I'm quitting.

[HoudiniMan]

I'm sure there are a whole handful of people who are going to take credit for this, but it's for a few big reasons that aren't about one person's actions.

Firstly, I've been doing this for so long it's not fun anymore. It was very fun working my way to the top, and hoping to change Graal for the better. However, I hit a glass ceiling, and the people in charge never talk to me. So, there goes changing the world.

Secondly, recently my personal information got leaked out... you'd think it was the Graal lottery. Everybody has disagreements with other staff when they work on a project, and sometimes I'm a ****, but the malice displayed by the community towards me after the leak told me it was time to go.

I'd like to think I've done some good things on Graal, and I know Graal has taught me a lot about working with people, and running teams. Those are skills I can take with me in life, even if gscript isn't a super resume builder.

Hopefully you all find the spirit again, that so many of the oldest players feel we've lost on our way, and you take a personal stake in making Graal better for everyone.

A special thanks goes to everybody who played with me and created the world we played on at N-Pulse, Doomsday, Delteria, and Graal2001. If any of you are left, say hello.

I'll check this thread now and again for people who want to stay in contact.

It's been interesting,

Garrett

2081st day, 5 years and counting! Cya.

[Matt]

A job very well done as the Playerworld Administrator for 2081 days. Won't be easy replacing you i'm sure. I will see you around, and maybe chat

[Crono]

Bye, it's been a long run for you.

[Sky]

Cya, you've done well in my opinion.

[LordSquirt]

They all come and go.. Good luck to you in the future

[Codein]

Ciao man. You'll be missed

[Tigairius]

I wish you could have made it to that six year mark coming up in a few months before you left.
I've already said this to you, but you know I hate to see you go. You've been here for a long time and it's unfortunate to see a friend of mine leaving.

[Dan]

Cya HoudiniMan.

Maybe offer your help? Lmao.

[pooper200000]

I've spoken to you privately. I admire your dedication up until the end to do your job and do it well. I hope good things things come in your life, as good things come to those who work. I appreciate your continued service while being a PWA and hope that should the opportunity arise with your problems becoming resolved, that you could return.

[Vman13x]

cya man hope your future is good,sad to see you leave,you will be missed

[xXziroXx]

Bye Houdini, while I did talk to your briefly from time to time I never got to know you, which I personally feel is a shame. Good luck in whatever the future may have in store for you, and thank you for doing what you have the past five and a half years.

Houdini,

I don't know you very well, but we had very similar opinion on fixing Era.
You've done well, and I will never forget your persistence on making Era a better place.

Always a pleasure,
Gabriel Kuraiittou

[DazJenova]

I'm ashamed that someone would leak your personal info on graal, that's pathetic of them and i hope they get what they deserve. Houdini i've always respected you and you've done a hell of a job for 5years hopefully you reconsider resigning at some point because you will be missed.

[Rufus]

Yeah, only because the PWA team will turn into a team of yes men, and the horrible progression will continue.

[death_striker]

I would like to Congradulate you on all of your achievments on Graal, you where my favourite PWA. All of Graal is going to miss you and I personaly would like to say good luck to you in the future

[Angel_Light]

Thanks for your help always. I'll erect a giant monument of you in my front yard made of butter. <3

Peace.

[Pimmeh]

Houdiniman,

Although we have never spoken, I remember you from Doomsday when I believe you had a house up in Eldaran, and you were staff one way or another (can't remember position, was what, six, 5 years ago?) I still recall seeing you walking around the best, for some reason.

I know that you were valuable to the community, and that some jerks decided to not care, well... I blame their parents for not raising them the way they should (Get a life, *******s!).

All I know is that you were a part of my classic graal experience (before DD went down, that was my classic graal, the rest is just a wave of crappy dev servers that I worked on) and that I will miss seeing your name pop up now and then. Since you are really a part of graal, I cant imagine you not around.

Have fun in what ever other game you are doing, and see you next week.

Pim

[shrimps]

Good luck in life man.

[Darlene159]

It's embarrassing and a real shame when people show so little respect for Graal staff.
This is why quite a few good people have left high positions.
You dont have to like someone to show respect for the work they do, or try to do.

Bye Houdiniman

[Exile_P2P]

What a shame, one of the PWAs I actually liked.

Sad to see you go.

Good luck in whatever you do.


So what do you guys say? Huh Exile for the next Chief PWA?

[CharlieM]

Seeya Houdini, I might not have agreed with some of your decisions but I still thought you did a good job. It's too bad that some people had to be immature

[Switch]

Bye Houdini. Too bad some *******s had to do what they did.

[xJenn]

Hey Houdini...
I didn't mean it to end like this, I wanted to say one last time, that it wasn't me who did it.
It's sad to see you go, I mean, we had times were we talked and had fun... Well I did at least, when we enjoyed our talking time with you and Paul on the mic, like how you found enjoyment on chewing on the mic ><;;. But other times were not so good.. I'm sorry x_o;;

I know you'll probably end up getting this deleted .. o_o or reply with swear words or something but eh... I just want you to really understand, and plus, my thoughts on you aren't all that bad~ D: hope yah come on to drop by once in a while~

-Kimmy

[Spikedude]

I know you feel unappreciated on Graal, but that's the way things are. You're the fearless one who isn't afraid of making the wrong choice, and that puts you in some tough places sometimes. Understandable.
I'll miss you, I hope someday you'll come back. Good luck on searching for yourself, maybe someday you'll end up back here.
"You say you wanted a solution, you just wanted to be missed."

Cya, and come back someday.
-Amsel

[Deophite18]

Adios Houdini. You were a nice guy and you did your job well. Sad to see you go man

[Twinny]

Seeya Houd

Add my AIM

[Ravenblade1979]

it is sad to see you go. You were quite an asset to graal. I really hope you reverse this decision and stay. I know there are idiots on graal but you can't let them get to you.

Otherwise it is a sad day indeed.

Bye and Arigato for all your wonderful work.

[Seich]

I never met you, but I want to give you my best wishes, good luck on whatever you do, thanks for helping out the graal community for so long.

[Clockwork]

Step 3 in the graal's death has been completed...

Will miss you houdini! :O

[BigBear3]

Peace.

[Crow]

I will keep it short and simple, and just quote what I already said yesterday:

I would like to wish you the best of luck with everything you will do from now on. Stay healthy, have an enjoyable life.

Goodbye *waves*

[Cloven]

I wish you the best man. It's been nice associating with you for 6+ years now.

Keep in touch via AIM my friend.

[Deas_Voice]

i never knew you, but you have my respect, like all the Graal Staffs.
sad to see you go,
good bye houdini, have a great life!

[Soala]

Bye

You were one of the best PWA's ever, I'll miss your global msgs on RC (awh ='] )
Wish you the best for life.

Add my msn =)

[Ronnie]

Good luck in whatever life throws at you and thanks for pushing the Spryte/Malinko problem on un, like a year and a half ago I never got to thank you personally !

[Obs311]

I may have talked to you once, and did not know much about you, but you did keep things in order.

Enjoy the rest of your life, HoudiniMan.
