Retirement from active gameplay

Looks at the Game Moderator badge on his nation and screams "GET IT OFF SOMEONE HELP AHHHHH SHIT"

Well folks it has been a fun run. Together we watched me develop from a noobish young defender working with Mahaj to the ebil mastermind I am today. I really can't thank all of you enough, I started out in the GA forum but gameplay was such a fun, dynamic, and accessible part of the game thanks to the individuals who made it what it is. COE, Jakker, and Tramiar have my eternal gratitude for getting me involved with The Black Hawks where I spent most of my time raiding.

I don't want to list names of all of the people who I want to thank because I know that I won't remember everyone and I don't want to offend you lot. Suffice to say that if you're reading this post and you feel as though you knew me and were friends with me, I felt the same. You guys and gals were brilliant for all the years I've been involved in R/D, keep up the amazing work. That goes for raiders, defenders, imperialists and independents, you all are impressive in your own ways.

Let me impart the following bits of wisdom on you all. The secret to having fun in nationstates is to follow these simple steps:

Never take yourself too seriously,
Make friends and keep them,
Never EVER wear pants while playing.

It's that simple folks.

Thanks for everything guys and gals. Feel free to find me on irc or drop me a line if you ever want to just chat.

Aww, no.

One day I'll invent a machine that can rip forum titles off of members that say they don't want them, and I'll call it the Mallonator in your memory.

To you, unwilling Game Moderator. May "Liberate Haven" live on forever.

You've been a force to be reckoned with, and you'll be missed. Glad we'll still have you around as a mod though and good luck with RL!

Feel free to semi retire in TSP, we welcome washed up raiders

Good luck your further endeavours Mall.

At least we all know that there are one Game Mod more who surely knows how the game is played, by experience.

You are first Game Mod from "pure" gameplayer Raider path. And One of the greatest ever. You cannot be raider anymore like you did, but always be proud of your deeds and your past.

Whole raiderdom will salute you Mall! :clap:

[whisper]If you ever see there are something seriously wrong within Raiderdom, don't hesitate say it, even you cannot anymore represent raiders in your statements, in way you used to be. We will listen.[/whisper]

Mall is anything but pure

he was a defender before being enlightened of the fun of raiding. But I guess if anything he is pure evil

yes yes Jakker. You remember those dozens page long cries in Moderation threads (about mythical but already existing 'Opt out') and Security Council (because many people didn't recognized that mods are players and nations in the game too) and etc. etc. when Mall became forum Mod. :lol:

GP and R/D 'Purity' is relative measurement, but what comes to raiders and gameplayers generally, Mall is surely one of purest moderator ever in that sense, how defender he might been in his past (which frankly speaking doesn't make him worse as a Game Mod, not even when looking through hard core purist raider updater's googles). Does anyone participated ever Mall's RPs?

Maybe we all have someday situation where nobody can accuse moderation being biased to either direction on R/D axis... and Game Mods who doesn't fall prone to acts against the game physics (IMO basic requirement for everyone to be eligible for promotion to Game mod). Mall surely fulfill that reasonable basic requirement. :evil:

*Happy Cora metagaming*

All hail. A sad day for GP. Good luck with everything.

Good luck, Mall. I never really talked to you, but I hear you are a cool person. Give them defender mods hell!

All I can say is...

Two things, does this mean we can't hang out anymore? ;v;

And I'm now seriously disappointed that my dream raiding party of booze, raiding, and hookers can no longer be accomplished. It'll just be Koth and myself raiding while Mall drinks booze and DEATs bad nations.
