Friday's the end...

I have hinted at this in the Spam boards, but I shall soon be leaving KoC for good. I have a problem with addiction. I've been very good about not getting addicted to drugs or alcohol, but it's other things that I become obsessed with. When those obsessions interfer with my daily life, however, I have to quit cold turkey or I just can't quit. Kings of Chaos, I have discovered, has become one of those addictions. I check my soldiers in the middle of the night. I check at work (hell, I'm the network administrator and should be blocking sites like KoC). I read the forums daily (sometimes hourly). And I've lost a lot of time when I could be doing something more productive (like working on the school website or learning about Linux).

So, it's with great sadness that I find myself telling you all this. I have really enjoyed playing KoC. I thank (and curse) Judi for getting me into this in the first place. And I've really enjoyed meeting (virtually) all of you lovely people. TEA is a great alliance - keep up the great work.

I'll be giving Judi all me gold - and then Drake if there's any left after she attacks the hell out of my poor little elves. And then deleting my account. So this Saturday you won't need to be clicking me again. *sniff*

This has been a difficult decision, but I know it's the right one for me. Thanks for being a great bunch of allies and I'll see you in the spam boards until this weekend! buh bye!

i had no idea... you were such a great member, we will all miss you from TEA. and Koc. in age2 i felt that addiction, but not that seriously.

i guess there isn't much i can do to convince you to stay with us.. but i will wish you good luck IRL. and i was hoping that you would become one of the members that sticked around for a while. if you want to, you can come visit us sometime.

I used to be addicted in age2... d**n I loved that age at the start.... now it's just dull and boring.... lol

Sad to see you go....
Good luck in RL.

best of luck trinalin. You've been a good solid member and you're a good person. Go find other addictions and stay away from the drugs.

Phew! We had intended to do this last night, but SOMEBODY used up all of her attack turns and didn't have enough to get all of my gold. So we decided to wait until Sunday when we could do it properly. We were going to my folks' cottage at Lake Loramie and there's no internet access there... Except that someone at this end of the lake has set up a wireless broadband network and left it unencrypted! So we've had access this weekend and decided at 5:05pm EST to do the handover.

Judi managed to steal about 61 million gold from me - and lost about 17 million gold from a few vultures who spotted her after the rankings were done. But she got seige upgraded once and defense twice and got a fair number of arrows. She might be able to finish her seige upgrade after the weekend. :-)

My final rank actually BEAT JUDI! Woohoo! My goal since I had to wait longer to get rid of the account was to pass Judi and I succeeded this afternoon. My final rank was 1329, though I was at 1327 an hour or so before then. And Judi was at 1337 (which really excited one script kiddie wannabe who PMed her to tell her). So I'm happy with my performance in the game. And I'm relieved to be able to get on with my life again. Except that Judi won't change her password and I know it. B**CH! ;-)

(Edited cuz it changed b**ch to "pregnant dog" heh!)

we will miss you
