Arc 22832: And Hell Hath No Fury (extreme)
Will you be the key to the Knives of Artemis' survival? or the instrument of their destruction?
Damn man you were a dev I liked. Good times on that CoP we ran on liberty. Best of luck.
You'll be missed. That's for sure. I hope things go well for ya wherever you're going.
If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.
does mod 5 have a posting account that is visible in the community digest? i dont think i have ever seen him post... maybe it would be a good idea with all the people leaving that we make sure that the dev\community digest is up to date. im prety sure its not.
The Ocho will be missed greatly!
I will miss TheOcho's professionalism and constant drive and desire to do a great job for you, our community. I will also miss Eric as an awesome person to be around, in spite of his tendency to try and make me swear, which I've happily failed to oblige!

In all seriousness though, we'll miss him terribly but respect his decisions and what lead up to them. Cheers to your future, Ocho -- it's definitely a bright one!
P.S. You can still have your better half send us delicious baked goods via postal mail.

Heya folks,
It is with a lot of sadness that I share with you the news that Im leaving Paragon Studios. Life sometimes has surprises for us, which was proven to me again just recently when an opportunity presented itself that would greatly benefit me and my family. These kinds of decisions are always tough to make, but I have come to accept the fact that it might just be time for me to shake things up by accepting a new challenge and in the process leave behind one of the most expensive places in the country to live. While Im okay with leaving Northern CA, its not so easy to leave all of you. The past two years at Paragon has been incredible for me. Not only have I been lucky to work with such a talented development team, but my first foray into Community Relations landed me smack dab in the middle of the warmest and friendliest community on the Internet. I cant express enough how much affection I have for you, and how much I will miss interacting with you every day. City of Heroes and its amazing community will always hold a special place in my heart, and while I wont be front and center anymore, you can bet that Ill still be online as a player wandering the Rogue Isles and looking forward to the exciting plans that I know Paragon has in store for you. My leaving presents an opportunity for you to get to know Beastyle a little better, also known as Mod 5. Beastyle has been around for a few months already and has been eager to get more involved with all of you. Now will be his chance to do so. It hasnt taken him long to realize how special this community is, so I know he will take good care of you! Again I will miss you and the rest of the Community Team more than I can possible convey. Thank you all so much for making the last two years the most rewarding professional and personal years of my life. Until we meet again, Eric theOcho Cleaver |
I'm going to miss you Mod08...
All the best in your future endeavours and here, take this for the way in case you get hungry. *hands over bushel of carrots*
PS - you're not getting your wallet back though. I pinched that fair and square!

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Triumph will never be the same without you! Good luck1
It's so sad to see you go. So many great memories...our duel and that CoP...you always made me so happy <3 Although you were playing hard to get, I felt your true feelings in the little time we spent together, much of which contained my flirtatious advances on you.
I will think of you often in your absence. Also, while typing "think," i realized that my "k" key is stuck. Which makes me all the more sadder.
On a final note, I will miss you, my dear friend. Feel free to pop back on to Liberty at any time; you are always welcome.
But once you lose your mod powers, you can't kill me anymore! ha-HA!

I'd comment on your being the best mod ever, but that bar is so low I don't want to damn you with faint praise.
Best of luck on the new endeavor!

ah well. its upsettingt o see anyone go, but you spelled out your reasons pretty clearly and it makes perfect sense. good luck with that opportunity. I personally haven't interacted much with you, given your job that may be for the best(i interacted a bit too much with cricket). but you had a sense of humor and for working at the most thankless position in gaming, you never let us break you, so it was good to have been in your vocational vicinity.
in relation to people leaving. Jay, i see you go for the door, im tackling your #@$ and dragging you back. i have seen your photos, im twice your size nobody else leaves, got it?
/em grief
Okay I'm over it. Good Luck to you, Eric.
I'm reminded of a Irish Toast that seems fitting the situation.
May you be in heaven a full half hour
before the devil knows your dead. May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live.
May your heart be light and happy,
May your smile be big and wide,
And may your pockets always have
a coin or two inside!
Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.
May you always have a clean shirt, a clear conscience, and enough coins in your pocket to buy a pint!
May the face of every good news and the back of every bad news be towards us.
May neighbours respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.
May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far.
May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
May those that love us, love us.
And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.
May misfortune follow you the rest of your life, and never catch up.
May you have food and raiment, a soft pillow for your head. May you be forty years in heaven before the devil knows you’re dead.
May your mornings bring joy
and your evenings bring peace...
May your troubles grow less
as your blessings increase!
May you get all your wishes but one,
so that you will always have something to strive for!
oh can I has your stuff?
O_O
*one tiny pepsiman hops into theOcho's shirt pocket*
*squeee?*
Good luck to you, good sir. I was indeed touched when you greeted me at the NorCal Meet and Greet by saying how glad you were that I wasn't in a hospital again, like in 2009 during Hero Con (damn kidney stones).
Take care.
I play all my toons like a blaster: I die a lot.

I agree on all the best wishes to you Ocho. Your humor and kind attitude was a great addition to our community, and your enthusiasm about the game was fantastic.
I understand the needs to do what is best for the family. May everything continue to work out for you.
