| So, not necessarily goodbye, but certainly...adieu. |
|
I am not sure to undertand correctly this sentence. In french, "adieu" means a definite farewell, that new meeting isn't expected, the next time for a meeting being the Judgement Day.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! 
Not you too Wombie! Please come back soon!

Sad day for the Metaverse, indeed!!!!

Well I think that I will keep my fight until I reach 300 games and lets see what happens after that.

Not sure how many Special Forces are left to read this, but I just want you all to know you've earned the respect of everyone around here. More than that, you've earned friendship.
When I was in the Fellowship and we were sitting in first, I watched in sadness as GROSS split apart. From the start, I sort of wondered what Special Forces would become. When your small group of talented players rose through the Metaverse, I was happy that through it all you were polite, humble and good sports. Even when you passed the Fellowship, I had to smile because you guys certainly showed the power that a small group could wield, but you did it with style and class.
I am very lucky to be a part of the Guardians and in many ways it reminds me of Special Forces. You guys made number one by being the most active empire around. Just like SpecFor, the Guardians have done very well due to almost 100% participation. But success has it's price.
Do you guys think that if you were still fighting for fourth or fifth place, you would not be interested? I think the thrill of the Metaverse is rising. Once at the top, it gets very lonely. It's a risk that all first place empires can attest to.
I am truly going to miss you Wombat. Your wit and wisdom has made the Metaverse a very enjoyable and classy place to hang my hat. You can move onto new things and play other games, but you will always be a legend here. Good luck and God Speed to you, my friend.
Sincerely,
Barry "The Guru" (Wombie knows what that means)

Thanks for the memories.

I still believe that you should open the empire for new players to join the SF and help the SF ship to keep sailing the Metaverse.

| I think if you read the posts you will understand why this is not such a good idea. |

I think I know Wombie and the original core group of SF better than most. Given the circumstances, I'd say they are doing the right thing.
Not to slight anyone by naming names (and accidently forgetting others) It isn't the same without you. Not by a longshot.
So here's mud in yer eye.!!! (Downs a pinot and breaks the glass) Oh don't worry, I quaffed some of the good crystal from the Anzacs. It's not your glass.

I'm still here! I shan't say anything about Wombie's adieu or the other retirements. We'll see what happens. When I get my life in order I intend to be back in force. I've been remiss about participating here, which has added to the general SF malaise I suppose. But as long as I know my mates read the thread every now and then, it is still worth posting.
And I'm quietly excited about some of my great story ideas for seriously injuring Quack. As well as causing misery to some other favourite characters.

Thanks. I knew that there were some subtilities when you see a french word in an english sentence

Uh oh. Red alert.

Tony Robbins is a multi-millionare seller of tapes and holder of motivation seminars. In other words. He couldn't do squat in the real world and makes his money by duping people into thinking he can motivate em to sell more cars, homes, trucks, medical equipment, or whatever.
Pretty much a quack.
