Garnon is no more.
Garnon went quietly, on a lonely trip back to his clan, on Day of the Great Gods, Sun 12th, 1420 T.A. wearing only his symbol. He disappeared on the Zhang mountains.
May the Gods keep him, and make his final days with his clansmen and his children long and enjoyable.
He was created to bring back a group of players who had long retired SK, and play together for fun. I succeeded in that, and it was a good ride.
Some people liked Garnon, others hated him, each is entitled to his own views. I personally loved every bit of him.
His accomplishments were many, and those who need to know them do. I will spare you the boasting and long history.
Garnon lived a good, full life, set his own rules and followed them. I personally consider him much more honorable than many characters "of honor".
He was a strong enemy, he was a loyal ally. He lived, ruled, had fun and did everything his own way. And he succeeded.
Losing the HRO (probably due to inactivity because of my job) cost him the extra 12 years I was planning to keep him
Oh well, cue sera sera. I bid you all a very very fond farewell.
I am uncertain if I will make anything else anytime soon, since I will probably be deploying again for 2-3 months by mid January.
Only thing I regret yet understand, is that every time I went out for work, I knew I'd lose my eq, coin, flags... I felt as if the anti-hoarding system was penalizing me every single time. I know it's needed and it works, but personally for me it sucked
It's mostly what could prevent me from re-rolling.I would like to thank his (my) friends, and they were plenty in Garnon's full life. I will not go in specific names since I don't want to forget any. If you were a friend to Garnon, you know who you are and what you meant to him. You know what place in his heart you held.
I'd also like to thank Garnon's enemies for making his life interesting
Well done and hat's off to you all. Finally, I'd like to thank the staff, who might screw up on occasion (since in RL they're only human), but I had no such incidents on Garnon. They've been very helpful.
For those of you who love stats, here goes:
Code:
[Gia Brb][RAG][HRQ][TLN][PAR] Garnon, Retired Shogun, Splitbane Clan
The giant towers well above the average for his kin. His neck resembles
a tree trunk, massive and well build, resting upon wide shoulders. His
hands seem to be equally massive in both volume and definition. A wide
well-build chest protrudes, evidence of years of labor work or other similar
excersise. The rest of his body appears in a similar fashion, clearly of a
person who's not a stranger to hardship and pain. His white hair are long,
forming a pony-tail that hangs idly between his shoulderblades. A thick
white beard and moustache complete the well formed jawline, while his tired
gray eyes seem to constantly be peering about in what could be considered a
state of alertness. Myriad wrinkles have made their way around his face,
cruel evidence betraying a long long life. His very late age is also
apparent by the deathly white color on his skin.
Overall, you are in excellent condition.
