  1. I will most certainly try to be there. On which toon, I do not know.
  2. And yet, despite this rumor being proved false, we can at least be patient with our other attempts to save the game.

    A Fitting Poem

    I wrote this poem a number of years ago, and keep finding places to post it where suitable.


    Farewell my friend,
    This is the end,
    We have travelled far together,
    And now our paths split.

    Perhaps we shall meet again,
    In some far away land,
    Perhaps one day,
    In some not so difficult times,
    We will dance and sing,
    And joke has we had before.

    Your wit will always be with me,
    And my wit will travel with you.
    For though we are apart,
    We will always be together,
    Through the wisdom that we shared.



    Oh, and another one, while I think about it:


    Bear in mind, this is my first work.


    In Darkness,
    Live many,
    In Light,
    Live few.
    I am Lightbringer,
    Bearer of torch and blade,
    Guide of the wandering,
    Seeker of the lost.
    Torch of love, and blade of truth,
    I seek those who know not,
    That which I do.
    Servant of all,
    Leader of few,
    Strong in weakness,
    Proud in humility,
    Call me not one of your own,
    For belong to you I do not.
    I serve the King,
    With my whole heart.
    This body and soul,
    Do not belong to me,
    The one who wears them,
    But to the One who made them.
    Fear is not known to me,
    Nor is hate or sorrow.
    My action is guided,
    Only by love.
    My lips speak truth,
    To those who do not care,
    My passion is tempered,
    By the hardness of will.
    Know this, I am not the first,
    And I pray I am not the last.
    To stand against the rising tide,
    And face death always,
    That is my purpose.
    Few ever choose my path,
    For Courage is my name.
    Boldly I go, where none dare
    To even look.
    Virtue and Hope are my daughters,
    Strength and Wisdom are my sons.
    Trust them, if you trust me.
    Lightbringers,
    Hear my words,
    Spoken of the heart,
    And crafted in the soul.
    Do not settle for those things
    Which come easy, but fully strive
    For the greater goal,
    That comes in victory.
  4. Anyone thought of asking George Takei?
  5. I'm surprised at that last one. Very upbeat!
  6. I'd love to see Paragon become a standalone studio.

    Finally have my blaster get through an ITF without dying.

It may die anyway, but we will not sit idle and watch it fade away.

    PLEASE be true!

    What would be awesome is if it was a very public statement.

    I hate goodbyes

    Sooner,

    You'll always have a place on my Normandy crew. (Probably as my Chakwas Ersatz.)

    If Bioware ever makes a Mass Effect MMO, you'll most definatly find me there.
  12. OH, and Invictus.

    Out of the night that covers me,
    Black as the pit from pole to pole,
    I thank whatever gods may be
    For my unconquerable soul.

    In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    Beyond this place of wrath and tears
    Looms but the Horror of the shade,
    And yet the menace of the years
    Finds and shall find me unafraid.

    It matters not how strait the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll.
    I am the master of my fate:
    I am the captain of my soul.


    We will meet again, somewhere.
  13. These lyrics came to mind.

    Think of me, think of me fondly
    When we've said goodbye
    Remember me once in a while
    Please promise me, you'll try

    Then you'll find that once again you long
    To take your heart back and be free
    If you'll ever find a moment
    Spare a thought for me

    We never said our love was evergreen
    Or as unchanging as the sea
    But if you can still remember
    Stop and think of me

    Think of all the things
    We've shared and seen
    Don't think about the way
    Things might have been

    Think of me, think of me waking
    Silent and resigned
    Imagine me trying too hard
    To put you from my mind

    Recall those days, look back on all those times
    Think of those things we'll never do
    There will never be a day
    When I won't think of you

  14. My All-Blaster Positron Task Force

    Getting to know Kyo, Stalemate, Cassieopia, BamaHulkers and BamaWolfie, Grey, Saint and Snowkitty, Arch, and everyone else.

    The support and encouragement you all gave me 2 years ago when I was at the darkest point in my life... I'll be honest, you all literally saved my life. There were several nights where I had the bottle of pills in my hand, but you helped me weather the storm.

    There are many more things to say, but I'm finally starting to break.


    I love you all. Keep in touch!
  15. A number of years ago, my gaming group set 3.5 D&D aside, and took to the skies of Paragon. Now, for the first time in years, we are taking up the dice again. A full circle. It's sort of fitting, if you think about it.

    Same here, I reupped a 6 months sub at the beginning of august. There's no way in hell I would have done that if I knew.
  17. I remember my first flight.


    I remember running an all-blaster old posi task force. We died like a 176 times in total..


    The game dies, but the friendships remain, and really, that's the best part.
  18. Someone did collect Korith's bounty.

    He DID get married, after all.

    Thank you.

    So long, and thanks for everything!
  20. Signed up.

    I can't tell you how much it meant to me to get those cards last year, as I transitioned home.
  21. My name is Jonathan MacKay.

    I.... well, it's hard to say what I am now. I've been a pastor, a guy working in customer service, an industrial painter, and..... well, I've always been an idealist. I hope to become a published author as well as a university professor, but.... well, life finds a way.

    You still haven't accepted my friend request, and I sent it last year!
