The Goodbye Thread

[Vincent]

In my head canon the big C has passed his Threshold Seeking and keeps watch over Sacramento.
It's been both a pleasure and an honor. Hopefully we'll talk on Discord, the very least until we cross paths ingame again.
Until then, see you space cowboy.

And now it looks like my turn.

Oh dear.

I wont beat around the bush - there have been some life changes in the background that have reached a tipping point where I can't really commit the necessary time to playing and doing it justice. After nearly 12 years of gaming, I'm having to hang up my pen (well, okay, my keyboard). Consistently writing for an online forum can be quite a feat and it still amazes me at there are so many people able to do just that and continue playing this game, here in this little online community.

Somewhere, somehow, the sites original creators must be smiling. Edge of Darkness has stood the test of time.

Shout out to

West who ran the site for so long and was the force behind so many fantastic characters, great stories, and much mentoring with the ST role. Cannot thank you enough.
To Orianna and Youngblood who took over and kept the fire burning
Saber Sloth my Changeling ST and along with Cayce my fellow conspirators!

To Chrisie who first gave me a shot as an ST (in the Vampire Venue)

And to a whole lot of other people with whom I have interacted down the years

I wont be gone completely, but I'm going to just be a lurker from here on in.

Good luck you guys, it has been some of the best fun in my life

I am really sad to see you go. We have not played together for long, but I have only fond memories from Campanella. You will be missed.

We have only been in handful of scenes together and each and everyone was amazing, thank you! Everywhere anyone looks on the site the massive and wonderful impact of your legacy, hard work and characters is present. Thank you for it all.

Wishing you the absolute best. And since you will still be lurking, enjoy the stories!

I wish you wondrous, good fortune in IRL to you Yum Yum Crow. You have been a blast to play with, and all your hard work has done wonders for making this site amazing.

Glad you will keep watching over us. We will try to be entertaining, maybe work in a car chase thread. With ramps! And a truckload of chickens.

I'm sorry to hear you're going, YYC. You were the Spring Monarch when I started here, and you made my introduction to this site very welcoming.

I wish you all the best!

While I sincerely apologise for my outburst in the character sheet thread, I consider my treatment on this site these months to have been deplorable, with the only support I have gotten from LadySin/Skye. With my character dead in all but name, and me having gone through grueling psychological and physical torture this past month coming to terms with my character`s demise, I will be leaving this site, effective immediately. I simply will not deal with the strain anymore, which has caused me to break. I am deeply saddened it has come to this, but I cannot deny my feelings.

Goodbye Xisdor. I would be sad to see you go. Loss of a beloved character is a sad occurrence but it happens to all of us. I apologize if you feel that I have not offered you support when you needed it, or if you feel my character (or me as player) have treated your character (or you) with disrespect. You will be missed, Philip was a very active character.

[Vincent]

You will be missed. As for my 2 cents, losing a character is part of the game.
As for the strain caused by the prolonged scene - if I can share my thoughts - I don't feel like it was a mistreatment, when an action scene/death is prolonged, it's usually because the ST is giving the remaining players an opportunity to act and save the dying character.
