I would like to take this time to say that I am sorry to the entire Navy for my lack of activity, and I wish that I could make up for it. The truth is, that I has become distant from the Vast Empire, and I think it is time to take that long, hard break I have been needing. Every time I fall away from this place, I come back. So, with a sound mind and heavy heart, I promise that I will return. This place has meant so much to me in the thirty months and nine days that I have been with you all. I can honestly say, I count every last one of you as a friend.
Kadann, although you always seemed ethereal and distant to me, I can only hope that you consider me more than just cordial members of the same web group. I only knew you from your monthly paychecks and comments on the important topics. I wish you the best of luck with the VE and many recruits to deal with.
Cosmic, thanks for the avatar. I believe I was late on the thanks the first time, so I will thank you again to make up for it. I hope that people appreciate all the art that you do at no cost. Keep up the good work, and good luck.
Merrick, yes you probably despise me...But it is okay. I try not to hold grudges. I don't really know you and I apologize for all the bans you had to place on me. As always, I'm Breakin Rule 16!
Rizzit, I really never got to know you. I wish you luck with the Vast Empire and I promise I won't call you that name that rhymes with Drizzle.
Japheth, your name has left me confused for over a year. I will never know how to pronounce it, or if you got it from the Bible. To the only NCinC I have ever known, farewell.
Shazam, c`mon. You know it's been fun dealing with me. I'm sure you have looked forward to my next radical set of ideas. Just remember, that avatar is so old it should been in history books. LoL, keep rapping on IRC, it is hilarious.
Arturus, the bureaucrat...Good luck.
Chipmunk Man, I don't think you have ever really lost your temper with me. You were one of the best Squadron Commanders I have had. I know I was a pain, and that if I had put as much time into story posts (and grammar) as I did Reply Wars, than it would have been a lot easier on you as an SC.
Kairo, yes I didn't call you Hunter for once, you were my role model. You must have noticed that I began to include you in all my posts. Sure, I may have got on your nerves at times, but that's who I am. Thanks for the good times.
Halsey7, if you ever return to the Vast Empire, and I am not there to welcome you, this is to remind you of the good times we had with Reply wars. The constant battling that always included mountain dew somehow.
Jack Nebulax, for giving me an impossible goal to live up to with reply wars. I only wish I had the time to beat you at it.
Sayah, learn from my mistakes. There is still some time to gain some serious respect around here. Everyone spams as a n00b, don't let a bad start lose the race.
Etan, don't take things so seriously. Loosen up, and keep working hard. You have my respect, trust, and friendship. I am confident you will make yourself a legacy here if you try hard enough.
Jag Fel, if and when you come back, good luck.
Aeos...I killed Gemini. And who can forget when Spacespeed9 and I became Shiric's Knights in Shining Armor.
Garet, what can I say. I ran your nerves down worse than anyone here. Sorry, and good luck.
Trevor Evenson, I'm sorry I couldn't help Nazgul in ESC. I have made a lot of promises and plans around here that I could not follow through with. Good luck as a Squadron Commander.
Jaden, it is hard for me to admit this, but I didn't accept you as a squadron commander until you were no longer my commander. I felt that Aegis had fallen apart and I was still childishly loyal to the squadron I had first been assigned to. I still am. You were a good SC, and a good friend.
What a long, strange trip it has been, but I know I'll see you all again. Farewell, my friends. It's been swell, we'll meet up again, farther down the road.
