Well ... it's been one hell of a ride since Maple.net but I do believe I need to move on to bigger and better things. First things first.

------------------------

Femsilsol was probably one of my most fun characters I have ever had. Mainly because he managed to pull together a fair amount of allies from all over, and that gave him a fair amount of exploring and interacting to do. He was Utility/Defense and had Deer/Scorpion/Ostrich/Hare/Orangutan/Crocodile. Crocodile is the most amazing tank there is, hands down, no question. Anyone who travelled with me in some of the situations we got into will agree with that. I saw things with this character I hadn't seen in the last 7 years, including his fateful trip to the Inferno. I was the Magistrate in Tar Valon, and let me tell you I saw enough action there, not what I was expecting. I didn't get into tribunal until lvl 46 so I was a patient sort. One of my favorite things to do was goad Criminals, and those of you who were frequently in trouble with the law know what I mean.

Futaleufu - I think your doing a great job with the Tribunals. Your quieter than I expected for a bard Provost, but that's just me.

Queesha - If I would have stuck around I have a feeling we would have explored every square inch of Thera. Always had a good time with you.

Aenail - Thought you were a fun Bard, DRUNK. Sorry about how some of those things .. ended.

Jesrelres - A strong and steady rock of the Tribunal, the laws are tatooed to your backside. hehe. I have little doubt that you will be the next Provost.

Farnsworth - We really didn't have many in depth conversations, but I must say we went down with a bang, thanks again.

Straklaw - Whenever you were wanted I knew that you were going to be passing through Tar Vaon. I have no idea how many times you spinebroke me and then just passed through, it was a blast

Griimbling - Always had a blast interacting with with you. Your a fun character, and one who I fought both with this character and with my Felar Dagger experiment .. Rrelelies. Still up on you. Hehe.

Thornacrull - Knew you as Rrelilies and fought you as Femsilsol. That last battle on the river made me laugh, you and the invoker fighting me, and you just plainly asking if I would please die this time. Hehe. Sorry about the Coward bit, it was Femsilsol honest.

Each and every Immortal - A heartfelt thank you

Tsyla, Keilliston, so many others I am forgetting .....

No I didn't delete because of losing my set. Getting a fair hp set is easy for a Shifter. But man it was nice while I had it.

-----------------------------------

I was laying in bed the other night, about 1 am and I started thinking about where I am in life, and some new challenges I am taking on. I am 30 years old, have a wife and two kids. I am in the process of finishing up my Real Estate license and have been accepted by the #1 brokerage in town, things are good. Then my thoughts drifted to CF and I started thinking of char class cominations, and roles etc etc. and fell asleep around 3. This .... is the problem. I really dont trust myself to be able to restrain my playing. When I go to bed, I ALWAYS think of CF at least a little, something I have done, or is coming up etc. Plus my "just one more hour" sessions that leave me with 5 hours of sleep a night. It's time I took the same amount of dedication I have put into playing CF, and put it into other areas of my life.

I love CF, there is nothing like it anywhere. All of you reading this note know that. The immortals here are truly dedicated to making this world better for all, and to looking down at their creation with something akin to a parents love, I would bet the farm on it. When I think of the 10's of thousands of man hours CF has been around and changing, and all of it for free ... it shocks and amazes me, and I am so happy that someone took the time to create something for me (and you, and you) to enjoy so much. Maybe I am going on and on a bit much in this aspect of my note, but it's my opinion that far to many people take this game for granted, and forget that CF doesn't exist in a vacuum, and a hearty "Good fucking job!" should be offered up on occasion.

I am basically the King of rank 30 something characters, and I do believe I have had at least one of each over the years. All started with Beladorizid, the Paladin Knight of Thera who married a AP (who is now (or was) an Imm if memory serves *wink Dylan*. Marsuel, the first (and only if I remember right) Conjurer tat'd follower of Uller. Krikeles the Mad Prophet of the Lurker ... just to many to count, and I enjoyed them all.

I enjoyed my time here, won a few role contests, met some great people. I only hope any new players reading this have half as much fun with CF as I have had over the years.
