K! Thx! Bai!

[Decameron]

Hi there,

I promised myself that after this last character, I would be taking a break and/or retiring from the game. While I haven't quite decided which that might be, quite yet, I am definitely on hiatius. I've had quite a bit of fun for the past 4-5 years, and definitely have a few fond memories. But, at the moment, I don't really feel compelled to continue - I won, and Zalanthas loses.  Thank you to .. well, basically everyone, for making the game for what it is, and to the Staff for putting up with me as patiently and for as long as they have. Don't really have anything else to add .. so .. Bye!

[Malken]

That's a shame, I really liked your last character.

[FuSoYa]

Good luck man in your future endeavors.

Hello, everyone who reads this should know that Decameron made this game very awesome for me, for a long time. Thank you, Dec. I hope you come back one day, and that I might stumble upon your awesomeness. I miss you. [cries.]

[Zoltan]

You were always awesome to play with and I miss you already. Enjoy your hiatus!

[Bluefae]

     Drov, do I even need to type it?  . . . All righty; glady.     Some of you might think I'm going overboard, but this is my honest experience.

     I had the privilege of role-playing with Decameron a while back.  This man pushed me to game better, think faster, and play harder than at any other time in the last four years.  I remember several scenes in particular, with a certain FOUNTAIN, that drove me crazy trying to keep up!  I was glued to the screen as his emotes rolled off, one after the other.  Each one was not only highly descriptive, but layered, with various possible interpretations yet possessing the unifying themes of menace, perspicacity, and a rapacious intellect.  The driving crazy part was where I was groaning at that same screen, saying "It's not fair - he has the home field advantage using that thing as a prop!" and scrambling to keep up.  The amazing part is that every friggin' scene with him is like that.
     The player managed to create the most subtle alter ego I've ever seen in our shared universe and trust me, there was nothing "tree huggy" about it.  He taught me about the judicious use of disinformation, and how a viable spy network can function in a text-based game.  Most importantly for the game itself, he has a true gift for lending intensity to even the most mundane scene, generating an air of excitement and a sense of import.  Sweet Krath, what a leader.
     D., I am so sorry I never was able to create and sustain a worthy "partner in crime" for that remarkable character of yours.  I sincerely hope we'll get the chance to have that dance in either this iteration of Armageddon or the next.

  -- Bluefae, who feels really, really sad right now

[Snap Dragon]

Aww! This is sad. I'm going to miss you. As Bluefae mentioned, you are a marvelous RPer. I so enjoyed the time that I got to play with you. Good luck with school and your girl. We'll see you back here eventually... you can't quit Crackageddon.

<3,
Snap Dragon

[Gimfalisette]

I, too, enjoyed playing with you. Thank you for your contributions to the game. Take a good break, and I hope you will eventually return filled with passion and curiosity again.

[Medena]

I had a great time playing with your one PC with three different PC's of mine.  Hope to RP with you again when you return.  

[titansfan]

I hated you, and that's a complement....thanks for the good times, see you back again. *sadistic smile and wave combo*

[Fathi]

I will never forget the magic moments. Be that the skellebaine, the zombies, or watching you finally PK a dude that one time a few years ago.

P.S.: You'll be back. Crackageddon crackageddon crackageddon etc.

Enjoy life in the meantime!

[AmandaGreathouse]

I had a lot of fun when we roleplayed together, even if I was so edgy from the awesome that my hands were shaking as I typed.

Shade.

[brytta.leofa]

I wish we'd run into each other more in-game. Enjoy your break.

[Cutthroat]

You'll still have won Arm when you get back. Take care.

[jcljules]

I played with you for a few weeks when I was a brand spankin' newb. Thanks for the fun! Come back soon! I know you will.

[The7DeadlyVenomz]

That's a shame - assuming you played who I think you did, you added a lot to the game. We'll miss you, and we'll see you on the other side. And I'll keep chugging along.

[Lizzie]

Here's to long-lived PCs, and the infinite patience of their players. A well-deserved break, Decameron. I hope to help change the world with you again some time!

[Akoto]

Knowing who you are, I am very sorry to see you go. I've greatly enjoyed our role-play together. Won't be the same without you!

PS: Welcome back.

[Fnord]

See you later.

[Rhyden]

I seem to be the only one who doesn't know who you played, but, we'll all see you in a few weeks when you come back.

[Kassindra]

I've had one PC who was able to play with you for a short while and you scared the pants off me. That's a -good- thing considering your then role. Have a nice break and hopefully you return to us.

[tortall]

I seem to be the only one who doesn't know who you played, but, we'll all see you in a few weeks when you come back.

You're not alone. I'm just as lost.

But apparently you were awesome, so come back soon!!

[Lizzie]

I didn't know. I guessed.

[brytta.leofa]

I seem to be the only one who doesn't know who you played, but, we'll all see you in a few weeks when you come back.

(Since folks do seem to worry about how everybody knows everything: I had no clue who Decameron played 'til I saw him on a clan board.)

[Pale Horse]

I, too, do not know who he played, but from the clues of "long lived" and knowing who plays in certain areas, and have posted here, I've got a fairly good guess...

..I think.

[drasik]

I had the chance to play with him very briefly on a couple of different PCs. Interacting with him was a lesson in humility for my typing skills to say the least.

Come back, bud. It was awesome to play with you and you will be missed.

[Reiloth]

Power on, brotha man.

[FantasyWriter]

This thread title make me think of the new 'pothole' commercial.

[askaran]

All i remember was playing a noble with him was harder than being a lowly commoner under his employ.. Was real fun even if I felt ENTIRELY outclassed no matter what we where rping about.

[Aruven]

I sent a PM man. My last character was profoundly impacted, and I hate seeing another amazing role player like yourself leave the game. I earnestly try to live up to similar expectations in game, and write, but I always find myself severely short handed when I come in contact with minds like your own. You kept my imagination legs constantly jogging, and I love that, it was awesome to get off of a long day of work and sit down and just fucking delve into every possible corner of intrigue your game play offered. Without condemning, or condoning, since I am leaving for the naval academy myself, I can understand RL pulling you away. Yet, I think Armageddon needs influential players and those with the ability to impact story lines with their imagination. I would like to say I am there, but I am far from it, so hurry back, I still need to learn. Best of luck, in whichever way you find yourself walking, and you will be missed.

[path]

Oh man, Decameron, I only met up with your last PC once or twice and it knocked my socks off. Stunning RP. I'm very sorry to hear we're losing you, even for a while. I hope you'll be back.

[Niamh]

I don't know why anyone even bothers posting these "goodbye" threads.  Crackageddon is like a black hole.  Even light cannot escape it.   

[Potaje]

that's because black hole theoretically have wormholes and everyone is hopeful.

[Shalooonsh]

that's because black hole theoretically have wormholes and everyone is hopeful.

+5.

[Niamh]

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "I wish I'd read that book by that wheelchair guy."

Oh wait...I did.

And on that note, I'm locking this thread.  It has served its purpose, and is now covered with a chocolate so dark that even light cannot escape it.
