I know that doing this before hasn't really worked, but this time I really do think I'm done.

I was hoping to have more time to put up a good showing in RtG while not taking it too seriously, and I at least did the second.

Hate to pile on to all the recent departures, but I've gotten to a point where the feuding style of writing no longer works for me. Maybe some day it will again. I have a few story ideas, but far from having the time/inclination to enact them.

Again, maybe a vanity project on my own schedule will eventually materialize. Who knows?

But truthfully, seriously, irrevocably, grammatically...I am retired from feuding.

I had a lot of fun with this place in all its incarnations. Lately it was a little more strained, but I think all that's been smoothed over. I like to think that I told some good stories with new feuders and new characters, and I thank you all for that.

So that's it.

Later.

I'm going to stop giving you quitters sympathy soon and just start complaining

Seriously though, this is a real shame. I felt like, for a while earlier this year, your stuff wasn't really up to your highest standard - not trying to start a debate or anything, just my personal feelings - and it wasn't until just this session when you returned that I really got into TI as a character again. I thought your feuding was the strongest I'd seen since our match and when I said in OOC before "Now we have a RtG on our hands..." it was meant as a reflection on your post, not just "omg TI is here and he wins lots".

I was looking forward to seeing where you were going with this revitalised style, but I guess I'll never know now.

So does that mean I win our rubber match by default?

I echo the sentiments of those above me. Don't be a stranger, feuding or not.
