TheApostrophe's Story, Good-bye, and Hello

Discussion in 'Community Discussion' started by TheApostrophe, Jan 19, 2015.

  1. Hello, people of the Empire. On July 12th, 2014, I joined the Empire. I walked out of the Tutorial and was greeted by happy welcomes all around. I claimed my res on SMP4, at 8074. I liked SMP4 immediately.
    For a while, I did nothing with my residence. After a while, I finally decided to make a potion-making machine, and somebody helped me build one using a design of their friend's. After that, I mainly used it to build speed potions. I didn't do much else with my res other than lurking around and brewing potions.
    I got into PVP, for a bit, but I never had much equipment. For the most part, I would just run in with a wooden sword or something and poke people until they cooked me with a couple hits of their swords. It was a good laugh.
    Most recently, this winter, I hosted my first and last event: a Secret Santa Event for 2014. It went well, for the most part, but I kind of screwed it up at the end in that I didn't prepare for the fact that some people wouldn't get their gifts in on time, and as a result I was quite surprised and struggled to make it through.
    So now, 190 days (maybe I should've waited until my 200th... oh, whatever) of hiding, lurking, grammatical jokes, and genuine happiness, I've decided to add a period to TheApostrophe's Empire sentence. So, this is goodbye. I had been slowly moving into inactivity already, and now I've simply decided to be a lurker. Don't worry, I won't be gone completely! I'll still be on the forums every so often to have fun with you all (you are a great community!), and I'll pop in ingame a couple times a week to take care of stuff. I just won't be thinking of myself as a member of the community any longer and am no longer attempting to acknowledge my activity as being active. So, yeah, goodbye. I'll see you around!

    Oh, I almost forgot. I'm an alt whose owner has simply decided to terminate my secrecy, hence my "leave." So you'll still see me every day, just as active as I've always been, but you won't see me every day (ha ha, mind twisters!). This account, from here on out, is simply an alt and not an independent being, just as it has always secretly been. So, uh, that's it. I kind of confused myself there, I think. Anyway, TheApostrophe out! Goodbye from me, and hello from the real me!

  2. Was wondering when you were gonna finally do this =P
  3. Was going to on my 100th day, but then for whatever reason I decided to wait. :p
  4. This is not a troll. I approve this message. :p
  5. hashhog
    u crazy not telling us you had an alt
    just like the situation with l3a8 and _aquarain_ (they're both alts, _aquarain_ is rainbowpony1000 and l3a8 is... i wont tell you)
  6. Wait... I was like "Hashhog's the first to like the post... That's kind of suspicious..." and only then I opened the spoiler. I didn't expect you to give it away. But really, a second time? :eek: I have been following an alt without knowing twice now! :oops: You two are good!

    If you're wondering, the other person that fooled me is FDNY. I liked CommanderCustard a lot and was really disappointed when he got inactive. Only months later I discovered his true identity...

    Really though, great job both of you, I've enjoyed your presence a lot!

  7. Apostrophe, my dear, death-loving Apostrophe...
    Why would you leave on an alt but not a main account?
    But I knew it was you all along >: D

  11. Oh, that would definitely be a very good plot twist!
  12. I promise that that wasn't me on either account. :p

  14. MIND = BLOWN. Goodbye from the game (?) but hiya, you're still here in the forums! :)

    OK, I'm lost now. :confused:

  17. Bump for those still thinking I'm a punctuation mark. :p
  18. And then to think that there are places which wouldn't allow things like this...(offtopic, just mentioned for context). SO here we are; a good display of how much fun it can be (for both the owner as well as the audience) when having and using a second "alt" account :)

    I was completely unaware, obviously, and well; the only reason I know your name is because I was a (surprised) participant in that Secret Santa Sale, errr: the Secret Santa gift away! :D

    SO yeah... a warm goodbye, or hello or welcome back or auf wiedersehen from me as well! *

    * just use the greet / comment you like best :)
