Much respect to P_L and jamal who ran it for how long, was my 2nd favorite squad I ever joined way back in the day. It was the right thing to do though, spastic was dead and wasn't going uphill at all. They had a pretty active core but not active enough it was always the same people playing TWD for them and a lot of people are settled into their TWL squads for the most part so it was hard to recruit and bring it back from the dead. Nice run though while it lasted like I said before, much respect.

Well this thread really wasn't necessary and is highly annoying. There's a good chance it'll be back later today, anyway. This has happened before...

...but if not, oh well.

not sure if this is a real dissolve or a hacker dissolve. if it's real, then good run, sad to see a staple in the zone go.

[Ressi]

Could just pull a sage and blame it on hackers.

I think Spastic is one of the older squads that is (until recently) active. Most squads simply die away slowly. This was an action taken by PL, so he's trying to send some kind of message. Whether that message be to Spastic members or everyone else, I think only he knows.

This isn't really a big deal whether it comes back or not, I agree with Stabwound. This is just a normal progression of the game. Maybe PL is tired of running a squad?

Anyway, I've only been on two squads, I don't really intend to leave Spastic, I suck at TWD in any squad I might join.

now the people from spastic can join real squads and the zone can progress!!.!>!>.!>>!!

Well, does this mean paladen will once again regain their foothold as the #1 staffer destination that they held for years and years back in the day?

Okay, well, I was kinda just bullshitting to keep everyone together in hopes that Pure_Luck might actually restore the squad roster, but it's not going to happen. The squad is done... for now, anyway.

It was just time. November would have marked year 7 of the squad in it's current form, playing in TWD/TWL, and that's a pretty fucking long time. We were suffering badly in activity of our core players, the field of basing players grows smaller by the year, and for whatever reason people don't want to join old squads. People kept leaving or slowly quit playing and no one would be there to fill their spot. There was a good chance that we weren't even going to make it into TWL, and dissolving was partly because we didn't want to screw our loyal players over. This was going to happen sooner or later; it was inevitable. I'm just glad it happened early enough that everyone can find themselves a new squad before TWL, and that we pulled the plug now rather than struggle through what would most likely be a final, pathetic TWL season.

I have no doubt that this was one of the most fun and chill squads there has ever been, and I would have never stayed on it this long if it wasn't. Most of our players weren't annoying to be on a squad chat with (and that's saying something), and the ones that were didn't last long. There were some emo times, but mostly the squad wasn't hardcore serious about things. We'd have our ups and downs but shit always worked out. PL was the one that held it together most of the time, and he's probably the main reason why the squad lasted as long as it did. A lot of people give him shit, but you can't say he's not a good squad captain. Other than that, I'm not going to name names, but if you were on Spastic for any length of time you're probably a cool person.

Anyway... it's been fun. I always thought I'd be on the squad until I quit this game or it (or myself) died. It feels weird as hell to not be on Spastic anymore, but I look forward to playing with a new squad. Hell, it'll probably renew my interest in TWD/TWL again.

So, yeah. Peace.
