As Much as I Love Diplomacy...

[Shinigami]

I'm getting the fuck out of here. :)

It's true. I love this game, you guys are great, but... Shit, my life off the internet's a mess. I just posted all the details in the staff forum and I don't feel like reiterating, so I'll just say that I need to free up as much time as possible to pull up my grade and find myself something to do. Anything other than being online. After five years of fun in the, er... Fun in cyberspace, I guess, it's time to end it. What started as something so wondrous I couldn't stay offline has turned into something that's so central in my life that I can't get offline. That's no way to live. So, I'm out. Two and a half months, minimum. You know, the rest of school, basically, and hopefully most of the summer. I'm so sorry that this is so sudden and that I'm leaving so many games behind, but... I came to the decision yesterday and this s just something I have to do and I have to do it as soon as possible. While my fire's still burning.

I'll miss Diplomacy a lot... Oh, and you guys, too. ;)

Have fun, stay in school and I'm sorry for pissing you guys off by opening up slots in all your games, not to mention I'm sorry I didn't get to making that Modern map, so... Here are the orders I recieved via PM for whoever might take that game over:

Britain
F Gib-Sog
F Lon-Nth
F Edi-Nwg
F Liv-Iri

Ukraine
A Kiev S Russia A Moscow-Bielorussia
F Sev-Eastern Black Sea
A Ode-Rumania
A Kha-Don

Germany
F Ham - Hol
F Ber - Bhm
A Mun - Aus
A Fra - Sax

Italy
A Mil - Swi.
F Ven - Adr
F Nap - Maltese Sea
A Rom - Tus

Someone can take over Turkey and get orders in for that country. I wouldn't want to mess up the first turn for whatever player takes my place.

It's been great getting to meet all of you and playing alongside (or against) you, as well. Good luck in whatever endeavors you may undertake.

I know the feeling. Same thing has happened/is happening to me. I'm burning myself out and I know it..don't do so yourself. Get your life on track and then come back, ya'hear?

[BlackHawk]

Damn, so sorry you'll have to leave, but school is more important then forums / the internet. Unless of course you rack in 1 mil a year off of some sort of internet business...which we all have a 1 in a million chance of having :(. Sorry you have to leave, but hopefully you can get your life back on track and rejoin us in a couple of months or so.

And if no one disagrees I can try and GM the Modern game, though it would be my first (we all have to start somewhere), and there may be some goof ups. But yea, I'll see what everyones opinion is.

Bye again Shini, take care.

'Gami, it won't be the same without you, have fun with your future, and best wishes for it as well.

We'll miss your expertise.

BlackHawk, If you'd rather have your first GM job be a smaller game, I'll gladly take Modern.
There's an open slot, you're welcome to start a game.

[TheGreatBrain]

*Sniff

It won't be the same without you...

[Subjukator]

I know the feeling Shinigami. But five whole years? Yea, it sounds like an addiction; cutting off your supply seemes like a good bet.

[Battlecruiser]

I think the same is happening to me and your only about one year older than me. Uh oh...

Anyway good luck, we will miss you.

[Shinigami]

I miss me too. I wish I would come back some time soon. *Sigh* It just isn't the same...

[Subjukator]

Come back soon then Shinigami :)

[Whiteknight]

If you come back soon, I can remove your name from my sig, freeing up characters. ^_^

[Maegtelluma]

lol yeah, be back for imperial (at least i think that's going to happen....;) )

[Shinigami]

If you come back soon, I can remove your name from my sig, freeing up characters. ^_^
I was meaning to bring that up, actually.

*Ahem*

I'm baaack! :D

[Whiteknight]

I was meaning to bring that up, actually.

*Ahem*

I'm baaack! :D
Done and done.

Welcome back, some new games are going to start soon, some others have spots that need to be filled (with Cygnus leaving :(). I see they made you moderator again, too.

[Shinigami]

Of course! When I came back, AJ was tripping over himself trying to re-promote me. :)

[Maegtelluma]

I was meaning to bring that up, actually.

*Ahem*

I'm baaack! :D
Oh. Snap.

Welcome back man!

[TheGreatBrain]

Words cannot express the joy I'm feeling...

;)

[Shinigami]

Then why don't you marry him!?
...
Damnit.

[Subjukator]

Words cannot express the joy I'm feeling...

;)

I'm getting that same feeling...

;)

[Shinigami]

Is my Gaydar broken, or are there strong homoerotic vibes surging through this thread?

[Modred]

Ok Gami, you have an opportunity to get in on my invitational...however I have opened up the last spot to the public...so hurry. ;)

Welcome back.

Imperial won't be starting till next month.

[Modred]

THIS IS A NEW POST:

Hmm...testing something out here.

Anyway, the spot has been filled Gami, sorry.

[Whiteknight]

Hmm... that's quite odd. Apparently the merging thing doesn't work over an hour or an hour and a half... =\

[Modred]

Yeah, I didn't know the merging thing existed until a while ago, so I though I'd try it out again...but 2 hours apparently beat it.

New Post:

But this one should merge...

[Shinigami]

Testing your powers in my thread? I'm touched. :P
