I'm going to make this brief, there isn't any death involved; from looking around at the boards this morning I'm not even being very original. ;)

I'm level 58; I worked freakin' hard to get there, I put in a tremendous amount of time, and for the most part I enjoyed myself a lot. But all good things come to an end, and I have a vast amount of personal issues that are going to take my undivided attention, at least for a while here.

I miss my LS enough to cry, so saying that I'll never again appear in the game is probably premature. But for those of you that I grew so close to, I still count you guys among my friends, and I don't want to lose touch with you. My absence has been more a clean break from the game than an abandonment of you.

To be honest the whole community was great to me. I'll even miss Illfearin, who used Flee while mining and always got out ahead of me. We were still civil to each other. And hey, somebody tell Illfearin that one point was mine fair and square, I was there way ahead on my screen. ;)

I have always used the same name in games and on the Net, which of course is Sioux. In the event it was taken I usually went for Siouxcourtesan, which never was. So if you're running around in some future game and see a Sioux, say hi, it's probably me. >.>

I can be harassed at the email address sioux @ mchsi.com. My AIM handle is Siouxcourtesan; I don't sign on AIM all that much, but I can be spied on there if I'm bored enough. ;)

For you guys in my LS: this decision pretty much made itself, one morning I just woke up and realized how much of my life was being negatively impacted by the amount of time I was putting into the game. I ain't no rich girl sittin' on Mount Olympus with all the leisure time in the world, and every minute I spent focusing on this, that was one more minute that wasn't going to something more important.
It might have just been that I called the imitation crabmeat salad in the fridge 'land crab meat'. You know, something had to give there, is all.

I'm still around, and once my feet are under me again maybe I'll pick up another game, and I might pop into ffxi every now and then to see how things are going.

Take care guys, I just felt I ought to say something.

Too many of these posts lately... it's hard to see anyone leave the game, even if you know they might possibly be back. And i just got to exp with you for the first time the other day ; ; No matter what though, real life comes before the game, so I can understand your decision. Take care and hope to see you back in game sometime. =D

I had a feeling I'd be seeing this soon, as I had heard through the grapevine that things were going on. Sioux, take care of yourself and it was a great pleasure to meet you and get to know you for these last couple of months. KoR was a great little LS, and will remember everything on there fondly. You are a great RDM, great player and a great person, and I'll miss you, but I totally understand that you have to do what you have to do. If you do ever pop onto the game, drop me a line so we can shoot the breeze.

Nothing more I can say than good luck in everything and keep in touch if you can. I wish you the best, Siouxie. ^^

Best of Luck in all your future endeavors.

God damn it, another one bites the dust. A good one, to boot.

Not much for me to say, Sioux. You are an outsanding person and were an outstanding player. You'll be missed.

I barely knew you, and only started talking to you in the past couple of months...

But from your posts here, I could tell you were a straight-shooting person worth respecting.

I know how the rw thing gets, so I feel your pain >.<

May She guide you and protect you in whatever you do.

Oh, one last thing: Don't give away your stuff. In the off chance you come back, it'll do you good to have all your stuff still in waiting ;)

Take care.

With everyone sayin goodbye, why do I bother coming to these forums anymore. =(

You'll be missed...even if the only memory I got is of us dying in the Citadel to get your AF. That was one of the funniest and nicest times I had in game.

/farewell

Another person i won't see whenever I need a rdm replacement ; ;. Thx for your insightful posts on these forums..i would have never learned about moldy ears or how to laugh. Truly SE should give you a free month of ffxi and gil for your hard work.

Good luck on your future endeavors =)

I never really knew you outside of reading your posts, but they were always good ones that put a smile on my face.

What can I say, another good one is taken from us.

I'll miss not getting to know you.

Good luck ; ;

Hey Sioux,

Was kind of wondering why I hadn't seen ya around for the last week or so on the LS ; ;. It won't be the same without you on all the time DX. I still remember all the times you helped me, and all the fun times I had with you and the shell when I first joined KoR way back in July of 04 or so. Those were great times =:D.

I remember all the times when we were in Yuhtunga Jungle and the Overgrown Roses would keep slowing you down with their breath XD. I also remember how when we all went to do the SAM quest together, we ended up training every Goblin and his grandmother in Zitah ;). And when we survived, we ran nekkid through Sauromouge Champaign(sp >_>?)and got slaughtered by a buncha Cockatrices and Yags at lvl 30ish anyways ^^. I'll also never forget how easy you made getting my AF pants in Eldieme seem ; ;. If it weren't for you I would have probably suffered the same fate as most of us and spent hours on end wandering inside until I became a skeleton myself XD.

Thanks for being a great friend in game, and I hope that everything works out in the end ^^. If you ever come back, I'll be there. I won't be goin nowheres for a looong while ;)

(peace) (Outer Horutoto Ruins) (Home key.) (Slice).

P.S. Don't forget, Chibikaiser (drinks) (Blood) for (fun) =:D

I was wondering why i havnt seen you in arround ; ;

This is sad, ive seen many threads like these with well known people leaving because FFXi is effecting there lives. We all know that FFXI is effecting our lives, but when does it go too far? Sometimes i wish FFXI wasnt so time consuming .

/goodbye Sioux

I'll miss you, Sioux. Good luck. [Take Care.]


"See The Sun" -Dido

I'm comin' 'round to open the blinds
You can't hide here any longer
My God you need to rinse those puffy eyes
You can't last here any longer

And yes they'll ask you where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Come on take my hand
We're going for a walk, I know you can
You can wear anything as long as it's not black
Please don't mourn forever
She's not coming back

And yes they'll ask you where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Do you remember telling me you found the sweetest thing of all
You said one day this was worth dying for
So be thankful you knew her at all
But it's no more

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
I promise you you'll see the sun again

See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again

See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again

Wow another one /cry
It's always sad to see someone go even someone who I can see is loved my many.
I wish I would have met you in game (even tho that name seems familiar). All in all check in here at least say "Hi" and visit your friends here.

Have fun with what ever you may want to do next, and good luck.

I never got to know you (and have only seen you ingame once that I can remember) but I loved reading your informative posts. You've helped make me a better RDM and I thank you. You will be missed.

Wow Chibi that almost made me tear up thinking of all the good times. Siouxie Q. you have been a great friend and a great person. It really makes me sad to see Gailen and you go ;; I just wanted to say good luck and if you drop onto another MMO send me an email I'll also be traveling around from game to game over the summer. It was truly great getting to know you two and still I hope to talk to you another day. :)

P.S. Now how the hell am I supposed to get my AF Helm without teh uberfightmage? :) Thanks for everything
