Well, you people have finally done it, you've gotten what you wanted, I'm leaving for good. Yep, go ahead, start yelling and screaming because you've gotten rid of me, the person you all hate more than WLJ.
I thought about leaving another forum message, but the last time I left someone said something, they said, "You cant leave without making a BR", well, here it is:
I came to NH awhile back, I made friends and played some great games, my skill level improved because of it. I became involved more and more as time went along, then it happened, I stumbled upon this site and got interested, hooked even, although I never made a battlereport myself I was infatuated with them, the graphics looked great, and the writing was fantasic, the games were brilliant aswell.
This site took over most of the time I spent on my computer after school, and whenever I could grab some time at home on the weekend. I read every BR I possibly could, hoping to learn new strategies and get a bit of a laugh out of it.
Naturally, the community grew and new people were arriving all the time, a lot of the older Nohunters veterans were always there to help newbies like me out too. I befriended some of you, with friends come enemies though.
First impressions are always important, I'm not sure what kind of one I made, but I paid particular attention to the bignames around here (eg Bob The Newt, Drefsab, Mark4, YRM, JV ect ect ect) and what, if anything, they said to me.
I failed miserably to get anywhere with these guys, I sucked at Starcraft/BroodWar and didn't write battlereports, probably the only way to get fame around is to be really good at SC/BW and/or write great Battlereports, so that didnt work for me.
I became friends with outcasts if you will, Phoenix-S- wasn't a bad guy, we have many things in common (constant spamming of forums for one), SpermOfPurity was someone else I became friends with, I have one found memory of him and I spamming the hell out of a crappy BR.
Sadly, Phoenix-S- got banned and S.O.P disappeared (FU Scarab for eating him, I liked him) I went to Brood War USA-1000 a bit, there I met Wisest~Yoda (probably dont remember now do ya?), I also saw some NH regulars in there a bit too.
My time here increased as I got more addicted to this place, also, people began recognising me a bit (probably because I wouldn't stay quite no matter where I went).
My last few months here went by fast, I befriended more people (POA, Anathema, Slings mainly), sadly I got rather hated by most of you. My drinking didn't go down too well with Slings, POA started to hate me for my "annoyness" and Ana struck a fatal blow tonight/today/whatever it is for you people. He stuck up for me when I left and absolutley owned everyone on my thread.
2 days after that I came back, with everyone asking me why I'm back and saying "I thought you retired". Others left too, all for the same reasons, too much work/school or SC/BW getting boring.
Then, the one called WarLeaderJustin left, not because of work or school, not because SC/BW is boring, no, he left because you guys are assholes, some of you that is. You guys drive people away without even knowing it, or without even caring. You drived away a really nice guy, he was a good person and I didnt hate him in the slightest, you might say, I even liked him.
Now, you've droved me away too, SC/BW isn't boring, I do have a lot of school work and heaps of Real Life commitments too. My exams are in less than a week, and I'm relying on these for the good grades I want, I have after school "study sessions" with friends (a group of us go to one of our houses and study together, very productive, suprisingly).
I have one very very strong memory of NH, it was in a game, and Ana said to me "The only reason I haven't left yet is because I haven't thought of a way to go out". Well, I did and this is it.
Wonder if some of you are still reading, if you are I hope you think about what I'm about to say.
Despite any impressions you have of me, know this, you've forced me to this and I could have been one of the nicest people you'll ever know, I could have been one of the best BR writers in the history of this site, now, you'll never know. Hope you're truly happy, I really do.
As I began this, I thought how I would en-title this, I chose "My Battle Against The NH Community" because I battled against all odds to try and make a name out of myself, to try and gain some respect and a great bunch of online friends. I failed, you people beat me, I won many small battles against you, yet, you won the war, you won.
My first and last BR has been all over the place, and was merely a way of saying "Goodbye" to all of you who weren't total assholes to me, to those people I say thankyou for the memories and the fun we had. As for those I hate, I have nothing to say to you guys, you're the reason I left, and the reason many more will go aswell.
Well, thats it, I'm done rambling and babbling.
Goodbye BR.com, maybe I'll see some of you in real life sometime, I probably wont know you're the person on the end of a phone line I've probably spoken to on many occasions.
Later, Snork~Dimmy
