Topic: A series of unfortunate events
Well hello everyone.. its been a while since i seen these forums ![]()
Some of you may now be thinking 'oh yehh he has been missing'..
Thats fine, i understand i probably wasnt the best known player, or at least a player that stuck in the minds of the players i played with.. but i like to think i made a difference within the community.. sure, my jokes lacked quality, heck some of them were more disturbing than funny but i guess that just made me, me.. ![]()
Id also like to think that pinwheel has lost some of its gayness since i have not walked its corridors for many weeks, ive also heard of funerals recent leaving of the game.. I am now wondering who will follow in our footsteps... It'd be nice to think that pinwheel has missed me, but of this i am not so sure.. I hope that pinwheel has had fun in the meantime, and that the community spirit that has always kept me coming back to the game has not been lost..
How about i give you a little explanation of my recent problems. my main computer, (which always seemed to be plagued with a virus) recently suffered a mahjor setback.. the only way to fix it was using my trial copy of windows xp.. it only gave me 30 days.. once those days ran out the computer was unavailable to use.. however, due to christmas, I was lucky enough to be given a laptop.. thus my i.c adventures continued.. however.. after a long day at college.. i come home to find my sister staring up at me from my own bed.. She sheepishly looks up at me.. and tells me that the laptops broke.. i ask how, " i was playign with this magnet and rubbing it on the laptop and then it shutdown on me and when i restarted it.. well it just wouldnt work.."
So yeh i sort of let my mouth go and shout at her.. ![]()
anyhoo.. we got her old laptop outt (very slow but sort of useable).. however it had a mains power problem.. the power pack heats up to an unbeleivable level.. and it ended up burning through the wire.. we were very lucky to get away with no damage... anyhoww so we now had nothing working.. however my sister then decided it would be fine to use the powerpack for my laptop with her laptop.. the exact same thign happened, it burnt through the wire and once again we were very lucky to avoid a fire.. or an electric shock
That was 3 weeks ago.. i am now only able to use this by using my mothers p.c.. I just thought that you all deserved an explanation.. especialy both my pinwheel and i.c tourny fam..
I guess what im saying is.. now ive managed 3 weeks without i.c and i wont have any way of internet access untill i raise 200 pounds to fix all the problems.. well i have too much of a school life needing me so i dont have time to play anymoree...
This is my message of resignation.. It has been a fun-fillled seven or eight years.. I like to think of i.c as somewhere i could unwind and just be a regular joe.. No more or less important than the next guy.. Part of a community.. Of a family.. I am proud to have been able to talk with each and everyone of you.. There has been some that have influenced me in and out of the game.. Some more than others and they probably deserve a mention..
Before i start the thanks, id like to say that even if you dont get a mention, youve still helped me find happiness here.. and i dont think id be the same person without the influence youve all had.. This game has been part of my life since i was nine years old.. Its had a huge influence on what i know.. Its like i had a second family.. one i could go to when i was feeling down or unhappy.. Youve helped me when i needed it.. and made me laugh.. I couldnt realy thank you enough with just simple words, i hope my deepest thanks is enough ![]()
mentions:
Funeral - My (gay) partner in crime.. We currently hold the record of most games played together in a row for pinwheel.. When there was reshuffles every two rounds we landed the same family 6 rounds in a row i do belive.. So much fun back then
He has been my friend in the game and most importantly my friend outside.. Funeral, thanks for the memories..
Frank - Although i dont think frank plays anymore.. I met him while playing this game and he soon became a very good friend.. We'd spend hours and hours talking on msn.. He is also the guy that taught me most of what i know about computers.. Im so glad that i had the chance to meet you..
Frank, thanks for the memories..
Cloud - Cloudehh.. Always the hated of pinwheel and yet one of my most favoured people.. If anytime cloud had a story to tell I'd know about it.. He has always been there to tell me about his latest adventures, and the things hed found out.. Its been a worthwhile experiance learning what there is to know about the world.. Most of my worldly knowledge comes from him...
Cloud, thanks for the memories..
Frenzy - Well id like to give him a mention even though we were friends for years before i started playing the game and have stayed friends since.. He is a real life friend more than he is an i.c friend but he is a friend nontheles.. This guys always got me into his little plans and the amount of fun ive had doing them.. well i wouldnt swap it for the world..
Frenzy, thanks for the memories
