Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Fellow MxO subscribers,
It’s time for me to jack out for good. My account expires next Wednesday, March 4. The truth is, I’ve been gone for a long time and I’ve just kept the accounts going with the hope that something would happen. But honestly, this game hasn’t been the same for me in quite a while.
I’ve been here since beta back in November 2004, and I’d like to thank everyone who I’ve gotten the chance to know over the past 4.5 years. There’s way too many of you to name individually, and the ones that I’ve really become close friends with will stay in touch with me anyways.
Overall, this has been by far one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. But unfortunately, I only played primarily for the story and the community, and seeing as the story’s all but gone now and nobody ever really cared about player events due to the lack of canon-ness, I think it’s time to go.
I hope that those of you that choose to remember me, choose to do so for my work with Algorithm: Black rather than anything else. Those two months (build-up + the actual event) was the most fun I’ve had in this game since the departure of the Live Events Team after the Death of the Destroyer event, and I’m glad I spent the money I did to help entertain those of you who cared enough to take part.
For those of you that wonder what exactly I did with A:B, well, I helped Phrack write a good portion of the initial story as well as keep things organized with the rest of the team. In addition, I also wrote the screenplays for most of the cinematics and filmed a good number of them myself and worked with Video to get the final product ready for what we considered “live.” Algorithm: Black still had a good portion of story left to tell, but things happen for a reason and it never got told. There was still one last major chapter to go through that would’ve finally brought things full circle that I had written. Hopefully in the not-too-distant future that story will be completed in the form of a series of stories. I think a good portion of those of you who remained would have found it intriguing.
If anyone wants to keep in touch with me, my xfire is yahweh2517 and you can always reach me there. And who knows, perhaps I'll pop my head in every now and then, but for now, I don't see that happening.
And so, without taking up anymore of your valuable time, I will now unveil all of my various personas:
