RE: 5punkorp announces it is leaving the ISS after 16 months membership.
It is with regret but hope for the future that I must announce the departure of 5punkorp from the ISS alliance.
We have been members since the 25th November 2005 and in that time have witnessed the rise and fall of the starbase IPOs, defended ISS assets and our home systems in bloody and massive battles, dabbled with POS farms, experienced the best (and worst) of PvP, chatted and worked with some fantastic alliance members.
My thanks go to you all for your hospitality and friendship throughout this time. A mark of how much we respect the work of Count and the alliance could be the two members of alliance membership we had in our ranks for a large amount of time considering we joined as a corp of only 20 friends.
We will follow the fortunes of ISS and wish the alliance every success in Geminate and beyond.
The reason for our departure is mostly simple: Constant warfare has been too great a drain on our resources and membership. The last four months have seen some of the biggest battles ever recorded in Eve, and a 5punker has been present at almost every single one. We have always been on the front lines as well as at the back. Our members have produced ships and arms, hauled countless m3 of materiel to the warzones and thrown our biomass onto the pyres. We are going to return to empire to rest and recuperate, to remember why we log on every week or every day, to regain our corp spirit and ethic which has become lost slightly. Our numbers will grow, our strength will return and we will break down the doors of 0.0 again. Whether that's on our own or with an alliance we couldn't say.
To all ISS pilots: Thank you and good luck.
To Count: Congratulations on achieving the impossible with ISS and realising some fantastic aims. I wish you all the best.
To the management: Well done. As diplomats, logisticians and commanders you time and again proved yourselves more than capable.
Fly safe ISS.
Feafalas,
5punkorp CEO.

in there somewhere? 
Friz open forums post:
CEO forum post:5punkorp's off too wrote:It's been great but it's time to go. I've written a longer summary for the benefit of the CEO's but I'll spare you all the sordid details. On behalf of the 5punkers, I wish you all the best of luck and the best of fun in Geminate. As always, feel free to convo if you need help or just a friendly chat. Door's always open.
Fly safe chaps!

It's been a blast and I like to think we have played our small part in the great game. But it's time for us to move on to pastures new. I wish you all the best of luck in Geminate and I will keep a close eye on developments. As always, if anyone ever needs any help feel free to drop a convo my way and I'll see what I can do.
Fly safe guys.
The revision wrote:I feel I should explain in a little more depth. Rest assured that our leaving has nothing to do with recent events - in fact the war has kept us in ISS for 3 months longer than we anticipated. It's may seem unfortunate timing but to be fair, there is no good time to leave.
Last September, 5punkorp had a long discussion about what we considered our gaming priorities, what we enjoyed most in Eve, and what goals we wanted to achieve in the game. We considered everything from disbanding the corp, merging into another corp, or staying together, either in ISS or another Alliance. The most important trend throughout was a desire 'to have fun'. Then IAC set us red. There was no way in hell we'd leave the Alliance during the war and we vowed to stick around and fight to the bitter end, whatever outcome that may be.
So we did. But now that the Alliance is pretty much settled in Geminate we feel that we can bow out gracefully and pursue our own goals. ISS has been very good to us. Count is a visionary leader and although not everyone neccessarily agrees with every management decision, you must make your bed and lie in it. We've had a good time, made some good friends along the way and will no doubt see you around in Eve. Remember it's a game Wink

It was a little cuntish and snappy I admit. Mainly because there've been a lot of tits in the CEO forum winding me up something terrible recently, despite extended efforts to help them in every conceivable way. Ungrateful sods. This is why I think the better half of ISS has left already. Frankly, as wabbit knows, the few of us who fought our way right through the IAC campaign have become increasingly disillusioned with the people left in the Alliance - and most of the corps leaving at the moment are going for exactly the same reason.
