A Sad Day

Well fellas, its that time.

As you may have noticed, ive not been spending a lot of time in EVE recently. Ive noticed this too. Its for two reasons:

1)I dont have the time, what with other games i want to play and (shock horror) the Real World encroaching on me.

2)its beginning to feel a little like a job, rather than a game. I can't really rationalise paying someone for the privilege of working.

Anyway, the upshot of all this is that im quitting EVE to move on to pastures new. In a couple of weeks the account is going on to ebay. :cry:

Dont let this disuade you guys who are thinking of playing/just started. It is a cracking game. Its just that ive been playing for about 2 years and want something new.

On to the important stuff though: what this means to the Corp. Well, the most obvious is that someone will need to take over as head honcho. Be warned: you will need certain skills to do the job, namely corporation management (ive got level 2) and Ethnic relations (your going to need level 5 of this).

So who's interested? Let me know here and we shall have a vote.

Nooo! A sad day indeed, who now wil stand in the way of the Amarr invasion?

We'll all miss you of course, but I suppose once it stops being fun to play that's when you pack it in.

And for old times sake:

/emote bums

Oh dear =( The end of a Saga indeed.
Thankyou Joose for helping me into the world of EVE and showing me the ropes and generally beeing gentle with me after severe /bummings.

On the plus side.

I also find myself being worryingly addicted to it.

A very sad day indeed. It won't be the same with you and your...*cough*...Good luck for the future though.

I wouldn't get rid of the character though. You never know but you may have a change of heart.

Also, while I'm not in 5punkorp anymore, I nominate FabYak for CEO.

A sad day indeedy, promise you'll come on xFire and bum us from time to time

btw, im afraid you still owe me 55 million (well, 45 mil to me, 10 to the corp fund)! (and a strip miner) :)

[edit] and thanks for the nomination Hehulk, but I dont have any of teh skillz for Corp management (all I got is anchoring) although I would be willing to train it up if people want me

Echo! Echo! Echo!

and dont worry fab, I'll leave you Large Marge and some stuff. You wont be out of pocket.

Im going to be selling just my character, all of my stuff will be left for the god of the corp, to be allotted by whoever takes over as CEO (probably fab, by the looks of things.)

Farewell! Next time I see Joose in space I'll have to remember to refrain from just going /emote bums on reflex!
Pfft, now that could be awkward.
