Hey everyone,
First off, let me say that this is the by far the greatest gaming community I have ever been a part of. I have had lots of fun playing with the UT and CS folks over this past year. I have seen the community grow as we have added many new faces, and I have seen others fade away as they leave to do things other than gaming. I don't think anyone leaves the GC with anything but a positive experience.
That said, August 30th I will be leaving to study in Europe, and will not be returning until May 21st. I will be studying in London, England and Szeged, Hungary for a semester apiece, with plans to travel to Germany, The Netherlands, France, Ireland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Italy, Greece, and Israel and possibly other countries as well. During that time I will not have regular computer access, and will probably not be able to play games. I am also taking a position August 1st that will occupy most of my availible time until I leave. As such, I will not be renewing my membership with the GC this year. I will still post here on the forums and try and keep you informed of my travels (with pictures!).
Thanks so much guys, it's been a lot of fun. I would give a shout out to all of my "homiez", but there are too many of you to mention. (Except for Brillow, who needs a good "mentioning". Thanks for getting me to join, even though it cost a whole $25. It was worth every cent and more.)
Peace guys,
