History of ICD
Round 2
The bingeing of ICD can be traced back to 8:4. ICD grow out of smaller alliance in this galaxy k9, B8S and 2 or 3 other smaller ones. Our main function in the bingeing was to
protect smaller alliances partners for attacks. Round 2 was the year of the Thieve and as you know by know ICD based there believes on one main thing defending. So ICD built Thieves and gained score off of defending rather then, setting up major roiding parties, and this work for ICD many alliance testing the defense capability of ICD got destroyed. Such as the war with RB or Reborn one of the mother alliances of PA. At the Time the two alliances where 3rd and 4th in the game. RB with its mass attack plans tryed day in and day out to break ICDs defense but it was no good, the thieves that made ICD a power house where to much for RB to handel. It was to much for RB which soon there after with drew from the war ICD was victouris. A new super alliance was born with the thieve, but soon a new challenger would come. 8:4 the HQ of ICD would soon be tested, we sided with Legion, then tagging VTS, to face the biggest treat to ICD yet. The number one alliance at the time Concordium, at the time
they where tagging WaC, with the combined Strength of Legion and ICD and the leader ship of both alliance, Concordium stood little to no chance, with lack leadership abilities Concordium lost over 2million ships that night. ICD was victorious, but would we stay allied with Legion? ICD did the unthinkable able it broke the back of WaC, but for what for another concordium to take it’s place? ICD quickly drooped alliance with Legion, and played throw the rest of the round, planing for the 3rd round and how they would deal with there new problem, The Legion.
Round 3
ICD tried starting over, but with out the thieves, it seemed to cripple the back bone of ICD. We where still mass producing defense for are members, but we were not getting score or ships from it, do to the loss of the thieves in round 2, ICD had to rethink there strategy, and play a whole new hand of cards. We started mass attacking, but we did it in a way that has never been done, is was called Decoying sending fleets of nothing but
inters spider ect, then pulling them at the last second and sending roiding fleets, this work well for a while when other alliance started to pick up on it, it quickly become a basic
move in PA today. ICD also recruited some of the top players in round 3, Finishing 6th in round 2 helped this cause allot, and ICD quickly grow once more. At the end of the round leadership was high, members ship was high, score where high, but spies where
becoming a danger to ICD, we quickly set up ICDa or Inter Cluster Defense Academy, a process of three weeks, for a jr. member to me active and show us that they could send Max defense when needed and basically too see if you where an all around good player. We quickly allied with some of are old root alliances; K9, FX9, and B8S. These would pay off The Legion had not forgotten us, they quickly targeted ICD galaxies along with
Fury to take out the “rebellious force” of ICD this lead to the fall of our allies, and drove must of our bigger members away, but ICD still finessed strong picking up left over members form are fallen allies and finessed the round 7th in the ranking.
Round 4
Organization become ICD middle name, the slow but steady recruitment, ICD was back on track, but taken heavy losses to Fury over the reset giving up many of are leaders and high ranking players, the alliance was trimmed down to the elite active few, that spent 16-18 hours online a day working for defense, setting up mass attacks, and making new allies, with the fall of; K9, FX9, and B8S, ICD quickly found new alliance to team up
with, as Galaxy, YHQ, Seal, and ViX, this was called LoR. ICD deiced to stay Stealth from The Legion and Fury, This seemed to pay off, if you don’t know where we are you can attack us, but it is feared that we tagged to late, only opening in 78th place in the top 100 alliances, ICD went back to doing what made them big, Defense, but with the loss of thieves in the 2nd round aging ICD fall hard with only salvage to heal there wounds, tired mass attacks to gather spirits but lots them to VeX or now Legion defense and attacks. ICD lost much of it leader ship in the fourth round, but experience was also gained, is ICD throw...............
Round 5
Due to the fall out of such grates as VIRII, Belderan, PP, and such other major ICD HCs of its time, the heart and soul was gone from ICD, but... the blood, sweat, and tears where still running strong, ICD pushed on throw r5, with a new breed of HCs. Aggressive and strong ICD quickly became known as an alliance to not turn your back on. Membership was low, and defense was high, once again ICD fell back on its main trade, supplying defense when needed the most. At this time ICD had taken on some more historical allies as of to date. Patience was born. Forged from the chard remains of such alliances as NewDawn, hirr, and YHQ. Patience was not a at all a failure, but it also was not a success, ICD confused and basically fighting to stay alive made the hardest choice in alliance history, merging with HR or Howling Rain “which is now a wing of NoS” members drooped like flies, some joining Patience allies and some leaving the game in all. ICD was dead........ but its members will live on forever
The End of ICD
The End of ICD was a tragic, it may not have swept throw the game like the break up of WaC, or the fall of BlueTuba. But ICD was one of this games greatest, and innovative alliances that ever was. It is important not to forget alliances like this. ICD was the model for so many of the big alliances in this games time
period, be it the major defense ICD generated, the ways ICD would attack, or the unparalleled organization that they had. ICD is and will forever be one of the greatest alliances this game will ever see.

How can you not mention ImpA? I find it funny that Edge wrote it when he was simply a 'nodoby' in round 2. I know this because I was HC.
ICD round 2 was super for meeting people and I have a lot of great friends from there, but I guess all alliances in round 2 were the same, such was the community.
I left after round 2 and it went down hill ever since (ho ho, only joking).
Anyway, I owe ICD a lot simply for that round 2 fun and the relationships I built up. Nice to see Bel and PP mentioned too.
The RB war was great fun. 3rd V 4th at the time.
(Nice read btw)

I didn't mean it in a nasty way. I remember you joining at the end and being a very chatty fellow.
It may be a little pro ICD but apart from that it seems ok. And you forgot to mention that Virii was a prick.

OI!
What about me
You forgotten about the alliance ICD had in round 4 with YHQ//SEAL//ViX//GLX which i believe was called LOR. This was Virris idea of trying to develop something to try and fight LEGION and FURY, it wasnt all that successful.
Also forgotten to mention that Howling Rain(HR) was formerly a squad(wing) of ICD.
Other pasr ICD greats who deserve a mention are Germania, Misty, Epcylon, Logbat, Landor, DrEggs, Fiddler, Balth, inf, Neonz and a heap of others heh

I would say that he does mean YHQ, as ETY was never involved in Patience I think.

Intresting read, tho im sure DRegg's put together a more 'truefull' version of events about 2 rounds ago...
Alot of major events and major people were ignored , and alot of the founding elements have been left out, but yes essentialy this is the 'public view' history of ICD...
*goes to look for the other version*

r2 ICD seemed pretty poor to me, which is why I left; my concurrent membership of k9 meant that I was rarely left wanting for defence anyway. ICD wasn't very organised, and they were scrambling to envelop smaller alliances to bolster their ranks.
r3 was definately a more organised round for ICD, though I wasn't a member I had a huge amount of contact with 'em.
Your description of r4 ICD was quite accurate on the whole, but I think that the r5 decription was too generous, it was very hard to get defence, and since ICD was hardly one of the big boys then, there were far too many issues involved in being a member of ICD while the large blocks were fighting.
I'm just glad I wasn't around to see the merge into HR and then the partial (?) wing deal with NoS. A sad end indeed.
Oh, and there's no mention of INSANE, who was HC at one time or another, I forget when.

Quad was VIRIIS baby
Patience was Landors
Quad had the opportunity to be amazing, but due to the fact that when it was active of the 40 or so names present 30 were ICD - VIRII felt angered about carrying some of the other alliances - which is basically how it died
Patience had much the same problem, another problem at the time lied with the channel bot and the other alies problems or lack of intelligence to login and join private channel - it was floored from the start and was a non starter
round 4 was my glory time in ICD - i wasnt present at the start (when BS8 were king) but i did play my part (notice u didnt mention me u bunch o cnuts :P) when i was commanding ICDa and all the old skool HC were still there. going thru the old recruitment process of interviewing every applicant for 40minutes - and interviewing constantly for 9 hours...
The fall of ICD was tragic - but when you are up against the likes of VeX and Furgion in round 5/6 (which were lets face it the worst friggin rounds of PA ever) and we are supposed to defend 5 gals with 15ppl online - it isnt gonna happen ffs, the merger was a HC decision, but the final say did lie with me. It was not easy - but ICD will always be remembered and carried by anyone that was ever seriously a part of the community.
I saw that merger through to completion, and grew weary of the game i had once loved. after 3 months when we were fully a part of HR, and safe - i quit PA and turned my back on it for a year cold turkey
Great props have to go to the ICD HC that supported me : Bray, Burt, Fiddler, Misty, Neonz & co. you guys were the best, and were there for me when it went very dark indeed. Other greats were the likes of VIRII, DrEggs and Belderan - the void left by their departure could never be filled
and finally XD212 - i love you man
as for round 9, well... we will see what we see ...

LOR had a smilar problem, 4 alliances and 70% of teh peeps were ICD.
You and Misty, neonz et al done a really good job at ICD, although ICD was never the same after round 3. (Bet it woulda killed FURY and LEGION if they knew ICD managed to have a few top 100 planets in round 3 hehe)

heh nps
i did mention the old gang, i prefered it then - being HC was annoying. Laughing a Belderan's friggin HUGE dogs and DrEggs fighting with Landor was much better
Landor - he was 'interesting'
Pack was a twat
Gandalf dissapeared
DrEggs left cos of Landor's lame ass Furgion defence policies
VIRII left cos he was fuxxed off, but was a legend
You left cos of uni
Beld left for VTS i believe
inf left in the whole K9 episode (which was a great loss - & yes ICDa was ur idea)
Bray left when we lost half of ICD to NoS
Burt dissapeared ffs
Fiddler ... well he was fiddler
Sethmace - Everton are *****, get a shell suit and a scally haircut
Scouse - lol, we never got on ... ever
Misty - u sexy beast
Edge - was Edge
PP - i met once or twice, and was pretty cool
Amun - left with Beld, but was cool
Neonz - well he liked porn a lot
Edge - wrote the history with most typos ever in the history of histories - but still ... he rocks
anyone else was earlier than me
cant remember anyone else tbh

I nearly mentioned you, Dookie, but then I was trying to remember whether INSANE was HC or not, and then I was remembering Haer & Pandion pissing VIRII off (I laughed so much), and then I was disgusted to remember that a chunk of ICD ended up in NoS.
So by the end of my journey, I kinda forgot to mention you, sorry I do however remember that you interviewed me when I joined ICD the second time (ah ICDa), and I was quite possibly in there for longer than any other recruit, down to my having been one of those k9 scums
I also remember that my opinion of you rocketted upon reading xd212's last line in #icd. Oh how I laughed. "ta!"

ICD merged with HR to rejoin the missing links - Sethmace was one of the early ICD HC members, and offered us an environment very similar to the ICD we knew before
HR merging to NoS had nowt to do with me

HR should never have joined NoS. When they did, they gave up on some of the moral values that they had been clinging onto for rounds. The values that made them the great alliance they were.
Friendship, Independence from blocks and large environments. They held on to the thought that a smaller core would make a better relationship within the alliance, and that worked. had this game been built up by all these independent alliances, it would have truly rocked.

I was in ICD rd 2 and then for the first half of rd 3. They were two different alliances. ICD rd 2 was based solely on protecting the little guy from bashers. ICD in rd 3 bashed in order to try and compete. Thats when I left, when ICD left its principles behind. If I was gonna be in an alliance that bashed, i might as well be in the best alliance that bashed. Also the structure of icd went to heck. Squads were a stupid idea. There was also a fairly big political blunder in the start of rd 3, and ICD lost what shot it had of being a big player that round.
ICD rd 2 was great though. Proof of how good a theif is for lower level players. I was a 10 mill planet in a 20 mil galaxy and I never went without defence. It was a good group and alot of fun. The thief led to its inevitable change, as well as the pressures of powerblocks on any individual alliance. Basically unless it had somehow got a nap out of the triad (which it might have been able to) rd 3 was gonna radically change any alliance.
ICD was the #3 alliance in rd 2 hands down, RB was crap, only growing in the end because of support from thier allies. I hope one day the thief comes back and there is another alliance like ICD.

i think Virii left in round 4 if im not mistaken,one of the reasons i left was the lack of agressive ppl in that alliance.and organising attacks was like allmost impossible and god knows i did my very best
but as they say the is nothing like a bad student onely bad teacher`s. But one of the reasons might be that ICD had to many nice ppl,2 nice for theire own good
But i had a great time in ICD and i enjoyed my time in that alliance and in Bregand`darte or what it was called.
OCR you rocked
Virii was maybe 1 of pa`s most unstabile leaders and a really fun thinghy to study.

The ICD spirit still lives on in HR.
It isn't many days between each day I see a post with ICD in it on the NoS forum or seeing someone talking about or mentioning ICD on NoS Net.
and about HR joining with NoS..
well.. it's not changed HR's spirit or comunity.
us joining with NoS has proven to more of a success than we had hoped for. as NoS was compatible with us.
ofc we have our differences. and we hang on to those. as it enriches us. but we couldn't have found a better partner for us.
so don't despear. ICD's spirit lives on.

ICD should have changed their name after a while. After everyone from round 2 had left they were not the same alliance at all. In my opinion, the later rounds just tarnished the good name.

I remember trying to have the name changed but it proved to be very unpopular with the members.

Aye, in rd 2 it literaly was Inter Cluster Defence. A group of small and cluster alliances that joined together to fight bashing and protect small planets.
After the beginnning of rd 3, it was just another medium sized alliance which saw mixed success.
You cant fault the people from later rounds for being proud of thier ICD, but the rd 2 incarnation was somethign special in the history of PA.

You're mistaking 'everybody' for people who read these boards having never spoken to me.
When something changes so much that it's not what it began as, then I don't think it should continue with the same name. Lots and lots of people will agree with me on this.

everything changes from time to time, thats just the normal stuff of life. tell me VtS stayed to same until the end, i can name so many others.
its not like ICD did what WP did....
if you dont wish to associate yourself with the later rounds of ICD, thats fine with me, most ppl know it changed after r2, we lost the glorymakers first i guess, and then the gloryseekers. place yourself among the glorymakers if you wish, i dont care. (your rep i alright anyway, after your successes with Titans, so why even bother with such kidsstuff?)

I don't mean to have a go at you, but it did change a lot, it's main aims, it's command, it's members, even it's structure. Therefore I think it should have been renamed so ICD could have been remember for what it was supposed to be in the first place, and so the new command members of later rounds had a name which they could be proud of.
