And so there were no more cookies left..Follow

Oh come on, you saw everyone else doing it so it's my turn to hop
on the bandwagon and say my goodbye too.


As of tonight 3/22/05 11:36pm CST
I am no longer going to be logging into POL or FFXI for that matter.

There are several things that bring me to this decision, none of which have nothing to do with this game, yet have everything to do with it.

it's funny though when you put so much time into something it becomes a part of your life. Almost like that extra arm "per se" that you were born with. And as pathetic as it sounds I am actually crying right now as I write this, but the fact of the matter is I need to step away and take some time to literally "Smell the roses." It seems for so long I was deluded by the grandeur of this game that I forgot that was what it was...... a game.

Who knows maybe I'll reactivate before the 3 month period I have in which to come back to the game. But I do promise you all one thing. If I do not come back, there will be no other running around Bismarck as the one and only Zander.

Thank you to those of you who made this game what it was to me and made it so that I had fun even when I was having a mad love affair with death.
Someone told me tonight over AIM as I was cementing the deactivation of my content ID's that I was not putting
a "game" away but that I was putting away my friends that I'd made there as well. Not true, those of you who I did befriend and grew close to will always have a way of contacting me.

My Elvaan... (you know who you are) I love you. {/cry}
Evilpickles my Tarutaru {/cry}

It's been real Bismarck but it's time to go refill the cookie jar with some Oreos ^^

Oh man... another good one gone. Now I understand why you were so suicidal helping us with G2 last night ; ;

I hate to see ya go but I respect anyone who has the balls to leave this game. It's easier said than done.

Fare-thee-well, noble Red Mage. Be seeing you again...

P.S. Does this mean I can have Jnag?!

Zander I hate to see ya go , just got to meet ya recently, but I understand and wish you the best in all that you do. Thank you again for all that you've done. This little taru will miss ya.

ZANDER! YOU CAN'T GO!

It wasn't because I left the pt was it?? =[

Now I REALLY feel guilty.

But seriously...I didn't even see it coming. Too bad we didn't get to play w/ each other more often. In game. Fighting things. Yes.

Come back one day, k? Sometimes all you need is a few weeks to recirculate back into the general public.

oh my. you newbs XD Zander is not Evilpickles...

Evilpickles is Property OF Zander... as in (Mine) (TaruTaru)

lmao

; ; look what you people did to my paladin... my elvaan!

Good luck Zandor.. you will be missed... even by us lowly peoples

Take care. Vana'diel is a little more dim today with another light gone.

Before helping with G2 the other night I think my only run in with you was a simple /wave in passing. During the G2 run I was thinking these two just aren't right, Jnag being the other. Then with your actions after the mishap with the last mob I realized this guy is a warrior in spirit.

Sometimes when playing this game people get to let thier inner warriors out. I know that with me I will be the last one standing or die trying because thats how it is for me now in life, the army will do that to you. So if this Noble Red Mage's actions the other night were an example of his warrior spirit then the recruiters need to find him. I'm gonna shut up now, take it for what its worth.

Take care, good luck in what ever life brings your way.

/em remembers when Zander got laid to this song.

oh my! /blush
/also remembers when zander got laid to this song...
/blush

I think Jnag is running the first NA Bismarck FFXI cult >.>



I heard him say in the outskirts of Jugner Forest near the waterfall where him and his followers hold their weekly rituals <.<

Wow, I swore I was going to stay away from this thread and
this website altogether.... but it seems that somehow I had
a huge impact on a lot of people who thought that I'd forgotten
them somewhere along the way.

The emails that I have received really make me want to second
guess my actions and quite frankly have literally made me tear up
as I was recanted of tales of a baby linkshell I once belonged to,
of the times I died to help a certain person.... Or memories of an
alliance gone awry....

Perhaps I was too hasty in my decision. Someone has it in thier
signature on this website.... "FFXI is like crack." Perhaps I might not go permenantly... mayhaps just a tiny break ^^

P.S. Solrain, you dare touch Jnag while I am out of game and I gaurantee that I will personally gouge your eyes out with blunt rusty objects (J/K), but seriously keep away

/em glowers at Solrain.
/point Jnag
/s {mine}

P.P.S. Oh my god, Evilpickles is and always will forever be mine. No I am not Evilpickles for those of you who became confused, but without a shadow of a doubt she is MY tarutaru!

Oh and Kitaru, I do expect a pearl to Darkcoven when I do return.

That's my pantented quote. And yes I quit about a year ago with no intention to return, but I had seen what happened to friends that had deleted their characters and having to start over would suck.

I knew that there was a remote possibility I would return, so I kept paying for 3 months, also it was the only way that I knew to contact the friends I had made here. One day making fun of the geeks I met here I felt a little nostalgic and began to play only on weekends. Once I had this great party in Quicksand caves chaining like crazy, I was hooked and began my journey anew. Zander you will be missed and hopefully only for a little while, So you may send me the most polite help request I ever had sent to me since I started playing in November 2003.

I think the most polite people in this game are 3 people from the interactions I have had:

1) Singular
2) Nightsintodreams
3) Zander

Good luck and come back as quickly as possible, yeah we are selfish, dont take too long we dont want to miss you for too long.
