I'm Free!

Well, it's official, as of today I'm again (nearly) a nobody in Cantr. I'll still be working on your animals until I can get that all done, and then semi-retire from that also. I just wanted to say that it's been mostly a pleasure serving all of you over the years. I'm happy to have done my part to help Cantr succeed, and now I pass the responsibility on to others. So, quit PMing me with your problems :p

I admit, it will feel very strange losing my Cantr-related near-omniscience (I was never omnipotent - that's reserved for EchoMan and Jos), but I guess I need to re-acclimate and get used to it.

Have fun, everyone, and don't drive the rest of the staff nuts while they're trying to cope without me
For those that don't get humor, this is all tongue-and-cheek.

what is semi about this retirement?
semi-retiring makes me think it's like this long-term sabbatical

LOL I don't think you get a vote BC
Congrats Doug and thank you for all the help through the time I've known you and you've been on staff. For all you've done for me personally and for Cantr staff and the game as well. You will surely be missed

I'm the only person with access to the animal tool, so for me to say "no, go away" if there was a problem in the future would be unfair.

I guess I should say congrats because you deserve a rest... gñe, alright, I'll do say it; but red suited your avatar better, in my opinion. Enjoy the hammock and we, annoying players, will see to get you a daiquiri or some whatever put in a coconut with paper sunshades

I am sad for this. I selfishly didn't want to you left us, but yes, I admit you deserve a big and good rest.
Thank you so much for your work, your patience, for teach many of us, your trust, for your time and your dedication to this fabolous game. I will miss you much, I think you know.
So... Congratulations

, I wish you the best of luck and I hope you enjoy the game and your free time.
(And..., you can be sure that I will keep my promise. I will beg you on knees that you come back if the Apocalypse arrives
)
