All,
I've been a part of this community for a pretty long time - playing BL since late 2009. I decided to make this thread not to seek attention, but rather to let you all know that I love you guys. I've played servers with most of you every day and have come to know a lot of you on a pseudo-personal level. Plenty of you are great players and a positive part of the community, while a lot of you aren't...but it's okay because I know you mean well. Between the endless visits to Heed's TDMs or hosting City stuffty RPs back when I had a capable connection, I've enjoyed every minute of it. This game and its community has largely defined my online-life for the past three years and I am grateful for having had the opportunity. Good friends like Surburb, Swat725, Tezuni (regardless of all the drama which surrounds him; leave that crap out of this thread), and others have contributed to a positive experience with Blockland, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Only a few of those I named know what I do for a living. I am a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army and I will be deploying for Afghanistan tomorrow to fly UH-60s in support of the ground mission. It will be a nine month tour and I am uncertain as to what type of internet situation to expect, if I get it at all. While I am nervous about to obstacles I am sure to face, I am happy and eager at the opportunity to finally exercise all that I have trained for.
I will miss BL while I am gone and spending endless hours surfing servers. I may get the chance to get online now and then, but nothing like the free-time I have state-side. You guys are awesome and I awaiting logging back online circa May of 2013.
Peace, fellas. Nooblet 2.0 out.
