If no one minds, I'd like to speak on behalf of the Ducks for a moment.
And so it is with the conclusion of the Cogs Season 2, and the end of a very intense few weeks, that Squash has officially retired as Mother Duck, leader of the Ducks.
This is an important and sad day because Squash is, in no small part, responsible for a significant amount of the ducks success as a clan, both competitively and generally. What started as 3 friends just trying to find a good crew-based, tactical ship combat game to play, has evolved into (one of) the biggest clans in the game, filled to the brim with awesome, good natured people and xemko (
), with the best competitive spirit I’ve seen in just about any game, and boasting 3 separate competitive teams all with excellent players. There is a reason people tend to gravitate towards joining the ducks; it’s always been a safe, friendly, fun and welcoming environment for everyone because of the close-knit community we have been able to build for ourselves.
There’s no other clan I’d rather be a part of, and leading the impact that the ducks have had on Icarus is a fantastic accomplishment. We’ve influenced meta, been involved in and supported the community, and everyone knows who the ducks are, from competitive veterans, to random players in the Muse AmA asking ‘what’s with all the quacking?’
A lot of this would not have been possible without Squash at the figurative helm. The new leaders have big shoes to fill, but we have a good example to go by.
Thank you, Squash. May you find the peace you are searching for.
