THE 3,576,716th OFFICIAL GTM "I AM LEAVING" THREAD (v.-9.1)

[Scorpion]

Don't people get it? Another member has gone. We need to be more understanding or we'll lose more and more. Take when Reier left, for example. Instead of mucking about with the thread title, we should be supportive.

He left to focus on school (not a bad idea for him in my opinion)
Unless your response involves fire, guns or cyanide we can't do anything about him "leaving".

[JoeBlo]

But I, for instance.... uhhhh *jitters*...... NVM.  Gotta go!

I honestly thought it was ACAMS.. guess you could get away with murder

have you ever read "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" ? if not do so and you will understand this situation more. 

[Incredirobotwars]

Flaming cyanide guns. There. Now we can do something about him leaving.

*rreads 'The boy who cried wolf*
...I don't get it.

[FOTEPX]

I don't care if he goes or not. It's his choice whether or not he wants to leave.

[Madiaba]

Incred...,
Yep.  I hope the 'jesting' is overt, and universal.
 
 
Joe,
My 'Nice-guy' role is still working....

That raises a good point.
He says he will be posting less, not actually leaving for good.
So that means this "leaving" thread is actually even more pointless because all that's going to happen is his post rate will fall, something wich people would notice eventually anyway and either bring it up or (more likely) not care.

the boy kept making up stories about a wolf attack and the time when there was a real wolf attack nobody took him seriously

same deal, we have seen these threads from many others including TX before that real or not we tend to not taken them too seriously anymore

 

[Incredirobotwars]

I must say, though: he picked a good time to do so, as everybody's ageist side is beginning to show.

Also, if people want to complain, then make a thread for it. This thread should be for people to say 'goodbye' if they truely want to.

That doesn't sound like aq good idea for me.
It will turn into a nest for spam and attention-seekers.

Plus people will probably make other threads like this anyway so people will actually care.

[Madiaba]

Joe is saying that it is too bad, cause it undermines the real 'leaving for legit reasons' people....
 
 
Incred..., That's an idea that is worth considering (though it too will probably be used for fallacious departures).  EDIT: Scorp got it right,... and quicker posted)

[Incredirobotwars]

(reference to whole Reier-leaving-thing) Well so did that. It's better for the attention-seekers to be in a nest, rather than doing so all over the place, especially in places where people will take a bad view on what they say. At least they could be ignored.

[Viper89]

Hehe not to high jack this thread but I'm officially leaving during the CC1 tourney, depends on how far I get in the tourney my match  is next so I will know shortly. It's been fun here but I'm seriously getting to old to be playing this game and I have way more important things to do than play RA2 .

Perhaps..I suppose it could be used as some kind of scapegoat to see who's going to be a pain in the arse.
Still my other point still stands.

If you have a thread for leavers, either those who are important to the community or people who have to leave for a legitamite reason will either be ignored, or make new leaving threads just for them.

Ofcourse if one preson makes a legitimate leaving thread for one of the reasons i posted before, anybody who suffers from dellusions of grandeur will decide to make their very own leaving thread.

[Incredirobotwars]

I suppose, but at least those people will have a place other than leaving threads to vent anger for leaving threads and those leaving.

I just think that leaving threads should be for final farewells, not POSTS LIKE THESE.

[JoeBlo]

Hehe not to high jack this thread but I'm officially leaving during the CC1 tourney,

DUUUDE can I please borrow your time machine... 

[Incredirobotwars]

Why? What would you do? I know what I'd do.

I am in agreement. TX isn't actually leaving, he is on temporary hiatus. Basically, life got in the way. =P

Usually it's the other way around.

[FOTEPX]

This chat has changed into a hodgepodge of assorted poppycock. Farewell.
