Definition: It is often used figuratively to describe the last of a series of events which brings about the end of some entity, in this case my time here at Revora.

I've grown tired of the political bullshit here. As an administrator and as a member. To put things metaphorically, let me describe the scenario that Revora is in:

Imagine a plane. Now imagine this same plane without a pilot, headed straight for the side of a mountain. The mountain isn't going to move, and the plane cannot turn itself without a pilot. There are no parachutes remaining for revora. Simply put, its going to crash and burn.

So, I give my formal resignation as a Leader of the RPG Division here at Revora. It has been a long and arduous road here, and my feet are sore. I'm jumping ship before it happens. I may be jumping out of the frying-pan, but most certainly not into the fire. For those who wish to join me in a new society, dedicated to intellect and comradery, please join me at The New Frontier for a continued in-depth experience with a focus on a strong community rather then individual divisions :p .

Many of you may be wondering why, after so long, I've finally decided to do this once again (For those of you who where here way back when, for Infinite RPGs about 6 years ago), it would simply be because I'm tired of Revorian politics. It was not my intentions to get flamed over adding to someones warn level (I'm sure they know who I'm talking about), and most certainly am tired of the flames between the entire community as a hole (This can be taken both ways, pronounced a-hole as well). I'm done, had it, and its time for the Coup. I hope that many of you will decide to join us, staff of this Frontier are welcome to have their jobs over there as well, and if you are hosted here, if you decide to come, you are most certainly guaranteed a place among friends.

I suppose this is goodbye Revora. There's a few of you I would like to take into special consideration in this, probably my last, post.

Vortigern: Thanks for all the great laughs, and good humor. I hope to see you on the new frontier.
Copaman: Dude, you're a great guy. I hope something like this doesn't throw you off, and hope to see you on the frontier.
FZM: Your help has been the best, you stepped up while I was absent, just like Vort and Copa. You're fantastic, and I don't want to loose a friend like you, hope to see ya on the frontier.
SWG: Good times, many great ideas, dont let them die with Revora, hope to see you on the frontier.

And lastly to everyone here in this division, you are all great, and your talents show. Please don't let them go to waste, and join us once again as we venture off into the unknown.

Nowe
The Former Frontier Admin

From what I've heard and seen, you did good Nowe. I'll see you at the Frontier when you get the link up.

It was a typo in the link... it's actually rpgfrontier.invisionzone.com instead of rpgfronter. :p

I've joined up. :p

Careful. This link is DANGEROUS. Do NOT click it. This one, however, is fine.

I had the meaning of life in my signature, but it exceeded the character limit.

A pity to see you leave revora...but then, who am I to complain, eh?

Out of curiosity, Nowe, who's going to replace you as admin of the frontier?

As far as I'm concerned, FZM or Vort if they decide to stick around.

*jumps up and down* Pick me! :p

If it comes to a vote, I'd pick FZM. Vort already has Creativity as his domain. :p

You know, IRS, there always space for another "Coup de Grâce" in a particular RP with an acronym name...

Goodbye and whatnot. Although I'll be betting that you'll make an occasional appearance here and there. If you don't, happy RP'ing. I'll check out your new board.

Sorry to see you leave, old chap. It's been a pleasure to have you around here, and I will most definitely see you on the new Frontier.

FZM can happily take over here. I've got Creativity and now the whole Community too, so I'll be kinda busy, although the Frontier will always be my spiritual home. Perhaps the coming absence of Nowe means that there'll be another staffer's spot available...
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Doubtful. There's arguments flying around that we have to many admins as is.

I'll join, but I doubt I'll RP much, unless one comes along I'm really interested in.


And yeah, there's way too many admins :p

Are you kidding? We need MOAR! :p

As someone (I don't remember who) said, we don't need more admins... we need more dedicated admins. Nowe was IMO one of the dedicated ones, which is most likely why he got sick of putting up with everyone else. *Vort, you'd better not leave too...* :p

Well, I think I'll start Spec Ops up at the new Frontier. Maybe it'll be more successful. Anyways, bye Gandalf/Nowe/Byakuya, have fun at the new Frontier.

Hello everyone. I am back.

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere just yet. So, Nowe, are you leaving Revora properly or just quitting as Admin? Are we still going to see you around every now and again or is the new Frontier going to be it?
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

*facepalm*

Why does it seem that whenever I return, there's a mass exodus of people I deeply respect from this forum? First Ash, then Richard and now you? I'm damn bad luck, I swear. :( Anyway, have fun with the 'New Frontier'; not sure if I'll move my posting habits, as that seemed to always drive my own personal exodii from here over the years.

OLD SIG
When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.
Razgriz intrerpretation
