So I'm off...
YUou might know me as Blue Moon / LordQuashi / Behert / BeherTux / BT / TuxedoMask / tuxed0
I've been playing Planetarion since round 1. I've been through good times, and bad times. I've changed nicks so many times I'm sure my psychiatrist would have *something* to say about it, but I have to finally call it quits, and I hope everyone will be okay with that.
I started playing with Vanx or Zava, I honestly can't remember which, with a group of friends from school. We each had 50 planets each, and had galaxies under our control, but we thoroughly enjoyed it, despite the obvious cheating. Round 3 I got me and my friends into a Legion protected galaxy 244:19 if I remember correctly. (man its insane I can remember my coords from all the way back then!). We played well, I ended 3rd, and next round I BC'd a little, and helped some smaller alliances (Shogun/FORT/Eden/Empirium, etc) get on their feet. I remember at one point in the 'block wars' Shogun (an amalgamation of fake-nicks, def-leeches and genuine noobs) were approached by both sides. That's when I knew I made a difference.
The round after that I joined Wolf Pack with the help of my good friends Catwoman and Taraka. WP was my home for a long time, and I treasured my time there. I hope that whenever I come back my name would still be worth something to them. After some discussions with some friends I joined Vision with the help of Legator and Rember. Vision was a nice close-knit community, and I really enjoyed my time there doing a little DC/BC work. The next round I helped out DCing at Seraphim with my good friends Ladybug and zzhou while still getting protection from Vision in the amazing VVOMM wars. That was probably one of my favorite rounds!
Rounds 10-12 I rejoined WP with no love lost, and enjoyed playing half-heartedly (inactively perhaps) for a few rounds while I played extremely actively in PIA as a Šragons Officer, earning quite a reuptation for myself. Still, the community at WP was fantastic
. Now here's a little piece of information you might not have known about me, in round 13 I was officially in 1up which was one of the worst decisions I ever made, and thoroughly regret leaving WP for them. I only went because a few of my friends of mine like Svenn had joined. I hated the elitist attitude and found no sense of community there. At the same time I helped BaSSe and Kaifux start-up Exilition (which to this day I still think we should have named ourselves .exe instead, but oh well!). I became inactive after I was marked as 1up, and played out the rest of the round in random galaxies, very half-heartedly, and with the intension of not playing r14.
As fate would have it, I found myself bored witless so when r14 came I had no excuse not to play. I joined Hydra to be with some of my old PA/PIA friends, and despite missing ticks, and being an unpaid planet until tick 31, I ended 2nd, and top Xan, now, at what would have been tick 120 or so. To be honest, my heart was never in it, and as my galaxy would tell you, I'm not interested in playing anymore. I honestly think something has gome horribly wrong in PA for someone like me to be top anything (as I said to my friends today in #reunion) but oh well...
I will put my planet in vacation mode, but probably have no intension of returning. Infact I will try to let my IRC nick die so I have no reason to return and agree to 'one last round' hehe
Over my time in PA I have seen people change, alliances and the game evolve into what it is today and with it all the good and bad times they have brought.
I'd like to wish all of my friends (too many to list) the best of luck in their 'PA careers' and that they can catch me on MSN anytime.
