I generally don't like to post in threads that aren't mine. It was different for Dead Heat which caused my return for retirement because I thought it a lot of fun, a step in the right direction, and another place where I could try and assist with the community, though even there I kept almost exclusively to my own thread until a few days ago. I historically quit the forums due to bullying; even when I was just posting in threads from people asking for advice, or in rules questions threads. Though even after retiring from the forums I maintained sending private messages to almost anyone who posted a thread about Gremlins just to help them out.
Sorry, anyway, the reason I'm posting here is because my name was mentioned, and it is indeed true I am quitting. But I have to assure people that it is not for the same reasons per se. While there exists some truth in the expressed views of Wyrd, and certainly some of these views contribute to why I committed a lot of time and effort in supporting the game and even why I was willing to put my legal career on hold in application to work for Wyrd to resolve some of the design issues, this post is not a fair representation of why I have had cause to leave; though I would mirror the expressions that I too love this game. I have enjoyed the fluff, the core mechanics, the tournaments, the friends I have made, supporting the community, the affections and kind words people can spread even amongst all the detritus, hubris and hate.
My leaving coinciding with Magicpockets and Calmdown's is largely coincidence, and from actions beyond my control. I do not feel it fair to discuss the reasons why I have had to make my decision to withdraw support for Wyrd, but I would at least like to assure some of the concerned voices that have approached me given how committed a supporter I had been prior, that there exists is no life problems or crises forcing my hand.
