Resignation!

Postby EchoMan » Sun Jul 17, 2016 8:01 am

Hi everyone! Just a short message to let you all know that I am resigning from my positions as ProgD chair, GAB member, Wiki lurker and any others I might not be fully aware of. It's been a fun journey (mostly) for something like 12 years, with both ups and downs. This means I will also leave the game, I haven't had any characters for quite some time now.

The last couple of years my interest and spare time has dwindled, due to IRL issues. I made the desicion to resign earlier this year, but Jos forced me to stick around for a while longer (just kidding).

We still haven't appointed a new ProgD chair (afaik) so I might still be around for som transition work now and then, until someone new feels comfortable in their new role.

Thank you evereyone I have had the pleasure (or pain) to interact with over the years. Cantrians are a weird and unique bunch of people and I love you all (platonically).

Let the flaming commence!!! :)

Aren't exclamations for importante news? ;)

Sorry to hear that you've spent too much time on making game better, shame to see good people go.

Programming important and hope your new chair is comfy like sofa for bum to sit on.

Good luck Echoman in whatever it is that you pursue in life.

I am greatful for the times you mentored and helped me and many others through the ineptitude of learning the game.
Your perpetual crabbiness was a constant we could count on and led us to walking on eggshells around you. In spite of that, we were comforted by the fact that you would pursue and conquer any issue that we had and you were truly a person that we could count on when we had messed stuff up so bad that only you could rescue us. :/

I hope that RL brings you prosperity and lots of money...and that I can be at the huge going away party that you are throwing.

You were always one of the 'good ones' and will be missed.

lycka till!

Thank you for all of the effort you have put into the game. :)
Perhaps after a little time has passed, you'll come back to make "just one" character and get addicted again. Hope to see you again soon!

Thank you very much for the everything and hope to see you enjoying the game again. You've surely made your mark as a cooperative staff and with unique personality. I understand us cantrians can be a pain at times, wish you the best!

Sad to see you go, but it's certainly something I understand. :)

And you are a kind of man that, alone, can make the world of Cantr spin. So long and success.

Sure, I am a great reference! As long as some of that is not on my resume. :D

Seriously, I am really appreciative for all you taught and did for me.

I'm definitely sorry to see you go EchoMan, but also I understand. I've already felt your lack of presence on the IRC, and I will likely always feel like you're around the Cantr community in spirit.

I post a bit late, but many thanks for your great help, EchoMan, especially when you made the game working again in 2010 and when I was starting my work in ProgD.
