[My computer is still broken. Half my screen is completely shattered, so ignore some grammatical mistakes that I cannot fix due to my inability to see, and don't think I'm back. It could be weeks, even months until Iron Bloodline returns]
Fellow comrades,
Let this speech be the one that marks my legacy as your commander.
Let this speech be the speech that all of you can look back on, and remember our times together.
All my other speeches, spiels, addresses fall short of the importance, message, and overall idea this speech shall inform of you all of. This is the speech that restarts our legacy, or really continues one that has been great.
I am by no means the greatest leader. I have no idea why I've been so gifted to have been surrounded by such great people, friends who have worked hard to assist me in making the clans I have. Many say I'm washed up, and past my prime, but truly I never had a prime. I've been at the helm of successful clans, busy taking all the credit for things I never really did. It was my council, and friends who really helped me to be successful, and no matter what others say, I'm so grateful, and proud to have reached where we went together, greater than I could've ever imagined. If I've learned anything from clans, it's that power corrupts greatly. I have been burdened by the corruption that power brings to the table, and have lost many friends to ego, pride, and narcism. I have let my selfish wishes get in the way of the true meaning of leadership; respect, kindness, friendship. I've been so absorbed by the will to be great again, that I've forgotten that all my comrades aren't just soldiers, but family. For those who were there, we know that we truly started out just a ton of friends, having a good time, hanging out, and just having fun really. That's how I want to end it.
Iron Bloodline will no longer act as just any other clan that trains like crazy, and then wars with another clan, inevitably calling a tie because the war is dumb, seems like that's every war now a days. We're going to truly become a family. Yes, we're remaining a war clan. That's really why we're here. Difference is that we're not going to be HIGHLY disciplined, but disciplined to the point that everyone is respectful of each other, and our enemies. We're going to enter wars, for fun, and face clans better then us, our level, and worse than us, and win or lose, we fight on, because why not? So many leaders are just filled with the pride thinking losses are the end, but they're just lessons that let you know what you can fix. I don't expect IB to ever reach a great level like TVE or Honor. I don't expect IB to be the greatest sword clan in history. All I want is to spend time with the people that I entered the clan world with, and end our wonderful legacy, as a family. When I say end, I don't mean "I'm quitting soon" I just mean that this is the final step. I told you all I wouldn't leave IB, and my intentions are the same as a month ago. When I quit ROBLOX (No determination when that might be) I will either let the clan serve as a memorial to our legacy, or hand the clan to someone worthy.
Brothers and Sisters, you are my sword, my shield, my mirror that has guided me all this way to be the person I am today. I have made many mistakes along the road, and I'm sure more will be made. It's your persistence, and patience with me that has let us be what we have been. Your hope, and your pride in what our cause is has allowed us to get this far, and truly be a family like no other. Every clan claims that their community is superb to others, but I have never been in a clan with such a close bond like this one. You should be grateful of that, and each other.
Let the rest of the clan world look down on us, and let us be the ones that look up, and realize that we've achieved more together than most clans will ever.
I couldn't have asked for better friends than the ones I have in front of me, and sometimes I forget that.
Honestly, I want to be sent ideas to make this clan what it should be; a family. I already have some in the making, and things will start up soon. I will do as much as I can without a computer, and will find some time to get things done on my half a screen, if I can.
Let us remember friends like TienCookies, n1njak1d99, nicknock33, NinjaOfShadows8, Shadowlite56, Smooks12, Sanche6, Infuscate, rondomedude, McBurger3614, hippihobo, rondomedude, brandon8569, Greeny56, anniekakamousias, sunraysweetheart, lordexodiac, discreetcoolpizza, arliss1707, TheOrigins, and so many more that have made everything possible, but have sadly left us. Let us carry on their final wishes, and legacies that we are to continue for them.
I'd like to take a minute to say a few of the names of those who have followed me ALL THE WAY, and are STILL following me.

Oh, and to avoid SOME haters who think this is me making a long speech because I'm 'returning to leading' I never quit leading, my computer broke, and I'm officially addressing IB, that's all. Never quit.
