Title: Leaving Layonara
Post by: Varka on February 24, 2008, 08:33:49 AM
Hello people

As the title says, I am leaving Layonara. The reasons. Well where to begin and end.  
One of the major reason are I have got a new job and it is awesome. It is what I have been dreaming about for so long and now I finally have it. I got the contract and 1. of March I will begin.
It will be great but I will have to work hard and I am willing to do so but that has consequences. I have therefore decided to stop playing Layonara (among other things).

I would like to thank everyone that I have played with the last few years, the team, GM and Leanthar. It has been great.

A special thank goes to Dezza who ran my cdqs and to Milton for helping me with the biography of Varka (see halls of Heroes).

And a special thank goes to the group attending on my last cdq.

I wish everyone in here the best and keep the RP high on Layonara. Layonara is about the RP and there is no other online game that can match it.  


Cheers,
Thomas

AWWWW. Man. *sigh* You better come back when things settle down..... or else I might just have to turn Varka into an NPC. ;) The Warlord ain't getting out of his duties that easily.

Sad to see you go, man, but you know that already. Thank you for the work you put into your characters and your RP and good luck on your plans and everything else.

You've left your mark on the world and Varka will be remembered. If one has to leave, at least leave with a 'BANG'. Varka did that. ;)

Congrats bud!
 
 Best of luck and I will miss the dwarf and skirt as well even if Toby will be glad he won't have to be blinded anymore when there is a sudden gust of wind!
 
 I hope you can make it back someday!

Take care and I hope to see you back when (and if) you can make it back. RL comes first and I am glad to see you have your priorities straight.

Congratulations Thomas.  It is hard to find, and then keep, that dream job.  It is always difficult to find something you actually like to do.  I hope you get out of it as much as you put in.

Durgen always enjoyed his adventures with Varka.  He will be missed.  Too bad our time zones were so different; I wished we would have had more opportunities.  Although I am still trying to catch up on my sleep from waking at 4AM on a Sunday morning to rebuild Bloody Gate.

My best to you.

Congratulations on achieving your dream job. They say that its not that opportunities don't present themselves, its what we do when it does. I wish you all the success and may it be all that you thought it would be. Good Luck!

As many others I am sad to see you have to withdraw but I hope we see you haunting the boards from time to time.  Congratulations on the job, too!  Its always good to have that kind of energy and excitement about you work.

I hope that some day you may return but have fun out there!

Buckle down and enjoy that job!  You added a lot to my enjoyment of Layonara and I'll look forward to hearing of your RL successes in the future.

Congratulations on the job and you will be surely missed by many including myself.
 
 Somehow unknown, I am glad Jacc and Varka had that last chat yesterday.
 The last parting memory is one he will treasure forever.
 
 Good luck out there and hopefully one day we will see you around again.

Dream jobs are few and far between, congratulations and good luck indeed!

You will be missed. Elladan's favourite Voraxian (!) made an impression that will endure.

Awesome jobs are great, man. Congratulations.

And don't think you won't find a way back. I said that I would be gone a lot, too. Layonara has a habit of finding it's way back into your weekly routine.

Going to miss having Varka about. Never had to sink a ship before by watching Varka punch another dwarf through the deck of it.

Glad to hear about the job and hope it turns out well. Take care.

Good luck with the new job. If your enthusiasm and sense of purpose combined with a sense of fun you always displayed with Varka is any guide, you'll do great!

I rarely had the enjoyment of playing alongside your PC's for a long time Varka. But it's sad to see you go and I'll miss those old days more because of it.

Good to hear you found the job you most desired. Pretty sure that's no common thing and I wish you the best of luck with that and all the other things.

Good luck with everything Varka. You may just find that you have a little time here or there to spend on the game once things get settled. That time is precious and unpredictable ;)

I hope to see you again when Varka returns.  It has been memorable.

Always sad when a veteran and long termer leaves anywhere, I never got to know you but I miss not having had the opportunity and wish you all the best for the future.

Post by: OldBear on February 25, 2008, 12:12:47 AM
Due to differances in schedules and time zones, I have not had the chance to rp with you very much.  Still Dalan will always consider you the Master Dwarf!  Good luck with your job.

It has both been an honour and a priviledge to work with you and to see the dwarven heroes flourish and bloom over the years!

Best of luck with everything!

Good luck with your job and your future, I will miss Varka, even though I did not have much chance to RP with him or you in the past months. Take care!

Post by: EventHorizon on February 25, 2008, 04:00:30 AM
Argh!! Who is going to be grumbling and doing a bad job at hiding recentment towards Alantha now?
Varka has been dispising Alantha with style ever since he laid eye on her in hlint all those years ago, or was that when we both got killed in the old broken? And Harg decided, Alantha wasn't really worth bothering with. ;)

Anyways, congratulations on the job, and best of luck with your new career!

*SIGH* Another old-timer bites the dust. That dream job should pay well also I would assume. Great! You can get yerself a kick-arse computer system and come back to see us. Promise to make ya a real nice new set of armor when ya get back-hee hee. Good luck Vark...

Goodbye Varka... I never really RP'd wiht you much but I have gone on a quest with you before and it was fun. Best of luck to you and congrats on the job!
