I originally going to post this on TPF forums only, however I felt that I have too many friends outside TPF not to post.

First and foremost the "A Confession Thread" was obviously ment as a joke, Folger was contacted before hand and we thought it would bring some laughs to some people.

Second is too say goodbye to everyone. My health has deteriorated to the point where I am unable to play and be happy doing it. A lot of that is the way I play, which is something I can't change about myself, it's been with me too long.

I'd like to give some special personal acknowledgements

To all of TPF, you have been a family to me when I needed it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Burning Glory, for his unending loyalty to his people. No Leader of any AA has cared more for each and every member of his alliance than BG does.
The Wizard of Oz, for always believing in me
ClashPoint for being one of my best friend in and out of game
dogbite, for pushing so hard for me, time and time again
Bionic Redhead, for never giving up or giving in
Folger for being the best drinking buddy ever
JonBoy16 for being my first TPF hero
Tibs for being both good friend and evil villian in game, and for being a good friend out of it
Lonewolfe for being Tibs twin ( or is that vice versa )
Thaisport for Life, The Universe, and Everything, and for debating constantly with me from everything with physics to philosophy
Emperor Stranger, for both teaching and learning. OOC we never hated each other, and at the end I think a friendship of sort's developed between us
Cameron of Lochiel, for never giving an inch
Mark Reynolds, though quiet about much, listen to this man and you will hear truth

and many many more, if I missed your name I'm sorry

This isn't a joke, I'd like people to respond to not think it is, I will continue to be active this round only enough to keep myself from being deleted so that I do not harm my trade partners.

I'd like to be remembered as an odd person who liked to shake things up, and who succeeded as often as he failed.

If anything else CN and especially TPF that has been my home.

If I have offended anyone in the past I ask you to forgive me, I will not claim it was unintentional in some cases, but now it's over, so I apologize

I think everyone knows by now how when I am in need of words to say I use a song.

I'd like to say my final goodbye with this one

Goodbye Cybernations, I'll miss you.

You will always be my friend, wherever you go and whatever you do.
o/ Gabryal

Gab you are one TE player I would never mess with, I will miss talking to you. Good luck in the future.

o/ Gabryal

hope you get better mate.

Gabryal,

With our similar history, I immediately had a bond with you from the start. Your hope, determination, and efforts with, and for, TPF will never be forgotten. You have a servant’s heart, and high principal to lead and lecture; I’m confident of further success and happiness in your future. I’ve enjoyed every beer we’ve shared, and every chronicle and experience that we’ve divulged. You are a good man, and those of us lucky enough to have met you will NOT forget you.

Cheers!

o/ Gabryal

[ooc]get yourself better dude[/ooc]

ic: good riddance.

I disapprove of this post.

But only because I hate to see Gabryal go. Still, I understand why.

Heal my friend.

Heal!

Farewell, Gabs. We'll miss you around here.

You get well soon, ya hear?

o/ Gab!

i hope you get well better!

Now I really need to make a new enemy.. Hisk!

Later, Gabs. I will always keep in mind what you said about fooling the police dogs.

awww, you for got me. Im hurt

That's a lie; I give in all the time. Usually to my urge to headbutt stupid people.

Anyway, get well soon.

when i think back to all the times i've spoken to you, i can't remember any so bye gabs!

Goodbye Gabs. You were a very dynamic player, and will be missed. I am so very sorry to hear about your health situation. I hope that things improve for you in the future. I wish you all the best.

I hope you get better Gabs. It's been a pleasure talking with you.

Take care, friend.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo. u cant leave us. sorry to see you go. can u please me anyother mode of contact? send me an ingame PM. i dont wanna loose contact with a guy like you. CN will always miss you/.

Keep a clear mind, stay positive, relax and you'll be just fine.

You're a very dynamic player with a great mind for strategy in this game. You'll be missed.

Thaisport

We'll miss you Gab.

Hope you get better. Who will visit RnR now

I surely miss you Gab. I will pray for your health. Btw, thanks for helping me with things you know
~HiddenShadow~

Oh shoot. I really hope you didn't have to go - I wish that we could've gotten to known each other better, you seemed pretty cool. I hope that you feel better, I know how RL can be stressful and tough, and leaving isn't a bad idea. In the words of my friend Pax Me "remember that it is not "until we meet again" but "i'll see you tomorrow"."

get well soon mkay?

Idk you but i wish you and your family the best of luck...Get better and i hope to see you again one day...Until then god bless...

Take care of yourself, Gabs. Don't ever stop fighting. There is no greater power than the human will.

[ooc]Gabs, I'll talk to you later on IRC or PM, but I'll make this my 'official goodbye.'

There are few people I actually look forward to talking to within TE, and you are right there among the top of that list. I've greatly enjoyed getting to know you as a person over these past few rounds and learning about how great of a person you are. I admire you, sir! Not because of stuff in game, but because of the sacrifices you've made on a far greater level than what most people in this game could understand. You're a hero to me and an asset to your country. It may sound cliche, but this world truly is a better place because of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you! [/ooc]

o/ Gabby

**edited for grammar**

Gabs its really sad to see you go. When I first started playing TE it was obvious to me how much you were respected. As someone up the post river said never give up, and get better soon!

It'll be hard to forget our talks on IRC

Gabs, For the 80 or so days I have known you, which wasn't nearly enough time , I know you care for everyone in TPF regardless of how long they are in it, and you care about everyone in general. It is not going to be the same without you . I know 3 things: you will get better , you served your country bravely, and it is an honor to to be able to quote your posts . You know we will be here waiting for your return and hope you return soon we will.

i've sent you a pm and a number of forum posts regarding you leaving so you should know wat i have to say by now Gab

but in all seriousness man, get well soon and try not to stress yourself out. take up a new hobby like chess/model making/etc. to keep you busy and keep your mind sharp so you don't go crazy. we'll love having you back at TPF but we want your health to come before a simple game. you might have been my battalion commander and all but my order to you is to get plenty of rest and relaxation. my best wishes to you and your family as well

also i'll leave you with this for a lil bit of encouragement i guess:

I didn't know you for long, but you were a pretty fair fellow. I'll be sad to see you go, my self appointed rival. Now your going to have to make me find a new one. Oh wait, *grabs BEazy* there we go.

Better late than never.

Peace out Gabs, you're a good man. Don't forget to hit me up when you come back... they all comeback right?

Hope your health gets better as well, for all you've done you deserve that at the very least.
