It consumes too much of my time; as long as I visit MTGS at all (or any other mtg site) I have motivation not to do things and to go on the computer for no good reason. I can't half-quit magic(too addicted), so I have to go cold turkey; otherwise Id like to stay in debate forums and read.
I wish it could be different, but I can't trust myself. I didn't even find out the results of PTLA to prevent myself from thinking about it. Also, my articles probably wont get finished; I wanted to finish my mill article and make a zoo and Domain article, but Id have to get sucked in again to do so. Sorry about that; I really enjoyed writing them, even if nobody on the extended forums ever seemed to really take them to heart (=P). Most the really good people in the etended forum have left/gone to starcity anyways.
I could talk to people individually, but that would just result in me leaving out people. I remember the first Epic and the failed attempts to start the second, trying to create that progress-based set in Card Creation with staxringold ie stax reborn ie stax so long ago, and Enigma's death. Not to be forgotten are the 3CBs I'm sure to have played a hundred of, the mafia games that I never really balanced and the numerous interesting debates always going on Debate (I tended to agree with Denver a lot, I believe. Furor's posts were always worthwhile as well. Not forgetting the rest of you, I promise!). I always learned something from them.
I feel really bad about leaving (especially since I happen to be listening to sentimental music right now; Aeris's Theme from FFVII, to be exact. People who like that style of music should download any .hack music they can find; Yuki Kajiura is the composer). I feel like I'm leaving friends, which is hard because I've just left all my irl friends (i can't believe i used that acronym) for college, and I have trouble making close friends because I'm so wierd (and antisocial.. Im sure Im making myself sound more like a loser than I really am). I hope cutting loose will motivate me to go out there and be more assertive, my biggest shortcoming. I miss my old friends a lot, and I'm sure I'll miss you guys too.. I know I can visit, but I don't know if I should. I'll visit when I feel I can.
My AIM is blocked up by the lame UC santa Cruz access agent; if you need to contact me for any reason (I can't really think of any, maybe if you need information on Berkeley or Domain decks), my email is [email]bng@ucsc.edu[/email] . I don't even know how well known I am on the forums; I actually didn't post that much or that regularly. Maybe not many people will notice. Id be sad, but Id also understand. Hell, I didn't know HKKID had left until I came here to write this. I remember HKKID.
If anyone read all this, I'll be surprised and happy.
After writing all that I'm giving up, I don't want to leave anymore. I really don't.
Goodbye,

Well I'm not going to beg you to stay but we need good extended writers like you. Now I am going to have to step up and earn mywriters tag. But anyway have a fun time, umm not playing magic...
Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
Hate to see you go, you are one of the good extended posters. But I know what you mean about this place sucking up time and such. Good luck with everything else.

Don't mind my posts, they are probably just a product of gang violence
sparrow i never knew you personally, but i recognise your name everywhere. i've considered you one of the senior members of the site since i joined. i just passed you in post count today, when i saw this thread. i'm sorry to see you go, but i know that i myself spend entirely too much time on the forums.
Bye, dude. I'm new about here, but I've seen some of the stuff you've written (very kickass!) and hope you change your mind. If you really don't wanna be here, then you should most definitely leave (no offense meant at all, man), but spare time is for what you want to do, not what you think you should want to do. If you like the boards, stay on the boards. And I have confidence that you'll read this, you don't make a thread like this if you aren't fishing for a reason to stick around.
Well that's too bad. Your mafia game was the first real game I ever played. Now I'm hooked. So it's sort of all your fault.
So long, Frodo.

Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.
