Nah, the entire @DSM roster was adopted into @BS. Several left after a certain amount of time, for reasons of which I can only hope you are painfully aware Ryj. People not liking the new way doesn't make it any less of a merger.
I believe the wiki is referencing these three games:

Then we lost to @BS in the Tourney:

If you want to edit the wiki to reflect less victories, or to show how much we sucked, go ahead. What was really special to @DSM to me was not "lulzpwnage hurhur durdur", it was that we built something from the ground up overnight, that
nobody expected, and we had a great time. It was a blast, it was
exhilarating, getting everyone together who had so little experience together flying as a squad and playing in competitive games. Every Sunday that I logged in with my @DSM tag to play a game, I felt intense pride and satisfaction at our accomplishment.
This was not some selfish feeling of "Screw you, I did it" to the community. @DSM had a roster filled with active, skilled, and above-all level headed and positive players that just simply enjoyed what we had jointly created. If @DSM was ever about me, it was not because of the squad, it was because every single time anyone
outside the squad said anything about it, my name was attached to it. But for what seemed like the longest time, we persevered.... and every moment of it was worth it.
When the drama caused us to lose two of our dedicated pilots, leaders, and above all gentlemen... we had to make the decision to go on, or try to find another way. I believe I recall a strong desire among the active squad base to roll on. But as players stopped playing, SPQR disbanded, and people just started vanishing off the face of Allegiance, we had to come to the terms with the fact that we could no longer show enough players. So I did what I thought was best, and discussed with the members our last possibility: Merging with another squad so that we could all, jointly, still play competitive games together.
And so we did.
Would I do it again? Every time I play Allegiance I only wish I could. If there was a God, he would give this game more players.
