Well, I hate to add another name to the list, but I can no longer hide this fact.

I am leaving the game at release and I will probably not return ever.

My reason's for leaving have no connection to the game itself nor the community but more to the fact that I and Vendetta have long since parted ways.

Spellcast, will take the SDF and hopefully will lead it better than I ever have and I have full confidence in him and his ability.

I want to tell the Devs that they have done some amazing work and that I wish them the best.

To the pilots, I wish to say good-bye. I would say good luck, but luck is for the unprepared, and no one amongst our number's is unprepared for the comming months.

I will remain until the release, playing infrequently, and unless my attitude towards the idea shifts radically, I will talk only once more ingame as [SDF] Black 1.

I thank you for you words of encouragement and criticism (yes I thank you SM's for testing my ability and the SDF's unity) and I hope that you all find your niche in the universe.

Sincerely,

Jared Woody

I, for one, is sad to see you leave like this, and hope I'll be able to meet you post release. Though its scetchy at best wether I'll be flying then or not (i'll need a better income or sponsorship...) but, I hope I'll see you.

Why? Cost issues? The ship contest is still on, right? I'm still working on a few designs. Anyway, sorry to hear this news. Good luck with whatever you have planned. You'll be missed in Serco.

=(

Aww man, we'll miss you dude.... drop by #vendetta sometime yeah?

You'll be back... just you wait.... you will..

=p

Bah. Another player lost.

Well have a nice life. Visit often.

Thanks guys, I'll visit you guys on IRC occasionally if I can. I need to re-dl it so could someone give me a good URL for it?

The SDF Ship Contest IS still on, I would never cancel it after such a great show of support.

I am leaving the game primarily because my life is becoming increasingly demanding. I recently split with my girlfriend and picked up another so cultivating that is taking time as well as Im nearing the end of the skool year so FINALS FINALS FINALS and I have to study.

And I won't lie, I've gotten burned out on Vendetta. I looked forward to the Guild Support system that I had hoped to see in 3.4 that is now a "Sometime". Also, I find myself annoyed with the entire license idea. I'll be logging on to announce the winner of the SDF Ship Contest and that could easily be my last time flying with you all again.

Black 1

PS: I intend to infrequently pop in until the end of the Test so that I may observe and aide Spellcast as he takes command. However the most that will be is my holding in the s12 station communicating to the SDF pilots.

cya Pyroman_Ace. We'll miss you (as we have everyone else who's left). Have a good Vendetta-free life after you leave.

Best Wishes,

[Copied from thread "SDF CO Nearing Retirement"]

Okay, it's official, I'm tenuring my resignation to the SDF Central Command as of today.

I am no longer able to fly well, and with release comming and a lack of money due to my unemployment, I will probably not see the SDF past release.

I want to tell you that I am proud of what we've accomplished and what we've held together. The SDF is truely a force to be reckoned with and I hope that with my leaving, that you will all show Spellcast the same brotherhood as you showed me.

I will always hold the memories of flying with you close to my heart and will never forget the good times we had. I wish you all well in the comming weeks and months.

Hail the Lady Serco!

Jared Woody,
[SDF] Black 1,
CO (intel), SDF

Way to bump a thread Katarn.

actually it's that idiot Desann, not Katarn you're actually thinking of. Name-copy, and...etc..

What ever happened to the "no name calling" rule?

How fitting that weeks after I retire, I get shipped off to be buried and then my thread becomes cannon fodder, it truely is fitting!

Just flitted in to see whats up with Vendetta after about 3 months off.

Well, you seem to be doing well enough for someone recently buried. Wecome back (for however long that may be).

I'll prolly be around for a few days just saying hi and stuff, then I'll probably leave again...just interesting to come back and see whats been going on

Why... must... threads... be... dug... up...

I'll drive a stake through it's heart
