Okay boys and girls, time to wrap it up!

I could probably write pages, but I'll try to keep it brief.

This took some serious thought... any time you put 2584 hours into something (not even counting all the past characters), it at least bares a second glance before you toss it out. But really, it came down to the fact that I don't see myself ever being interested in playing with any regularity again. Real life stuff has become more interesting, and I would guess I've spent no more then an hour a week playing computer games for more then a month now, and I like it. I'm also going to be taking 11 credits next semester, along with working full time and a slew of other activities I've become involved in, so I just don't have the time or the desire to devote the time to CF.

CF has been, by and large, a good experience. It's certainly played a hand in a few poor grades here and there, especially back in high school. However, despite a bad or disappointing event here or there, it has been far more fun then not. I've also met (in real life, or at least outside of the game) some very cool people through CF. That's probably worth more then everything else I got out of it, and I hope to stay in touch with those people. I would encourage players to meet other players when the chance arises, it worked out well for me.

I've been playing since 1995-96ish, it's hard to remember exactly, and that gives me a lot of material to come up with things to say. I liked working with most of the other immortals, although I found it frustrating how hard it became to actually get anything of substance done. I appologize to everyone for the Ruined City replacement, that was my project. I got through a big chunk of it, then just lost interest. It's being finished up by someone else though, so hopefully it will be done soon, with at least some of my original image in there. You'll have to suffer with the dismal RC area for a bit longer. It was fun revamping Tribunal, and I think it's a LOT better now then it was before. Hopefully most people that played it then and now thought so as well. I had some great followers... Odrirg, Alarian, Menon and Jaegrudai stand out off the top of my head. I had hoped to do some more with the Valma Katol stuff, but again, waning interest.

My one remaining goal on CF was to have an evil hero, but I never got there. I had three evil characters in the upper-30s, one Master, one Arbiter and one Imperial. Otherwise I played 90% goods and 9% neutrals. Knights is still my favorite cabal, but some of that may be nostalgia since it was my first cabal also.

If I think of more to write later, then I will. Otherwise you can reach me on my AIM, dwarfknight88. I'll probably stop using it eventually, but I'll keep it around for now. I'll also answer posts here for a while.

In the traditional farewell of the sci-fi fan:
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
