Hanging up the cape.
that is well written, actually would be pretty good to send that off to news sites (maybe slightly different)
the last line especially is what got to me, about starting as city of strangers and turning it into a city of friends

Batman has Robin. Sarah has Monkeybutt. Forever friends, and for that Paragon I thank you.
I'll post an alt list later, but for now, this is the best I can do.
Feels like were all in a fight we cant win, doesnt it? Unknown people are making decisions affecting our lives. Certainty is something we are all seeking but we wont know if we'll have it. Knowing that the end is near and were seemingly unable to change it is what hurts. You alone can decide how you choose to remember your time here. Others can only decide when it ends, but not what the game meant for us. Understanding the true meaning of our time together is how Ive decided to face the end. Nobody can change how we feel about the people weve met playing this game. Constant reminders are in our everyday lives of those friends weve made along the way. Some came into our lives and left too soon, some stayed way too long. Only by remembering all of them will the memories truly stay with us forever. Forgetting the bad only jades the good, forgetting the good only reinforces the bad. Together we entered a city of strangers, we made it a city of friends, and we leave it a City of Heroes. |
Thanks, NC Soft, for closing my favorite game ever without warning and with plenty of life still left in it, and thus relieving me of the burden of EVER wanting to buy, try or even hear about another game from your company. Will my decision make a dent, or persuade them in anyway, shape or form? Nope, obviously not. Don't care. NC Soft is dead to me. ~ PsyFox
Sarah, you taught me a lot about patience and leadership. Thanks for always listening and always talking to me when I needed it.
Thanks for being a friend.
Very well written, and a bit on the 'pulling my heartstrings' side Great job

Thank you Sarah, especially for the last line. It should be on a bumper sticker. Or at least a sig.
Edit: There, now it's a sig.
Together we entered a city of strangers, we made it a city of friends, and we leave it a City of Heroes. - Sweet_Sarah
