Thank you for all the wonderful years
« on: November 17, 2008, 03:50 PM »
Dear Jedi Order members, ex-members, and friends,

It is with a surprisingly peaceful heart, that I announce my resignation from the Council of the Jedi Order, and bid the all farewell.

For years I have been entrusted by you to help lead this glorious clan, and I have done as best as I could with the good of *<JO>* in mind.

I’ve been through a lot personally through these years and quite often when I needed strength you were there for me.

The Order now moves in a direction that is new to all, and while it may be a little rough at first, you do have great members leading you into the new era. They love this clan as much as I do, and will do what they feel is best to keep the Order strong.

After years of work, I believe I have earned my peace and pass on the torch to the younger Councillors to carry the burden as it was once passed on to me by the great Masters before me.

There have been so many members that I can’t possibly say something about each and every one of them, but there are some that I always promised myself I would mention when I resigned:

Master Aoshi – I forgive you and thank you for all you did for me as your Padawan. You chose a path I could not follow you in and to this day it has hurt me. Master Menelaos Iucundus was who he was because of you and for that, I thank you.

Master PannTher – There will never be a more dedicated member who loves this clan more than you. Not only were you the greatest Councillor this clan ever had, you were an incredibly good friend and I hope to one day meet you and shake your hand for all you did for me when I needed the support.

Master Shin Tetsu – My pride and joy Padawan. You were my first and best accomplishment here. I am proud of you Shin, and despite your hick-up, I will always smile when I think of you and what you became.

Master Kaeawc – You lied to me, and even worse to the Order. I do not forgive easily, but I have never been happier to have given someone a second chance as I am that we gave you one. I thank you for proving that decision to be the best made as a collective Council. Your endless work and dedication are second to none.

Masters Mert and Cosmo – We once made a pact that we would never leave the Order and I wish I could keep it, but times have changed and the clan has evolved past me. You will both have my friendship forever, that part I do intend on sticking to.

Master Rink – I still remember the heat I took for putting you in the Council, and boy are you the biggest “I told you so” for me ever. I am honoured to have served in the Council with you Rink.

Master Lei – Not much to say but I love you buddy! For years you were with us and one hell of a member! Countless hours of training members and making sure we had fun. Te deseo lo mejor con Ronica!

Masters Alpha and Ekul -  You kids have good hearts, and I trust you will do what is best for the Order moving forward. Remember that those before you did their best and now it is your turn until you can pass it on to others. The torch is passed on at one point or another.

Master Xodus and Bin – Amongst the finest members the Jedi Order ever had. You smelly Wookies made the Order proud with you skins, graphics, and duelling ability.

Masters Alkorda, Kinem, Axem, Ewie, DarcWolf and Jc – Thank you for your friendship and support throughout the years. We were lucky to have such great allies and we value your friendships far more than we ever let out.

To the rest of the members, stay strong, stay loyal and always remember that the decisions made are for the better of the Order as a whole.

I thank you all for the many years of support and friendship.

LONG LIVE THE JEDI ORDER

May The Force Be With You Aways

Regards,
Councillor Menelaos Iucundus

Thank you for your kind words. Thank you for being our Master for so long. Thank you for everything you have ever done for the order. Thank you are 2 words all I can think about. I, we, the Jedi Order thanks you.

Long Live JO!

Respect towards you! Everyone will have to go one day. This is your day. You are one of the greatest persons I have ever met inside a game. I thank you for backing me up, I thank you for all.

THANK YOU, Master Menelaos!

LONG LIVE JO!!

ps: we'll stay in contact via msn.

Master Menelaos you've been more than a fellow Councillor throughout my service and I doubt that it'll change. I'm sure you have some vague idea of how appreciative this clan was, is and will be for what you've sacrificed for it.. I recall that some times in the distant past we didn't see eye to eye, but we can both safely say that that's because I was growing fluff on my face and my jewels were sinking down the ocean of puberty. Thank you for tolerating me, as I'm sure I must have been/still am a pain in the rear.

Like Master Xzar said, everyone has their time. You've had countless ones of them, but maybe this one will be the last and now you can eternally slumber just like you always wanted.

You know what's funny though? I don't think I saw you RP, not even once! It shows that you were with us for other reasons other than RP. Sure, you always said that you were here because it was a family etc, but actions speak louder than words. As we can all safely assume, your actions proved a lot.

Thanks Mene, for everything.

This isn't a goodbye. If anything, it's a "see you later", but we both know that once a JO always a JO, and you'll still be around us for quite a while, even if it's not as a member.

Long live JO

I was shocked earlier when you told me on msn that you resigned.  It is too bad that you are stepping down from JO, but if that is the direction you need, then it is needed.



As Achmed the Dead Terrorist once said, " Saddam's Mustard Gas is nothing compared to a Walter fart!!!  It kills!!" and "SILENCE, I kill you!!!"    :D

As for me, you will be missed in JO, and may a Walter fart infest your nostrils for a thousand years!!!

I'd post something meaningful if you had mentioned me, oh well...

I guess I could pull out a Mene quote right now like "Don't let the door hit you on the way out" but that wouldn't be appropriate now would it?

Nah, Mene is going to be like the bad Ex Girlfriend.
"It's Over I'm leaving you, but don't Expect me to move out of your apartment."

Yeah, you're still going to be around, but i want my T-Shirts back.

Farewell Master Menelaos, through all this all in all you were a good Master and did massive amounts for the Order for that I want to thank you. I'm sure you'll still be around ready to give advice if and when needed. :)

So this is really it. I always thought it would end like when we started. Together and leaving a legacy. But then again, you always had a head start ;).

You were always there for me, even when I gave you some rough times. We almost never agreed on anything, because we the are the most stubborn people around here. But then again, we were always there for each other. It was pleasant to know that there was always someone to have your back.

We talked about leaving, and leaving together. Making a story about the both of us. But like I said, you already made your name here. I still have some unfinished business to attend to. But there will never be a second Mene for me. Your friendship has helped me through some bad times, in RL and ingame. For that, I thank you with all my heart.

Like Alphonzo said, this isn't a goodbye, this is more of a see you later. I'll even buy StarCraft or Diablo to play with you again.

For the last time, I salute you as fellow Jedi. It has been an honor working at your side, my Master.

My best wishes and I'll always be here for you.

- Shin.

Master, It hurts me to see you leave this wonderful clan/community. You were among one of the wisest members that JO ever had, one of the most dedicated if not the most dedicated that helped this clan rebuild after countless of ups and downs. You were here for the Jedi Order, I give you my thank for that.
I hope you still be hanging around here, and that I can have more wonderful chats with you. You really helped me when I needed someone with some brains to talk to.. I love you, and I wish you lots of luck in your future my dear friend.

But I dislike the fact that you haven't wrote something about me.. :( Haha no, but it would of been nice =]

I was thinking about that to ..  ;D

Well Master, I hope this is not your final goodbye. Goodluck to whatever brings you in life.

Lots of Love,

Angel.
