Dear Cuppa,
I know I have never spoken to you personally, either by PM, on the forums, or in person at some convention, but I wanted to take the time to post a message to you. It is sad to see you leaving here, and moving on. I have enjoyed and learned from many of your posts over the past few years, and that calm support you have provided will be sorely missed. I am sure that Cricket will provide us some measure of the same thing, but it will be different not seeing your flashing avatar next to a new post. I have not posted on here much due to my fear of not knowing enough info about the details of the game to make a post that mattered, and now I found a drawback to this fear of mine... not getting to know you at all, or any other red name. I hope this doesn't seem like sucking up to anyone, but the moderators of these forums have such a difficult task in trying to break the adage of "you can please all the people some of the time, some of them all of the time, but never all of them all the time". You seemed to especially buck this saying, by always trying to find a middle ground, not making false promises to shut people up, and being up front with the issues as they arose. That will be surely missed. Someone wrote about 20 pages ago that Cricket has some big shoes to fill, and I think your guidance has solidly helped her to try to achieve the same thing... make us happy, but don't pull a fast one doing it. Thank you for being here, good luck in your future endeavors, (i honestly had never heard of the game you are going to until your post... sorry!) and please stop in once in a while and say hi to us back here!!

Many thanks to all the wonderful people who helped me finally reach 50 on a second toon. There are so many names, i feel i might forget one if I try to name them all... Everyone I talk to on Vent, everyone in my SG, all the amazing people on my Global list...you are all part of my life because you are great people. I could never have done any of this without help, and everyone has stepped up to the plate to help me. That means a lot to me, and will not be forgotten. I stand ready to help out in any way I can, to return the help you all provided to me, either back to you, or by helping some other lowbie asking for help. (or getting random inf donations from my 50's) Thanks for putting up with me while i left teams to go to fire calls, i know it had to be annoying many times- "Hey guys, wanna team?? OHDAMMIT... gotta go fire call... sorry!"

And btw, Eventually i will figure out this avatar thing, and will eventually post more times... Hope my posts help, instead of annoy...

See you all online!

So, I have been reading these boards for some time, and never felt anything I said would matter too much, since I don't have stuff memorized that is important or anything like that. However, this is something i feel that my opinion DOES count, and I won't look silly throwing my two cents into. I think the BRB idea is simple, silly, and downright perfect for the game. I know i would love to have something in the game tha won't negatively affect me if I juts want to log on to "play some ball". Some times I log on just to see what is going on around in Paragon and the Isles. And I'm not some crazy noob, I have been playing for quite some time now, and have my own 50. But sometimes doing something that is simple like this is a great stress breaker, or helps relax you IRL, sorta like coloring with crayons. Maybe I am thinking it through too much, but i think it would be very welcomed, as the past 30 pages (with the exception of Jagged - nothing personal-) can attest too. So let's see hope this DOES get in the game, just for fun. No other reason (as of now- I do think the Gamester idea is clever) besides ahving a relaxing day "off" from being Super.
