I'm late again....
Anyway, all I can say is do what you have to do. Besides it's been fun and at least it gave me something to do for a few years. And hell, I've made some new friends because of this, so I can't complain. _________________

Likewise (thanks for saving me some writing time there Edge.)
Anything causing great amounts of stress is better off avoided anyhow, so I'm surprised something like this didn't happen sooner. The world will continue to turn without a War system. I only ever really used this place as a normal discussion forum anyway, so that doesn't have to change.

*rocking back and forth*
But...but...but...the Murky Sea! It was right there! We were going to visit it next phase! The Krakens!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!!!!!!
Just kidding. I probably would have died anyway.
Just do whatever is best for your health. We don't hate you! _________________

I saw that, but I had a feeling Vex would somehow make it harder. The description of the Murky Sea in the Rumors section made it sound like the biggest baddest naval region on the board. _________________

Sorry to hear about the ending of the war game and the relapse in your illness. I just hope you got as much enjoyment (at times) in running the nation system as many of the members here did participating in it. |

I know! But it's totally different when the mods run it and then post it. It's like validation and stuffs. XD _________________ "Oranges can't fit into circles because rectangles are made of cheese." |

it's all good, and you must always put you first, not some internet schiznats.
it's been fun, coming back from the brink and coming close to being the lead country, thanks to my stellar team and countrymen.
get well, my friend; take care of you, worry not over this fluff. _________________ prinny...DOOD!

Thanks again for the kind words. I haven't had time yet to reply to all of the individual PMs I've received but I am slowly but surely getting around to them. Don't get depressed if I haven't answered them yet, I'm a sick man!
About the kraken stuff, my plan would have been to do something a lot more interesting than throw an NPC at you. The "base" NPC that iscalio posted a link to is just a placeholder anyhow, so it doesn't indicate what you would have faced. I was planning to introduce an entire cult of mariners surrounding the aqueous beast that can join forces with Nameless Lands or something, if done the right way. |

I would just like to say as a member that has been around for a long time that I truly understand. I just wish you the best and I want you to take care of yourself. I am sure I speak for us all when we say thank you for giving us a place to share our love for a wonderful game and thanks for giving us a small piece of yourself for almost a decade. We truly appreciate you. _________________ ~ Humbly walk the path of death

A toast to you, Vextor. It's been good workin' with you. Of course, most of my work went unknown and unappreciated but I didn't really care for recognition either. My guess is I won't be needed any longer which is a bit sad, but I can't help but say I'm glad you've decided to take care of yourself. It's been fun being an NPC controller! |

Nope, acquious also means "water-like." I was descibing the kraken as being an acquious beast, as in, like a large pile of pudding suspended in water. If you've ever held a squid or an octopus with your bare hands you'll know what I'm talking about. |

I would also add that I don't recommend holding a squid or octopus with your bare hands.
Aside from it feeling really creepy, they tend not to appreciate being manhandled. |

Vextor dude don't stress yourself out, you do what you need to do to stay healthy for you and whatever happens no one can or rather better not be upset with you for this! I read your entire post and pretty much everything clicked since yes personally I felt the system was too complex and had great difficulty in learning * still don't know half of anything* and something being redone that is safer for new players to get involved in and get into just like the veteran members who are all like pro at the game. But regardless you take care of yourself and I'm glad you made a decision for yourself so you get out of relapsing again. Ciao
