Calling it a day
There comes a time in every mans life when he has to reevaluate his priorities - this time has come for me. During the past 13 rounds Ive sacrificed everything for this game. Ive lost a job, quit school, done drugs - not a pretty picture. It is time for be to move along. I need to finish school - and that wont happen if I continue playing planetarion. I need to change my lifestyle, and that wont happen if I continue playing planetarion. Its been one hell of a ride, and Im glad I came along, but every good thing has to have an end.
Id like to thank a few people for their participation in this experience:
GoE, Peace Keeper, Siliconslayer - the first real galmates I had.
Havoc - For accepting me to Elysium.
Talmage - For bringing me into the officers lounge.
Koloth, Cheerios, Stress, Storebo, Soben, Eylisia, Butter, Stifler, XtoTheZ, Racer, isotee, d-sun, kaos, sakera, Guran, Flisher - You were all great friends in elysium.
1up - For showing me how this game is supposed to be played.
Synthetic_Sid - For showing me what true leadership is.
Idler - For being my loyal(?!) galmate for 3 rounds
Mazzelaar, Cayl, Tis, Zhil - For being great HC and good friends.
Pig, jerome, Linkie, Dreadnought, TheDude, Cypher, Yupster, Aif - For being great friends and the best ally mates one could ever ask for.
Forest - Noone declares war like you mate
sepa - For always being there when I needed a scanhoe
Jesterina - Your pedantry has made me a better man!
Holyboy - Viking poah > j00
Other than that, Id like to thank Spinner & Fifth Season for making a great game, Jolt for ruining it, Phil & Co for keeping up with all my #support spamming, and all the enemies Ive ever faced for making this game interesting.
This was a tough decition, but it was one that had to be made.

Re: Calling it a day
Hope you finish school and get off drugs and all that. I was where you are not two years ago, and I know how much it sucks. For what it's worth you're doing the right thing.
Fare thee well and Godspeed.

Re: Calling it a day
one of the few people who are fun to compete with gone
happy you made a smart decision tho (atleast I think so) you should never have a game mess up your life like that and I hope you get stuff back on track again. Too bad I never got to know you so well since we both ended up on different sides after ely split, but Im sure you were atleast as much fun to play on one side with as to play aginst

Re: Calling it a day
This is a really sad day for pa, theres very few people who come and go, who have an effect on the community but you are by far one of them. Your an awesome MO, an awesome ally mate, a great friend and always a laugh. Its been fun knowing you, and when you finish school and make it to university then maybe just maybe play part time
