Bye, guys.Follow

After about six weeks out of the game, doing things I never thought I'd do like learning to cook and starting to get in shape, I tried again to get back into it. And I realized what I've really known all along: the game holds nothing more for me. I met the love of my life here; what else could I really ask of it?

So I bid you farewell, Bismarck. I got het up and upset over you more times than I could count, wasted over $200 on the Fan Festival and all its accoutrements, ranted and raved and schooled and was a general ***** on these boards. And cared way, way too much about karma. I was a sage for all of three weeks, good for me? I wasted near on three years of my life here, hot on the heels of wasting nearly twice that on roleplaying online, and have come to the realization that at 26, I have wasted eight years of my potential. I'm not saying the game is a waste for anyone else, but it sure as hell has been for me.

It's been fun. Hope you find another forum policeman, not that you need it anymore. I'm sorry to anyone I pissed off over the years; I'll miss the people I came to care about. I don't think I'll ever be back.

Take it easy, guys. Sorry for the ****.

Byaina, you will be sorely missed! I have learned much from you whilst reading these boards. Please come back! But alas, you must do what is best for you! Don't ever forget us!!!
Luv ya!

Ya know i never got to meet you in game. I saw u a few times here on the boards and that was all.
It is always sad to see an older player leave. take care and as the aiel say in wheel of time "May you always find shade and water."

Wow... didn't see this coming lol

Sounds like it's for the better though ^^ So take care of yourself eh? Was nice knowing ya for sure, keep in touch on the boards if ya can find the time for it :)

Thanks to all of you guys. This is all getting me more choked up than I was expecting. Thing is, I said farewell to the game in my heart and soul a long time ago, but not to the people, and that's definitely the hardest thing to leave.

We're planning on having a farewell party for Gun and me to give us one last sendoff and a few last good memories to go out on. Tentatively it's scheduled for Saturday night, so clear your schedules now if you can :P There will be punch and pie, and signing crystals so I can spread my name over Vana'diel before I walk off into the ether. We'd love to see you all there.

I feel badly that I never got the chance to play with you in game. From what little I've posted, I've always looked to the ones who have been doing it more than I for good tips and content. Thank you for your contributions. If you'd like, I can write a bit of a farewell story for you (and Gunslinger). PM me here if you'd like that! ^_____^;;

I'd just like to point out that you were able to get Sage again. =) If I had the game active right now I'd log in and join you for that party!

Yeah, I guess it wasn't all bad. I didn't realize how cynical my post sounded... I'm just bitter realizing what I could have been doing with all the time I spent here instead. Over 140 days logged here, that's CRAZY. God knows there were some good times, but there were also a lot of times I tried to plan good times and nobody came through. This has been a long time coming, so...

Party Saturday night, it may in fact include one last Moronathon - Gun wants to start in Sandy and head for Xarcabard, I think he's nuts - it'll start around 8 EST and we'll stay as long as there's people there with us. If you want something signed by me take a look at my craft skills and let me know whatcha want, or else you just might find something totally random in your inbox :P I'm going to see about selling the stuff I don't give away and try to come up with enough to make my first and last vermillion cloak, to be given away to one lucky customer.

And if any of yall want to keep in touch, e-mail me at rachaar at gmail dot com, AIM SaffoStarr, or come over to the Midnight Ocean on Puzzle Pirates, a game I can actually play for half an hour and be satisfied. I'm Byaina there too. And I highly recommend it. :P

Take care Byaina, I sent you a PM

We only met in game once but you know just from reading your posts here you're one of only about..oh...four or five...people here that I can truly say I respect. Take that for what it's worth I guess, being a message board. :p

Heh well seriously it's not gonna be the same without you here, there's not going to be much sanity left here after awhile.

Take care and have fun.

Bye Bya, You and Gun always rocked in my book. I know the feelings you had on the game, I felt the same way. I hope life brings you and Gun all the happiness you deserve and more.

Byaina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this sucks, now i have to write your goodbye also...

/cry

anywho, you guys were one of the coolest couples i knew, and i'll miss sending you random /tells. I know you've made a major decision, but i'm still hoping you just suspend your account and surprise us sometime. Now who will I send various crafting supplies to? Take care of you both.

I'll close the same way I closed Gun's...

"May the best of your past be the worst of your futures."

well shat /em waves farewell
