Ineffable Wingbolt Frozen Feet Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Me and Spiderweb Software go back a long way. I was around eight when I first tried Exile III, and was hooked. Jeff's games greatly and positively influenced my imagination and were largely responsible for sparking my interest in roleplaying games both on computers and on pen and paper. They were also pivotal in my journey to the internet. I got my first (and still active) e-mail address just so I could join these boards. Through these boards, I was introduced to great many things, from play-by-post roleplays to debates and logic, complex math and how to use AIM. However, I recently realized it's been ages since I played one of Spidweb's games, and when I did, the magic was no longer there. Unfortunately, it seem I've outgrown them, and as a result, these boards as well. I acknowledge I've never been a very active member of the community. I've long since lost track of who is who, and I guess many newer members have no idea who I am or was. But instead of fading from memory without notice, I though I'd announce my departure. For old times' sake, you know. If someone still remembers me and wants to stay in contact, feel free to try and catch me on AIM with moniker Tuulentekija, or on Facebook. But besides that, this is it for me. Thank you and good bye, Samuli Suominen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I wonder how many years I have left before I bore of video games... Probably not long. Soon after that, I'll give up on pen and paper rpgs. Hiking with a sword and bow? That's forever. So long, FF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Goodbye and good luck with whatever you're up to, FF. And remember, if you ever feel like popping back in, the sanity bucket's still by the door. —Alorael, whose greatest worry now is what Spiderweb will do to ensure its proper dose of Finnishness.

It is likely that, should I stop playing Jeff's games, no one will notice. You are all, therefore, stuck with me. As for the Finnish element, it's been leaking away for some time. Nevertheless, I could have wished for a little in your farewell speech, Frozen Feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Farewell, Frozen Feet. Sad that I didn't get to meet you, and we probably never will, but life's like that and that sort of thing. Nice farewell post. I want to write one like this if I ever leave the community, but I guess it'll be a long time before I tire of computer games.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I only crush poisonous spiders. And ticks, mosquitos, and other disease carriers.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The majority of people that speak English as a first language are, indeed, American. That figure erodes if you include bilinguals or set the parameters to speaking it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our minds are of course infected by American ideas and customs, more so know that Stephen Harper is king. Geography is unkind indeed. And just so I don't get banned for that, I'll add that all I'm saying is that it's hard for a smaller nation with a young history to avoid becoming much like a nearby large nation, especially with an open border for both communication and travel.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think the shared language also has a great deal to do with it. —Alorael, who thinks cultural osmosis is greatly facilitated when it's not always immediately apparent which side of the divide you're from.
