Mage - Signing Off

[FML|Mage]

Hey all,

As I'm sure you've noticed I really haven't been active for Season 21 at all, and unfortunately that's a trend that is going to continue as real life has become chaotic and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.  Okay, let's be honest it's just work causing the problem, however after consulting my bank account I have confirmed that I am not in fact able to retire right now.  Since that option has been taken off the board, I'm afraid it means that my time in WC3 has come to end.

While I would love to say that this is just a temporary hiatus, doing so would just be lying to myself.  Going forward I realize that I'm not going to have any time for WC3 or video games in general which is why I wanted to let everyone know that I'll be retiring from my role on the FML team.  I never thought that an online community for a video game could grow to mean so much to me, however this small little community has led me to meet a lot of great people, both online and in real life.  I really do believe WC3 is a special game, and it will always continue to hold a nostalgic place in my heart.

I do plan to do one last cast in the upcoming weeks (most likely over the Thanksgiving break in the US) before turning that all over to someone else.  I'll keep everyone posted on when I plan to do that.

Thank you to everyone who has made this such a special ride, I can't tell you all how much I've enjoyed my time both playing in FML, and then being an admin for it.  It's truly a special community, and everyone who plays in it is what makes it such a great group.  I think this season has proven that FML continues to be in great hands, and I look forward to watching it play out going forward.

Good luck in your future endeavors Mage, thx for putting your time and effort into this community. 

Let me know when you want to cast something, I'd love to do one final one with you since we never really got the chance. 

As a tribute, we should collect all of the youtube videos you did and archive them!

Wish you well Mage, thanks for all you did in the FFA scene.

Thx for everything Mage, you were one of the main reasons why I found this community and your contribution has been great.

Can't you guys reach out the old schoolers (yane, htrt, wreck etc) and create one last game that you and mog cast? Seksi,you should play that one

Come up with suggestions of a real dream team matchup!
