Saying goodbye the second time for the first time
« on: December 23, 2012, 09:28:00 am »

I resolved to play out the ds.com matches as far as they led me, but now I'm done with that.

The first time I needed to do this, I didn't say goodbye and just deleted my account so that I wouldn't be tempted to keep checking for replies to my goodbye.  I'll check over the holidays for replies in case there is something more that needs to be said or that I want to say.  But then I'll slip away quietly.

So this time I say goodbye.  Goodbye all!  For the second time for the first time.

I haven't had many bright ideas for Dominion, but one that I want to catch on is this: you YouTuber commentators of Dominion -- PLAY AGAINST EACH OTHER.  There is a whole niche of commentary and strategy that isn't being filled; namely, hearing decent players comment on the same game from opposing sides.  Don't be shy, people.  Who cares if the other guy beats you!  Maybe you'll beat the other guy!  Either way, do it for science!

Will I be back?  Maybe.  But I think I really want to rebalance my gaming life by getting back into my pre-Dominion gamer's delights: the Card Driven Wargames like Twilight Struggle, Hannibal, and so many others.  I enjoyed those immensely without being addicted.

I mean, there is always Guilds.  And I still haven't even resolved Dark Ages in my Dominion world yet.  So the best answer I can give as to whether I'll be back is "we'll see."

=====================================

In the meantime, you all are just going to have to get by without me.  In lieu of flowers, send +1s to posts where I would have +1'd, even if you wouldn't normally have done so.  ;D ;D ;D

I'm really going to miss you, but I completely understand that sometimes the only changes that will work are the drastic ones. I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks for saying that  :)

But it isn't true!  There are many others that are funnier.  And don't worry, others will come, too.  ;D

Ah man I dislike when people leave, though I get that there are other important things in life. Glad you're not deleting your account!

I have been forced to accept that lackluster play is a town tell for you.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope I still see you around and can play some games on isotropic against you.
And yeah, let's play against each other, YouTubers.

Trust me...sometime when all the people that left for a while (like me) are stuck at the library for any number of hours (again like me) hopefully we'll see some posts.
i hope. I seriously like reading your posts when i get on every once and a while.
