Finished (In More Than One Way)

[Kistilan]

Argo and fellow DDO Players:

I already posted my goodbye thread during Christmas. I'm just announcing I finished SERE. I was supposed to go see my wife in Australia to work on "us," but it seems that is "finished" as well. In lieu of that, I seem to have 28 days in Australia and nowhere to go starting May 3rd (Oz time). If you're up to anything cool, I'm bouncing around from Hervey Bay to Perth, Melbourne and Brissy. I originally was flying into Rockhampton: we'll see if I even wind up there.

This week (once I get back to Little Rock -- in Seattle tonight) I'll finish up a few "Druid's Circle/Grove" scavenger hunts in 3BC for 100kp and divy out the last of my goods before I log off forever into that big dark screen in the sky.

Thanks for the support through the last week concerning the hardest training I've done in my whole life. It meant a lot that someone was there for me (yes you can read into that). I think I'm a better person and better warrior for freedom and the pursuit of happiness because of the training I received. I also got some cut abs out of the deal thanks to a Sgt forcing a Lieutenant to ruck up and down mountains with 80 lbs on his back. *L* Thanks Sarge!

It's been real. It was an honor serving Relics of the Last War and a real privllege to hang with this community. If you're on Oz and want to meet up, get in touch. I've got some free time now.

In one aspect, I am sorry to hear life was harsh on you, and that some vows made were unable to be kept.

But two parts respect also. Knowing when to leave, and serving.

Take good care of yourself, please, and thank you.

It is truely a shame that I have to tell one of the greatest people I know on DDO goodbye. You are truely a rolemodel for our community Kist and have always been.

I know your personal issues have been rough, weve talked about it once or twice. Dont give up hope in the rest of the world, you will always be a respected person in my book.

I hope that the rest of your life, whether it be with all of us on DDO or with your wife should you two try to work this out again or even in a nice house alone, is wonderful and full of nothing but the happiness that a great dude like you deserves. Take care Kistilan. You will be missed sorely.

[Mockduck]

Definitely sad to see ya leaving, but good luck on the future.

[Nahual]

I hope everything goes incredible for you Kist.

You will be missed.

[Yaga_Nub]

Kist, I'm truly sorry to see you go. Since it's a free game I encourage you to at least drop in from time to time to see how things are going.

Good luck and maybe we'll run into each other in LR some time.

Good luck man. If you ever happen to come across a giant glowing hemisphere, don't hesitate to throw a trivia/dance party on top of it.

[Uska]

Even though I dont play on arggo hate to see you go and as the wife thing kind of going through that right now myself and dont know where it will end up. Hope llife treats you well wherever you go.

[totmacher]

sorry to see you go kist. you are an odd person but you are genuine and good at heart and that's all that counts. i remember the time you firewalled the pillar in titan. you meant well but... you added a lot more value to this community than others and that counts for a lot too

good luck man

[akla_thornfist]

see ya man, stay away from them ash clouds and come back and say hey once in awile. take care akla

[Gunga]

Best of luck to you Kist.

*soft laugh*

Thanks guys. I'll have a druid's circle up tonight to give away some plat.

Disclaimer: The Titan is immune to firewall. I know I read the report, but I playtested it to be accurate. Also, do not go in with Mass Suggestion loaded if you can't control your trigger finger against lured constructs from the power cell room. And if you do trigger happy cast, dispell it right away so your pillar guy can dispatch them.

Yeah, I'll take care. Don't know if I want to f2p it up. Really enjoying my physical lifestyle and carefree heart without feeling obligated to be in a game. I'm liking my writing and publication process too. If I do pop in, it'll be to post the continuation of Gygax's Tribute Story on his birthday each year.

I'd also like to throw it out there (since I've been waiting for a certain Merlero Torask to announce a contest that may or may not be happening) that I'd like to offer up my original Guide entitled The Path to Power: A Critical Path Guide to as a rewrite to ursup my outdated guide. There are a lot of tips and tricks that need to be inserted and a new intro in the voice of Thet Darkhand (or Jack Sparrow, if you prefer, speaking ala "cutt'er") without mentioning Lord Jerry Goodblade. The Korthos Experience intro needs to be incorporated. I'll gladly assist anyone who is willing to undertake this project and hopefully I can convince the powers that be to grant the title Scholar of Adventure to the writer that can tackle this enormous task. I personally would like to offer my own title for the taking on this endeavor.

[Tabun]

Very very sorry to hear of your personal loss... Best wishes and thanks for serving

[Yaga_Nub]

Hey Kist, remember this post you made around the time of the server merge?

I wouldn't worry about it...

They're the same stuff as us. This should be the smoothest integration of two groups of peoples in the history of mankind, let alone DDO.

I'm very happy that we took on the Plane of Endless Night as our merger-server ally. Without Darkness, there cannot be Light. Without Dragons, there cannot be Heroes.

Go be a hero dude and stop in when you have a chance.

What he said.

I'm not sure if I'm still on your ignore list, but if I'm not: Good luck, Kist.

[Garumn]

My wife and I divorced several years ago, and it was the darkest time in my life. I feel for you; believe me. There is, also, light at the end of the tunnel, as it sounds as you are finding.

Best of luck to you, Sir. You are one of the good ones.

I appreciate it, Borror0. You're not on my ignore list (A_D is still). Thank-you.

****. Forced to eat my own words. Yaga, you one upp'd me. I am emotional now.

Thanks. Very cool quote you sniped there.

[cdbd3rd]

Couple days late from the OP, but:


Knocked out SERE....

**** - that's full of serious awesomeness. /Salute!


As for the other, real sorry to hear that. Hopefully that Ozzie free time will help ease the bruising.

Like Yaga said, don't be a stranger and drop by once in a while. The admission price is right.

Stay groovy brother, you'll be back
