The Leaving Song

[Cardinal Sin]

The Leaving

Song

We all know that this thread can be rather sad when it comes to people leaving FGB. This thread; however, is meant for those to announce their departure from FGB. Due to a few concerns the Guides have had over the past few weeks while watching over this thread, we have come up with a few changes that will take effect immediatly.

Because of the amount of people coming and going out of FGB, we've decided to limit the thread to those who are posting to leave.

Please do not post in this thread unless you are taking a hiatus/leave from FGB.

To those who are choosing to leave FGB:

Please remember that this should have been something that has been thought out thoroughly. If we find that you are leaving then come back within hours or days, we will be forced to take a little bit of action to put something like this to a stop. We, again, ask that you think this out thorougly BEFORE posting in this thread.

Note:When posting in the Leaving Song thread all your previous work will be void if you ever decide to return to the FGB. Meaning that only the posts after your return will count for your next promotion request.


Thanks,
FGB Guides

Well what can I say, I've been in the FGB for over a year now and have grown to enjoy alot the company and friends that I have come to know, old and new. It's a point now that I have been thinking about for some time and have decided to leave the FGB for.....

Yes, the ADA...

Hope to RP with some of ya's soonies,

Hey yall. Some of you know me, most of you may not. Tis me, Will. :D

NE who, after a long, drawn out absence that has lasted for 3 weeks, with an overall long term absence lasting since November, I think it's only appropriate that I leave. I'm not active in the game, and it's lost its appeal for me. I'm a busy man now-a-days, and even when I'm not busy, I'm not interested in coming her much anymore. :( Not to mention my summer job takes up ALL of my spare time. I've been wrestling with this idea for a while now, and finally I decided that I can't keep this up. It's not fair to you guys to have an 'active' member who's.... not really active. :$ So I leave here for a second time with a second batch of fond memories and thoughts. :D

If anyone wants to stay in contact with me, my msn addy is this:

wdemery@student.ysu.edu

My AIM addy is this: (though I'm not on much)

cuzizkool

I'm also active on Facebook and sometimes Myspace. For those addresses, PM me.

I still plan to hang around a bit, to check my PM box and whatnot, so none of you all better be strangers! ;)

Oh, and for those who have PMed me and I haven't responded, I'm sorry. Like I said, busy busy busy. Again, best wishes to you all!

Thanks for you all who have made my 'second' stay here so enjoyable.

Hi everybody! Or I guess I should say bye every body. That's right I'm leaving. I'm not very active in here any more, and I don't think it's fair to everyone else that I stick around. It's been great but I just can't get into the game anymore. If you want to keep in touch with me I will still be a member of the main site, so feel free to PM me.

Bye all!

[Solstice]

In all honesty I don't know how many times I've done this but I'm pretty sure it's the last. It's not that I don't wanna RP anymore or that I don't like anyone here. Believe me it's not the case. I'm a very indecisive person, I can never make up my mind. I try to stay and keep active but slowly I get sidetracked and oops I haven't posted in a month. It's not fair to people who actually wanna stay active and say are looking for FGB job positions that I am currently holding. It makes me feel terrible that I do this all the time so instead of completely leaving it'll be somewhat of a I'll lurk and pop up once and a while just without the RPing. I can't really do it anymore, I've moved onto writing dramatic short stories and medium length love stories.. it's too hard multi-tasking and remembering where I left off everywhere. So if it's all right with the guides I would like to be able to still post and say hi to friends on occassion or even suggest things to keep the game alive and whatnot. I don't have MSN or AIM anymore so really this is the only place I can talk. If not well then I hope to get in contact with everyone I've met and become good friends with and I'm sorry for the wayyyy long post. But yeah thanks again for this oppertunity once more, it was fun while it lasted. :D

[Dark and Twisty]

2nd year of college feels like junior year of high school plus i have a job and need to prepare to transfer to a university. I am really pressed for any free time. That means i only have time to dedicate myself to one side and seeing as i've been in the FGB for 3 years i've exhausted everything i could explore here. So i'm an ADA'er now when i have the time to jump into the WWD.

So see ya around Crimson's a full fledged demon now.

So you can remove me from the rosters

[Jinx]

I was going to save this and post it on MS but I figure I will just do this now. I'd rather end the time I have here on this board, rather than another. Once CtP closes, I have decided to end any connection to the WWD and the game itself. Certain factors of this game have made it a place to not be around or even want to be around anymore. So I am going to do myself a huge favor and leave. So with that I will say goodbyes now:

Since ADA can see this I will start there.

ADA members: You have been a fantastic group to know and be a part of and I will miss all the fun to silly banter threads. They were such fun and bonded the side when there was nothing much happening at a time. Good thing for them! But you all are great.

Lil I will miss working with you and reading your posts. I don't know of anyone more passionate about the game. Don't let anyone tell otherwise. You helped the game and are a big part of it. You are a fantastically wonderful person Lil.

Jen and Ellen Good luck in your positions. You don't need any luck at all though. I enjoyed all the time I worked and chatted with you on here.


FGB

Guides: All the ladies in this group are amazing and you bring the fun into the game. You all know how to work well with each other and don't resort to anything petty or sarcastic. You post to members in a way that doesn't belittle them which makes you all such a class act all the way. You all are amazing!

Billy, Rene. Steven, Kate, and Nick I have enjoyed the time we've worked together a whole lot. Thank you for the fun. It made the time so enjoyable. Billy you have been a pure joy to work with and know.

FGB Members: This group is the BEST by far. So many members who love the game. How can this side not rock. From the time on CB til now, you all know how to make the game fun. I will miss this side a whole lot. Thank you so so much.

[Death Note]

well, after all the years, and becoming inactive, and active, and back and forth repeatedly, I've finally made a decision that this game is no longer for me, and it's my time to quit and move on for good. I've made various degrees of friendships through this game, some great, and some that lead to bad times, but all that is in the past, and to all my current friends, I will miss RPing with you all, but to whom it may concern and for those that enjoy my graphics, I"ll still be checking the board for requests, and feel free to add me to any messenger available if I have a s/n on there. PM me first, though. I'm not saying I"ll never be back to play, but it seems unlikely at this point in time.

See you guys around! Take care, everyone.

[Amethyst]

Never thought I would post this so soon.

I had a GREAT time in this place. I learnt a lot of new things and gained new friends. Tom, Jane, Nick, Carly, Jarrod... you guys are awesome!!! :hug: I had a lot of fun RPing with you, developing my character. I usually get this flashbacks with all the Lili/Ryan/Freya thingy. Then Lili's birthday party and all the Ethan affair. It was all fantastic and very special. I thought I will have time for this place despite all the exams but I was wrong. :( It turn almost impossible for me to enter here since beginning of June and I will have exams till middle of July so its obvious that I won't have time for MS anymore, at least anytime soon. So, I hope we will meet in the future, but for now its a good bye.

Take care everyone.
Kisses!!!! xoxo :-p

Bown! Chicka! Wown! Wown! :party:

It’s me! So I recently posted in the leave of absence thread, but after thinking on it I’m pretty sure my FGB days are over. Yes, it’s sad and true, but I’ve decided that it’s officially happening. I’m sure there’ll be many who shed a tear over my departure. It’s ok, it‘ll be ok! Other than that I’ve really spent and put a lot of time and dedication into this game and I hope those in the future do just as much. I’ve spent most of my teenage years at this place and have gone through the addictive behavior that most of the newbies are possibly experiencing.

I’ve been through the best and the worst - and still am ready to argue some of the points in those meetings! Although I feel like most of you have oddly enough through a simple online game have helped shaped my life. Some for the better, and some for the worse. I’d like to point out a few of the most amazing people on this board who’ve taken the time to really get to know me; Billy, Kelsey, Mattie, Nataly, Nick, Tom, Will, and many more of which I can’t remember due to the severe drugs dripping through my veins - just kidding, but there are many more. I’m just lazy.

I think you all are amazing unique writers and hopefully all of you will find your way in this game, as well as in this world. Thanks to Gina, Jessica, and Bing for being the sole three lovely ladies who lead each of the covens that I participated in - even if Bing was only a short while! Other than that I appreciate you guys giving me a chance, even though my writing was fairly horrible at the beginning and in my opinion still sucks! Now hoping that those leading the game never fret or abuse their powers and keep the game running as the same game I fell in love with five years ago!

I will miss you all frands! Hoping we’ll meet up in possibly a few more games before I finally move on! :heart:

[Givenchy]

As I begin to type this, I'm holding my breath filled with anxiety. I never thought my time would come and I certainly never thought I would be posting this before I turned into a level 6, but I've given up on that. I'm normally not a quitter and those who know me or of me, know that I will not back down from anything I do, but sometimes, these things just become inevitable.

Four years ago, I joined not knowing what I was getting myself into. I figured it was just another Charmed fan site and I would have NEVER thought I would be playing a character who is a replica of my ego with powers. Now, every time I log onto the site and someone's with me, I bravely defend this make believe world because it made happy and was a "secret" part of my life. I can honestly say that CT: P, WWD and M-S have all shaped me into a different person - but I'm still the New York b!tch that everyone has known me to be. You either "love me or hate me" I guess is the best way to put it. And I've become friends with many and enemies with quite a few. Those who understood me for who I am and those who thought I was obnoxious. While I would have much rather left with only friends, not everything is perfect - I'm not perfect.

I was planning on making this a simple post, but as I progressed, I realized that leaving is so much more meaningful and heart wrenching than I anticipated. And I definitely cannot leave without paying my dues to those great people who have impacted me in so many ways.

Kate: If anyone has made the biggest impact on me, it was you. Even though you're no longer on the board, I couldn't be happier to see all the great things happening to you in life. I don't have to say much more because I have told you before and I speak to you often anyway. :-p

Jarrod: How would I have survived without you? You made everything so much more fun and joined me when we made fun of all the silly things and power trips. :-p You're absolutely amazing and this is a friendship that I will always value.

Nick: Nick!! You fabulous thing, you! :-p Doing TG4 with you was truly an honor. You're an amazing asset to the game and an amazing friend. You will definitely be getting texts from me as usual. xD Muah! :D

Jesska: My second Guide. You were my team mate in TG3 and like Nick, it was an honor! I was gifted with great Guides and I'm glad that you were one of them.

Bing: Since working along your side as a Group Mission Trainer, I was blessed with your presence. Having you as my Guide was also great! While it wasn't for long, you are great and really deserve the position! :D

Smanfy: You have worked harder than anyone I know and for that, FGB is lucky to have you as a Guide. You have also served as a great mentor when it comes to computer related things! xD It is always great talking to you and do expect to get IM's from me in the near future. :-p

While there are many more that I want to name, I have taken up way too much posting here so let me just wrap things up.

I enjoyed all of my jobs and while some might believe that I didn't do them properly, I know that I gave my all, especially to my jobs as Combat Trainer and Group Mission Trainer. I consistently did what I needed to do and more. I gave my all and I leave knowing that I contributed my best.

So now, this is my bowing out. This my goodbye to everyone and I wish everyone well. I doubt I will ever be role playing, but I know I will stop by on occasion. Good luck to everyone on their future endeavors!

[One Voice]

I think I might as well make this official. I'm not one for long goodbyes either so this will be short and sweet. I haven't been around all that much this summer and the end of last school year because of work, and I know that with college starting on Monday I definitely won't have time for FGB/WWD. It has been great re-connecting with old faces and meeting a few new ones, but I think its time I move on for good. I'll still be around on MSN/AIM and maybe the offices so some of you can't get rid of me that easily. :-p

Good bye and good luck,
Vanessa

[Stereo Love]

Well, it's now official, with working full time and with an upcoming board under my belt, I won't be able to keep playing the two characters, so seeing as I loves the ADA, I'll be dropping the FGB. It's been great playing Marcus and don't worry, he'll be about but as Tristan's Clone :hehe:. I don't need to say goodbye to anyone really because I'll still keep in contact with ya and RP with ya, so anyways, Bye Bye FGB. :shifty:

[Hush]

My God, do I hate making posts like this. It's not that I really want to make this post, ether. The trouble is, I just don't have the time to play anymore. If I have the time, I know where I want to put my attention, so this is really hard.

I love the FGB, but it's time for me to move on. While I have stayed around for a long time, I really am serious this time. I love you all, and while I feel individual messages to people are sweet, I won't be making them. Everyone knows how I've felt about them all this time, and I don't feel the need to say it.

I will be working in the ADA in my spare time, and I realize that it's a bit hypocritical. It's just that I have few responsibilities there, and I know that I can uphold them. I can't uphold the responsibilities I have here anymore.

With love,
-Todd

[Obliterate]

It seems my life never gets to the point where I can settle down and actually enjoy RPG when I could come here to enjoy my time away. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to come here as I thought I would so, I posting here as well in ADA, my goodbyes. I apologize that I thought I would be coming back but I rarely have time to do this, let alone getting on the chat programs to chat. I've meet some awesome people through here so if you still want to chat via e-mail which I can do please feel free to message me and I will provide you my e-mail address. Take it easy everyone and have fun when you can with life!

Blessed be -

Heather

[Hush]

I wish I could say that I wanted to stay, but I don't. It's obvious that I haven't been around, and it's becoming increasingly clear that the things that are important to me in my life have changed dramatically. This game, as much as I loved it in the past, has lost it's place in my life. It saddens me on a level, but at the same time I take this as a sign of me growing up. I'll miss everyone dearly, but most of you know how to get in touch with me, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Always,
Todd

[Constriction]

It saddens me to say that it is my time to turn to leave the game. FGB, or WWD, will always be one of the many influences on my writing style. I don't even want to think about what my writing would be like without the structure and aid provided when I first signed up. There has never been another game for me that was easy to get attached to. I don't even think I will able to delete this website from my favorites. This is a great RP'ing experience that I can only hope continues to develop and thrive. Thank you to all of those who gave me the best constructive critiscim that I will always remember. And to all the wonderful new people I've met, you're all the best. I've had a really great time here and it saddens me that I have to go. Nonetheless, personal life seems to have gotten the best of me and it wouldn't be fair for me to drag on in WWD when I know I can't be fully devoted.

Hope to see you all around,

Nate.

[Dark and Twisty]

Another time for a goodbye. My heart just isn't in the game anymore unfortunately. I'll miss everyone and of course I'll lurke every once in awhile. Just don't want to be another ghost in the rosters.

Love,
Mig

[Stereo Love]

It's time for a goodbye, though I didn't think I'd be doing this, I seem to have lost that love for the game that I once had.

I've been a member of the WWD since 2005 and it's been an awesome time playing with so many fantastic RPers.

But the time has come to move on from the game.

I loved playing both sides and shall try to pop into the WWD once in a while to read posts and such.

I'd love to thank the Guides for giving me the chance to take part in such an amazing RPG.

The Warlords too if they should read this.

I'll keep in contact with everyone who I was anyways and wish you all the best for the future. :)

- Kieran

[Sobriquet]

OK, I'm not going to do a huge long goodbye because that would just sound phony and cheap. But it's time for me to get out whilst I still can. I wanna thank Corni, Carly, Smanfy, Nate, Andy and everyone for making my time here enjoyble and I hope you guys still enjoy the game ;) Ryan'll always be one of my favourite characters and it's hard to see him go for good but it's just something I have to do. So, thank you once again and I hope you carry on having fun and kicking some demon butt ;)

- Tom

*copy and paste*

I never thought I'd see the day that I would be posting here again. I never thought anything could come between me and my love for this game, but here we are

Finding the right words to describe how sad I am at leaving is tough, and I'd probably get it wrong so I won't try. I have loved being a part of this game. I joined six years ago, when Charmed was still going strong and became a member of the ADA. Those were some great times RP'ing with such great players as Kate, Manu and Lea amongst others. There were a host of great people in FGB at that time too - Vix and Mags and Todd and Jono. I was never one to come to the front to be noticed, but I played the game and had a wonderful experience doing it.

Life took me away from the game, but I eventually returned after the switch to MS and played with all you awesome people - Hilleh, Bingsy, Corni, Nate, Andy, Clinton, Kie, Mark, Nick and Codi. And more recently, the epic!Chorgy people - Amy, Luis, Bonnie, Daphne and Carly. I've RP'ed with a lot of people over the years, and have loved every minute of it. I'm going to miss coming on everyday to see what new dramas have unfolded, who Malice has slapped with a bout of mental madness and what mischief Bobby has been getting into or who Alexander has selected as his next victim

It was a dream come true to reach 6 and then 7, and I will treasure the experience, even if it felt at times like I'd slipped into the Wonderful World of Oz. I am so deeply grateful to Lea and Mike for giving me the opportunity. My time as Warlord was short, but I hope I did things that benefited all the players and I hopefully played a small part to bring ADA back from the slump.

Now though, my time as an active part of this game has come to and end. Wrestling with Demons has been a big part of my life for a long time, and has shaped me as a person probably in more ways than I realise. Thanks to everyone I've RP'ed with over the years, you made the experience wonderful for me.

I promise to lurk every once in a while just to keep up on my WWD drama

Much love,
Christmas

[Dissident]

It's been a blast...

But I can no longer, in good conscience, stay here.
I will from now on focus all my attention on the other side of the fence, and to all those of you who are in a storyline with me and would still like to be in the future I am sure that we can work something out across the Great Divide. It's still Mari there.

I'll see you there.

[Obsidian]

I'd like to post something eloquent here but having thought about it for the past few weeks, I've still come up with a blank. My first thoughts were focused on whether to leave the game entirely but I'm adopting Mari's solution to focus on the ADA, so y'all can catch me over there and in WWD. As for FGB? It's turning into little more than a ridiculous joke. I'm out.

Been thinking about doing this for awhile. It wasn't something I wanted to do as I love(d) this place but I think my time here has come to an end. I'm not going to get into a big goodbye I think Gina and Mari already summed up how I feel about everything.

[Stereo Love]

I never really wanted to write one of these again, but alas it's something that I must do. I'm saying goodbye to not only the WWD, but MS overall as I need to focus solely on my RL. I wish you all the best in the future and hope that you get the things you want in life. :)

[Funny Girl]

The time has come to make my peacing out official. Love you all, but life's simply too busy for online fun.

Later, loverlies! :hug:

[Ivellios]

Due to suffering an ETOH assisted grade 3 simple concussion on Saturday, I am not allowed to overwork my wee lil brain for a bit. Since writing like this is considered strenuous mental activity (It shocked me to when I asked) I am forced to take a small brake from MS. I will still be around and on MSN if you need me but any threads I have will have to be on ice until I am clear to do things again (~1week or so).

~Nick

[Unforgiving]

*copies and pastes*

Right, I've been building up to this for a while now, with the last month being on away status but I wanted to get everything confirmed before I made it official on the boards.

Some people know about this already, some people don't. Today, I signed a contract having completed all testing for the New Zealand Police. This means, I'll be going away to police college for the next 5 months from August, with no time for such fun as Role playing. So, I'm gonna say my good bye's now, even though I'll still be lurking around until I officially leave in August. Obviously I won't be completing any jobs in an official capacity anymore, or beginning many new things. If you want to contact me, I am still fully available for a PM!
