Ghosts of the Past

galen · #1 04-04-2002, 12:49 PM

There comes a time in everybody's life when change is desired. Such change comes in many forms. Whether it be moving to a new school, dumping your boy friend, quitting your job, or leaving Graal...Change is what keeps the human spirit alive. There are those of us who have devoted part of your lives to Graal, but some of those whom walk amongst us are growing too big for the nest. For these individuals, their time is short. Many of them rise through the ranks to become leaders in the eyes of their peers. These leaders strive to shape Graal for the better. As our leaders' time expires and they leave our community never to return, their memory is not all that is left behind but their deeds live on to mold future generations of Graalians for years to come. The greater the deeds, the longer the influence remains. I salute you, Ghosts of the Past.

Whoa... so true.... I love your use of words!

galen · #12 04-04-2002, 02:19 PM

For those of you who think that was a "veiled resignation" as Tyhm put it, you are mistaken. You all know me as a man of few words. But there are times when it is necessary one must become the speaker rather than the listener.

Heh, I doubted that it was; I figured you would let me know if you resigned..atleast I hope you would.

Go ahead. Credit goes to galen after all. I probably will upload a real signature (a picture) sooner or later here.

Very well said Galen, feelings I am sure are felt by many, but not everyone knows how to put it into words

Nice speech Galen.

Psyker · #22 04-05-2002, 04:22 AM

i'll see you later, galen.

thanks for restoring my level 3 glove in classic around a year ago when i accidentally dropped it.

Lyndzey · #23 04-05-2002, 05:35 AM

I feel that I might become a ghost of the past, like others have become before me.

I admit that I have moved up the ranks fast, I was staff about a year ago (FAQ Chief on 2001), and it has taken me a year to move up to GP Chief on Classic. Whether I do a good job or not, I doubt I will be remembered later on.

This is nothing at all! If someone wants to quit some online game, so be it! Do you people develop emotional bonds, besides Torankusu?

Juron Pilo · #26 04-05-2002, 01:39 PM

I'm the unknown ghost=D... all my work was done as part of cooperate efforts... or just plain still secret... yet I feel I've done my part for Graal

I'd gladly upgrade Antago's account, SSMutz's, and definitely GodSpeed's.... If was sure it wouldn't be deleted.
No, not with a fake credit card.

I'm upgrading all of my accounts with money orders this time around so none of my accounts get banned.

lordhelmut · #28 04-05-2002, 10:05 PM
