If anyone didn't notice (don't really expect you to have) I disappeared from this game and stopped playing over a month ago, and have decided to throw in the towel. Not sure whether this retirement will be permanent or not, but for now it is. So please no longer contact me for earth/omega/FA related issues.

My life has been something of a mess of late, am in my last year of my undergrad at university, made more difficult by the fact that I haven't really been right in the head for the last little while, and have been to some pretty dark places. Almost admitted myself to a hospital even.. Anyway, the drama and politics in this game really aren't good for my stress levels and general wellbeing, which might say something about the current state of this game. It's been a nice break which has allowed me to take up other more productive and rewarding hobbies like writing and music playing/writing.

I've played this game for almost 13 years straight, starting when I was 9 and have had the pleasure of meeting and having engaging conversations with some fascinating and kind people. I've probably made more friends over those 13 years through this game than I did over that same time in real life. I like to think I've left a decent legacy behind this name (that MD Havoc can hopefully carry on:P), leading and playing in numerous respectable netting alliances in about every server, and consistently sitting near tops of overall leaderboards for all the netting categories (which Locket rudely pointed out that I've been slipping in..).

I hope this game can continue on with reasonable numbers into the future and you fluffs can maybe start to get along a little better and reduce the drama that contributed to me leaving, and maybe make this game a more enjoyable experience for everyone.


Peace.
(for now)(maybe))

xox

gl!

cya around.

doubt many earthers will start getting along.

You were 9 when you started?

Anyways, you'll be missed.

Yep, only played FFA back then.. Was in like, grade 4? Played illegally for 3 years! Suck it Mehul.

Yes you will be missed.

The best to you, Havoc.

See Ya around, Havoc. You'll be back, just like me. You'll miss the community that you love/hate/kill all the more when you meet assholes in Real Life and you can't do fluff about them when in the game you can kick their teeth in. :)

Good luck in RL :)

Aww Good Luck Havoc. I will miss you! (I do cross stitching and crocheting and gardening for hobbies ;) Also meditation is a great thing!)
Hugs!

Yess I need to learn some meditation methods.. I'll miss you too galli!

your too young to retire

Wait til you get a desk job with full internet access padawan .. it's tough to stay retired. Good luck with school though, the lack of sobriety in college can mess you up a bit, happens to the best of them ;) Drop a line sometime

Hah I did actually get my slacking intensive desk job back again this summer.. so this could be a very short retirement:p

Worth a try anyway lol.

and will do wiggles. I'll hopefully record some music this summer too that I'll try and share with ya.

take care - i think we all need to take time off this fluff game

Oh boo! Hope you feel better now Havoc. not that we've ever talked much but feel free to drop me a line on skype if you're bored. Take care <3

Good luck Havoc!

GL Havoc, been fun playing alongside ya. Take care and enjoy your retirement.

Cya Havoc, thanks for stepping up when we needed you.

Hey Havoc, we haven't talked much since I've been out of Omega but good luck to ya!

One of my favorite EmpeireEarthers.

Hope you get your depression sorted out.

Good luck Havoc!

thanks for your work havoc

Hey Havoc,
As you know I've always been very fond of you and all around I just think you're the man. Always hate to hear that you've gone through some dark patches - but you'll get through them man and we'll be right here if you ever want to stop by and say what sup.

You made this community stronger and I'm sorry to see you go. However, I'm very impressed you are taking the initiative to take care of some issues that have plagued you for too long. You are going to battle your demons and you will win. I have no doubt of that.

Until then

Good Luck Havoc!

You'll make it through the dark patches bud... Just the fact that you have managed to get this far in school (graduation is around the corner!) is a feat in itself!

Many of us have taken breaks, and I'm sure that 99% of us are not in our right minds, so you are not alone in that fact.

You will be back, I went through something very very similar, and now I'm back and as cynical as ever!

RL comes first... concentrate on you and just believe in yourself and once you can manage that then you will be unstoppable!

Take care Havoc.

-X

:(

Maybe just take a break while you finish school and when you come back you can join all the alliances I'm in ;) You are one of the really good people in this game, I will just hope you return, if not you'll have to find me on FB.

Once this game reaches a point where it is causing you unneeded BS, you have to bail. That's just how it is. Keep up w/ the music and writing and all that noise. It definitely helps to vent things positively.

Now I'll chirp you on fb for quitting! :P

-- TC

Nothing wrong with the brave move of quitting!

I stopped playing as much when I finished uni a year ago too. That and you have been playing quite a long time.

Unfortunately all I managed was to not play 1 set :P

Go smash the uni stuff outta the park.

Sad to hear but life comes first :)
Get well and sort out your life even if it takes time it's worth it. A game is just a game and it should be fun play.

Take care and I hope to see you again :)

get a real job and you'd be able to afford to play. :-P

*hugs ya*

haha..im sorry for those engaging conversations when you were illegal =)

Precisely the reason I just run around as a member instead of leading.....doh!!!!

No, seriously...as an Old School FFAer that was much older than you when you started and has played just as long, good for you. The early and mid 20s are a blast and you should not be behind the computer screen for a long duration during them. Go out, enjoy the beautiful world, stay safe....and every now and then say hi to a few friends back in game.

Thats just two cents from a guy who vaguely (and i stress vaguely) remembers you from FFA. PS....TC ruined the server :-P

Good luck!

Take it easy havoc

!insult havoc

all the best Havoc

I am also no longer an Omega contact.

De1i come on man you gotta hijack havoc's goodbye thread like that ? :p

ah wow, well bye dude!

Annnnd I'm back. fluff.

Just going to be lazy and run a country for Omega.. Don't make me do things please...

wb trent

Good Luck!

wtf?
I just read all that fluff! And its an old thread?
Damn.....

your own fault.

I was just going to make a comment about my post count being depressing... Then I looked at Marshal's :p

don't worry too much, there are 19 with more than you ;)

*smacks havoc*

take care man!

you're young and in undergrad so you have a ton of opportunities ahead of you. enjoy your life! smoke some weed, chill with some like-minded people and enjoy your last year of undergrad. don't be down/dark!!!

and ya, don't get invested in this server's politics. it's beyond garbage. try a solo server if you need an EE fix.

Thanks for playing!

Pang didn't read the whole thread. Silly Pang.

I'm now (almost) done school, I fluffed up and just need one more credit.. I'm now unemployed living at home.. But am also helping run an indie record label with a friend and writing music and painting. Yay.

Maybe I should have just made a new thread...

And looks like I have some catching up to do elves!

ahh ya it's an old thread

my advice and criticisms still hold. :p

There are currently 583 countries in the Alliance server.

so, uh, well . . . .


there is not much wagon left to fall off of
