Its now that time, where we say Goodbye

[crd319]

*sigh* I've been putting this off for probably longer than I should have but the last few weeks have made it clear that I can't ignore it any longer. As some of you probably know, I've entered a rather busy part of my life. I'm working a full time job AND going to grad school part time. A lot of the time, the two keep me pretty busy and limiting the amount of time I have for posting in BA. Lately, as the homework became more intense and involved writing really long pieces of code, I've found my drive to write anything meaningful here fading as well. That's why I've been practically non-existant the last few weeks. When I spend all day working on a computer and all night writing code, I have no desire to do either when I have free time.

And so, its reached the point where I feel its best for me to step down as the Head Fraccion and take a break from BA for a while. I just lack the time and motivation to be available to the division, which is not fair to you guys. It feels sad to write this, as BA has been a part of my life for the last 2 years. But sometimes even good things must come to an end. And so, I'd like to take the time to say a few farewells:

Wolf- Since day one I've been under your leadership. I've always looked up to you as a leader and tried to continually better myself as you took me under your wing as a fellow leader. And thank you for giving me the chance in the first place.

Pitchi- If there was one person who kept me going as long as I did, it was you. Even beyond the walls of BA, you have become someone I would consider a good friend. Just dont think you have heard the last from me. Because that just wont happen

ClumsyDuckie83- We never talked to much but I always enjoyed when we did. You have come far since you first joined and it was great to see you grow in the division. All I can really say is I wish I had gotten to know you better and to keep up the good work.

Vampee- You have come such a long way since your first days. In a normally serious and evil division, you breathed a breath of humor and lighthearted ness. Yet you still could spar like a fiend when the time called. I know you've been busy with school as well so I can say, good luck at school and with the rest of you life.

5P1K3S- Your posts always made me laugh (dont ask me why). Even your darkest and most cynical IC posts had an air of dark humor to me (maybe it was the way you chugged coke zero XD ). Either way, I'll miss reading your posts.

Dabeast- I'm sorry we never got to finish our spars. You were one of the first role models I had here, given your quick advancement and that we joined HM around the same time. You keep up the good work, my good sir.

Rayon- Shesh, you were my first rival here. You were the first to push me to start writing 500+ word posts in spars and to continually think ahead with my single-minded goal to beat you (at least in the early days). I doubt I would have gotten to where I am if it wasnt for that motivation. I only wish we had gotten to fight for real now that we are both of VC level.

Bleachc15- I think way back to when I first joined and I believe you were one of the first people to welcome me to HM. You, Asano, and Luna formed the welcome party for me and kept me coming back in those first few months while I became established. Plus your last spar with me was probably one of the best I've had on here. Thank you for all that.

And to everyone else- I wish you all the best of luck in the future.

So without dragging this out too long as I'm not one for long farewells, I will close it simply. You may see me pop up now and then as a priviaron, but for now...Goodbye to you all.

I will cherish the time I've had here with you all.

Oh this is a sad day me and you started the division at the same time and we grew together and had fun on the way i never thought id see the day of you retiring but Real life comes first as we always say.

Im gonna miss having you around and I wish i could have seen you make it to espada which you easily could have.

Good bye old friend make sure you come back when you have time

Pitchi- If there was one person who kept me going as long as I did, it was you. Even beyond the walls of BA, you have become someone I would consider a good friend. Just dont think you have heard the last from me. Because that just wont happen

.... good. Hopefully, you wont forget me. If you will - I know where you live D<

Okay, Topher, short and pregnant: We already talked about this, and
I will not writethree meters of text now, because there is just one thing
I want to tell you:

You're awesome, and I wish to stay in contact with you, who was a) my first BA kid
b) an amazing friend
c) someone who can give great advices

Lots of love to you, my dear, and I wish all success raining down from the skies for you, your university carreer and everything else.

I will not sign this as "Luna", because... its not her writing this.

Love,
Julia.

Ah man...It sucks to see BA lose one it's most fantastic RP'ers...Especially one who's awesomeness I got to witness first hand. (And that was only part of it. I've heard stories...Some of the stuff I've hear that you've done is beyond mind blowing.)

Like you said that I pushed you, you pushed me as well. I practically had to pull a rabbit out my hat with each post, just be sure you didn't erase me in 5 seconds... And you always gave me no choice but to respond to your scary strategies and attacks with walls of text, that only got bigger and bigger as things went on. I honestly had to change my entire approach to how I sparred, after the last time we met. Which I couldn't be more thankful for at this point. Easily you had the biggest influence on me here, I can't really say that anyone else here constantly forced me to up my game the same way you did.

I also agree with you fully. It's a shame that we didn't get the chance to fight it out at the maximum at our current levels before now, but I'm not going to let the invitation die just because you're leaving. If you ever find the time, and the mood or patience, I would seriously be honored if you took up that offer for one last battle...


Well, before I end up writing an essay, I'd better stop here.

Until Next Time- See Ya.
And seriously, best of wishes to you from this point on.

I know. While I would have loved to stay around and work up towards espada, it just wasnt meant to be. It wouldn't be fair to a division to have a captain who doesnt have the time and wont have the time for probably the next 5 years (I can only see it getting worse).

I may still be around from time to time. Maybe I'll be more inclined to post just generic topics without the additional pressures of being a Mod. Either way, Thank you.

Trust me Julia, you wont lose contact with me. I've talked with you a lot more often outside of BA than inside, that will not change.

Maybe. If I decide to get my feet wet again at some point...Chroma will be gunning for you.

[WOLF]

Always a heavy weight on me when we lose a great person to the busy world of RL. WA, Ace, Aqua, Zorn, Jemfox, Raena....I'm sure you get the point by now XD.

Watching you all grow as you advanced up the ranks into leaders on your own. These things are the things that I'm most proud of from my time on BA. Nothing I have done on here, tops helping to get you all to that point. I'm glad to of been able to see you get to that point.



On a personal note I want you to know, it's very rare but does happen once every blue moon where I can find someone who can push me, not push me just to ressureccion, but actually push me to use 100% of my rp skill. A talent like your's don't come by too often. I will always remember our spar as it goes down on my favorite spars list. In fact there is only one other person lol Asuka. So you are on a list where there is only you and one other person. Most definitely a thing to be by proud of.

In time maybe we will cross paths again. When/if that time comes, we most definitely have to do that again.

Good luck on your future endeavors.

NOOOOOOOOOO!! DON'T GO!! DX

..seriously now, your posts were the ones I referred to the most when I first joined up. (no, you had idea, because I'm a frikken ninja. xD) You're an amazing role-player, sometimes a little too serious that I can't find how to respond to your posts. And your awesomeness here, I'm sure, you reflect in real life.

..do your best with your job, do better than best with your studies and do your bestest (yay grammatical error~! ♫) with life.

..we'll miss you, we'll miss Shaher, Ilbis and Chroma, we'll miss your awesomness, we'll miss you-- I think you get the point now. XD But yeah. *sniffles and wipes a tear* ♥

..don't be a stranger, nee?

[5P1K3S]

LOL.....XD

Since the beggining.....when you where Shaher......I enjoyed to speak with you.....and enjoyed to read your posts......and when Iblis appeared it became even better.....I always enjoyed making Supaiku argue with him and have small fights.........I truly enjoyed to see how your character evolved with time.....and it was truly impressive for me how you pulled it out so greatly.......even now.....I miss Iblis
When you became Chroma we talked a lot less with each other, but I still enjoyed seeing some of yours spars.....and speaking with you once in a while.....actually, the only thing I regret is that I never had an actual spar with you.......

I hope the best for you......and I understand your current position.....so I wish you the best of lucks n.n

See ya later........
