Toodle Pip: To say goodbye to a very dear friend.
And that is what I am doing.
After almost a year and a half in this game I have decided I am going to bid goodbye to this game, and to all of you who play it. This has been a difficult decision, but I think it's for the best in the end.
I've seen quite a lot while here, but far less than some, and I would like to think I've made some difference, particularily in my main area of Foreign Affairs, in which I am still the longest serving Minister to date. I was once Vice President, in a term where I was to be President (based on numbers alone, as it was back then), but I was manipulated and coaxed to settle for Vice President by one of the most cunning operators in eIreland, who remains with us today, in a series of very promiment positions. It would do no good to name this individual, I'm sure most of you are aware who they are, and they have cultivated a very high level of personal fame at this stage, so I won't sully the opinions of those of you who adore them. I never really had the appetite for it after that, even if I was asked quite a few times. Of course, this person doesnt operate alone, there are a number of these type of people in Ireland, who do not embody what Ireland was when I first joined, and that is, I think, a shame. There are many lovely people, new and old in this game, and I wish you all the best of luck, there are far too many to mention them all. Over the next few days I'll be messaging a few of you, and donated some of my meagre possesions out. I'll be checking my Inbox until Saturday, so until then you can reach me.
I want to end the way I e-Lived, without making a big fuss, without blowing my own trumpet, without a convoluted article to sate my pride. So,
Goodbye.

Goodbye Darragh o/
Even those not around back then will figure out the mystery figure if they read a certain historical article currently in the media! It's strange how fundamentally different our experience of the game can be after a long period of time. Take care man.
Another giant of ehistory laid to rest 😞
sorry to see you go. Good luck in life.
Goodbye Darragh.
Oh no! You can't leave!
You've been around my whole eLife, You will be sorely missed.
Good bye Darragh take care man o7
Time for the wishy-washy...
There was a time when I thought you were a troublesome little rogue, but you managed to become one of my dearest companions on this journey. Your silent yet stalwart dedication to Ireland has not been lost on us that know you.
Fare well, friend.
Will be really sad to see you go, a loyal friend and a great player.
now send the gold & iep..lol
come back soon.
Goodbye old man.
Best of luck 🙂
/salute
I've never really got to know you but good luck.
Darragh, I don't think we ever had a conversation or debated in the Dail or anything but I have read your articles and posts and have always had a high opinion of you and after reading this goodbye I am very sorry I did not get to know you better. Class act all the way.
Good luck with whatever you do.
Good Luck Darragh , May your days be many and your troubles be few !!
I still regret our falling out. One of the few that was unrepairable. You were always an honorable and honest man Darragh. The only reason your goodbye is less painful for me than others is that I have already missed you for a great while.
Fair winds and following seas.
sorry to see you go. Good luck in life.
And another good guy leaves Erepublik 🙁
;_;
also we need moar ragequits
(kiss to the cheek)
NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
wait a second
*checks wikipedia*
so hes not the bloke of mock the week?
crisis averted.
Darragh, I hardly knew ye. Good luck. o7
Darragh it pains me to see you leave. You hold many fond memories in my mind, even if I never did get around to having you proofread my papers : P
Darragh..you were one of the first people I got to know, through our participation in the Dail, back when it meant something.
I usually gravitate towards the common-sense and levelheaded, and thus, why you were one of the players I always respected.
Like you, I have not been as active as in the past and am wondering if the game is worth playing. Good luck, and it was nice to know you.
goodbye m8
i no longer remember why we stoped talkin and to be honest i no longer want to
you were there with me at the beginning and i have kept a distant interest in yourself among others
good luck to you in future man
all the best
binksy
Darragh, this honestly makes my eyes misty. In real life, honest! If you are anything in real life like you portray yourself on both this game and IRC, then you are a fine and honorable individual. I am glad to have known you and I wish you the best in wherever life takes you and in whatever you do. This is truly sad. I will miss you terribly. I count myself most fortunate to have been able to consider you a friend. Again, best of luck to you.
