I'm kind of torn as I'm posting this. As much as I'm hating losing the community of the game, I have to confess I'm not been "here" as much for the game. Many would remember that I would change my forum avatar somewhat frequently, then in April, my forum Avatar stopped changing. I would think that most people know what the pink ribbon represents by now: Breast Cancer.
My mother was diagnosed at the end of March with stage 2 breast cancer (almost stage 3). She had a lumpectomy and they caught the cancer in one lymph node. This prompted the doctors to check other spots (false positive on it spreading to her liver), and start an extremely aggressive chemotherapy treatment. She is now 50% done her chemotherapy treatments, and during November she is due for a month-long schedule of radiation therapy. I would recommend everyone get screened on a regular basis for cancer. I wouldn't wish this process on anyone.
Needless to say that this has been playing havoc with my emotions. One of my emotional foundations has been the group of close friends that I've played with, the people from the Triumph Server, and the people in this game's community as a whole. While I might be losing the interaction in the game, I'm still going to be in touch with many of you through various means.
I'm going to take away many cherished memories of my time here, like talking with Mercedes Lackey during the Going Rogue Beta or FINALLY getting the Master of Statesman TF after a month-long series of attempts. Then there was the City Scoop. I still find it hard to believe I managed as much I did for the Scoop while going to College. The people that were a part of that project were truly dedicated to making the game more enjoyable for everyone.
I know I was extremely vocal at aspects of the game I disliked. In my defense, I would say I let my passion get carried away. I hope this helps explain some of my posts, though I'll admit a large part of my posting style is a persona more than an accurate picture of who I am.
Of all the money e'er I had,
I spent it in good company.
And all the harm e'er I've done,
Alas! it was to none but me.
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all.
Chorus:
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
"Good night and joy be to you all"
Oh, all the comrades e'er I had,
They're sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts e'er I had,
They'd wish me one more day to stay,
But since it falls unto my lot,
That I should rise and you should not,
I gently rise and softly call,
Good night and joy be with you all.
Chorus:
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
"Good night and joy be to you all"
If I had money enough to spend,
And leisure time to sit awhile,
There is a fair maid in this town,
That sorely has my heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips,
I own she has my heart in thrall,
Then fill to me the parting glass,
Good night and joy be with you all.
Sincerely,
Eric "Snow Globe" Sutton.

I'll leave with this parting song:
