I do not go gently
dmjohnston
Mood Music: Goodbye
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I said it in my initial announcement, but I have been planning this run for President for a few months now. It was the right time in terms of RL obligations that would allow me to focus heavily on doing the job well. It was inconvenient for me that Melissa also decided to run in the one month I had planned my run. Still, I wasn’t going to back down from a fight.
Obviously, it wasn’t my time. I take it as a signal that my time has passed and while I think I still have much to give and much to do, maybe the rest of the game disagrees. I did not go gently. I made this my last hurrah and I have no regrets.
Enjoy what’s left of the game.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dio bless you, and Dio bless the eUnited States of America.

DELICIOUS MEATS
You will be sorely missed.
See you on the flip.

You still have a lot to do and give, your time has not passed. 🙁
This was a very poor outcome. I'm sorry.
This makes me sad. You will be missed
🙁
I'm happy for you. and I hope you keep filling the world with delicious meats and cute baby pictures.
But, I'm sad for us. This is what it looks like when the game gets just a little bit worse for the rest of us. Right here.
The last couple days, I've been thinking quite a bit on how I miss having you in WTP now that I'm back there myself... How do we ever rein in the whale now? Wherever will we get our Tom Hanksimals from now?
(I mean, I know he's a lot of animals, but what will we do without an experienced zoologist to catalog them all and show them to us..?)
Proof of the downfall of eUS and eRep in general.
I really would prefer you didn't go.
Can I have your stuff?
o7, most worthy adversary.
What a wonderful adversary to have, I would rather not see you go. For every goal, there must be opposition. Please don't pull a Jude.
"Don't pull a Jude" Blessed be his name.
🙁
O7 ... Good luck!
What a shame.
And nothing was lost but a sore sport.
Classy as ever.
Maybe you're confusing yourself with me, sort of a weird mistake.
Let's review:
1.) Leaving the USAF because I became CO
2.) Dropping from the ballot after a mean spirited campaign because you lost
3.) And then quitting the game (again)
Clearly you're a real team player.
Dont be a tit, you're kicking a man after he lost CP elections. What does that make you.
He'll be back Garmr.
Whenever I forget why I detest you, you keep reminding me how petty you are.
Whale sized memory.
I have to agree with the Whale here, DMJ lost when he thought he was entitled to win; then when he didn't get his way he takes his ball and goes home.
lol, the US is slowly losing its dedicated players.
It's actually kind of suicidal in a sense. They struggle to make the eUS as secure and as boring as possible, then quit.
After my term is up as PP I am officially leaving as well. Although I do not have the same standing as people like DMJ.
Losing an election is hard. Especially so when you try. Take some time out, to remember what you really love in the (real) world. Come back when you're ready. I don't see the place going anywhere in a hurry. 🙂
There might be a few hundred fewer players when he comes back. I'm looking forward to the Ronald Gipper Reagan v. dmjohnston election of September 2016
Im buying the PPV for this!
What else than
❤
Oh, and I wish you peace and happiness in the real world, in enough amounts to never want to return to a stupid browser game as this.

Du riechst so gut.
Bist du dir ganz sicher ? Lol

Happy trails.
You are just sad or upset because you lost. Don't worry much, it's just a game. It's not that easy to stop with the drugs, you'll be back 😉

You dont judge a man's character by his victories, you judge a man's character by his defeats and how he handles them.

gl irl, enjoy your free time this month
Vaya con Dio
What was inconvenient? The fact that two much better candidates were also on the ballot?
Great player!
