Retirement

[Bakha]

The time has come for me to be moving on. I'll be offline for quite some time starting on Thursday and am taking that opportunity to retire from staff. Real life has intruded, and it's not fair to my clans or the rest of staff for me to continue to take up a slot on the wizlist.

Myrdryn will be taking over the Northern Templars and Militia, and Coatlicue will be responsible for the Akei Ta Var.

I'd like to thank you, the players, for some very memorable and pleasant experiences here on Arm. You're without doubt one of the most unique and strongest online communities around. There are some fine, fine writers and roleplayers in this game.

So long and thanks for the memories,
Bakha

Sorry sack of shit. Retiring from staff...why couldn't it be...like...someone...wait, nevermind. Halaster is gone.

Happy trails.

[The7DeadlyVenomz]

...I almost forgot...we'll miss ya. You were another great addition to the community. Hope you'll be back as a player at the very least.

[X-D]

I hope this is not some kind of trend on good staff leaving..Halaster, Bakha, was somebody else too recently.

Hurry, Somebody go chain Sanvean and Vendyra to their desks.


Sigh

See ya, hope ya manage to shove off some of that real life and come back...at least to visit.

[Krath]

Jeez most of the staff seems to be retiring..Krath...Well I wish you the best Bahka. It was fun.

While I am not aware that I'd ever have encountered you in the game, Bakha, I am sorry to hear this.

When playing a Northerner with 'odd hours', it was ever comforting to see Bakha on the bottom of the GDB Index. A security that there was Someone watching over us, just in case.

Thank you and all the best, where ever you go from here.

[Desert Wanderer]

Good luck to you Bakha.

[Fedaykin]

It was a real pleasure interacting with you.

You'll definetly be missed.

Good luck!

[Forest Junkie]

Well, I wish you luck Bakha, and I hope you at least come to visit us once in a while! You'll be missed!

[Delirium]

I don't know whether or not we've ever interacted IC, but I've always enjoyed your posts on the GDB. Best wishes and do drop by from time to time if you get a chance!

[Barzalene]

No!!!!!

Don't retire. Take a leave of absense.


You were the first imm to ever comment me. It was my third pc and the time you took, and the advice you gave really shaped the  way I play. Thank you.

And finally, you have to stay, because I don't want you to go. It's a vacation, not retirement. Right?

[Pungee]

Well, it was nice having you along. Here's a 10 Tiny Purple Penguin salute for you.

The small penguin with a red bandana exclaims, "Comp'ny, Atten-SHUN!"

A group of Ten Tiny Purple Penguins lines up and comes to attention.

The small penguin with a red bandana exclaims, "Comp'ny, Pre-sent Ahrms!"

A group of Ten Tiny Purple Penguins raises their flippers.

The small penguin with a red bandana exclaims, "Comp'ny, Salute!"

A group of Ten Tiny Purple Penguins salutes Bakha.

Have a good time out in the real world Bakha.

Well I will miss you.. It has been a pleasure to get to work with you on a few things even though they didn't turn out like I planned.. Best to luck with you

[Pungee]

And finally, you have to stay, because I don't want you to go. It's a vacation, not retirement. Right?

Nobody ever escapes Crackageddon. It's like heroin, you might get the monkey off your back but you'll always wear the leash. Except with Arm, instead of a monkey it's a pissed off Mekillot.

Pretty soon Bakha will be hearing a chorus of drugged voices, beckoning for a return.

"Join us Bakha.... It'sss blisss...."

[spawnloser]

All I wanna say is, "Thanks for the tattoo, Bakha."

[Angela Christine]

Nooo!  If Bakha retires there won't be any Bull!

Good luck.

Bakha was the first clan immortal who really made the world come alive for me.  I'll never forget walking back to the Salarri gates and having the guard spring to action without warning.  I'm going to miss you, and I wish you luck on your endeavors.

[Shinigami]

I don't remember telling you that you could go...  :twisted:

Another one bites the dust.  Gonna miss ya.

-Shinigami, Tektolnalian Queen

[Coatlicue]

...It's your breath, Shinigami. You're scaring the other imms away. Either that, or it's all that teeth gnashing.

[John]

Pretty soon Bakha will be hearing a chorus of drugged voices, beckoning for a return.

"Join us Bakha.... It'sss blisss...."

So your the one who keeps ringing at 4 in the morning  :evil:

It's a sign of how good Arm is that when a staff member leaves everyone becomes saddened and Shini has a breath mint  

See you when you come back Bakha

[SykotikGith]

I'm saddened to hear that you're leaving us, Bakha. I know I really enjoyed working with you. You encouraged me to think for myself, and you always responded to my e-mails, no matter how vague. I hope that real life doesn't intrude for too long...I would hate to have you go through -too- much withdrawal. Good luck to you, and come back to us soon!

[Peabody]

*pout*

Thanks for all you done Bahka.  Mebe you can write it all down in your memoirs?

[Lazloth]

Good luck, Bakha!

You'd made my return to Armageddon greatly enjoyable; the world will suffer from your loss.

[Master Z]

You will sorely missed Bakha. Thanks for all the good times, and lately there've been a lot of them. Take care and good luck in all your future endeavors.

[Vox]

Bakha,

You were one of the few staff brave enough to offer positive comments about my roleplay. Thank you again for taking the time and for giving me a chance to rise above past indiscretions.  

To echo the sentiments of the other posters in this thread you will certainly be missed, Zalanthas is a poorer place without you.

Good luck in all your endeavors and may you be granted time in the future to return to Armageddon... in whatever form.

Cheers,
Vox
