    kadagar left?

    Yes my avatar brother (have i ever told you that i sometimes begin reading your posts as if they my own because of the avatar ?) he recieved an infraction and was most displeased.... all the drama's in the backroom watchtower... almost as good as an episode of corrie...

    I do second the motion for more drama and slamming doors!

    At least that way there was something there... some hatred.... some love... some passion...

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    The backroom is like crack - you become addicted and when you get all strung out on it, you promise yourself to leave and never come back.

    But like any addict you become drawn to the flame of your demise and you often return, unless of course you do like a few and leave the org completely.

    You got to go cold turkey or you find yourself drawn back to your addiction
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    Not at all - I have never proclaim that I was leaving the org or the backroom. But I have watched many make such a claim and continue to return if they remain member.

    A few have successful removed themselves from their addiction to the backroom, but not me, I just have slowed down my addiction to a few drafts compared to my previous addiction.

    He speaks the creepy pathetic truth. You will be back!

    The only ones who leave are those that do so without even a whimper.

    I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that I wont be leaving the backroom just yet.

    Thankyou for your attention.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    I just went back and read the watchtower thread – He was here for 5 years and only had 472 posts? He did add some spice for a bit, oh well, I would say my lesson is: Don’t forget about all the other fun areas at the .org, including the watchtower

    I don’t confuse our posts very often (yours usually make more sense) I have the big avatars turned on so I always see your dude with the antlers above your game avatar. I choose it because it is the image that represents the Nodachi in STW, one of my favorite units, but so negative with the “No”, everyone says “No”; I’ll say “Yes” and thus was born the Yesdachi! the positive samurai. Any particular reason you chose it? My Avatar brother from another mother.
