This has been a long time coming. I've given this game 5+ years of my life, working hard to uphold a single ideal, "RP above all else". I've tried my hardest to be a nice pirate, requesting logical demands and for the most part, providing good, fun and interesting Role Play to all those involved. I've tried hauling Cargo that while, not pulling in a high price, would be intriguing to bandits as a target of theft. I've tried creating characters with in depth and mysterious, if not strange backgrounds, all while remaining within the bounds of whats realistic and whats possible in the Disco lore. I've tried being nice, providing support, ideas, logical reasoning and thoughts on subject matters that most would rather throw crap on the fire for rather than discuss logically and calmly.
I've been friends with people most of the community would shun me for, Jayce, Lythrilux, Altejago, Scourge, Spazzy, Nyx, Golanski... Just to name a few biggies. I've remained as biased and understanding as possible, stayed out of things I knew nothing about while at times, trying to provide an outside point of view. I've tired being a good person, a kind friend, and a fun person if not slightly more perverted than most in conversations with people on skype and TeamSpeak. I've had my moments of rage, and some in this community know that an Angry Jess is a dangerous thing.... I've had times of sadness, depression at things I've done to people and moments where I never thought I'd touch this game again. Protégé was the biggie, and after all is said and Done, I apologize for having done you wrong.
I've given this game everything bit of effort I had and in the end, it never amounts to much. The people in this community are more concerned with their PVP and their blues and their money. I don't much care for fighting, I never have. When I log, I log to have fun, to find and interesting conversation, to Role play and make new friends. I'm the person that lawful traders, mining in Alberta have thanked for taxing them 30 million crdits for their right to mine before, I'm the person who has convinced a trader to drop their cargo worth more than their transport twice over and shoot it and thank me for the interaction with a smile. I'm the person who has taught more than a few players in this community how to role play and have had them turn into relatively well known members and contributors to this game I once loved. Mind you, a certain Fast and Furious loving biker gang member was an utter failure on my part.
I have tried so very hard, put so much effort into this game and made so many good, kind friends I never would have had were it not for this game, hell, I even met the person I love more than life itself through this game. But after all of that is said and done, there is nothing more upsetting to me at this moment than to say, I'm done.
I'm leaving this game, this community of players who I've grown to love and hate. I wish you all well and all the best, if I have you on skype, then I will continue to talk with you from time to time, If I have any ongoing Role play with you, then I will continue it unless it directly impacts your character in game.
Skorak, I'm sorry, I would love to continue our RP the story between Marcello and Zoe was something I fully enjoied, yet, It is time I give it up.
My characters:
Siren Stone, my longest running character and labor of love so to speak. Currently in the Order is to be considered missing in action.
Reimi Saionji, DSE transport captain, enjoying retirement aboard the freeport in alberta who's number I can't remember cause I'm that much of a noob.
Marcello Bloodrose, Relaxing in his villa on Malta, his association with Zoe Cromwell to be terminated as he gives her the freedom she deserves.
Jo Carpenter, My Rogue Bison transport captain, Docked on Alcatraz in retirement.
Marcus Vale, Rogue gunboat captain, missing after his last encounter with a BHG in New York who wouldn't listen to reason when I asked for him to cease fire as well as begged for the LPI to call him off, all 5 or 6 of the ships that came to gank me not giving a flying frack about RP and only wanting a blue. (This was the straw that broke the camels back by the way, the final catalyst for my departure from this community.
Anyway, I hope you all have fun, wish you the best and want to say, its been fun while it lasted. This is Jess, signing off and telling you all, Safe flying, and watch your six.
I guess each has his or her own limit of disco..
and yours has been reached.
Have fun in the real world mate.
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

I honestly have to agree with Lyth, thisl blow over, I've dealt with people ragequitting over 10 skype chats at times, this is nothing to compare, you'll get over it Jess, it was a gank. A rather dickish gank but its something thatl blow over.
