Retirement/2 YR anniversary [thehockeykids2]

Well guys I recently got awarded my trophy for two years on the website. Thought I would make my retirement official and say a few words on my anniversary. Below is a table of contents so you can read what you wish. If anyone wishes to contact me, shoot me a forum mail.

FIRST SECTION - Anniversary paragraph
SECOND SECTION - Retirement paragraph
THIRD SECTION - Tribute to close friends

It's been a great ride. From being a builder hiding in the wild to a president with several towns, it's been a h*ll of a journey. I've met many friends and I still speak to many of these people each day. I've enjoyed struggling to stay on top of the economy and its changes. I've enjoyed building my towns and watch some people that I've known as a builder turn into legends. A user I played hunger games with called me a "ECC legend". I don't consider myself a legend, but it meant to me that I'm a well-known user who has a good reputation and that's all that matters to me. Time well wasted.

With all that being said, I've grown in the past two years. My interests have changed and I've lost most of my interest to ECC. I plan to still go on once a week or so to chat with friends, but I will no longer play. My possessions/money will be given to close friends, so don't ask. I ask that if you spot me online, take a moment and chat with me. I don't bite. So, I suppose this is a goodbye to most of you, and a "talk to ya later" to my friends.

I would like to take a moment here to list some of my closest friends over the years here, and what they've done. If I missed anyone, I mean to offense, I love all of you, but I've met a lot of people over the years and my memory has become foggy.

@Xx5mike5xX You are by far the person who has helped me the most and one of my closest friends. I cannot express in the words my gratitude and how powerful I feel our friendship is. I trust that you will look after Mineyork and treat it well. Your paragraph is short because I simply can't write down everything you've done to help me and my favourite moments with you. I hope you understand. We need to meet up one last time so I can give you my possessions. Cya then.

@OhMrsKittyKat Hey kitty. I'm proud to say that I knew you as a builder and helped you. I'm proud that you've become one of the richest players on the server and one of the best pvpers. I still remember your huge *ss farm lol. Your friendship has meant a lot to me, and I'm really going to miss playing with you. Maybe we can start another HCF faction thingy or play some SG together sometime. Last thing I want to say is you're a good person. I know that not everyone likes you, but no matter what, push through them and carry on. You've always had my support and you still have it in spirit. I'm not afraid to say that I'm good friends with you.

@KMaxwell One of my only regrets lies with you. The melon sword. I still feel guilty to the day on losing it. I've always wanted to get another one and surprise you, but dang - they're expensive. I hope that you'll forgive me. even though I can't forgive myself for it. I remember when I first hired you to mine out that wheat farm, and all the other various jobs. You've always been a close friend to me and have helped me through some hard times. I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavours, and want to remind you about the superman bunnies

@SparklyPotato2 I haven't known you for nearly as long as everyone else on this list, but I feel our friendship is just as strong. You are a great builder, and have always brought a smile to my face with your positive attitude, great building and your excessive use of happy faces I hope that you go far on ECC and may your balance stay high. My final wish for you is that you force mike to let you help build mineyork if he decides to build stuff.

@Thecreator767 I know that you may not consider our friendship than more than just odd conversations, but I've always thought more of it. You've been a good friend, builder, horse, town-nut and emerald farm maker. I hope we can play on POTATO together more.

@monkeyBUTT244 Much like creator, you're an odd character who's always managed to bring a smile to my face. I remember playing that adventure map with you, I really enjoyed that. I hope you know that I'll always be your friend and that I'm always up to play another adventure map, just shoot me a mail. This is the second (air quotes) final (air quotes) goodbye I've had to say to you llama, but I hope its not the last.

@_jamescraft You'll probably never read this because I know you've long-quit ECC, but I need to say this. I would have quit ECC within minutes if you hadn't taken me in. You taught me how to play. let me live in your house and use your stuff for nothing in return. I will be forever in your debt, without you, I wouldn't have had 2 fun years on this server. If you ever do decide to play again, shoot me a /mail.

 

@LordCwispy I don't consider it a good-bye thread

 

Yea, I can tell you're worried. You shouldn't be though, I obviously name ALL my threads [retirement].
