Vaschon you were in my opinion the best thing to happen to DR and especially TF. The most fun in the game was when one of your events was taking place, or you were interacting with us as either an NPC or yourself. It really sucks that you are gone and DR will be a much gloomier place without you. Those of us in TF will never forget you. Your fangs have marked a lot of us :) At least I will still have the doll on those nights when I'm really missing you. Much <3 always.

Vaschon, I have absolutely no idea what to say. In the sea of whatever that DR has become alikened to, you were a shining beacon of insanity.

I've never interacted with a GM as both casual and professionaly creative as you, nor have I ever been rewarded an alteration for singing the refrain of eye of the tiger by anyone else.

Your visits to TF in the time I knew you were always a blast, and I'm sad that I joined the game over there as late as I did, I'm sure prior you had even more fun with all of us.

Thank you for the fun and putting a sense of humor on the dystopia DR is slowly becoming. It was always a rebellion against the prozium when you were around.

LOL! You too? I got my gaping chaotic fissure (originally a backpack) for singing Monty Python's Philosopher's Song, it's one of the things I cherished most in TF.

On a more serious note, Vaschon will definitely be missed. I multiplay quite a bit -- Vaschon's ability to maintain multiple threads with individual characters boggled the mind. Not to mention all the delightful little mini-events that seemed to follow a certain war mage (not me) ... truly a gifted entertainer.

Vaschon/Nick- I will miss you enormously. You were a wondeful inspiration to me and to many. The events you created for our enjoyment were untouchable. I am extremely sad and angered with how it was all handled and the lack of understanding and judgement of some. I wish you well in all you do, and my heart is with you. (massive mammoth hugs)

Thank you Vaschon for all your hard work and dedication towards making our game thrive and grow.

Vaschon,

I'm happy for you! While it's a very sad day for DR players it's a very good day for you.

All the energy and time you spent on promoting and enriching a Simu product can now be spent on enriching your own life.

To the managment all I can say is.. never mind I will have to say it on the TF boards.

Wow, I am almost afraid from going to the DR homepage now, because it seems everytime I look a new GM left.Vaschonm you were an amazingly talented, and dedicated GM.If you were really let go, then it's one of the biggest mistakes Simu ever made. Best of luck to you in whatever you do.You will be missed by many, but never forgotten.

Vaschon,

You were simply amazing. The level to which you played every character or NPC was astounding, and the fact that you could do so many at one time was incredible. Wyren was my favorite NPC ever, and I immensely enjoyed every minute I got to interact. I agree with everyone else here in that Events in DR just took a nosedive. However, I wish you the best in future endeavors. I'm sure you will do well. Good luck bud, and thank you again for all the hard work.

Now that the tears have been wiped away..
I'd just like to agree with all that has been said already,Vaschon was no IS, an amazing GM one that was able to bring out so many emotions in alot of people myself included,I will miss him a great deal. I can't even imagine DR without him, He is a master of multi-tasking when it comes to this game.He has never ceased to amaze or impress me.Things just won't be the same without him. I just cant say enough about the man he was/is a true inspiration to very many people.

<3 Vaschon

P.S Dear Simu,That wasnt very neighborly of yas.

A goodbye from another who appreciated your many characters, Vaschon, and knew the hours you put into them, not to mention your dexterity in handling several at one time! Although most of my interaction, alas, was through the gweth and snippets others had with you, your flair was greatly enjoyed.

Have a rest, restore, and go enjoy other pastures with the same enthusiasm and ability.

I too will add my good bye to Vaschon, you were a great GM, your ability to play multi characters was fantastic. I hope that some day you will be able to come back, until then I wish you luck and happiness.

There is more I can say, but I have to becareful so that my words don't end up being 'bitter'. I'm sad and depressed about Vaschons 'leaving', yes there are many GM's and many of them do truly tremendous jobs, some we never even know about. Event wise though Vaschon is one of the few I have had the chance and pleasure of interacting closely with, I will truly miss that. I doubt I will ever have the chance again and I thank you for the chance you gave me.

Welp after counting to 1000, killing a few rather hard critters in the game, I have cooled off enough to post a goodbye that won't be pulled.

First off I want to say that the entire Event team, those still present, and those that have left, should be applauded for the effort put in for the Outcast war. As far as intensity goes, it beat the Gorbesh and the Sorrow wars by far. As far as length and total encounters, Gorbesh and Sorrow were not even close. Sorrow was longer time wise only because it dragged on for so long in the middle due to a critical GM having left.

That being said, whether you approved of the ending or disapproved does not really matter. What matters was the effort that was put forth. For that I say bravo.

No such intense event can be done by one person. To single out one person kind of gives the impression that the rest of the team did not matter. That is not what I wish to do with this Salute.

However I do wish to Salute the efforts of the one that is no longer with the DragonRealms staff.

When you decide how you are going to spend your dollars for entertainment every month, each person makes choices. How much do you spend on going out to dinner? How much do you spend on videos, or going to the movies? Should I save up more money for that new car or computer?

GM Vaschon made this a no choice for me. I wanted to spend my $40 a month to be entertained here in DragonRealms. And Vaschon delivered.

I will miss many things about what Vaschon brought to the game with his characters. Many of those characters were key characters so I expect they will be played by another GM. And that GM will have some huge shoes to fill.

But there will be some differences. So I will state what I will miss about the characters that were...and hope that most of them will return.

I will miss Wyren probably most of all. He was without a doubt the perfect comic relief villian. It would have been interesting to have seen him and Zoranyl become friends again.

I will miss Vorclaf's way with the people. How he maintained himself as a ruler, yet gave everyone he spoke to a personal moment.

I will miss seeing Jomay's ending. She was a true villian and I looked forward to see her end.

And again perhaps this will be picked up by someone else, but it will be different.

I will miss Jourok's bumbling and his stinky parrot Cleetus. Jourok being iced to death by Morganae was the funniest thing I have seen in years.

And I find it the height of irony that five years ago we were denied the ending of the Velmix saga...and now again we will be denied that ending. I would really like to see what happens with that.

But perhaps now we never will, as way to many events seem to end. Or rather not end, but be left forever in limbo with the participants disappointed and wondering what could have been.

DragonRealms to me has always been about being entertained. I enjoy the events. I enjoy the role-playing. Always have, and hopefully always will. That is why I spend my dollars here.

I have no doubt that the Event team will continue to deliver.

However, whoever picks up these roles, if anyone does, will have some very huge shoes to fill.

Vaschon / Nick you will be missed.

When I first heard the news, I thought son of a

Then I thought I should post my well wishes.

Then I thought Vaschon will not be able to read these posts and then son of a

Then I realized that someone will pass along all of these well wishes for us.

I'm not surprised. Vaschon took some time off (a long time off). Maelona did the same thing. She even said I'm not gone for good. Just need a break.

Different case here but it does has some similarities.

So, at this time I would like to say "Goodbye Rigby. You have been an awesome GM and have contributed much to the game. I hope you succeed in all that you accomplish and know that DR will be a darker place without you around."

Trebber

>>> So am I misreading your post or why do you say goodbuy Rigby in a goodbuy to Vaschon post?

Because Rigby has been slowly but surely been either taking a leave of absence or, even if he is active, keeping a very low presence on the boards?

Just like Maelona, and now Vaschon.

He's getting it out of the way ahead of time to beat the rush.

Yep, just getting it out of the way. I hate seeing things happen before they do. I must be psychotic or something.

Best of luck in all you strive for, Vaschon. If you give the rest of the things in your life even half the effort and committment you gave to DR, you will succeed in anything you attempt. You will be missed, have no doubt. Fair winds and following seas, bud.

although I certainly wasn't a fan of the Outcast war, I found the characters you played quite amusing, especially Jomay and Jourak, and of course, Cleetus.

ROle-play here has just had another nail put in the coffin.

I've had some very memorable moments due to Vashcon, and he will be greatly missed. He was one of the primary reasons I came back to DR after a very extended break, and its disheartening to see him gone.

Sorry to see you go Vaschon, its ashame its the wrong GMs getting fired. Atleast you bothered to show interest in the game you were staff on instead of preaching on about some other game all the time.

You will be missed, take care.
