swansong

fellow sl'ers, I have been among you all for a while now, either lurking, contributing or laughing at posts. However, due to circumstances beyond my control and over the next few weeks once I have disposed of stuff I can transfer, I will hang up my neko boots and fancy leather threads and shuffle away head held high. It's been a blast and I want to thank all of you in so many different ways for the tremendous support and help given to me in the last 9 months.

To you all, I wish a happy and fun time in sl, through the good times, bad times and borked grid and finally I wish you all peace and contentment, in the firm belief that all your dreams will always come true.

Good luck to you .. There is a much larger grid out there called RL which you know already. Go enjoy it. I removed 50k or so from my inventory a few weeks ago to hopefully reduce some issues with truncating inventory etc. It irritated me to death, now with the inability to sell items like the rest of SL has left me thinking the same. There really isn't a whole lot of enjoyment after certain things happen in a game like this. And I use the word game. Thats really all it is when it boils down to it whether you can make money here or not. I had many people say... "Think about what you'd be loosing." or "Don't make hasty decisions." or "Just give it time and keep at it and it will be ok."

Sorry but I have to respond to all of them with the fact that it doesn't upset me that much. It doesn't make my RL bad because things aren't going smoothly in SL. If I were to leave it wouldn't be a tough decision at all. If people have a hard time deciding what is more important to them, a game or RL its pretty easy.....

With anything in life, if the pleasure you get out of it is less than the effort you put into it you should easily be able to walk away with your head held high.

I don't intend on walking away from SL. But RL is definitely more fun.. lol.

There are a lot of bad decisions that can be made by people who aren't looking after the best interest of their members and I'm seeing that in a few situations here now. Its nothing to me to pack up a sim and understand that fact and delete all my items. They're just pixels.

If I ever decide to just leave I doubt I'll leave a message tho. In a month or so it wouldn't have mattered if I did. There would be a new wave of people and it would all be soon forgotten.

Good luck once again, you've graduated to the RL grid, congratulations.

You're not eloping with that Ciera Spyker are you?

Pep (Ah, that's right; she promised she was going but didn't . . . )

Best of luck to you, Dog.

As you did, and there was much rejoicing. But you keep coming back as soon as most people have forgotten about your latest bout of general nastiness, demonstrating that those who feel the need to announce their departure rarely stay departed.

Getting overemotional and making up things again? Perhaps you would like to point out a post where I announced my recent (temporary for the month of January only as I made clear to several friends who will be able to corroborate it) departure? And when you can't perhaps others will recognise that you obviously have continuing problems with either the comprehension of written English or in posting accurately in English - or perhaps you just enjoy fabricating stories to satisfy your own personal Mittyesque delusions?

Pep (Would it be worse if you deliberately got things wrong or if you were simply incompetent?)

Pippy, pippy, pippy

If you didn't obsessively delete your postings you might not have such a hard time keeping track of what you said.

You announced, with crocodile tears, that, since your utter wankerishness had so very much disappointed Amaranthim, you were going to leave this place. Recall that now? Thought so.

No I didn't. But I am sure that if you keep telling yourself these things that you will eventually believe them.

Pep (I am leaving now though - the warm up for the Bruce Springsteen Show has started)

Wish you the best, Dog. Hope maybe a little something in SL was worth taking along on the journey ahead.

Yes, selective memory is one of your few gifts.

My memory is perfect, and backed up by being able to read, understand and write English.

Pep (and not as a third language)

PS I came back because they can't even run a football game to an accurate timetable

I smell drama.

I'd like to take this moment to announce...

that I'm now about to post...

this important message.

Bye, Dog...you will be missed.

Oh god, Pep's back.
/me looks around for her Ignore button.

But then you won't know if I've taken another R&R break.

Pep (Just posting to save you being the threadkiller)

Good luck to you, Dog

Enjoy your RL, Dog.

And who started the nastiness this time?
