Farewell to GhostRaptor

Ok I'm posting this a couple of days early because it's only fair to give as many as possible a chance to add to it before Ghost Raptor actually goes. His leaving day's officially Friday but if he's got any sense that'll be spent in the pub.

I just wanted to publicly say thanks for all the hard work he's put in during his time here, managing us grumpy lot when we want to say FTW and it doesn't meant "For the Win."

But also I think it's important to express how accessible he was. He worked really hard for us at Omega Sektor and it was a pleasure to meet him and the rest of the crew, and the help he gave me in setting up the interviews I did was invaluable. Without him I'd never have managed to get such great material.

We've also had some interesting debates with regard to that noblest of sports, with some friendly banter for good measure, him being an Aussie and me being a Pom, and this year is a special year in that regard and long may the banter continue. It will be a matter of large regret if by some miracle England wrest the urn from the ancient foe and he won't be here for me to publicly taunt him (all in good fun of course.)

So long Alex. Thanks again for all your help mate, you will be missed.

Hear, hear.

Best of luck, Alex.

Keep in touch.

It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

So long Alex. All the best for the future mate. Hope the end of this road leads you into a better one, hopefully with less chavs!

Good luck, Alex. May you always in your journeys find fair skies, welcoming ports, warm women and cold beer.

Indeed, well said. I had the chance to talk him, albeit briefly during the X4 event and he was a good man to talk to, always cheerful during what was a stressful event.

Top bloke and the forums will be less for his absence!

He's Australian. Cold beer ALWAYS comes first!

True...

Seriously though, hopefully we'll be able to get him in game a bit more often now so he'll still be around!

Cheerio, Mr GhostRaptor/Alex SAH!

Enjoy that first Monday morning, you've really deserved it. Enjoy the Ashes, you have nothing to fear. It's been great to see you at events, it's really sad to see you go .

Alex, I wish you the best of luck and happiness. In all you do and undertake.
You're up there in my Hall of Fame of favourite people I only barely know. (and that barely knowing is my fault)

So, from teh other Ghost on the forum,

Salute!

All the best Alex - thanks for all your work on the CoX side, and may your future be bright, sunny and rewarding!

Have fun, take care, and try to avoid land wars in Asia.

You made Memorabillia an even more fantastic time for me.

All the best Alex, hope you can still face logging in to play your Nerco/Dark from time to time. All the best

All the best in whatever you do Alex, I promise to continue behaving. :P

Farewell GhostRaptor.
I wish you the best in what you now will do, even though Avatea takes over (That is good). She is still... over there, with the rest of the Devs. You where here on this side of the pond. *sniff*
Thanks for the fun and the talks and hope you will not forget about us or shudder when you think of the chaos we make.
