FUN’s disbandment (2005) part II

Hey.

As most of you know by now I was once a FUN member, its that one alliance that made me stick with this game, I had been playing Utopia and a few other games in the past but thx to Jappie and his FUN I decided to stick with this game.

A report on the disbandment of FUN was posted last month, while going through some old data I found this log which is one of the thread in our forum that very last age.

Reading through it I was touched by some of the words and saw so many players mentioned that isnt playing anymore, I guess some might consider this log as private but I want to share it, it being christmas and everything.

note: This was written at the time of the real disbandment, the earlier article was when FUN ended at the end of Age 17, this is at the end of Age 19 where FUN temporarly resurected.

So here it is:

Topic: The End

2005-07-27 00:44:45 first of all: thanks jappie for have faith in me.
I really learned a lot about being elder and the less fun things about that too. Still I liked it and enjoyed most of the things we did together this age (trying to war etc )

Once again some people really amased me in a very positiv way (shade for example) so I’m thankfull I’ve played with those. Too bad so many of us got killed and couldn’t get on a nice size anymore.

now this age is over I’ll leave orkfia again so real life stuff can be picked up again. hope to speak some of you on irc/msn once in a while tho

the best to all of you

2005-07-27 01:36:52 First of all I want to thank you all for having the faith in me and my alliance to be with me for all there ages!

One person has been with me every age and I’m very gratefull to have such a friend and he feels to me as a brother. MeMerlin! I know he’s on vacation and won’t be able to read this post but still I wanted to name him!

Second I need to thank the Old Time FUNners! I know that still some players aren’t names yet but as this is the end of this alliance for God know how long I need to make this post according to the people who been with me.

Kakarot, Wai and Acwder been in this alliance a long time. (Acwder been out for a long time but still he’s an oldtimer). We played together in the generation of Pestilens, Neandrian, Glenn and some other players long time forgotten by this game! Hell this even include some bad recruits such as Bart and Peach (most likely only known by some). The 3 names at the start been with me for many ages in a row and they have been a key part to this alliance as well. They have helped and served #FUN each age they were in it! In 2003 when I was in Ghana for 7 weeks they kept the allinace allmost fallen apart. These players stood by me and had the trust that #FUN was an alliance to stay!

I also want to thank Tommies for co-founding this alliance with me and MeMerlin. We meet in beta age 4-5 or so when we were playing in ICE his alliance. You stood by me for many ages and for many ages you took your own path. But you allways came back to this alliance. Also we have meet couple of times IRL and I’m gratefull of knowing you. You’re powers to play this game helpen FUN and somethimes you left us but you allways came back!

Other key players to the FUN alliance as most of us know it are Rhodry, Suprem, JooP. Helping this alliance with eldering and making strats. Never hesitated to tell me when I was wrong and they allways gave their honoust opinion! Cheers to you all! Especially after you all joined here we made the ranking! I can write personal thanks to you all but I’m sure you all know how i feel All I can say is thank you for helping this alliance the way you have! You all put in loads of time and energy into this alliance and this game! ORKFiA shoudl give you all a veteran status for the work you have done and will do in the upcoming ages! One day I will be very proud to play with you again!!!!!!

I also want to thank Rye, Luth and Cheris! They came with us invited and without loads of ages expiences. I remember TJ asking me if his friend Rye could join us so we could teach him the game. Rye never left and TJ never got his well trained recruit join the alli he played . Well maybe next age Rye can finally play with you TJ .

Cheris was invited here by Suprem! I remember that Suprem asked me if his friend from an other game could join us and FUN allways took in friends. So Cheris joined and ever since proven to be a valuable active member! Allways willing to help and allways willing to give his opinion as well. For that I thank you Cheris! You told what was on your minds espeacially last ages!

Luth joined us from utopia. Actually to be honoust I don’t really remember who brought you in to be honoust. I’m ashamed of that. But you were a sunshine to our alliance You learned this game with patience and allways wanting to double check to be sure you did the right thing!

We also have a girl in our alliance that has been with us, left and rejoined and who is also a sunshine in our alliance! kiloWatt!
I know the first time I meet her was on a Dutch meeting in Leiden en I remember she was somewhat quiet but we did chat a bit. After that meeting we meet again in the Dutch Arnhem meeting and we decided to go out once. We grown to be friends and I appriciate that! You been sick last months and recovered mostly and I’m glad about it. For you I have the following msg: You won’t play orkfia ever unless you play with me

Now we’re down to the newer members:
Gurra and Tabore joined us 3-4 ages back! You were actually one of the limited players recruited by us. You both have shown us to be real team players and we coudl allways rely on you. Your first age the both of you have showed great activity and you helped winning wars with your teamplay in this alliance. It was like you were with us for many ages! It was very special to have new members that fitted in like you guys did!

Our latest members:
Shade, Adam, Glenn, TJ and Pao
TJ we have met long time ago and ever since we kept in touch. I been asking you many times to join us and this age you decided to join but it wasn’t as you expected. I’m sorry for that because I knew you could have outgrown me. nad never steal our market again

Shade we have met in #Sk and that age you impressed me alot! I promised myself not to invite any #sk player to #FUN after I would leave after that age but I noticed yu would leave anyway to a larger alliance so I decided to invite you! Ever since the most ingame msg I have are from you! Our playing together have grown to friendship and I will surely come to Florida once to meet you! Glad you are with me again next age!

Glenn, I was glad you joined. We have meet before but for real at R&D and we spend quite some time there on things we can’t discuss here But I will allways look for you on irc to have a chat with you. I wish you much luck with girls and surely we will play again together!

Adam, I know you will stop and that makes me sad. I know why you stop and I understand that. But I will remember you as a very enthousiastic player! There to help the alliance and to give your opinion! I hope this girl you have now is to stay!

Myeloou, first time we played together was in Herous of Orkfia. We never really chatted a lot but who knows we might play together again in the future

2005-07-27 03:02:20 Jappie, your words are more than kind…. and I treasure your friendship, and hope maybe someday I will travel to Holland, or you will travel to California and we can meet in real life sometime.

You, and the other FUNners have been so good to me, despite my being a senile old lady…lol. i definitely feel blessed to be considered to be a part (and the official “queen”) of FUN.

I’ve made some very dear friends here, and I hope we can stay in touch on msn/irc (i’ll try to pop in there once in a while when work isn’t killing me).

And if any of you should ever come to california, PLEASE tell me, I’d love to be able to meet you face to face!

I don’t know yet what I’m doing for the next age, as i have another vacation coming up, and considering it took me all damn age to catch up after going to New York, I’m not sure i want to get involved.

Once I’m back though, i may setup a tribe with Niels, but I’ll decide that later.

Anyway, I wish all of you the best in wherever your lives take you, and I hope that someday your lives and mine will cross paths…

Thank you for all the FUN!

*supersparklyrainbow huggles and smooches for everyone*

(oh, and it was Rhodry who invited me into FUN initially when I was going to quit because of my really bad elder in my last alli).

I love you all…

Anyway, I’d just like to say that it is always a pleasure to game with FUN members. Uncle Jappie you’re a great friend and I look forward to the day we can hang out on the beach in Sunny South Florida!

kWatt, you are and always will by my little girl Daddy’s proud of you!

Luth, my California dream girl! Will miss you take care sweets!

To the rest of you FUNners good gamming with you!
