Do Not Edit if you are not MoD



History
Founded November 14, 2006

December 11th, 2006 - Knowing that the "Heroes of the Revolution" will get too much power, and feeling the democracy they established was beginning to move towards a dicatorship, members Sandrob57, Criminal177, and the love machine decided to leave the alliance.

Government Structure
This is the current structure of government for Merchants of Death. MoD fell into disrepair because of the unruliness of its government officials. On December 9, 2006, the four founding members who were still concerned with the wellbeing of the alliance initiated a coup and retook the alliance. Henceforth, Prestonia, Goodwin Almighty, shippo, and Icemann shall be known as the Heroes of the Revolution, because of their concern for this Grand Alliance. Long live MoD!
