It might be gay to leave, however I feel I've destroyed the community and there's no way I could happily come back to winbolo in the cheerful mood I usually was in.
Man, where do I start... I'm finally taking a final farewell. I know my other farewell's haven't been sincere, but i've never taken a far enough step to remove all Winbolo and mIRC clients on my computer. I've even gone to a far enough point to ban myself from going onto winbolo.us or winbolo.net. I know you all didn't respect me as I would of hoped, but I did try very hard to have relationships with most of you.
How did it all end?
Well, recently I was banned from .us for ruining a game, which is well deserved. I got upset because I believed it was an unjustice ban, and many other bans were either, to drastic, or no bans were made at all on some people. I brought the bots and most of the winbolo players to my server, irc.rizon.net. While I was there we set up a future dynasty, and that night LRL and I had a chat about the policy and how it needed to be changed. It might of seemed to all of you I had only intended to get ops in .us, but that was only part of it. I really wanted to make the community happy and actually see us get along. I know you all didn't support me. I know I was hated by some of you, and i know that most of you disagreed with what I trying to do. The next day sheepbot came back and basically took winbolo over again, which is okay I guess. If there's anything I learned, I learned that sacraficing something can always get you somewhere. Didn't think it was actually true, but life is full of things you will never know.
I had a great time with all of you guys.. Most of the time ;)
Well, while I was here I did made things for the community, you might of not noticed, but i really tried to do the right thing for winbolo. I attempted to make two websites for winbolo ( http://www.renbot.winbolo.us , http://www.renny2.netfirms.com ) and brough up my own bot for the community to use. Maybe my sites didn't provide the greatest information you've ever received, Maybe my bot wasn't the best connection you've ever played on, but I tried damn well to make you people happy.
I taught many winbolo players, and basically was reconized as the protege of underdog. Some of the people I taught were: haha, spintega, brando, senzuri, onani, nobody, jason etc. I received life long lessons from a couple people, mainly addbot. Man, I wish you the best addy, and skywalker, who unfortunately doesn't come around here anymore. I wish all the best to the following players, and left a comment to every player that is still active: (If I forgot you please don't take it offensive, I wish you all the best).
Alexm: Had some good IRC chats with ya. And if you start playing I wish you the best of luck at becoming a bolo god :-P
Acro: What can I say about you besides the fact that you've been with me everywhere, at any time, at any cost. You are great role model and hope you try to stay unfrustrated when playing winbolo. Good luck buddy!
Addy: My big brother :) I know we went through our difficulties this year, and I doubt i'll ever talk to you again, but i want to personally, sincerely let you know that you gave me life lesson's I won't hear anywhere else. I will carry it everywhere I go, until the day I D.I.E. Secondly, I'm thankful that I had someone as cool as you to teach me the game of bolo, without getting too upset with me. Much love add boy.
Brando: Surprised myself that I can smile writing your name here. I know we did have our difficulties almost 75%, but atleast you were able to handle me :) Good luck with winbolo man, I hope you take some of my playing style and put it into yours, because with your awesome tactics, and my old defensive strategy, you can pretty much unbeatable, I wish you the best of luck playing winbolo. Sorry for fighting with you most of the time, remember use your lag to your advantage brando!
Dan,fido,Dallen: Didn't know you 3 very much, but keep playing, this game is addicting, but it gets fun when your work and training pays off :)
Fireice: I will truly miss you, doubt you're going to read this. There's so many things I can't even think right now... Know that feeling? :-P You've always been a funny guy, and always been someone that would cheer me up when i'm down, just like addy.
Jky: I will never forget first joining IRC, and you tricking me into giving you my password back about 4 years ago. heh. Have a good one. same with flad.
Min: Thanks for all the computer tech help, and winbolo strategy guides. You've always made a room feel much more special just by idling in it :)
Underdog: Mr. Bolo GOD, well can't really call you that now that your rusty and haven't been playing. Thanks for those 1,0000 some odd 1x1 games you played with me to help me become a great player. I did get my defense from you. :) Thanks for all the games and helping me perfect my winbolo game. You were always truely, secretly, my winbolo idol :) Shh! Have a good one, Sorry that we couldn't settle our differences at the last minute, I still wish you the best, regardless of how bad things went these last 3 weeks.
Sheeps!: thanks for letting me use WBB and making it available to all of us, thanks for all the games, and IRC fun! Have a good life man
LRL: Well, not only were you always a great ally, but you were always my protector when I had people hating on me. Even when it was Nemo, and jky :) You gave me plenty of chances at being an op, i admit I screwed up, I guess it wasn't for me. I enjoyed staying up late on school nights having late night chats about winbolo related topics, and help edit the policy. I wish the best of luck, and i hope you realize my main intention of creating the IRC server was only to make IRC a better place, and I was hoping it was all end well in the end. As much as you don't want to believe that it was the truth. I just couldn't take the constant complaining and issues in .us that were going on when you were idling. I hope you read this and will speak up to throw in your two cents on what you have to say. Good luck with managing IRC and I hope you take my advice :) PS: EVERYONE, LRL pays a lot of money and tries his darndest to make a great server for you guys to talk and play on, respect him. He really deserves a lot more than some of you give him. If you had any idea how much he spent on his website and IRC you would worship him. Have a good one LRL'y
Lance Spart: You guys were a great team, and I hope you both keep playing together, you both play very well together. I will always remember those games you played against Ud and I, or Spin and I.
Spintega!!!: You're probably the only one i'll ever talk to anymore on AIM that played winbolo. I'll talk to you on there. You have great potential keep playing.. You always will make me laugh..
Haha!: #elit3... lol, you were a funny guy, can't wait to see you on comedy central you racist bastard ;)
Sethos: Have a good one man, keep playing so you can unrust!
Stimpy: My twin, thanks for allowing me to use this nickname, I will always remember your great sniping skill, and that time you beat me after 3 hours on hathec. heh, atleast you got me once right? >:) Just messing with ya, have a good one!
Maddmaxx: Stop calling LRL a cuntface and you'll probably get unbanned, just apologize so you can get your way. :-P
Nobody: I almost forgot you! thanks for all the beatdowns you gave me. Remember, just use your head, play aggressive, and you can easily be a top player in winbolo, you don't need someone to advise you on how to play, just use your head. Have a good one and good luck with college.
Pawn: Your a great guy, i enjoyed talking with you, goodluck with you kid.
Phart: The one player I could never figure out, The only player.... :-/ Atleast I beat you 3 times, more than enough. :)
Good luck with you lives guys, I'll probably check this next week to see if anyone bothered to reply, if anyone bothers.
If I forgot any of you I'm truly sorry. Good luck guys, have a great life, and keep playing winbolo!
I will keep my bot up incase anyone wants to use it, I hope it doesn't crash, because I don't think i'll bother to come on irc, besides checking WBN next week. Later everyone.
PS: If anyone wants to finish my website for Hall Of Fame Winboloers Email me if you want it: ren@winbolo.us ... Hopefully LRL will keep it working :) It's about half complete! You know you want to finish it up for me someone!
A final farewell...
Love ya'll from the bottom of my heart.
