless of today's events, I have received a plethora of support from many people, that which I am grateful for. I will miss being recognized as the 'IE leader' when I enter games.
Members came and went. I got used to it. But great things must come to an end. I am sorry to those I have let down. My time on ROBLOX has become increasingly limited, and I will be focused on studies very soon, as well. Perhaps a route to the military wouldn't be so bad, either.
I am much older than those who I've played this game with. I've moderated my time on ROBLOX, but there are other dreams I'd like to chase, as well.
This was expected, but I'd like to make a few shoutouts, too, before I take my leave. (CTRL+F if you're curious!)
JasonIIII - For setting up the foundation of my time in clans and providing me with one of the best experiences on ROBLOX. Frized - You became the closest friend I've made on this game.

I am sorry if I missed anyone.
Tired.
I did my best to be the ideal leader. It wasn't enough, and I didn't have much to work with, either. I played as fair as I could. I'm glad I left an impression. Thanks for the support everyone.
If you'd like to keep in touch, I'll be making a separate Skype soon. Ask around, someone here is bound to know it.
Sorry to those who I let down. I felt no other alternative.
I'll never forgot the times I've had here. I wish to say more, and perhaps I will at another time.
Goodbye. It was a good run. No doubt.
- Tom

| I didn't expect for this to happen so soon. It was really fun while it lasted. IE was one of the funnest groups I have ever been in. Good luck to whatever you decide to do later in life. The people of IE will never forget you and the great things you did for us. <3 |

We had a lot of fun over IE's lifetime. I'm sad to see IE, and all the fun and friendship that came along with it, come to it's end, but inevitably it was going to happen one day. IE has come such a long way since I joined back in late 2013.
Thank you IE, for the fun memories, the unforgettable battles, and most importantly the friendship and camaraderie. I'll never forget.
RIP IE 8/10/14

A few days ago you said you'd be damned if you went down without a fight. Damn you.
I will miss you and IE greatly. |

"Screo - Wonderful high rank. I am sorry it ended this way, truly."
It's cool man, I had fun while it lasted, I'm also sorry it ended this way but things will happen like this, this isn't the first time this has happened to me but It's ok. I tried to convince myself if things got better you would stay but that was not the case, I'm fine with your decision, you took IE and made it something great, that's enough of an accomplishment on this game. I was expecting the RAA war to be a complete blowout but we managed to get atleast 5 wins on them.
Good luck out in the real world Tom. |

It's saddening to see you leave. You're truly a talented person and the real world could use talents like your own. You were friendly, gave great advice, and loved to have fun.
Thanks for being a great friend, leader, and role model. |
