I recently came back to Discovery hoping to have seen a change in folks...I'm afraid I was let down. The caliber of people here on the server has not changed, nor have the politics involved. My newlywed wife suggested that I come back here to further sharpen my Roleplaying skills and writing considering that I'm roleplaying on other games now. This game is where it all started for me after all, why not return to basics?
However, it seems as if there's a lot of negativity left here for some reason. I'm not exactly sure why, but I can feel it in the bones of this place. It's not a very nice feeling to me, and I would rather not be around it. I've been gone for a very long time, and I think it's about time that I made it permanent. There are other reasons involved in my decision, mainly to be that I'm married now and enjoying that life. I don't have nearly as much time to devote to flying in space, powertrading, and writing stories as I used to with other games I'm playing now. I haven't been around here for a long time, and I've neglected to say good-bye to each one of you folks here...for that I'm sorry.
I have free ships to give away with free credits on them. If you want them, message me and I'll send you the ADF files over Skype or whatever. They're yours to keep and use as I won't be needing them anymore. I would prefer [Nemesis], my AI cruiser and with a lot of history involved, go to a friend on the server, but so few of my friends remain I don't much see a point in that either.
Thank you to all who've made my stay here over the past five years such a blast.
Boss - I'd hope you would have come back here eventually, but it seems you've moved on. It was an honor to have written stories and flown with you my friend. Kaz - Same goes for you as it did with Bawss. Keep it real my nerdy Linux brotha. Zapp - All your stories are belong to you. Keep writing them, you've got a definite talent there. Doc Holiday - All of your help has been inspiring, sir. Thank you for all you've done and all the fun that has been had. Exile - Mike, I know we haven't spoken in a while, but thank you for all the fun we had with NovaPG and HG. It was always fun RPing with you in space and on the forums as well. You're a true friend and I value that even though we've been out of contact for such a long time. Canon - I still think you've got the source code for FL some how...I still believe you were one of the original creators of Freelancer. No matter what you say it's not going to change that. Thank you for all you've done for Discovery, I hope that you continue to do so without any hatred of the game or mod boiling up underneath. Ironwastas - Don't listen to anyone who trashes your vision. I respect every story you've written and each story you've done. They're great works of art. If people can't appreciate that, well, screw em.
To anyone else I've missed, thank you for everything. Thank you for all the stories and for the silly antics in space. You're all my family...thank you. I'll still be around on the forums every now and then, just stopping by to say hey, but my time regularly on the forums is over. It's time to retire my wings.
I know what you mean man.... I keep going and coming back too. Maybe someday I will take the stand you are now.
I have some friends who are just starting and could really use some ships! If you could throw an account my way I'll be sure they get them. I am Amon.Cire on skype.
