And as I make my exit

Well, as some of you already knew, I'm quitting the game for good. To keep on with it, I've already liquidated all my assets and will donate all this money shortly to various organisation. That should keep me out of the game for good.

I wanted to writte this article for some time, not that I've been incredibly active as of late (probably the past year as a whole), but I figured I owed it to all the people I've met over the years. After all, spending a little more than 4 and a half year does get you attached to people. That was the hardest thing to leave behind.

There is no grand reason behind my departure, merely the fact that I have almost no more time to do anything but 2 clicking, and it's more of a task nowadays, or even a chore, than an entertainement. I'm sure the game can still provide much to people, but in my case, I've been around and did probably all I could, thus there was nothing left for me to achieve. So let's start the old fart memories before I lose you all into endless ramblings.

Canada: Oh my, where to begin? So much happened there, so many projects. I could talk about my debut as a simple officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, an awesome time, whether it was from being in the only francophone platoon (RAWR22!!!), or being the XO for the entire army, I had a blast. Especially when we did that little fake coup d'etat to shake things up, the long sword rebellion. It was worth being courtmashalled all the way! I really did have fun with TCO as well, you guys were a**, but that's made you great in every sense, especially Temu. As for the political life, Being a MoD, MoFA, or even president did really step my game up. I've been able to change things on a much larger scale than at any point in my eLife. Fortunately I had mentors and friends to support whenever it would get really hot. Some days were shitty, some days were good, but nonetheless, the community was deeply engaged, and I really did appreciate it.

EMC: During a good time, I considered myself more an international citizen rather than a citizen of any country, and while that happened I was very involved in Eden at the command level. The Eden Marine's corp was the closest definetion of a home I had at the time. I've also been able to work with some of the greatest diplomat and commander that I know of in this game (personnally opinion, don't throw any rock!), people like Avec, Petsku and Lavanche... Yeah fins are that awesome! : D

United State of Amurika: I've met some great people in the US, who all welcomed me with open arms when I left my home. The community is amazing, or at least it was, I'm too absent these days to even confirm it. I haven't seen all that america has to offer. Basicly because I put loyalty above many values, I've been with the same people, party and MU ever since I joined. Some would undoubtably call it blind loyalty. But I never had to regret it so far. I had a blast in the AMP. Despite being an outspoken opponent to some of the party tenent (and they know who they are!), I've always been able to keep it civil with them. Because even if I would not like their IG persona, I would always be able to talk to the RL person on IRC and enjoy it. I think a lot of people should make the difference! The AMP treated me good and never prevented me from voicing my opinion. As for the Military, I've been with the old fgs in the marines. Truly good times. Even if there has been mistakes in the time I was there, they kept it real all along. In my mind, the people in the US Military were very level headed, for good or ill. I want to thank everyone in there who were just awesome and dedicated, and an insane output of dmg as well!



As a final note, I'd like to thank the following person for all they did for me (in no particular order):
