Linking to a related thread, so it doesn't get lost(regarding Dusk Eclipse)
I may vanish for awhile.
Having some emotional/mental issues lately that are causing me trouble.:smallfrown:
This isn't exactly a farewell, but yeah, the life's pace is requiring my attention.
I'm not going to leave the playground and most of all I'm not going to stop reading OotS... but certainly my presence here (as poster) will be less frequent, or (more precisely) less constant. :smallfrown:
In the end, it's more a "see you around". :smallsmile:
good bye and good luck :D
cya take care!
I leave this week on a 2-year assignment as a missionary in another country. I won't have Internet access on my mission, so this is my goodbye for now.
I've enjoyed being a part of this excellent forum and its amazing community over the past few years. It has been a great place to discuss ideas, and find others who share my interests. I can't wait to binge-read a ton of new Order of the Stick pages when I get back.
Thanks for everything,
Sam113097
goodbye, but still can't figure out why are you doing it
I'm really not sure if folks here would be sad to see me go or not. Maybe they'd just be thankful that I'm no longer polluting the threads with my presence, or more likely not really care much one way or the other.
The short of it is that I think I need a break from online communities in general. My grandfather's had a heart attack and his heart's just not strong enough for surgery. We're not sure how long he's got and we're all sort of taking time to say our goodbyes.
I'll probably be back eventually though. As soon as I'm capable of being sociable again.
Be well The Fury.
I wish your grandfather and your family strength.

somewhat dimwitted, but faithful and kind.
Never complained about anything, until the end

I may be gone for a while, depending on how my life goes.
Due to some questionably legal fees the apartment put on the rent, I may be homeless in a few days.
edit: Turns out any fees would've been the apartments scamming us according to lawyers we've talked to. We need to be out by Monday.
RL has rolled a natural 20 on it's Strength check to drag me away from the forums.
This is a great place, and my sincerest apologies to everyone who my departure inconveniences.
Spare me a thought when you make a terrible pun, and I shall be sufficiently remembered.
The experienced carpenter really nailed it, but the new guy screwed everything up.
My wife has fallen ill recently, and she's going to be in the hospital for quite some time. Needless to say, I'm going to be taking a leave for a while. I'm not sure when I'll be back, but for now I am just going to be at her side, helping her.
Sorry to everyone that I am playing with, please continue on without me, and I hope the game continues on with lots of fun for everyone.
I know this is 5 or so months after you asked this question, but I believe I can answer for Sam113097...sort-of.
With Wikipedia as a source: it appears Sam is a LDS Missionary, which is typically 18 months to 2 years, frequently in foreign countries, (see Wikipedia article) who voluntarily "engage variously in proselytizing, church service, humanitarian aid, and community service" and are generally "not permitted to [...] use the Internet (except to use email, and social media for their work)[1].
So...well, that doesn't answer where, but I believe it answers your question.
Thanks to a nasty infection(either ear, tooth, or jaw... hopefully not the last one) I may be gone a while/pop in infrequently. I'm on antibiotics now and while it's helping I'm also... exhausted beyond belief, and still having some pain issues. Once this clears up, I'll hopefully have enough energy.... but in the meantime I'm spending a lot of time resting(at least my dog is cuddly:smallsmile:).
I'm out. When people on these boards could start suggesting transfolk deserve to be killed and have people agree with them (or odiously try to find a "reasonable compromise"), I don't know, but a notice to that effect would have been appreciated.
I'll miss ya. You started my favorite thread of all time, and I always appreciate reading your comments. And I'm glad you are maybe staying a bit longer at least. But, if you decide you do want to leave, I don't think you are obligated to stay here just for our sake.
I really need to focus on school, so I'm gonna have to be gone for a while. But I'll still pop in from time to time.
I am sick of this site's openly biased policies, where threads openly pushing real-world political positions are abundant in "Friendly Banter", discussion of real-world religion is abundant in the response threads to the OoTS comics, and yet people are given infractions for doing far, FAR less than that based on what I can only conclude is either moderator bias or disproportionate flagging. Either way, it has the same effect.
I'm taking a break from the forums, at the very least.
I can't do this anymore. Every bloody thread I open lately gets political but somehow it passes under the radar without any discernible reaction from mods. Definitely time for a break from the playground.
Right, so the hurricane I'm in is getting kind of worse. I'm going to take a break from giantitp for about two days, maybe more. I will be back though!
well ...goodbye, but still ...um never mind
I only started reading OOtS about 3 months ago, but I'm leaving for a really long holiday, and won't be able to log on. Until next time everyone :smile:
I think I got to all the places I'm in right now, but in case I didn't here's the long and short of it. I recently had a very personal loss, and I don't think I can post until I'm over it. I don't know how long that will be. It could be a few days or weeks, I don't know.
