Tar: going away?

Tempting, tempting...but I already have three copies...four if you count one that's on a loan...seemingly permanantly...
Still tempting...

Firesoul, yeah, I'm moving north to Weston, Maine. So I'll be a new neighbor for you damn Canucks. I recently sold my SFC-centric computer since I won't be needing it or for that matter any AC-based electronics (there's no AC power).

Hey, if you still have them I will take them!
Just tell me where to send your check!

Talon, it's available nearby, just need to install some poles. But I'm returning to my minimalist ways.
It's been a fun adventure in SFC the past 4 years, but it's time to retire. My keyboard's "z" key is about twice as concave as it would ordinarily be.

Dang Tar, sorry to see you go. We never touched base much save a few times but I always felt you were a great data hound and one that really put the time in to getting the data correct. We (testers) often took your data and used it to test our own and when you joined us I was really looking forward to your input. Sorry that you came in so late.
You will be missed and I hope that someday you'll drop by and say "hi".
Good luck and cool breezes!

Where abouts in Weston? Are you going to be on the lake? I can't think of any place else that wouldn't have AC. I have a place a couple of miles up Route 1 in Orient (pop. 185) .

Let me say that, while I've never had any dealings with you, directly, the research that you have done in regard to how these games work "in the trenches" has been an invaluable resource. So, thank you for your dedication, TarMinyatur! You will be missed!
Heh, you're welcome. A lot of thanks needs to be given to Corbomite, Fornax, Turbo, Marcus, Strafer, and Firesoul who were partners in gathering data (and poor Plato who was a target for about 10,000 volleys). In the end, I enjoyed testing the game more than playing it. How sick is that?
Post by: Komodo on February 03, 2004, 07:59:25 pm
And yes, it is so very sick!
Seriously though, folks, SFC wouldn't be as good as it is today without this man. You've done so much, most of it without near the amount of gratitude you deserve!!! You've been a part of the SFC foundation of this community, and personally, you've been one of my heroes through it all. Such dedication is rare, and you've been an inspiration to many! While we'll miss you, you've certainly set the example for many to follow. No one can take your place though!
I wish you well, and am sure you will prosper.
My respects,

MY respects as well. Much information from you has served to improve the mod I've worked on for so very long.
Thank you.
I am glad that the largely untapped work of the Shipwrights Project lives on, in part, within your wonderful OP+ mod.
I know I was a bit of a prick in my criticism of the post-2.036 beta testers after I voluntarily left the Circle after 2 years (starting with 2.006), and I'm sorry for that.

I have always been impressed with the way Taldren treats its customers...as a valuable resource.
I forget to mention the work Overon and DJSatane did to get me started in gathering data. Man, that was a long time ago when the miraculous tool called "Volly Info" was revealed to me.

To be honest, it was my pleasure to be involved in any and all testing I managed to do, however little I feel I really contributed. I always appreciated the amount of work that others put into things, Tar in particular. The other two that I was (and still am amazed) at how involved they are in testing would be the Strafer/Firesoul team.
Good luck
However much I'm burned out on SFC in general - I have little doubt if I merely heard that a SFC4 was coming out that I'd buy/pre-order the sucker as soon as possible.
