I wasn't really sure where I wanted to post this, let alone what I would actually say. However, it all started in this forum, so I suppose it ends here too.
My career in AO has finally drawn to a close, almost verbatim of the aforementioned article. AO swept me off my feet, propelled me into fantastic beatiful world, and grand escape from reality with numerous adventures, wonderful interesting people (the Chiks, Bloodsheds, Steffani's, Letahs, Aly's, Logic's, OrderAngel, Ver's, Satan, Resta etc, etc), allies (Sky, Vergil, Phinger, Arinia, Spyder, Zero, Noda, Hermy, Veenus, Blizz, Nothin, Mini, Nosson, Skorp, Pian, Princ3, argghh too many to count), and even your enemies or random charactors that shake things up (Divine/Angel, Besh, Abid, Pomy, Fryli, and queen T).
It's the game that hooks you, and soap opera within that keeps you coming back in, the friends, the battles, the memories of what was. It's time for me to cash in my chips, and take my fond memories with me before like any good casino, tries to take away it all away piece by piece. (I'm pretty sure I came out ahead, but you can never be too sure until you actually leave Vegas)
As such, to end this on lighter note, I invite you all to travel back, have a gander and share in the journey of Anthony "Synical" Ye...
errr.... Candyman.
I will miss you all, and wish you well. Take care my friends, my fellow gamblers. May you take away more then what you put in.
Peace.
