My selfish announcement that will disappoint many

[Tendou Souji]

Well, this certainly sucks much, but I'm glad that there was even a nation system in the first place all these years. Thanks much and take care, Vex.

[Jossef]

Thanks for everything Vextor. Seriously, you have selflessly provided a community and a game for hundreds of folks for years and no-one has the right to complain. Health is always priority and I'm glad, for your sake, that you've decided to end this when it has became detrimental to your health.

Hell, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have done something I thought i would never had done - meet up with people in real life from the INTERNETZ!!!11 Seriously though, I had the wonderful opportunity to adventure around Europe with Agahnim, Dew Dust and iscalio - whom I am glad to have had the pleasure to meet - and none of this would have happened if Suikox never existed.

Thanks again, and I hope that you get the better of your disease for many decades to come.

I'm not back for more than this post but as Phil texted me to let me know the news I couldn't stay away without saying goodbye.

I feel sad about the end of the nation system, but I feel happy to have been a part of such an impressive and intricate community. I know that I wasn't here for the past few months, and I am sorry if that compounded Vextor's problems which led to this announcement.

All that I know is Vextor has my support and I'll stand by his choices.

If anyone comes to the Isle of Man, give me a shout.

Good to see you around for the one post all the same.

I had a lot of fun here and at the end of this system, that's all I can say I ever really hoped to achieve from playing this. I enjoyed being around some of you weird and crazy folks and even some of the people I didn't like very much provided me with entertaining memories.

I'm glad I was a part.

Much thanks Vex.

It's sad to see the nation system go, it was something I really enjoyed, but I thought this would occur sometime soon. When I heard that Axiose was leaving, I thought "Man, how is Vextor going to handle all of this with everything else going on in his life? I sure as hell couldn't." Echoing Calvin's thoughts, if there were to be 'President" of the Suikoden community, I think of you as it as you have done more for the Suikoden community than anyone I can think of and you are known and respected in any Suikoden forum.

I don't think there is anything you could do to take that away in my eyes.

Hey Vex...this is the first time I actually called you Vex (besides your real name)

I support your decision if you have to cut something to make way for your recovery and rest.

Just take good care of yourself is what counts more than anything.

Hey Vextor, it's me. I'm sure you know we have had interactions in the past. Several ones, actually. All of them were hilarious. XD

We had a good run. Four years... I was not around when it started, but I did experience about fourteen phases, and looking back, so much has changed. Things had gotten more and more complicated, and I could understand how this has stressed you so much.

It's quite sad that the nation system is ending. Well, not really. I knew it was going to end at some point or another. I just did not know it was going to be sooner. Back then, I had felt that I would be sorely disappointed if it ever happened, but it turns out I am not. Especially with the reason laid out, I actually support ending it, if it means less stress on part of Vextor.


Don't feel bad or guilty about being selfish, Vextor. It's your health, and that is your utmost priority. I fully support your decision.

You have given so much to the Suikoden fan community. There was a lot I learned because of your websites, and I admire your dedication to spread knowledge about the details of the Suikoden games. I also would not have met my Grassland family if it was not for this site, and this site would not have been what it was if it was not for you, so it can be said that if it were not for you, I would not have been part of such an awesome company of the grassies.

With all these said, thank you, Vextor. I shall continually pray for your health. It would be the least I could do, after all that you have done for us.



So... can I join the group hug, or have we stopped doing that? :P


(P.S. lol @ fuji and that battle simulation between blueflame and John Layfield)

I'm very sad. I understand completely and think that this is your call and you're making the best decision ultimately. I wish I could advise you to just pass the reigns on to someone else but I know that's not possible. The game was every bit a creative outlet for you as it was a thing for us to participate in and I'm glad we've reciprocated successfully.

I'm going to smoke a cigarette in light of this news. I never thought I'd see the day come... before phase 20 anyways. Haha, well hopefully the community will survive. Maybe some of those former nation leaders want to restart Tabula Rasa?

[Failure_Urn]

Well this is sad. But it was fun while it lasted. But this does not mean the site will no longer be fun. To me the nation system ment my character's name might pop up in a battle for me to read and my nation could "do good" perhaps. But the other 99% of the time I just enjoyed being here. =)

Hey it was a good half a century or so to me. Though I am sad to it go I've not stuck around for the game, but for the people. I think that what you need to do now Vex is to sit on you collective brilliant mind and let us try to figure stuff out while you live your life. Trust me, if we've stuck around this long, we don't have anything better to do now. Except maybe for getting ready for college or looking after one's family *nod to Ax*

Maybe sometime somehow we'll be able to resurrect it to it's former glory.

All the sentimental bunk out of the way, I propose that everyone, NL, Mod, and member alike work on ideas about how the nations should be handled.

Thank you Vextor.

I decided to smoke a cigarette for the death of the war game. I ended up smoking 3.

At once.

Maybe this'll make some of ya'll laugh because I got a picture.



Thanks for running the War Game for as long as you did. It's been really great. Will this phase end now or slowly wrap up?

[Delsaber]

It's for the best. Health should always come first, no ifs ands or buts about it. Maybe now we can all relax and get back to the recreational side of things for a while, yes?

Besides, I'm sure I wasn't the only one who never really got the hang of things. Hell, I could barely figure out Nation States. :?

Looking forward to getting reacquainted with the non-Gaienites of the board, too.

I had a blast here, and I am grateful for everything Blue Moon and the others did for the forums. I completely agree with the decision. Health is much more important then maintaining a website. I'm pretty sure everyone else would have done the same if they were in your shoes Vextor.
