/nasfaqg/ ~ A retrospective
Since it appears the thread hasn't got much to talk about, and at risk of being accused of blogposting, I'll be sharing the abayo I should have posted in December last year. For all intents and purposes, I have quit the game already and haven't been paying any attention to it for months. I never made the usual abayo post in the thread, both because I value my status as a ghost and because I find it a tad circlejerky. Though, I hold part of the responsibility for the latter since I've never failed to wish farewell to those leaving. More than that, I think I thought that if only I waited a bit more, for a new reason to stay, that then I'd be able to return like nothing happened. Being completely honest, that possibility seems less likely with each passing day. In any case, I'm still here lurking, mostly for the people. Even if I'm no longer playing. I guess it's true you're here forever.
I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude for Menhera Anonymous a.k.a. the aggie a.k.a. mogu and his merry band of faggots. Never have I met a more friendly and open group in all the time I've been on the Internet. As someone with a pretty bad case of social anxiety the fact I was able to participate at all still amazes me. You guys (/nasfaqg/ as a whole, not solely the aggiecord) have helped me though a rough patch in life and kept up with my being a mentally ill retard, so for that I thank you. The people complaining about the aggie claiming it is a closed group with a "clique" mentality must have joined a different aggie, I imagine, since I find it hard to believe this group of people would act hostile towards newhags when I'm not around. And they certainly didn't when I was around.
Moving forward, I'd like to end my times as a hikki. This voluntary form of solitary confinement has started to take a toll on me and has become detrimental to my health, both physical and mental. And I would be lying if I said it has had no effect on my personal relations as well. As addictive as being a recluse can be, I can see how it eroded my friendships and I feel like it has been screwing my life over. I will try to go back and finish school, or at the very least get a job... but, regardless of what I end up doing, I will strive to spend less time sitting in front of the computer. Naturally, this means I might not come around here as often. I hope you can forgive me for that. Although, I suspect anyone determined enough to contact me will surely find a way, so that shouldn't prove to be a problem.
As much of a waste of time it has been, I don't regret my time playing this game. It was a lot of fun! But, like all good things, this too shall come to an end. Till we meet again, あばよ
