  • A farewell to EyesOfNight

    2 years ago I came here to Apolyton and posted my first post. Since then I have posted many many more and have enjoyed every one of them. From my "Who is the biggest ****ing moron" poll to all the threads on my cheating, all were incredibly amusing to me and many others. I'd like to begin by giving special thanks to some special people over the years.

    Kaak, you have been the only true friend I have had on here. I've known you from nearly the first day I started playing on here and I still remember the days when you used to kick my ass. All the other people on here have been nothing more than acquaintances. You know my philosophy and you know why I call only you a friend.

    Markus, even though I have never talked to you in real life before (which is the only way I will ever consider someone a friend on here), I consider you as close to a friend as any. You are one of the few people I don't consider a geek on here, and I look forward to playing civ3 with you.

    Strategicking, for the past 2 years I have done nothing but belittle you and make fun of you. Some of our posts have been great entertainment for myself and others. Without you I'd probably still be a prince right now. You and I helped to keep Gameleague alive as it began to sputter towards the end. Without you I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the last year of civ for gameleague would surely have died much sooner. I hope we can maybe play on the same side when civ3 comes out.

    Woke23, I have known you from nearly my first game ever played online. Second to be the exact. There was a time too when you used to beat me and in some ways I miss the days when I too was a newbie to MP. Things may not have worked out for you on civfanatics, but you helped to keep the spark alive in civ2's final days. I look forward to playing civ 3 with you as well.

    Cavebear, I've had some very interesting conversations with you towards the end. Some of them I wasn't always honest on because I didn't want to completely give away the act. I also want to thank you for helping me with my term paper, it was greatly appreciated.

    I would also like to take a moment to remember the members of the first Divine Tribe roster. Carnide, Jhorsburgh, Kaak, EyesOfNight, MagLogic, and John Barbarossa. We were the first tribe, and some of our games were the best I ever had and I will remember that.

    Thanks to all those who were mentioned, the past 2 years have been great.

    Well, you're probably wondering why I'm coming on here doing this. The truth is, as probably most of you have guessed, this has all been an act. When I first came here back 2 years ago I was still a nobody, overshadowed by kaak and John Barbarossa. Well, I just couldn't stand for that. hehehe I rightly deserved a chance in the spotlight, and I got it. Maybe not with the greatest reputation in town, but I really enjoyed playing the evil genius bent on total domination of the civworld. I have had many schemes among which I even schemed to destroy Apolyton through Thunderfall and his site civfanatics. It really was a great plan, maybe I'll tell it to you some day. hehehe The others you know about, the cheating, destroying tribes, just being evil. All were nothing more than big practical jokes for my own amusement and I think I can go so far as to say for everyone else's amusement. But as I told Ming, I can no longer do what I do on here. It is one thing to play a computer game (hard to believe but this is actually really the only computer game I've played on a regular basis besides AOE which lasted about 2 months), and it is another thing to post and act the way I do on here. I honestly am afraid of what might happen if someone found out what I do on here, it's really not normal. In real life I am not even close to what I am on here. And I can safely say that it would come as a real shocker if people found out how I act, let alone if they found out that I even play a computer game. So in light of all said, I think it is time to kill the act. I am going to assume a new name and begin to divulge many of the strategies I know of on the strategy forum. As for frivolous pursuits of amusement, those days are at an end. For those of you I pissed off over the years, I'm not sorry. If you take this game seriously enough to get mad, then you need to get a life.

    So, to sum it all up, it's been fun, but all things come to an end and these are the final words in the book.

    THE END

    *Takes a bow*

    There will be no encore performance.

      Civ ****** no longer has a "special friend" to debate the issues of our day with.

        Will the true Eyes of Night please step forward and take a bow.
        With each death, there is always a rebirth. That will happen in about 44 days.
        And dont think for 1 minute, that I did not enjoy the battle of wits and posts and counter responses.
        Every player in any sport or game needs an arch nemesis.
        I pity everyonelse because they can never come close to having you lurking in the foreground. I would not be anywhere near the SUPER CIV GENIUS (sorry for old times sake) without you.
        We will fight for civ 3 dominance soon.(And to see who has the bigger ego at that game and can come up with the coolest strategies and tricks)
        Till Then, prepare to bring your A-Game.

              so no more terrorizing the newbies huh?

              Well don't worry eyes, there's more than enough jackasses (like strategicking, although he probably won't do you justice) to take your position as the civ worlds "black sheep"

                  Huh ?.... yeah , you bet.

                  If you are nice enough, I may invite you & some others to test drive Civ3 with me .. a month or so after it comes out. Of course... then again I might be too much of a "newbie" for you.

                  P.S. Wonder if he is taking part in the beta test of Civ3 .

                    Well Eye's... you will really be missed. Amusement brings us to these boards, and you certainly provide it

                    Yet on the other hand, your insights on CivIII should provide far more to the community in the long run. So I look forward to your return in another life
                    Keep on Civin'
                    RIP rah, Tony Bogey & Baron O

                          Too touching... Yes, the act is often more fun than the game itself, and it's a pity that few know what it is. It can only get better with the massive audience civ3 brings about.

                          You've been a lot of fun, good luck.
