A Salute and A Good-Bye

[Tomahawk]

Good luck Reaver. Stay focused and don't let all the tail in college sidetrack you from your goal.

On a side note - when your first game is ready for beta testing I better get a bloody invite!

[SHOOTORDIE]

I have to agree on not being able to see skittles the same way. Good luck with becoming a video game designer, I'm actually thinking about going in the same field. Maybe in 5-7 years we make a new gaming company, huh? Again good luck brethren of the DSA.


And for the reference I'm also a teen, just don't post much and very busy with school. Also currently have a broken mic.

[Brocman]

Good Luck in school Reaver, didn't get to know you that much but I hope you do well. Word of advice: stay away from the fraternities they will make you drink all night every night and also make you pay money to hang out with them, very ghey.

Study hard, get to know your professors, and as soon as you can find out if your school is in touch with businesses who offer internships, get one. If you can, get an internship ASAP. And don't be afraid to do work for free because your gonna have to. By the time you graduate though you will be making some real dough

As a side note, I do graphic design and 3d rendering if you need to hire somebody in your video game making career, lol.

[Phoenix]

All the best to you Reaver. You are a good guy and I have no doubt you will be successful in the future.

Take care and don't be a stranger.

[RegentOne]

Reaver is and has grown up. Your post was true, sincere, and from the heart Reaver. We appreciate your honor and integrity; traits of adulthood. I know each of us will miss your presence in game but the price is worth the toll for you to succeed in life. Study hard and show the same commitment you have displayed in DSA. I look forward to hearing of your successes. Take care of yourself Reaver.

[Reaver]

Thank you to everyone, I appreciate everything you all have done for me and helped me with. I will still be in contact and post on the forums, sometimes game with you all every now and then, But Thank you all for standing behind me on this and encouraging me on it.

I look forward to seeing you guys soon.

Take care and don't be a stranger.

Stranger is not in my vocabulary, lol.

Reaver, we didn't play together a whole lot, but when we did it was always fun. Good luck in college, career, and life, man!

P.S. I just turned 16 a few weeks ago and I'm pretty sure we're not lacking too much in the way of teens around here.

[shocker101]

You know muncher I swear sometimes I would think you were high all the time. What a Putz? Muncher may have forgot because my voice is not the average 18 year olds voice. I remeber my first tryout and no one could believe me that I was only 15. HAHAHAH Reaver I swear I will come and visit man.

[Muncher]

You guys are just killing my credibility.

[Deslock]

Reaver,

As long as RaTix agrees, as long as I am around, you'll always have a home here. You've come a long way. Both in your gaming skills, and maturity.

Rather than say goodbye, I'd say to you "Auf Weidersehen". Because we Germans do not believe in saying "goodbye". It translates into "Until we see each other again". Which I'm sure we will, even it's only on the Judgement day.

You are a fine player, that has grown to become a fine person. And you WILL be missed. Even through all your ups and downs, right up until now, you have been loyal, and faithful to us all. My goodness how far you have come.

So don't say goodbye. Rather say "I'm going away for a bit, but I'll be back". Beacause life has sooo many twists and turns, Don't be eager to leave, You never know when you'll be back.

Take care my young friend, and May God bless you and watch over you and keep you safe from harm. And don't worry. Time will pass, and things will change. But there will always be a place of honor here amongst all for you.

Be safe, and be smart. Live hard, and love even stronger.

Deslock.

Aww Reaver who will we make fun of? Jeter that's who!

lol


Good luck with everything in Charlotte. I'm just up the road from you and Regent is right down the road so we should all meet up one time.


Just remember to have fun while you study, just don't have too much fun!



Also if you see



get her autograph

lol

[Kamui]

Your always DSA Reaver, I think that you are always welcome to play without no matter what. Like Deslock said, "Auf Weidersehen".

[Taco_assassin]

Seriously Reaver. It's been a good few years with you here as the little brother. Just incase everyone else's posts haven't said it before, you'll always be DSA. I am happy and proud to see you choosing your course and going into action. You will be missed here, but we all know we'll see you in game when you can. Take care of yourself Brother. We'll be here.

[LordCompulon]

Good luck, buddy! If you work your arse off in school now, then you be rewarded with a good career later. Now is the time to invest in your future. I have faith that you'll do well.

Despite what some folks say, drugs and porn are okay. Just like with video games, real life comes first. As long as you get your homework done and get to class on-time, there is nothing wrong with a little fun. Keep your head together, your eyes on the long term goals, and you'll get where you need to be going.

We've had many good times together, and its been fun hearing your voice change over the years. Thanks for being a part of our lives and our clan.

We'll be here when you get the bandwidth and interest for clan gaming again. Until then, take care.

Service to the Empire,

Lord Compulon

Reaver, I've been away from the net for a while and I missed your post. I'm sorry to hear that man, but I'm sure we'll meet up again at some point. Honestly, I busted my ass in college, was an RA, etc, but I still had PLENTY of free time. My friend and I would play pool almost every day from 3-5pm before dinner. I had a 3.6 gpa. My friends in architechture would sleep in their studio. It's just a comparison.

Don't set any absolutes aside from getting good grades. College is about learning more than just what is taught in the classroom. Have a REASONABLE amount of fun. Adapt and overcome. Every year, my birthday would fall at midterms. Since I procrastinated, I was always working on papers on my birthday or that weekend. BUT, I got the work done and there were plenty of other nights to hang out and do stuff.

Finally:
1 - I'm keeping the avatar for as long as possible (ie, until I get really bored of it).

2 - Never give up porn. That was terrible advice. :p That's like saying not to sleep with strippers. It's all about moderation...
