Whats up pard, why did you quit us?


I will talk without emoticons. I no longer felt part of the empire as I felt misread (yet again) by Tech's game reference. I took it to heart. I do think good thoughts about Tech and all of y'all. I have learned that to truly appreciate one of God's gifts you must lose it and then get it back. I have done so with my gifts numerous times. I feel most closely aligned with Guardians because I am very much a Guardian type of person. I am more apt to defend others or "wrong" in general than I am even myself. I probably go overboard in this but I have cobbled together an outlook on life that goes thusly:

Plan your life as if you will live forever.
Live your life as if it was your last day.

My faith and these words are my Alpha-Omega, Yin-Yang or whichever your belief system.

I am at a crossroads with many activities to choose (we all choose our activities). I could say more but I would have to preface this for "those who care", or interchangeably "if you bore easily". I say these statements as self deprecating to me. I have a lot of respect for y'all and the fellowship here even if you don't read me as such.

Special note to Mace, Sir I looked forward to locking horns with you on whatever battlefield (mock battles mind you). I felt that you would make a formidable opponent. I even had a victory line written in case God gave me the gift of victory. Too bad you'll probably never see it as I think you would have liked it.

Bye for now.

Amen to that.

But I don't think that Tech meant anything to offend you, I wish you would reconsider leaving us. Tech is a very nice guy, and I don't think that he would do or say anything intentionally to offend you.

Don't forget that our Lord taught us to do unto others as we expected to be done unto us. We need your presence here because you are a fountain of inspirations to many of us. I know I can't change your mind, but at least give it a thought.

Tech is a nice guy! We planned to have the foundation empire be a place of active players both game and forum. We hoped it would be a place for fun and enjoyment. Sure we talk about becoming #1 but lets face reality, that will not happen, Guardians have too great a lead and the game is too old to attract much more new talent.

The group we do have playing are varied in their talents and abilities and we like that.

I no longer felt part of the empire as I felt misread (yet again) by Tech's game reference. I took it to heart.


I think that you are being too sensitive. Electronic communications are not the best place to carry on a conversation. Humans need to listen and see the person to get the meaning of a conversation. To my knowledge there is no person within this empire that has a personal problem with anyone in or outside of this empire. We are generally a nice group of people.

I feel most closely aligned with Guardians because I am very much a Guardian type of person.


I can't dispute you here except to say that this is a game not a lifestyle and if you feel that the team you want to be with is the guardians please go ahead and quickly join them.

Newfy and Aww Nuts,

When we loose one, it diminishes us all. I understand the loss of desire to keep turning in games, but I hope you will both still be around in the forums.

My new player will be with the Foundation. I will play Galciv, not the metaverse game though.


Absolutely agree with this. Once scores start to yoyo the meta is no longer fun. Start over and play for fun. LW has only submitted one game as the new LW but it's his company we enjoy more then his meta contributions. I know the whole community feels the same about you Newfie. Cannot wait for the next Meta Review as it looks like you'll have alot of news.

There is no such thing as wasted time, only badly planed time

The future way of Icho Tolot is shadowed by an unknown force. Once it'll have cleared again we will see were the paths of the Force lead

Well said Newfy. I hate even talking over the phone. Face to face and body language is what it takes to truly communitcate with someone. I know myself I tend to go to far trying to be funny and I read it later and just shake my head and hope people take my musing's for what I intended and not to heart. You have to give people the benifit of the doubt in electronic communication and that is why the emoticons help.

Are you related to my sidekick Dumbohat, I saw your picture and that is what he looks like except he has long ears and a funny tail.

Welcome mayito8888, hope you enjoy it here! I see what you're doing Newfy, and I understand completely. I'm kind of getting tired of trying to get up in the metaverse myself.(At least the present metaverse, as for the new meta....) I know I will never be very high in the meta, and I don't mind that. I'm mean heck, I'm still a growing kid, and my interests are changing and my priorites are reorganizing. (Except for God, he's my number one priority, then my family.) I like to play different games, and then I go back and play a game again that I got tired of. (Thats what I did with this game.) So I understand you Newfy; I understand that once the game turns into a mad rave to get points,(or whatever it may turn into for yourself) instead of just for fun, as what every game should be for, it sometimes just gets dull, or tiring, or whatever. So whatever your desision is, and whatever you do, I hope it brings you peace and enjoyment. --- PS: I hope my post wasn't too long.

What happens is that sometimes the system falls asleep and when you hit the buttom its still sleeping and then when you hit it a third time it wakes up and goes like this "Hey bud what is all the fuzz about, here I will post it" and then it posts the same thing 3 times, happened to me a bunch of time on the past when I used to post from dialup at home. So don't worry we have you covered, keepposting, those system hiccuppsc come and go very often.
