Fade to Black, a goodbye

[MrBlonde]

Effective immediately i will be stepping down as General and Ralouf has kindly agreed to take my place and lead Death to glory in War V. I will not be entirely leaving the forum but will likely just be a ghost who's presence flits around here and there. My heart just is no longer in the game and it is time for me to step aside (something i should have just done after War IV ended). So with that i'd just like to say thanks to this great community and i wish you all the best.

Special Thanks 
Kevkev - for being in general just a great guy to talk to and for being such a great asset to the community
Noizy - only have love for ya. Message me now and then as i really do want to keep up with you and how you're doing.
DK - you really were always such a pleasure to chat with and one of the nicest guys i've ever talked to online.
RR and Nils - for getting me my one award (TPvP) and being such great competitors. 
Naps - for always being so enthusiastic when greeting me and for being the great phoenix.
Shantu and Malduk - for all the time we spent chatting and working during War. My one regret is being too nice and not drafting Shantu in war again.
Jaymanfu - for being such a beast last War
Ralouf - i know death will be in great hands with you and just want to say thanks for being such a huge supporter of me throughout.
Tstar - always enjoyed our chats and you definitely expanded my knowledge in certain areas and i thank you for that.
Jippy - really glad i drafted you last war and i know whatever team gets you this war won't regret it
SteppingStone - for being my rock in War III
VRT - for doing art for me
Rastafla - since it's the day after April fools how could i not think of you

So many other people who i know i'm forgetting but i'd also like to say i greatly respect these people and their place in elements, xDude, Terroking, Higs, Willng, Majofa, 10men, Zeru, ToRB, Kuro, SG.

And finally... Malignat the Lazy. I really do want to thank you though for PMing me all the time and all our mini FG matches and general PvP games. My one regret is not having your lazy arse on one of my teams. Anyways cya everybody and i wish you all the best.

Very sad to see you leave.
You'll always be remembered as one of the best players here.

[ralouf]

You were an icon for me Blondey I'm very sad to see you leave
Thanks for trusting in me for this war, I won't disapoint for sure.
I'm looking forwards to see you again, Goodbye !

[jippy99]

You were one of my favorite people in the community.  I'm very sad to see you go.  Thanks for the kind words and for giving me a chance last war.

'Best wishes' just doesn't seem like enough when someone as great as both a player and a person leaves.  While I can't say that this really comes as a surprise, I admit I always held out hope that you would return to your more active days.  Don't ever doubt that you would be welcomed back by screaming fangirls (aw, who am I kidding, fanboys, too).  Best of luck wherever RL takes you, Blonde.

Sad to see you go... being a newer player, I hadn't seen you around as much nor spoken to you as much, but your presence will surely be missed.

Bye bye MrBlonde. For a minute, I really hoped it was an April's Fool.

[nilsieboy]

the first player i ever met in the EtG chatroom, a week before the start of war #1 where i was looking for a team i'd join (and i was to late).
you were a nice guy and i think you were the master of death for a short time, but from then you always helped me.
we played together in team pvp, i faced you in events and you was always there to help me with anything and you were my icon as a master with essence.

i will never forget you blondey, one of the best EtG players of this community is leaving

one of the best EtG players of this community is leaving

QFT.  If the community had more blondes it'd be a better place and we'd be a million members strong.  Not much left that hasn't been said.  Grats and best wishes, MrBlonde.

Well, I suppose its time for me to post ^^,

Farewell MrBlonde, I hope to be honored by your presence in chat every now and then!

[Shantu]

My one regret is being too nice and not drafting Shantu in war again.

..And my one regret is not going for Death again.

Farewell, Blonde. I wanted to see at least another 3 terms of mastership from you, but this was expected. I just hope you will return to the game (and the community) after some time; everyone does.

[OldTrees]

Thanks for your contributions. Good luck. Farewell.
