Post by Mahn on Nov 17, 2008 16:57:43 GMT -6
Me and the Mrs. are having a falling out. Hopefully, I should have a place to stay in a few months. She said supposedly fine with joint-custody and "Undisputed Separation Agreement". We will see how that turns out soon enough.
When time comes, server will be down for awhile until I get things situated. You probably won't see me on much and if I am, I don't have time to really chit-chat. I am actually THINKING of OFFICIALLY retiring. Passing over all rights and ownership out of my command. I am thinking Banjolnior will feel great sorrow upon that day, but the dawn of a new era of Mahn will be born. With that said, the other Brotherhood Members would probably have to find a new host if I do retire.
I do need time to get my life back on track and straighten out this situation. Server is up for the meantime but if it does go down for this "move/situation", I will be sure to let everyone know. I will keep in touch with Rand and Kija VIA phone for further information about my new life. It is time to pass on my old life and start a new one. Start really enjoying life and trying to complete my dreams. Believe me, you're never to old to do what makes you happy.
I wish many happy memories to ya'll and I'll be around for a while longer. Take care, guys.
- Mahn

New Mahn = Bald Mahn!
Life is just a series of adventures. Your time with The Brotherhood is just one of them. I'm sure you ran into a lot of enjoyable and exciting experiences, and great friends along the way.
As you go into your next adventure remember those things, and remember that those things will always be part of an adventure. With that said, you can never let yourself be sad or distraught over a transition into a new adventure. Take care bud!

I should be moving sometime next week or the week after. I found a nice 2 bedroom house, 1 bath, fenced in backyard, and a garage for $253 a month. Comes pre-furnished with couch, television, chairs, dishes, stove, washer, dryer; whole nine yards. May only be renting it out and not rent-to-own but not a bad price on things. I am going to OFFICIALLY retire. I will shutdown the host computer upon moving, backup all save-files and game files onto my external usb hard-drive, and input them on a DVD shortly after and send them to Kija VIA U.S. Mail. I am no longer going to be able to host this game 24/7. I've been with this game since it came out in 2002 and I re-vamped The Brotherhood in 2003. 5 years, going on 6. Quite awhile to stick with something for so long without getting paid for anything for it. Tons of trouble-makers, threats, fake lawsuits, server problems/up-keeps, and whatever else comes our way. I enjoy the community, my other Brotherhood members, and the time I have spent with the great Final Fantasy - The Hunting Grounds. My reign as The Ban Man, hard ass, asshole, bastard, and my Mahnsicle give outs; is over. It is time guys that Banjolnior gets hung up on my wall. I may still log into the server from time to time but mostly, I want to get things straightened out in my life. I will be on msn occasionally and check my email whenever I can. Everyone should know my gmail address and if not, it is mahnster101@gmail.com. Just send me whatever email messages if anybody wants to and I'll try to keep in touch as much as possible. Depending on who you are, I may or may not give you my msn name in a respondent email. I will give one final post in this thread on the day BEFORE the server is going down. Enjoy it till then, guys. - Mahn |

Well Mahn, you saved the game a few years ago like an injured hawk trying to fly. Now you're letting it go into the wild, fully healed. Good luck to you in life.

Just what the game needs, if you ask me. Hosting 24/7 without proper watching of the server only spawns problems anyway. *Looks long and hard at the ones who havent watched it the whole four bloody months he's been retired and still had to handle shit* Anywho. The opinion soundboard is still up and running I'll start checking my Gmail now and then to see if I need to respond to one along the way, 'case you fly it that way and not MSN. |

Anyways, I wish you luck in trying to make the best of your life. Hell, who am I kidding? You don't need luck. I mean...surely Banjolnir has its uses in RL as well...right? Allow it guide and smash your way to victory! |

It's been nice knowing you, Mahn. Even though I haven't spoken to you that much. I've always had and will have respect for your efforts for this game. I seriously wish you the best of luck! And when you have time and you actually want to log in FF:THG, please do not hesitate, since everyone will appreciate it! Thank you for everything, Mahn!
Live life to the fullest!

Mahn,
As I've always said, I really respect your attitude and presence on FF:THG. It will honestly not be the same without you. Matters in real life obviously matter more than things online, and I think it's a healthy choice on your behalf to move on too bigger and better things. I wish you luck with future endeavors (and legal battles). You will get the things you deserve, Mahn, one way or the other things will work out for you. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this kind of crap, it's definitely something I know I would never want to have to do.
Good luck,
Zach

Somehow I saw this coming. Maybe it was back last year or so when you said she was trying to get a divorce on you. Anyways, I'm sorry to see it actually happen. Like Thorn said, your attitude on THG has an effect on the community. Your attitude is rough, and aggressive, and when people see your name they know its time to stop. People respect you on the game, you bring fear to the "badboys" of the game, and thats when they stop their "shinannigans". Bring an attitude and desire to win, and you will succeed. Thats how you are buddy, you wanted things on THG -those badasses to stop- and you get it. You always do. Aside from that, your also a great guy to talk to and be around. Your an awesome friend, no doubt about it. You've always made someone laugh at least once when you were logged in. Thats what makes you friendly. Aside from all of this, good luck on your adventures, Mahn. Hope things work out for you and your son that is, if your keeping him. I would definitely say you should stay with him, your a good father, I know that. . If you ever have nothing to do, you know where to go. THG won't be going anywhere, we'll be right here, ready to cheer you up, like we always do Good Luck on your Life Mahn. Make the best of it. We'll see you around buddy. Good Luck -Firemaster- --Nick-- |

I once believed that I was just yet another player fading from the game, and regretted it. But your story taught me that it's not what you are that lingers in our minds, but what you leave behind. If you do have to leave, I wish you the best of luck in life. Until we meet again, may chivalry show you the way. I managed to extract this clip which somewhat resembles your situation in accordance with FFTHG. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0YKcxZggrENever forget us. Even if you turn to reality, may you take the memories with you. |
