I'm leaving.

[A-99]

Well apparently I'm still a noob as I posted this in the tournament section first, so this is the appropriate place.

Perhaps his is just a rash decision due to the loss of over 10 games today from luck, but I have been thinking about it a lot lately. Many of you do not care, but for those who do, I am leaving. I was never one of the best, and I doubt I will be so that is another factoring in my decision, but also the decrease in general activity. The high up administration doesn’t give a friggin shit about this game, as it’s just another source of revenue that isn’t worth to upgrade. GL sucks now waaay worse than it did when I started TAO in June of 07. Army has been terrible compared to its old glory days, but thankfully not as bad as the shit town of Banff, population -5. Anywho, enough of me rambling about how TAO sucks now, everyone knows this. I’ve spent far too much time on TAO that I could be doing for much more worthwhile things and since college, I play TAO even less than before.

Thanks to all the people who made my days and nights staring at a friggin’ screen enjoyable whether for their humor, or simply solid opponents: Master TAO my teacher, Death Rico wherever you are, Luckygreen, Detonation, IROK, Lieutenant, Elven Blood, Inc Inc, Mantis, Dark7, SCCS, Bax Varlet, Magician, Meat.eater, Hatchet Warrior, Darkness, CPC, Mino and many more. I find that my friends (if any of these consider me one) are often interesting as there is a lot of hatred between them yet I like all of them for many different reasons.

Props to mods, more specifically: Meat.Eater, Hatchetklown. Realist, Magician, and Mithrandir who actually did stuff for this community. To the many others not mentioned, perhaps we just never got off on good terms, or I never saw you do jack and so that’s why I feel the way I do ^^. And I’ve been on a lot

I am going to continue playing on Legends for a few months at least as a good friend has upgraded my grey (3days ago) and I owe it to him to use his moneys worth and to chill with him. I am going to stop FPS TAO after PSST4. The best tournament ever, I highly recommend it to those who read this and haven’t played in it. I can’t miss out on PSST even if I/my team gets rocked. After that it’s so long.

And to stir some controversy, as this forum needs it to stay alive, XqetR is still around. Can you find out who? And to XqetR who screwed up Hells Angels and although I have appeared friendly to you, go screw yourself you twisted up kid :). You don’t deserve to be in the place of recognition that you are. And if you attempt to follow through with your threat on me revealing your identity, I can only say that I don’t give a rats ass if you mess with my TAO accounts ^^. You are good at playing innocent, I’ll give you that.

I’ve had many great times playing TAO, I’ve never been much of a gamer or computer guy, but I have met some cool people here without actually talking to them face to face. TAO takes up a lot of time if you wish to even be competent, and I suggest those who are new to not waste your life away here. To those who dislike me, yay I’m gone, everyone else, take it easy.

Going to miss you! Take care, hopefully you'll keep in touch on the forums, and maybe I'll see you on Legends (if I ever decide to migrate). It was fun getting to know you in GL. :)

[KBHoleN1]

Can we all agree to stop doing this? Either you will stay away because of the arbitrary reasons you gave, or you'll come back and look like an idiot when you do. Just make a post in random discussion or something saying you're taking a break. There is no reason to leave completely, just don't post or play if you don't feel like it. It's not like it's cocaine, you don't need rehab to quit. Just stop. Or don't, it doesn't matter either way.

I'm sure we'll see you inside a month.

I scanned real fast, found the paragraph I was looking for, and guess what I DIDN'T find...

my name! That's what I didn't find!

Yea yea just messin- anyways, I'll be missin you.

You were a cool guy, damn good player too :)

[The Anti]

Later dude. Sorry about the losses or whatever ticked you off. Good luck with college and life though. :)

[Sacred Silence]

07 was a good year. I'll miss you A-Nub!

[BaxVarlet]

Awww, someone I actually like leaving.

Don't forget to stop by rev occasionally and just hang out.

[CPC]

Will-
We talk on MSN occasionally already so not like this is a good bye (eh). :p But anyway, I saw your frustration today when you were talking in clan chat...I really do hope that you just take a break man, that's the best option. You can come back with a clean slate and perhaps not only get your game back, but get even better than before! Unfortunately, I really do feel what you're saying about the decreasing activity, and its unbelievably obvious nowaday...Although the holidays happened to bring a lot of board new and old players on. But nevertheless, in general its very real and depressing. But man, if people leave, then more leave, and its just an on going spiral guaranteeing tao's death...

Just ignore that comment, he's apparently still convinced that I'm xeqtr.
I've recieved many such positive reps from him...

Dude man bro! no way you are aloud to leave! I will not allow it!
You were the first person to teach the fundamentals of the game, back in last NOvember.
And i will always love you for that! A-99, i consider you one my good friends in TAO, and i always enjoy talking with you in-game or in the lobby.
Stop by some time, as Bax said, was could always use a good chat.
Have fun with college !

[-The Shredder-]

You don't need to leave tao, and to be truthful I dont think anyone really does.

I think you need to take a long "vacation" and visit every now and then. Sorta like I do.

Sooner or later your interest in the game will pick up.

Don't worry... No one cares...

Bye A-99.... Doubt it'll last, but what eva, the longer you go without this place the better off you'll probably be. :p

[Nitanius Nolund]

But....but.....

:(

At least you mentioned me.

[Hatchet Warrior]

Damn, another good player and friend leaving. Have fun with what you do man.

I might see you on legends once in awhile.

[NejixKun]

Bye.

[T Solo]

Adios, never got a chance to know ya, but you sound like a cool guy.

[Lieutenant]

Sucks, I mean.. I knew you were leaving I just hoped it wouldn't be too soon. :(
I'll miss ya mate, if anything I recall having good times with you and hope you actually have a great time at college. I'm looking forward to being in the same team you are in PSST. ;)

Btw, KBHolen... shut up.

[Lord Shinok]

Everyone I know that threatened to leave TAO because of their bad luck usually returns within a day to few weeks. It is rare that someone leaves this game/community completely FOR GOOD.

[StupidCows]

At least you'll be around for the PSST... I'll miss you after that! But this game is... addictive to say the least. Plus you'll have to come back and say hey to me every once in a while. Or we can do this the hard way and I can track you down...

Anyways, we'll miss you here! Maybe you'll kick ass in the PSST and stay a while :bigsmile:

[mantis33]

Mentioned!

Sad to see you go man. Have a good life. Peace.

[CPC]

What's even more amusing is that every time this happens people have the same reactions that people will come right back. I think I've read this comment approximately 50 times now. :p

But since A-99 already posted here, I give you my best wishes and hope you have a great life, and hope you come back or visit. :bye:

"loss of over 10 games today from luck"

Wish you the best.

[_Darkness_]

I'll see you on Legends man.

[Baseballboy]

Goodbye.

Sign me up in that petition, btw.

So Tao without luck would be how interesting then...? A game is supposed to have some sort of a twist to make it a challenge...

[Tree Hugger]

challenge?
i m just saying if you are better, should mean a win or if your worst should be a loss
maybe not take it out but like make not as big a factor.

Dude, again, that's part of the game! Its supposed to be harder to get a win! If you were "better" then you would always win, no fun in that.

[~SlayeR~]

Later Noob.

[Mr Anton]

Get on MSN more often bud, haven't spoken to you in ages.

Have a good one. :]

[A-99]

Just to clear things up for people who can't rweiazdzy, I am going to play actively/normally until the end of PSST4.

Merry Christmas all :)

[Elven Blood]

and then you will continue to play actively for the rest of the year, and the rest of next year too!

Are you idiotically retarded or what?

'Learn too' know who Magicians post was aimed at.

'Learn too' know who Magicians post was aimed at.

Is this a joke? Or is this really grammatically correct?

It doesn't look right... and I'm dumb, that's why I ask..

[Sacred Silence]

Looks wrong to me too...

[Knight~of~Honor]

See ya man, have a good one. :happy:

Didn't realise I had to be fully 100% correction at my grammar to be honest.

[Sacred Silence]

Didn't realise I had to be fully 100% correction at my grammar to be honest.

I'm not sure what this sentence means, but I think it was because you corrected Dream's "Learn to read", with "learn too..." which is incorrect...

[Knight~of~Honor]

Didn't realise I had to be fully 100% correction at my grammar to be honest.

not grammar, but spelling.

its realize

and for number 2. usage

the correct usage is.. correct

[death rico]
