This isn't going to be a ragequit post. I will try my best.
I'm just tired of watching people trying to outdo each other in being nasty to other people in a game. A lot of you seem to thrive on this. I can handle it. Up to a point, then you're at my limits and I can't take watching everything I'm working for with my character torched at some big important person's whim.
I'm not that good at this game. I don't build superwonderful characters able to bend steel and who can kill a carru after 3 days played or who can sneak their way into Tek's tower after five. I'm just not good at the mechanics, even after all this time. I do the best I can, but... I'm a builder, a socialite, though I do have a low boredom threshhold and this is where the problem is. I do something and usually the death is quick and done and I move on.
Today's promised to be a long, slow death of starvation and desperation and that just...hit me wrong today.
Sorry if I'm releasing too much ic. I'm sorry, staff, if I'm being a pain in the ass today. You all are great. It's just...fuck this. I don't want to sit here crying over a game.
So I'll be seeing you, Arm. Maybe. I'm a masochist but there's only so much being stomped on when my character is down that I want to take anymore. I'm not some 20 year old who can take this stuff so easy. It's ...just too much.
Take care, everyone. I'll peek in at the forum now and then. A lot of you know how much I respect and admire you.
Smooth sands.
I think you are just having a bad day. I also think you took that individual scene too serious.
I enjoyed RPing with you today. Just take a break and come back tomorrow.
Sometimes the game grinds on you more than you grind on it. Breaks help.

Unexplained PC-on-PC violence really hurts the game. (That good ol' hackneyed serial killer concept is an extreme example, but there are tons of others that aren't quite so obvious.)
When it's truly at a whim, it breaks the storylines that make Armageddon really worthwhile, and doesn't give much in return. When it's for a serious (non-whimsical) reason, but that reason is totally obscure, your victim is still apt to think that you're a griefin' kankhonker.
78% of you harddcore folks who think you disagree with me don't understand what I'm saying; the rest are just wrong.
Taking a break is a good thing. It'll help.
Though some other player being a dick is not a reason to give up and quit...
I hope we see you back. :) And good luck with the adventures of life.
Remember. Wear sun block!
Shade and spice.
I hope I see you around when you come back. I know you mean to leave. They always do, but RL permadeath is the only total escape from it.

I've heard, if the imms favor you, you get a rezz anyway.
No idea what happened but I feel your pain. Too many times you're doing something and BAM something unexplained happens to destroy the path you're on.
I dunno. I take a day off or a little more time and then return. Give the benefit of the doubt and stuff.
EDIT: I see character death as breaking up with someone. The pain goes away and you get to start all over! :D
With love,
It's only a character. It's a story. Death is part of it, pain is part of it. Write something new.
Just create a half-giant that suffers from bouts of insanity. Next time you meet your nemesis in game, go nuts, subdue, kill, use the corpse as a toothpick. Bwahahahah!
Just kidding, of course.
I've always muchly enjoyed interacting with your characters, and hope you change your mind after a good night's sleep or so.
Wow. Unfortunate. You'll be missed. Probably be some boots by the door when you get back.
I'll leave the glow crystal on for ya.
You may not consider yourself a good player, but you were always one of my favorites back during the Golden Days of Kurac. Remember Ten Sarak? Good times.
I seriously will miss you, and I truly hope you decide to come back, or at least pop your pretty little head in from time to time to say what's up.
Love,
-The Big, Runic, Armor-Plated Ninnyhammer of Doom
Take some time to regroup and refresh... spend some extra time with the kids. We'll all welcome you back when you decide it's time.
Ya'll make me feel good. Thanks.
I'll be back. Sometimes it twists my panties, but I love this game and you players. Just gonna take a few days or so with the kids, then I'll be back.
I've only played with your PCs once on a rather lengty basis that I know of, and even though
it did not end well. I did think you were a talented player and had fun while it lasted. It made
my said PC's life in more fun. Glad you are going to stay around.

Just don't wear panties. And this will settle the matter!
And you can return.. Since no twisting of said panties.
Logic!! 8)

Or eat the edible jam panties! that come in Ginka, Kalan, and Belshun flavors!!!
1. Take a break - you will come back refreshed and hopefully with a clearer mindset
2. Stop the ooc - seriously, this works - yes, there are a lot of cool armers but chatting ooc usually leads to harmful leaks
3. Most important - the key to winning arm is realizing that you will never win - ever ;)

Resurrections have absolutely nothing at all to do with how much anyone likes anyone else.

I was kinda hoping he was too.
Resurrections are based on whether or not your mother was a virgin when she had you.

Nope. The other posters were closer to my belief system, though if yours is different that's cool too. Go RL staff!

I don't understand what you mean by that.
People being able to come back from being clinically dead. My grandmother, as an example, was clinically dead for 10 minutes, and was brought back.

See, it's a joke.
Amanda was making a joke about how only the "permadeath" in the "game" of "real life" was the only way to avoid returning to the game of Armageddon. So I joked back, that even if your "real life" character "dies," the imms (meaning the biblical version of God) would "rezz" you (alluding to the Resurrection of Jesus), if you were favored (like Jesus was his kid and all that).
You really didn't get that?

No sweat. Glad you appreciate us!! I've been RL staff for a long while now, and it's tough, but you get used to it.
Anyway, I gotta thing. Gotta go kill a Twilight fan in New Zealand and not leave any details why. Give you fuckers something to chew on.

I'm now more afraid of Malifaxis than I already was to begin with....

You were in NZ and you didn't come to see me?
Well screw you too, then. :'(

Look, babe, I had my doom groove on. I want to meet you, but I don't want to fucking slaughter the living shit out of you when I do it.
So fucking sue me, I took a goddamn precaution. You have NO idea of how fucking stressful this goddamn RL staffing shit is. You know I have quotas? FUCKING QUOTAS ON DOOM.
Fucking A.
What do I have to do today? I have to invisibly impregnate 100 people in Turkey and pin all the blame on Ghost. Yes, we're redoing an experiment tried 2000 years ago, which ended with bad results.
Some days I miss having a desk job.
I was a RL staffer once, then I stepped back and started the game again.
One reason.
Mudsexxx.
Mal, you do well, young grasshopper.
