Hello Hello. I don't know why you say goodbye..

...I say hello.

Beatles make everything better. Almost.

I made the mistake of letting my membership lapse this summer. Was spending the months of May through September in traveling and knew I would not get much time to play. Silly me, first time in seven years I had turned off CoH and it almost bit me in the tuchass. Fortunately I was able to jump on the 'Going Rogue' loop hole before they closed it. Abrahms was unable to get his hands on a copy before they shut that avenue down. He sends his regards to anyone who recalls us.

Halo Jones, Kara (Later renamed Liberty Force), Psychic, Witchcraft, Gunpowder Angel and my two characters that actually got into the CoH Comic books, Scorpio Rose &, Zot.

You all probably don't remember me much. I avoided pick up groups. In fact back in the early months I was tagged as the 'Biggest 'rhymes with witch' on Liberty" by someone who did not use the 'rhymes with' phrase. If I was famous for anything, it was for being harsh to people who randomly spammed out group invites. I like to think my years of sending a complaint to NCSoft every time I received a random invite with the suggestion of being able to be invisible to strangers but visible to your friends is why they changed to code on things. But perhaps that is vanity.

On the Gripping Hand, I hope some out there might remember that I was always there when it came to hunting the Giant Monsters when they spawned. Heroics might have been one of the smallest SGs on the game, but if any of us were online when the call came for someone to come drag Lusca off the docks, we all came to help. Especially if anyone needed help in getting the badge. And I still have 50s with the 'Crey Protector' mission for the pistol.

Anyways; American Valor. Steele Magnolia. Tormax. Budo, GEL, Pickles, so many others out there that were good people. People who were willing to take a prickly player along for tackling Arch Villains for the badges. People who had the patience to organize Mother Ship Raids and ride herd on Hamidon Assaults.

There are a lot of things I am going to miss about this game. Will probably post something about it in a more open access forum. But Liberty was my first home in City of Heroes. I am going to miss you guys probably as much or more than I am going to miss this game.

I remember you both, as solid people to team with in fact. As one person with sharp edges to another, you never bothered me, I have plenty of respect for you.

Wish you luck and happiness in your future endeavors.

And, as it's rather appropriate... the ending to Dr Strangelove...

Even against certain death, it matters not how or if we fight, only that we do.

Most amusing complement I've ever been paid on an outfit, from @Ukase regarding my Blue Eyed She-Devil Anson Maddocs "Fallen Angel" homage:
"She gives my ex-wife a run for the money."
