TL;DR

BYEEEEEEE





Some of you might have noticed that I went inactive, some of you didn't care, most of you are thinking ...

[image: thumbs.gfycat.com]


ANYWAY.
I'm absolutely fine, nothing bad happened. Actually something good did: One day I just stopped logging in to torn-dot-com

I like to think that my account had rather good stats for its age, I had gear to go with my build and knew how to effectively use it. I had money, I was chugging cans, my halloween basket progress was great.
But deep inside I had stopped enjoying the game quite a while ago, what kept me here was a the sunk cost fallacy. Can't quit while you're ahead, right?

If you are stuggling with the same situation, let me tell you: you can just go. It doesn't hurt a bit. The investment is not real (for me anyway, since I never subscribed. But even if you did - that money is gone anyway).

And if you wanna stay, stay. Whatever makes oyu happy.

In the end, I am just here to distribute my stuff to my friends, drop some names and bow out. Here it goes.

I have ever only been in 3 factions.

Epic Mafia was my first home. daprinceomar had invited me to play torn and this small but oh so sweet faction with a bunch of people that became my friends for the rest of my torn life was an amazing place. Here I met ade, shoog, quietsilence, talis, matchlock, fuzzy, kirb and more. shout out to phoenixi, who was my friend before and grew with me here.

Looking for new adventures I was a lucky noob to be accepten into Monarch Research
And my oh my what an adventure it was. Thanks to dictator ekiM_ I had found a true long-term home. Adobi taught me things I didn't know I needed to learn, Betty_white became the best partner in crime. I moved up to a council position, where I had the pleasure of working with a great team. Abs, mono, drach, epsi, swolf and komir. The people changed, new coucil was selected, it was a great time. Bye Var, bye chuck, bye blackie.

I'm sorry to not be naming any more names of people from MR, ME, HQ and whatever a Vanguard is - you're just too many, but know that I miss most of you.

I left MR at a time where I was already unhappy with the game and chose to try and re-ignite the spark by joining Vulpes Vulpes.
Thank you for giving me a chance, Mud. And sorry I just stopped logging in. The short stay here was amazing, you foxes are foxy indeed. Shout-out to alfi, who was the sole reason I went to MR so many moons ago.

The more I write the more people I could name, but I think I need to stop now. Im truly sorry if I forgot to name you, which doesn't mean that I have forgotten you.

Do you Scary.... but you know someone has to type the obligatory I can Haz stuff post. So there you go. The suspense is over. Its done. The thread can continue in peace now. I CAN HAZ STUFF? Seriously if you are quitting makes some noobs happy.

And goodluck

Good luck irl! Never interacted with you in torn but you seem like a nice person! Kind of you to give stuff away :)

Someone leaving for the BEST of reasons - because the game doesn't bring the joy it used to.

As far as I can remember, we've never spoken, I do remember you though b/c kewl name, and you probably killed me at some time or other, whatever. So, thanks for stopping by to let us know your absence is the result of a Good Thing and not a Bad or Very Bad one, and wish you all the best.

GL! Nice one on the realization, when life gets busier for me, I will likely do the same, but maybe when I have enough for a DB :D

I definitely don’t stick around because sunk cost fallacy. I just know if I don’t find something to replace torn I’ll either return or find another rpg or something so I stick around for now.

Touching grass isn’t too bad though. Good for you.

Looking at your statistics, you did an awesome journey here in torn in your 191d you were logged in. wish u the same insane trip out there in the real world!

You've been one of my low-key faves, and I am sad we never interacted more. Kick some ass in the things you have passion for, and f**k the rest. I am so happy you are doing you.
