Title: Hiatus
Post by: Caarrie on October 30, 2008, 02:15:21 am
I have been a part of this community for a long time, some people even remember that i had a char before i got gm and what her name was. But many of you know that I work very hard for this game, I think I even work a bit too hard at times. Well time has come that I am officially taking a break. I will not post on the forum expect for maybe in the testing board for the time being. I will officially stop helping people on irc, I will also officially stop helping any engine prospect with their tasks as i have in the past. I need a break from the game, i might still be around but dont ask me for help unless i offer it. I have been dealing with a lot in real life and the time has come that i need to learn how to relax and do what i need to for me and no one else, I dont know when i will be back fully but i will be sure to remember each and everyone of you that have been there for me in the good and the bad.

Take care Caarrie. I think your break is well deserved. Hope to see you around from time to time and maybe have you back sometime  in future in your testing duties which you filled with as much dedication I rarely have seen elsewhere. My respect and best wishes  :)

But... but... a break? Who authorized that? Well, if you must. But... um... would you... maybe... consider trying to keep up the mods... maybe?

Seriously, you will be missed. Hope you enjoy your time off. You deserve a break.

we will see. we will see.

I am also happy to see that already a few people have noticed all the work  that i have done and that i will be missed, that is one thing i will keep in mind when the day comes that i decide to return to active status. This decision was not easy for me to make, I have considered leaving the game myself a few times, but I just could not bring myself to do it, so for now i am taking a break maybe that will help make things better in the end.

Oh my :( Two of the most likeable persons gone in such a short time. How should I cope with that? I am sad to hear that, Caarrie but nevertheless wish you all the best you can get. Hope to hear from you now and then.

Thanks for all the kind wishes, I dont plan on leaving the game fully at this time, i will still lurk around on irc and try to keep in touch with my friends, just my work on the tracker, forum and helping people build the game as well as "tech support" will be on hold till i find that i want to come back, i hope this will just be a few months.

Now who will tell me the number of any random bug that even I cannot find in the bug tracker?

With all the work you did on the bug tracker (2065 comments there), comments in nearly every thread where someone has a problem getting into game, work on the gui, help many build the game, and help prospects and others bugs to fix, you deserve a break. I hope you really do find some rest, and manage to spend some time not thinking about PS as well.

It will be strangely quiet with you not in all places all the time.
