AA Server Donations
« on: January 06, 2010, 08:59:10 am »
Okay guys, here's the deal:

I loved Tremulous for a long, long time. I've played countless games for a few weeks and got bored, but Tremulous has taken up a fifth of my life, and I don't regret it much.

However, I've reached the age where it's time to move on. I've tried and failed to quit before, I know, but now it's obvious that I'm just not coming back.

I have given flux level 6 admin, and hibby is still around occasionally I do believe, but I don't plan on playing much again. I do remember, though, how bad it sucked when DarkLurker's Lair died for good, and I don't want anyone to have to feel like that over AA (not that AA in any way compares to DLL). I've got too many expenses other than tremulous now (yes, regrettably, alcohol is one of them) and I find it difficult to keep AA alive when I don't play there myself.

I want to keep hosting the server, forever if I can, but the payments are starting to get to me. As a result, though I have turned down offers for donations time and time again, I am now opening up to this possibility. I do whole-heartedly promise not to spend a dime of donations for any purpose other than maintaining the AA server on the tremulous 1.1 master list. If I receive more than enough donations to cover half of the price, I will apply whatever is left over to next month's fee. Your donations will NOT be spent on Ozzy's vodka fund.

I'm not sure if there is a safe way to display my email here, so for now PM me for my paypal account or check my profile, though I'm not sure if it's there.

Also, please accept this as my official resignation from the Tremulous community as a whole. I may still post from time to time, but I don't intend to concern myself with what happens in the course of tremulous development. I loved many of you, and I wish you all good luck in life.

Too bad Ozzy. I'd like to donate you some money to keep it up, I'm not sure how the Euro-Dollar things are at the moment, or how paypal works. I'll just try and try to send it to you in a proper way. :)

I hope we'll once have another great game at ATCS, on AA, with the AoD tag on. You were the dopest leader I've ever had in Tremulous, and I hope that this wasn't the end.

Good luck with your life, AA, College, Pot and Vodka :D

I had played at a lot of server and had been playing the game for a long time as well.  AA is one of the best sites to play and would like to offer also financial donations to AA.  I just don't know how to send it Ozzy.  Am in the Philippines and would try to find a way to send this.....maybe if you send me a post or email on how to get this donation and how much is needed to raise.   Again much sadden that you quit trem and the community will miss you a lot.


Peace, Love, Happiness, and Meow

Sad to see you go Ozzy. You'll be missed. Don't fry your liver!

Oh, also, you can set up donations on your forums:

Peace bro, good luck with your life.

Always sad to see the ranks of people who know how to buy things from the armory made one less.

Ozzy, did you remember your first kill? How fresh and rewarding it was? Remember that, because no other game can offer anything similar.

I do hope AA stays, its quite a good server to play on and I don't think I would want it to go. Its been in that server list for as long as I can remember, like a piece of history.

You will be missed.  It was great having you, your thoughts on the forum, and your great server(I'm not sure if I can spare any money, but if you ever really need it, I can try).
Thanks for it all,
Kiwi

Edit: After posting this, I saw
... Feel free to delete this account as well, if it helps you mods sleep easily. I'm sorry for raising so much hell about 1.2, it's your fucking game. If I made a game, I'd be upset if someone told me how to develop it.
And it just made me smile  ;)

Oh, and if anybody responsible is interested in just taking it over, I might consider that. Of course that would have to go through hibby. And no, yarou, you're a malevolent piece of fuck, and you're not eligible.

I might be able to take over.  I'm already hosting a server, so another one wouldn't be that bad.  But I'm sure there are better people to be hosting it than me, so you should let them do the job when they come around ;)

Best Regards,
Kiwi

Edit: I just saw that you're hosting AA on 1.2 now, so there's no need for all that stuff I posted up there. :)

Miss you already, Ozzy.

Don't drink and drive btw.

And if I was old enough to have a credit card, I would donate.

So.... -1?

I'm pretty sure kids of any age can get credit cards.

On topic. I might donate, I would be sad to see it go. If you need financial support ask. I may be able to pitch in some.

Be sorry to see you go, who will i name pokemon with now? But anyways good luck.

On the subject of the fate of AA, i would want it to be someone who both you and hibby agree on, and not the person who offers the most money. I'll try and donate if i can ;).

Also Ozzy, seeing as this is probably one of the last chances im gonna get to say this to you.

Smoking Kills

And on a side note

Excess Drinking Kills

Don't worry, I'm not selling it, I'd be turning it over to someone I believe I could trust. I'm planning to make absolutely nothing off of this whole deal.

First I would like to ask, why is this page so stretched? D:

On a more serious note:
Aww, sorry to see you go Ozzy :(
Its been fun playing with you and with the rest of the AoD gang. I wish you luck in your future endeavors!

I will see if I can make a monetary contribution to give a little bit back to the AA community :)

Guess I need opera or safari, cause the thing is stretched to all hell in chrome, firefox, and yeah, I even checked IE for the sake of it.

Once again: It's not your browser that's the problem, it's the forum theme that you are using.
The old forum theme seems to be superior.  :)
