Goodbye to PatJenn of Ted

[sanpedrodave]

Just a note that one of the oldest nations on Bob just deleted after his 25 day inactive. PatJenn of Ted a long term Green team senator self deleted. I think he was like the 21st nation started up on CN. He was also one of the founders of the GPA way back from the beginning days. Here's hoping he is doing well and thanking him for teaching us that CN does grow on all of us in one way or degree.

See ya around PJ'.

Respects

A sad day for the Green Protection Agency.

[Batallion]

A sad shame, but I still think GPA should enter the political atmosphere, this neutrality stuff is really ridiculous and only hurts the game.

[Ardus]

All I know is that I have no strong feelings whatsoever.

[Reptyler]

I am quite sad to see him leave.

[Lord Bob]

27 to go.

[Ironfist]

Always sad to see an old and respected member of any community leave

[TypoNinja]

Well damn, I had wondered why I didn't see his name on the senate screen.

He's been a green team senator for just about as long as I can remember, sad to see him go.

[Xiphosis]

Aw. I remember him :/

[Lennox]

Good bye PatJenn. You had a massive nation, yet contributed nothing to CN in my opinion.

[Sigrun Vapneir]

Patjenn was one of the greats, and this is a very very sad day for CN.

[BaronOfBeef]

Its sad to see this. PatJenn was a bit of alright.

[D34th]

A sad day for GPA, green team and CN as a whole, PatJenn was a great person.

That is because you have no idea, how many people he helped learn to play CN. These players later moved on from GPA!

This is indeed sad! Ted was one of the great!

[USMC123]

Sad indeed. I never knew him myself, but I have worked with several ex-GPA members who I am sure he helped learn the game. Being that old alone is worthy of note. Good luck in Real Life PatJenn

[quigon jinn]

Farewell, friend. You were a solid member of the GPA for longer than nearly all of us have been around.

[Luckao]

Always a shame to lose such a well respected member.

Exactly. I didn't know him personally, but still a very valuable member was lost.

Attitudes like the above do far more to harm the game than neutrality ever will.

[Utracia]

It is always a shame to see such an old respected member delete, especially one from the alliance I started out with. The GPA has certainly lost a great one.

[deSouza]

Patjenn wasn't just a large nation and a green team senator. He was the embodiment of what the GPA represented in its good days, which is cooperation, altruism and camaraderie. He helped countless people learn to play the game for no reason whatsoever and gave them (including me) free money to boost development, always politely. He was a community organizer, and it is a sad day to see him go.
Farewell, and o/

I think it's nice to have one neutral alliance. If people get a bit tired of CN and don't want to put much real time into it, but don't want to delete out of fear of potentially wanting to come back, I imagine a neutral alliance would be a good, safe place to sit and chill for a while. It's also good for newer nations.

I don't see the need for as many neutral alliances as there are though.

Hate to see PatJenn go, he was a great member of the GPA and the Green sphere as a very long-serving senator.

[Duncan King]

It all started when our hero, Patjenn, woke up in a cornfield. It was the ninth time it had happened. Feeling overwhelmingly puzzled, Patjenn grabbed a mitten, thinking it would make him feel better (but as usual, it did not). Rather abruptly, he realized that his beloved Nation was missing! Immediately he called hisundefined, Ted. Patjenn had known Ted for (plus or minus) 1.2 billion years, the majority of which were sassy ones. Ted was unique. He was ingenious though sometimes a little... clueless. Patjenn called him anyway, for the situation was urgent.

Patjenn of Ted seemed to be a good guy and a very cute nation name. It's sad to see him go.

[Thomasj_tx]

PatJenn was one of the all time good guys. He led the GPA during one of our tough times. He also was always there to help and advise young nations and was always a reasonable, statesman-like voice in the GPA. I had the opportunity to have several personal conversations with him on IRC and he is as pleasant OOC as he was IC. My best wishes extend to him in what ever he is up to these days.

On another note, I am honored to have been selected as the GPA recommended Senate candidate. I hope that I am able to fill the huge empty shoes that PatJenn has left behind.
