Topic: I've pondered long and hard... and this is it.
I won't be back. Unless something goes very wrong, I don't see myself ever having 2 months in a row free or relatively quiet when I'll want or even be able to play ic until I retire in 50 odd years lol. Something tells me IC will have gone by then lol.
I know what you're thinking. "Didn't this douche already retire?" You are not mistaken sir (or madam). I retired almost exactly a year ago. That was because I wanted to concentrate on uni and put more effort into my essays and such, not because I didn't have time to play to be honest. And I was also fairly certain that I would come back. Obviously I did (In June after my exams). But this time it's different. It's my final year of uni and as many have noticed in Cap this past round (especially my own fam - thx for putting up with me) I really haven't had time to do anything but log in and aid once or twice a day, plus of course the odd post in the forum.
Really I should have quit about 5 weeks ago, as soon as I realised that this year would be very busy, and always like that, but I felt I owed it to my fam to see the round out. Now that's done so I'm gone. After Uni, I'll have a shorter summer holiday than normally, and probably be travelling for a lot of it. Then I'm going to law school for 2 yrs - which is apparently more time consuming that uni (great
:S) - and after that to work. So before you all start saying 'he'll be back, he won't be able to resist' - I won't be back because I basically won't have the choice or chance to.
So this is it. I've always tried to be the most honourable I can and I've always tried to make others be honourable as well - in and out of my fam. To any fam members that got annoyed/bored by this - I'm sorry, but I just don't have it in me to act otherwise. I hope I've taught many people what little I know about attacking and especially eco-building, I've never really been sure whether my teaching style is all that effective lol.
There are probably some people I should apologise to: OOC - I love you man but we've had our fights, so sorry for being so obstinate. Orbit - I don't really have much of a reason to be an arse to you except that you're an arse to me sometimes - but frankly that doesn't really make me better
Fam members of 2425 - sorry for being an inactive bastard this round, dunno why you didn't vote a new leader but thx for that
PP - I never really knew you (at all) but we always used to argue a ridiculous amount in the forum and tbh I can't remember why, so sorry for that lol. Can't really think of any others but I'm sure there will be more to add.
WS - you're not getting off that easy lol.
