My brother first introduced me to Civcraft about a year and a half ago. At the time, I was relatively new to Minecraft as a whole, so jumping into Civcraft only a few weeks after I had started playing Minecraft itself was a rather interesting experience.

I joined the 1.0 settlement of Bay City the first day on the server. As many of you know, Bay City is the direct predecessor to Bryn, with myself, PointYBagelS and FriedrichHayek being the only active remaining holdovers from the 1.0 to 2.0 transition.

I've never been one for long winded speeches, especially with the situation I find myself in currently. I apologize if it offends any of you that I've had personal conversations with, but my life circumstances have changed rapidly as of the last several days, and I don't find it necessary to give a honest explanation at this point.

To get down to the point, I'll be leaving Bryn (The city I named and hold a deep attachment to) for good. I do not see myself being an active player on this server at any point again. I'll be leaving the vast majority of my wealth (if not all of it) to Bryn itself. I will log on sometime this weekend to transfer the citadel groups that I own and tear down my home (But good luck doing anything underneath it because...Gerbic).

I have no certain request for what should be done with my donation. I just ask that it is used for the advancement of Bryn as a respected, powerful, Sandstone-infused, utopia for awesomeness.

I'd like to thank a few of you that have made my experience on Civcraft incredibly entertaining. I'm going to keep this list short and only active players so if I left you out, I'm sorry.

PointYBagelS- I'd like to thank you first for helping me restore Bryn to what it is today. I know there were others that helped, but let's be honest here, it was mostly the two of us that kicked Bryn back into life. By the way, I still remember helping you build the Bay City Iron Golem Gen, which was more or less me smoothing out land and planting the first rose after we tested its' operation. I wish you the best of luck in all you do. If I ever return, I am sandstone griefing the hell out of you.

JQBogus- It was rather awkward running into you once I made a return to Bryn when it was dead. I don't know how you do it, but I swear everytime I log on you've built more in five or six hours than I've managed in 13 some odd days on Civcraft. You have also helped Bryn out tremendously since coming here, and I'd like to thank you for it. You are literally a Minecraft Ant Colony.

FriedrichHayek- I'll admit we never got all too personal, but I just remember you always being in the thick of my Civcraft experience from Bay City to Bryn. I feel like I should have more to say here so I'll end with this: I wish you the best, MisesJr. Also, I regret not being able to snitchspam the shit out of PointY the other day.

Krictical_Kiwi- I'm sorry for assuming you were Male and from New Zealand when I first met you. I've greatly enjoyed talking with, pranking, creating a Pumpkin religion, and pretty much every thing else I've done with you on Civcraft. Me and PointY totally gave you special treatment when you showed up and fast-tracked all of your accesses and status within Bryn (One of the better decision we have made, I'd say). You are a fun person to be around, I wish you the best.

Unfortunately, my life and Civcraft are no longer compatible. Sometimes in our lives we realize that there are things we have to do that suck immensely, but come with a reward much greater than we expect. That is where I find myself today, at a great crossroads in my life. I am uncertain of where I am going or where I will be, I just know that I must drudge on. So it is with great reluctance but also great resolve that I say goodbye. I never knew that I could care about something like a Minecraft server or the people inside it so much, but I guess that is part of the magic of Civcraft.

For the final time, ArkenX
