The time has come...

  1. ...the Tiger said, to talk of many things.

    Five years ago, my friend Bobcat convinced me to take my Minecraft adventures online, and join a server. Five years since I became part of the community of EMC.

    I am by nature something of an internet nomad. I roam from one game to the next as the mood strikes me, and rarely look back once my interest in the game has ended. For Minecraft, that ending was a good two years or so back... but the people here, the community, makes EMC so much more than just a game. Through the highs and lows, good times and bad, Empire Minecraft has been like a second home to me. Despite my love of the written word, it's difficult to express just how much you all have meant to me these last five years.

    -Looks like you're all stuck with me for a while longer, since apparently I suck at this whole "quitting" thing. That doesn't mean you'll be seeing me around in-game, since Minecraft as a game hasn't been interesting for me in ages now, but as long as I'm still leaving my muddy pawprints all over the forum, I may as well stop pretending I'm not here...

    Which makes it even more difficult to say what comes next: "Goodbye."

    Some of you have already known this was coming. I reached the decision back in December, when I realized I was simply done with Minecraft. I've hoped for a long time that I'd find that inspirational spark again, but it simply hasn't come. And so, for me, it's at last time to move on.

    However, before I turn the last page and end this chapter of my life, there is one last thing I have to finish. A "going-away" present, of sorts, something to give back to everyone here on EMC for everything you've all given me. It's far from complete, but hopefully Krysyy won't mind me giving a little preview.


    (No, it's not a library.)

    For now, let me just say thank you all for being one of the best communities I've known.
    I wish you all the best.

    EDIT:
    LoneStar wants to decapitate me and mount my head on a tiny shrine, but needs input on what the plaque should read.
    Help him out?

  6. Oh Kephras, Although we haven't talked in a while, your the spark on SMP8 and your the spark in many EMC hearts. You shouldn't leave us completely, the forums are always there. Although Minecraft left you, I hope we haven't left you. I hope to see you sometimes on the forums and in-game, even if its not likely I hope. By the way your little present looks amazing. And a great builder left the Build Team, sadly again.
