GCW
« on: September 04, 2009, 12:04:43 pm »
Much as others before me, the time has come to say goodbye. Unlike some, I don't leave because I'm tired of SC, or the community. I leave because I have no choice. Some of you may recall that I recently moved to another country. I've now spent three weeks in a hotel, and tomorrow I move into my company provided flat. Unfortunately, the company does not provide a internet connection at said flat, unlike the hotel where I'm currently staying. Doubly unfortunate is that the Swedish state (or whoever) are a bunch of assholes, who wont allow people to have a internet connection unless they have a Swedish personal number. I can't even buy a pay as you go connection, despite being able to provide a place of residence and proof of long time employment. I've been hunting for ways out of this situation for a couple of weeks now, but nada. Nothing. So come tomorrow, I'm out.

It's been a fun ride, and I hope to return whenever my company HR department gets its shit together and registers me over here. But that'll probably be a month or two out form here at least. If ever. So take care, have fun, keep the place alive and the hope for a sequel burning.

Goodbye Cruel World?

You were spoiling the SCDB-exclusive members of the fan community anyway. Try to bring Valaggar back with you when you return. See ya later.

Yeah, mail them to the gmail, I'll try to access it from public access point at irregular intervals. I can work on BEL without the net, I'll have more time for that now.

I don't get it. Work is keeping you off the internet?

But . . . how does one do work without the internet? ???

Anyway, Eth's making off with that torch ;D

Fear not the Arch Viles and Spectres of the Deepest Reaches, for the X is strong in this place.

In my next life I would like to be a pootworm. ANNIGILATE ME!

Wow Luki, I hate to see you take a break.  When you return, there'll be a thriving group of people fighting for a sequel, and a horde chanting "Luki shall return, he shall return, our leader will return."

Until we meet again.

  Okay, until Luki returns, I'm the leader.  Build a 300 foot statue in my honor!  It shall be made entirely from Japanese vending machine panties!  Spare no expense!

Good luck with those Swedish bureaucrats. Have you tried multiple ISPs?

I'm not sure that the stuctural properties of the panties will be up to such a task. But we shall do our best.
