I ask that if you are reading this, that you know I'm not trying to be egotistical or "The Big Macho Man" who thinks he has to let everyone on SK know when he's not going to be here (Hence why I put it in probably the least-viewed forum).

I'm just putting this here so nobody wonders what happened to me.

Reading through the forums is tedious, and the Suggestions recently have been...lacking. I think people gave up mostly on huge-essay level detailed missions that weren't given much attention, and left.

Suggestions will always have new players who don't understand some principles of the game, and let's not pretend every one of us hasn't been new to the game at some point. Just like my uneducated "Remove Elevator Passes (Due to economy)" post. I didn't even realize that 10 CE (Potentially) was being saved from being sunk into the game and only focused on the fact that crowns were being made. If that's not narrow-minded, I don't know what is.

So in a nutshell I don't have time for the forums really. It takes up a good amount of time to read through all that, and I usually don't even respond. I hope that some of the more dedicated posters (Hexzyle, Schattentag, Skold-The-Drac, Psychodestroyer, Blue-Phaze, Juances; and several others...sorry to anyone I didn't mention) will keep the Suggestions forums alive with good feedback in my absence. I know my Guild Hall Upgrades/Guild Improvements threads will be in good hands without me here, and I hope they are referenced in the future so nobody has to re-write that Wall of China.

The reason I'm leaving is I have recently taken a greater interest in using 3-D models, and don't have time to do them, school, and games all in a day's work with the forums involved. The forums are just one of a couple things I have to cut down on. I'm currently working with a landscape artist on some game graphics. We just started today and I realized that I had to be more devoted to it if I wanted anything done.

I'm sure I'll be drawn back every once in a while to check on my threads, but I won't be reading every Suggestion post/reply and the works.

Thanks for being awesome, guys. I'll see you in-game.

why?

don't you remember the first reply you ever gave me?

Psychodestroyer

I have two words for you. Shut. Up.

@Sev: Sorry to see you go, I'll miss your posts here on the forums.

Yeah, quality of posters are dropping methinks, more 'trolls' and less serious posts.

Good luck with your newer/better hobbies! if you're gonna be ditching us for those, you better make them worth it!

Cya in game sometime!

Aw, we'll all miss you. I did

Aw, we'll all miss you. I did love the thread of bad suggestions. So now I'll have to hunt for them myself...

You will be missed by all. Even the trolls. I probabbly won't see you unless you are drawn back, because of never having time in game....

Huh, you just inspired me to make a (good) suggestion.

Eventually.

Schattentag

Aw...

It's been a good run, man. I remember the days not too long ago when I'd try to make sure I had the last substantial post on all the hot topics, even if that meant staying up until like 4 in the morning or bust out my laptop in the middle of relatively important classes that probably required my attention just to check for your replies.

Too bad you had to go just as my true colors started shining through, though. With all the crap flying around nowadays, I've been unable to resume the guise you (among others) may know from the past. Not only am I less active, but I now find myself tearing more and more threads to pieces without even bothering to try bettering them. Surely you saw me post in Tsu's thread on people eating toxic jellyfish. Maybe I'll be that egotistical jerk and "Big Macho Man" so y'all don't have to, for better or for worse. Maybe I'll someday find myself all macho'd out and I'll return to being mostly constructive, who knows?

In any case, have fun doing whatever it is you do when you're not on the Suggestions Forum. Chances are we'll still be here if/when you come back.

Skold bows respectfully to Sev

From one knight to another. Been fun. May we meet again. I'll be sure to keep your guild thread alive if only in my little amalgamation of suggestions people have been helping keep like a sticky.

Forumers come and go... but long as we play we still support SK, and those we've met in it. And we always know there's a memory somewhere of us. Maybe not by our given name... but a memory.

(p.s. Sending you my skype name if you ever wanna trade some messages or anything.)

I'm not good with farewells,

I'm not good with farewells, but I must say I'm grateful for the help you've given me and all the posts you've made. All of them.
I hope you'll be back soon but don't you give up on what you're doing; I think this is worth quoting: "If you're gonna be ditching us for those, you better make them worth it!".
Good luck.

Awh.

I'm touched, guys/ladies. I thought this would just go down without being responded to.

I'll still sneak around the forums sometimes, I just won't read every single topic...like I used to. ;P

@Tsu:

Honestly I think you've been here longer than me...you just happen to make your Suggestions debut after I had started. Either that or I'm getting you confused with Gwen...you two use the same avatar. ;P

The problem is for game developers, that unlike that 3-D gun model I made before, these models and renders may or may not actually be going into a real game in the far future. As of now it's all experimental. As such, uploading them to a 3rd party uploader like Photobucket or Tinypic would result in later legality issues. The only way for someone to see them without that consequence is E-mail, and I'd hate to intrude on people's privacy. Sorry! I have recently done research on a game-making system to use as a base for my system, as well as programs that I can use to create the proper extension for said game making system. If it doesn't work, we'd have to program (We meaning my brothers and myself) a whole new system.

Since I am the current sole developer, programmer, animator, modeler, research-to-see-what-I-can-and-can't-do-er, etc., SK might not exist by the time I'm done. lol. One of my brothers is very lethargic, and though he has tons of ideas, he never ever wants to do anything with them. He's content with thinking of them and letting them die. I'm much more serious about developing than that. My other (Progammer) brother, on the other hand, only really cares if he can make money on it. If not, it's a waste of his time.

Furthermore, this isn't the first game we've tried to develop, so he'll be like "Oh sure, you can try that and give up again". In order to show him I'm serious about making a game, most of the developing will have to be done. If I can get my lethargic brother to work with me, we could have a game in a couple short years instead of many years in the future.

Sorry for the wall of text on my own goodbye thread. o_O

@Diamondshreddie:

Your post in the Suggestions that I didn't want to bump was touching, lol. One of my friends actually saw it and whispered me and told me it was there. =P

@Blue-Phaze & Psycho:

I most certainly will try to get my brothers to work with me and have a successful development in the future! You can count on it!

@Skyber:

Nice Spock goodbye. I might steal it if I ever intend to tell anyone else goodbye.

"May your blades never dull".

That was the short eulogy.

That was the short eulogy. Here's the full version:

I make this post here today to give respect my departed friend. And yet it should be noted, in the midst of my sorrow, this departure takes place in the shadow of a new creation, the rebirth of the guild hall, a place that my comrade gave his time to try improve and nourish. He did not feel this departure a vain or empty one and I will not debate the wisdom of these proceedings. Of my friend I can only say this: Of all the souls that I have encountered, yours was the most ... inspiring.

*Peforms Vulcan Salute with music to suit the theme (preferably Star Trek music)*

Live long and prosper.

@Serell:

Ah!!! You guys are putting too much pressure on meh.

I'll do my best...though, at the moment I'm in the primordial stages of it. As in, still looking for a game engine to build it on, and building basic models.

Worth quoting twice. Boohyah.

Chill out Sev, we're just saying you better enjoy it more than you enjoyed telling us about all the stuff we should do to guildhalls and telling us how stupid our ideas were and trying to crush all the newbies dreams :3

You still have to work on that suggestion forum quotes.

I can supply links.

Also, I'm jealous. I want to work with game engines. But I have no experience...

Makes two of us.

You can start a new one and pick up where I left off; just copy paste the quotes I have and add to it. I only check Suggestions every couple days so I miss a lot of them now.
