| | Where to start... Soo much has happened so fast. Well let's start with local news...
I've decided to leave the restaurant. .. Gave my 2 weeks, which I changed to 1 month in order to allow them to train someone to do what I do there. I know (to my friends who know), I should just leave them to fall apart, but, my staff I can't do that to, I'm there for them now, and they know that and besides from them begging me to pls stay, I've extended for them and none else.
For those of you who don't know, I'm moving to LA, to be VP of a production company that I started and wrote the business plan several years ago, with my best friend who has taken it to a level that he can no longer handle by himself and the few that he has met and trusts. We started the business back here in Tampa, and did very well, until the next step came and I was not willing to make the next step to move to LA. LOL those of you who have called my cell, yes that's the production company from the message. He had the balls and drive to take it to CA, where he said the next step has to be made. That was 2 years ago, and OMG, he has done well. His family and base, as well as mine (of all places we grew up together in church, my dad and his mom each knowing each other in high School) are and will always be in Tampa.
I've grown so tired of the restaurant business, and have found myself, as some of you know after about 10 years in the business , running one of the top and upcoming ones in the nation. The more I work the business, I realize, it's no the business, but the people, and the staff and the interaction that I love, and that's what I wrote for myself back in the original business plan. I will be the business manager, as well, in charge of all personnel. VP, 1/3 portion of the company, a real nice boost in salary from what I'm making now, all expenses paid by the company, LA is crazy expensive compared to Tampa, and of course, % in everything from here on. A deal I can't in my right mind turn down..
For all my friends, and enemies I have gotten to know, I will try and log and play when I can, but I really doubt that will be very often. Thank you all for the good times, the kills, the deaths, the scares, the adrenaline rushes, everything that made me to me what this damn game we all love called Lineage.
To Field's,thanks for being a good friend, when we were pledge mates, before we got on opposite teams, as well as when we had to fight and keep it impersonal and within game. Same goes to Mag, Mudd, and others.
AMP, you fookin fook, sorry for your loss, I know how it is to lose a friend, hope the best for u bry, thx for the new years resolution to not be such an a$$ as u said, your site has been more pleasant. I've tried to be the same, and lol, thx for the happy new year wish on DI after we laughed about you sneakin up and almost killin' me on the bridge, brought a much needed laugh at the time. We are entirely too much alike to ever really get along, even when we were back in KOD together, but you have been one of the people that I will always remember from Lineage. Was a good time fighting you on AMP (and fook you, I don't hit my own summons anymore), Juke in toi, and Enhance, which I really didn't see much cuzz of your move I guess. GL bro,
Thruster! LOL, my boy! Keep lvling bro, and keep being cool! K?
Sharps! You jackass.. What happened to the "Shut up and fight"? That's all we used to hear from sharps. At one time you were comin' to Tampa to party with me in Ybor and I gave you my info. I don't think you are the same one I used to have elf equipment talks in werldern with, but who cares, you never killed me in a fight, venzd me a few, but you or the old sharps are the reason I went SOL. Whatever you got up your ass to hit me when I was neautral, caused me to join sol and meet some of the best people I have ever met in the game. Thank you, some of them will be my friends for life... Ever come to Tampa and Ybor still? If I'm there visiting, I'll still meet ya and show ya all the good clubs.
Brick, brick, brick, wassup jackass? Long fookin' time we've know each other, thru good and bad, fights and laughs, lots of bickering thru whispers and such, anyway, take care beyotch! Talk to you soon, and FU, you beat me to 55 (without botting) well done. (gives you the finger, lol)
Rest of circle/superman, (BXR/Fotia, I'll still meet ya for a beer after a fight anytime, we need more ppl in game that are competitive but can put the game in perspective, just like sports, do your best, then have fun) (Ele, Alleah, sweethearts, Love ya!)
Other circle, superman, and fans, Sol doesn't talk sh1t for a reason, no need, ppl fight, ppl die, on both sides. I understand the feel or need to gloat, or razz the other team, Whoever wins/loses they know, that's enough they win or lose %. The game isn't a popularity contest, not sure why there has to be all the propiganda, maybe that's what makes it fun for you. So many hate circle, superman, and sol. It sucks, but that's the game. PPL hold grudges, ppl can't forget. How about, we are playing a dieing game, on the hardest server, where wars have gone on since the beginning of the game. Where have all the neutral pledges gone? We have all gotten so strong and high lvl, thru hard work (and yes even the fookin botters had to or did lvl before botting), and so far ahead of whoever might want to join the game, and then how will they ever get anywhere without the help lvling and learn teamwork without neutral newbie pledges? We are as much to blame as NC if not more, for a dieing game because of where we have evolved it to. Remember when DK was godly? I know when I started, I played 2 months before I even saw a DK, and when I did, he stopped, saw I was an elf, dropped me sgems, and a NB SC and said, GL, you will need this sooner or later if you stay with it. I thought he was a GM helping people out! Then found out he was a DK and a reg player. I have no clue who he was, but that little act of kindness kept me in the game. We used to look up to those people. Now if you're not 50, you're nothing, and what do you have to look forward to? Joining a fight pledge or being hit because someone is bored.
If we can't make if fun for the newbs, then all our time is wasted. How many years we been playing? My god, how many hours? If the war stops, what will be left? We are already bored as it is. Even with the new areas. If we don't make the game fun, if we are too big of assholes to the newbies, then kiss your time lvling goodbye! Game will stop. Time wasted.. Anyway, if you have read this far, thx, if I made typos, FU and get over it. If you don't like what I said.. same... GL all, I'll try and log if I can, fight the good fight, don't be asses cuzz we are all in this game together, and dammit, be nice to a newbie!
If u live in LA, lemme know, I'll come say HI!
-Gid vSOL!
