Banana Lord tips his hat to the eWorld.

Day 1,196, 12:22 • Published in USA USA • by Pheno Sony

Greetings USA. No doubt that you will see many articles from many people with this message. But I have to follow the crowd as usual, and leave.

I’ve thought a lot about what to say at this point, even months before I knew this was actually going to happen. I’ve mulled over various goodbye’s, a huge calling out article in which I reality check people, etc etc. But frankly, it all seems rather difficult. So I’ve decided on one way. A thank you for everyone.

Organizations:

The UIP: Who saw that coming? Hehe.... Anyway, the UIP has literally been the reason I’ve stayed alive for so long. I honestly thought about leaving the country or leaving the UIP to have fun in the world, but I can’t. The UIP is all about family and love. I can’t imagine myself anywhere without it. Hell, even if I quit completely, i’d be compelled to check out the forums and IRC weekly. They’ve made such a huge imapct in my eLife, and my RL as well. In my eRep life, they’ve made sure that what I wanted was taken care of. If I wanted to be in congress, they’d work hard to make sure I got it. If I wanted a job in the executive cabinet, I was referenced out. Its a party about the people, not about numbers or about statistics. We might be a fairly large group of meta gamers, but that’s where we’ve learned how to function. And live. And grow. And love. I urge you, even with my departing from the game, to go over there and check it out. Join it for a week. I promise this to you 100%, you will have fun.

The Interior cabinet of the US: The interior has some amazing programs, a few of which I've been a director of. It’s ever growing and ALWAYS needs help. Frankly, it was a great amount of fun to watch SO MANY newer players jump in and ask for food or information, and grow up to be major people in our country. Let me give you an example. The Flying Unicorn Squad helped out haliman when he started out his eLife. And he became POTUS. We all start out small.

The US army: The army was one of the only times I had fun in a military branch. Before my leaving, I really wanted to rejoin the army. With a full team of dedicated people, they’re simply amazing. I want to suggest that, with the impending war probably happening, that everyone joins a military or militia. But personally, you should join the army. Its amazing fun.

I wanted to reserve this section for the major influences of my eLife. These people all mean the world to me, and I can’t imagine my eLife without them. So this is a special goodbye for them.


Kazeal: My first eHusband. Hahahaha... Man..So many words come to mind when I think of you. But honestly, I couldn’t even describe you. You are so amazing, and are always there for me. You made sure in the beginning that I got active and going. You constantly made sure I didn’t fly off the handle. You were my keeper (and my lover :3) I’ll cya on facebook man.

Justin McCravok: I’ll be 100% honest. I always have and will always continue to see you as competition. Hence why so many bets between us. 😃. We always seemed to naturally work together really well. You always will rock my socks. You’ll make an amazing POTUS someday soon. Cya man.

Hadrian X: My favorite story of why we met. You accidentally pinged me on IRC trying to get someone else’s attention. And you became one of the greatest friends I've had in a very long while. Your bunker is one of the greatest hangouts ever. I honestly would hang out on IRC for way longer then I should have because of your bunker. You have been a great friend, reading over my silly banana related articles. I would constantly confide in you because I trust ya. I’ll cya.

Shino: Look I named you. Lolol.

Herr Nicholas: Whore

Dan Heylin, S-Mac31, Jason Stiltner: It’s probably rude to group ya’ll like this, but hey. It’s MY quitting article! I love you guys so much. You really made me exciting to sign into IRC daily. Seeings your posts in the forums was always fun to track and follow. I’ll honestly miss you guys.

Speedcat: Hey! I mentioned you! Lol. I’ll be honest, when I first started my DSoI job, I hated you. But then I learned that I like to thrive into proving you wrong. Hell, I even kept your quote: [12:49:19] good f***ing job this month so far 🙂 It bums me out that we could have been great friends, and now I’m leaving. Stay cool cool cat.

Jankems and Colin Lantrip: Damn monkeys. You happy now? You’ve officially killed the Sony family of banana’s. Jerks..

Athanaric: You always asked me what was your biggest problem as PP. I have your answer. You’re insane. That’s it. If you calmed down on the trolling and focused on what’s important, you’d become a great politician. Keep working.

TheDillPickl: You always made me laugh so hard at anything you posted. And only until recently did I see you had a serious side too. You’re crazy fun. I wish I could have gotten to know you more.

I’m sure there are people I've missed. To those, I wana say that I’m sorry for not naming you. But everyone i’ve met has had made this game interesting, regardless if it was good or bad. To me, this game meant more then just something to log into and click a few buttons. It’s where I escaped RL to become something different. Well, at first. Then I came on to hang out with some amazing people. My eFriends have kept me here way past my prime. But my time is coming to an end.

As much as it kills me, but do not expect visits from me on IRC. It hurts to not be able to continue to chat with ya’ll, but frankly I hate the game so much, I cant around it anymore. I’m done. It’s over.

Zipping up my banana peel for the last time.
