Basil.. it is indeed extremely disheartening when established guilds fold. Even more so when guilds that have been icons in the game are lost.
To all the War Wenches:
I know it was incredibly hard to give up something you built and cherished, but know that you have enriched the Deuces by joining us. I couldn't imagine DW without you Wenches.
I may not have know you as friends before you joined the guild, but when I first started posting on POF I ran across a little thread that I just thought was awesome. A humorous little thread that summed up what it meant to just have fun with the game.

"Fight hard, Shop Hard"

Loved your sense of humor and sense of self then, and am honored to be able to play the game with you now.
You will always be War Wenches to us, "Our War Wenches!"
