Well I have been thinking about this alot durning the crap I have been going though getting a computer up and running at home.

SEIV , SEV...

Computers in general.

I think I am sick of it. Not sick like I am walking away. As I enjoy everyone here and I do look forward to meeting new people here.

But I have been thinking. And well I am getting ummm.... used to playing seiv. It is the greatest game I have ever played. I have invested over 1500 hours at least playing this game. Which is a huge chunk of time in ones life to invest in a game.

Anyways...

I was thinking that with SEV coming up soon, good weather and some up coming commitments. I need to scale back on the land of SEIV playing.

I love the game. And I love what we have set up for the SEV universe.

We have RP communities such as Legacies, PBC, Ladder. We have fantastic web sites dedicated to promoting seiv mods, shipsets, graphics and stories. An old lurking community who are waiting for SEV and a younger generation of players just getting their teeth wet on this great game and fantastic community.

I have seen people come and go here. And then the ones who just carry on and have become my friends.

Well what does this all mean?

Easy.

Thank you very much for letting me get to know people all around the world. Dicuss situations that are touching and disturbing and be given the chance to say what I think.

Thank you.

Will I be leaving. No

I will finish the sweet mod.

The TGM mod. Well that sits on the shelf most likely never to be finished.

Web site. Well that will be updated in July again when i have some free time.

Games. I am cutting back. And will only join games on personal invite where it will involve rp or interesting setups.

Running games. I will always run games. As they take little time and effort. But I think that I will cut it back to starting 1 game every 2 months.

Posting. I have slowed down lately... So maybe 4000 Posts by sept.

Thats all

Simon.

Yeah, a guy's gotta do what a guy's...well, you know the saying.

Sometimes I look back at the time I spent on the best game I ever played and think I should be doing something else. Another kind of entertainment or something one might consider a bit more productive. I haven't gotten where you are but one day I may be there. For now, it's a free form of entertainment. And a great one.

I'll second your remark on "meeting the world". And 99% of the time, people are nice to one another even in the differing opinions of the ever-appearing OT Posts.

It's my favorite forum and my favorite game.

So hang around. Pop in on some threads. And make room for a game from time-to-time.

And if you have anything interesting for "the guys" here, let us know, too.

I hope you enjoy your self-given rest from computers, and also hope that you'll come back, feeling better than never before.

Happy trails, my friend.

Edit: Forgot to say this; We'll all miss your crazy antics

I guess I should not be surprised, since you have cut down on internet time tremendously for the Last year or so...

[Will]

Well I can understand that... three straight years, it should be time for a bit of a break, eh?

Good luck with all your Real World stuff. And enjoy it! as you said, the weather is getting nicer, and it is (for those of us in the northern hemisphere) summertime. Trade the glow created by electrons bombarding a phosphor coating for the glow created by a ball of exploding hydrogen.

And I would say "Welcome to semi-lurker-dom!", but 200 Posts in about three and a half months is a bit ambitious for that, methinks... *points to post count slowly approaching 600*

You will be missed Tesco.

I understand everything you have typed. See you when you come by to visit.
