View Full Version : I suppose this is sortof my leaving speech

As many of you knew, a RP that I was planning involved me not being with the GJO for a month or two. However, due to present circumstances, I've decided that I think this will become a permenant thing.
I suppose there's a few reasons for this. The feeling of being left out. The impression I get that people more and more see me as just a piece of the furniture, just something to use if I agree, but otherwise ignore. The shot at a new direction.
However, the main one I suppose is the GJO's direction it is taking. Nearly everything said, I seem to disagree with. That isn't good. All I do is stunt the growth of the group.
So, this is most likely it. Almost two years to the day that I asked at SWFans about what to do, and Yog told me. Day later, Darth Boricua took me as his Padawan. Three days on, I had a sig, thanks to ObiWan2. Since then, I've been here for it all. But no longer.
So, what now? Well, the RP wont get to the stage for a month or so, and then that'll be it. I'll still be round as an admin, and still help out here. But when the board goes to the new big group thingie of Jes'(Let's be honest, there isn't really a debate, it will be moving), I doubt I'll follow.
I would thank the people who helped, were supportive and whatnot, but Id have blisters on my fingers. To those I'm talking about, thanks.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

For now I'll say Take Care Fett, and good luck on your descision.
(and when I get my mind unscrambled I'll edit for a longer post <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> )

Oh. Now I see.
Well, allow me to agree with Reaperfett and say that board idea is an extremely bad one.
And I really, really, really hate to see you go Reaperfett, even if we do face off now and then. I'll appeal, please dont leave for good. Maybe you dont feel like you get listened to, but I for one certainly do.
Otherwise, I wouldnt argue back :-)

Well, I don't know what to say other then Good Ridd-I mean...Good Bye <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)"> . Although you may think so, you're more then a piece of furniture around here. I've already told you that, but you've made your mind. When Fett makes his mind, there's no chance of stopping him <img src=http://www.thegjo.com/forum/smileys/magtongue.gif ALT=":p"> .
To tell you the truth, you're one of the major reasons I created a Jedi character last January. If I never talked to you, I probably would've never gave GJO a second look. So all those who don't like me here, blame Fett ^_^.
It doesn't matter if you're going to leave GJO. It's cool that you'll still be roleplaying. I look forward to your future roleplays and I hope to be in some.
Good afternoon, good morning and good night. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

Heh, believe it or not when I first saw Nichos I was convinced it was Reaperfett in disguise. lol
Please, don't leave RPing. I respect your decision to leave the GJO, no one should stay somewhere they feel uncomfortable. But atleast stick around RPing. There are plenty of bad guy groups out there, and some good guy ones. Or heck, start your own group. Or go solo. Just don't stop RPing.
I don't know what the Roleplay you're planning to do entails, so I'm not certain where it'll leave your character. I hope you don't kill him. If you don't, talk to me... I have an idea, if your character wants to continue to fight the good fight. Talk to me about it in Leia's forum if you're interested.

Fett, you and I often disagree on issues and opinions on trivial stuff, but if anything, I absolutely respect your independce of mind, even if it does really frazzle my nerves occasionally.
Good luck Deagle-whore.

I would have to protest on that remark. Looking at the kind of controversy it has caused, and considering a few circumstances, I dont see how it currently could move. Why do you think I posted that topic in the first place? I asked for posters opinion, and so far, I have yet to see a single GJO member applauding the idea. Basically, I'd like to see changes done to the board in coherence with the users opinion, never opposed to it, and most preferably something we all can agree on.

I am not sure if I follow you here. Personally, I see you as one of the most respected members and certainly one of the most helpful of them all. I have difficulty thinking of anyone working harder than you have keeping this place together. The GJO is not the same without Fett. You will be badly missed, especially by me.

I'm sorry to see you go Fett. To be honest when I first came here you gave me the creeps! :lol But as I got to know you I learned that you are anything but creepy. I wish you wouldn't leave, but that is your choice. I hope to still talk to you at times on AIM. You're one of the few here who's kept my character on the good side.

*looks upon her title and frowns.*
if you go, what happens to me?:(
I hope you'll stay Fett. You are one of many whom make GJO enjoyable and fun.
I'm not sure I'd like the move much either, but I can understand why it would be done. I've never really got the chance to really rp with you Fettm but I think you're an excellent rper. I'd really miss you if you left, besides, I need somewhere to sit around here;) 9 you are much more than you say you are)
You've done a lot for this place, and GJO would not be the same without you, you're just as important as anyone else here, in fact, you are.
I respect you and I really don't want to see you go, so when I say this place wouldn't be the same without you, I really do mean that. Good luck with what you finally decide to do, I'll support you in it, just don't take my seat away, please:(
*staples Fett to the floor so he can't leave.*:(
I will miss you a lot, Fett.:( You are of great influence to me here and I look up to you. I know my title says you're number one fan, but you're one of my favorite people here, and I really don't want you to go.:( So please stay.

Fett...please do think about this or else take some time off. I really would hate to lose you, Bud! I've always enjoyed RPing and chatting with you...yes and giving you a hard time too ;) Please, if you want to talk about this or anything, please e-mail me. I hope this is just one of those slumps I know I've been in every so often where there's just simply a break needed. I'd hate to see you go, old friend!

He's not quitting. At first, he thought he would like to take time to see all the beautiful sites. So after he went to England's west coast and saw the US with a telescope, he came back.
