Time to throw in the towel

The day has come where I resign as the commander of Liberty CA.
The reason being, I simply cannot afford it. I am planning to train, earn money and get factories to come back once I am sustainable and try again. I simply am not enjoying it, and have resorted to spending IRL money for a while now but I DO plan on coming back. It would be a shame for this Military Unit, which I started from scratch to become 4th in eCanada to die, but it's been running off donations and my student bank account (which is empty enough as it is) for a while now which is kind of unfair, not only to my RL plans which should always come first, but to the donators themselves. I have thought about switching to Q6 again or minimising the members, but at the end of the day I just need a break from it all so I can come back bigger and better. I also have to contemplate how much time I spend on eRep when I should be studying for my finals in a month’s time and then full time work after that.
My eFuture:
Well, I plan on joining a separate MU for a while, I haven’t decided which yet, and from there I plan to use everything I would spend of Liberty CA on upgrading my training grounds, rocket factories and then hopefully working towards being able to get Q7 factories consequently becoming sustainable enough to not spend RL money in giving out supplies. (I know it sounds stupid, and will take some time.) I might return to the eUK for a while (hopefully after Canada is liberated) but if Spain’s intrusion goes on for longer than expected I will make my move, with plans however to return.
Liberty CA’s Future.
Well I hope that it will continue under new hands, I do not expect it to continue growing, and I do not expect it to give the supply rate which I supplied, but it would sadden me to see all the hard work lost. I created the MU on the 3rd January 2013, and I have been stunned at the speed it has grown over the 3-4 months it’s been around.
Once I am sustainable and able to supply the MU without relying on donations I will return, and hopefully continue the legacy of this unit.
Thanks.
I would like to thank all of the donators over the months: Stephane Boothe, Venerable, Oinyo, Sm1tty, Sanika Jameson, Mary Chan, Oliver Dietz, CanadianCowboy, kwest78, Klop123, mwcerberus, xLil Ninjax, panzer1990panzer, Xvidian, Homer J Simpson, who have kept the MU active, fighting and dealing damage, and also to let you know that every single gold, CAD and tank were used by Liberty to kill Spaniards. There is nothing left in my storage, but dust and annoying bazooka parts I don’t need.
I would like to say thanks to all the soldiers I have commanded; it has been an honour fighting with you and it has been good fun. I plan to stay in the #Liberty IRC channel
🙂
A big thank you to my captains and 2nd commander Sm1tty who has helped me tenfold in the running of this MU.
I did not expect to leave Liberty and have been part of the Liberty group for over a year now. I have thought about it and decided it is for the best interests as I am giving EVERYTHING I earn to the MU and not enjoying the game any more.

😃R version:
I love Liberty, it’s been a great laugh, we have made great progress and I hope it continues without me, but enough is enough and I need time to rebuild my resources and kick Spains arse.
LIBERTY CA IS NOT CLOSING DOWN!
Thank you for reading

Hail Liberty! o7
Liberty UK are looking to recruit Pat Harpers if you do return to the eUK o/
Come home Pat...
Do what you must, good luck!

Probably not the most popular decision, but I suppose it's for the best.
You had a hell of a good run, and it's thanks to you that Liberty CA's one of eCanada's top premier military units.
Pat Harper for best MU Leader 2013!
P.S., we'll welcome you back with open arms if you ever feel ready!
Huzzah for Pat!!!
You have certainly done a great job with the MU Pat! But I know how you feel, you supply and supply and supply yet people still want more. Best of luck in the path you take!
o7
It's quite draining, yet alone boring. Still waiting for plato to improve the supply system and pay me my gold for the idea...
No one should be expected to keep an MU afloat with their own RL money. It is not sustainable.
It was never much, like £20 overall I think it added up to, but after taking a step back I just wondered what the hell I was doing.
We will miss you Pat 🙁
I will still be in IRC, friends feed etc. 😛
We.
Will.
Miss.
You.
As will I ): I will try be fast xD
Leave it to you to bring in the LOTR reference \o/
Strength and Honour
Had to be done (;
Sorry to see you step down, Pat, but it's understandable. Frankly, you've astounded me with how well LCA took off and kept on going under your leadership.
Here's to you, Pat o7
Thanks mate, and I will be back!! 😛
PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME, I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I haven't been playing all that long, but you're the best MU commander I've had! 😃 Thanks for your service Pat! ^ ^
COME TO THE DARK SIDE, WE HAVE argentines we need to get rid of.
Please come back!
All in good time my dear. There is still an infestation of Spaniards in the eCan pool
Good job Pat. Thanks for the good times. Looking forward to your eventual return.
Let's hope others in the MU can step in to fill in the void that Pat leaves with Liberty CA. Other MUs are stretched fairly thin trying to sustain current members as it is and the more MUs out there supplying eCanadians, the better.
But I do agree that you can't invest too much of your time and money into this game, as tempting as it can be.
There is a good plan in place which should work. I am happy that it's in safe hands.
Thanks for all the hard work Pat, keep in touch and no regrets. I hope that we are one day able to repay to you the same kindness and giving that you have shown us
I will be back and hopefully be more sustainable. Its been the best unit a commander could wish for. Never have I had such an active feed.
You basically taught me every mechanic of the game, and I owe my entire start up to you. It's sad to see you go 🙁
You a good person. You have done great work. You have made many friends. You have Succeeded.

Thanks for everything Pat. You're awesome. I hope you'll come back soon.
Say it aint so...
We will keep things going until you are ready to come home
o7 mate
Throw in the towel, not the hat, it means the opposite 🙂
GL Pat wherever you go!
lol I realised that after I posted it but couldn't be bothered to change ;_;
