Greetings Argonath RPG members,
...And by this, also good-bye.
I wish to show some last things before I'm leaving, to newer folks, regular folks and realy old men...
First of all, thank you for the warm welcome in the very far past, as my first steps in Argonath were for me a brainwash. I've never heard of 'Role playing games'. Admins and old players teached me how to play, how to roll and how to act in the server. And d*mn I loved it! Felt in love and playing it now since '07. Yea, 5 years... and never get bored :)
After I masterd the skills of Role Play, you offerd me a job as admin. Man, I was even MORE in love! I liked my job so hard, it was a new world for me. Thanks to show me!
I would like to take you on a journey of my history here in Argonath...
Around February - March '07 I installed SAMP, beacuse I just love MP, and get realy fast bored of SP. No knowing what will happen, but SA was one of my most likely games I've played. Searching the servers, and randomly clicked a server... and guesse what is was Argonath RPG. The first steps started.
After a week I got the point of Role play, and starting to teach new players how to act.
My job? On duty... 24/7 if possible. I would be the 'good guy', and left all the 'bad' things behind. No more drugs, hookers or criminal activities for me... 6 Months later, time to take a big step into the ARPD.
I've grown there a lot. I've been is SWAT, been invited to the FBI, been from officer to seargeant. My duty was my live in Argonath RPG.
After a year, I applied to the admin team, and they accepted me. In the team, years past and I started as moderator, to admin lvl 4 (better know as property admin).
But for all ups, you must go down. And this has been proven. Due inactivities I lost a lot: Ranks inside the ARPD, duties in the admin team and the clan.
And today I will end this, with a tin line.
I'm sad, well maybe, but I'm getting over it...
Gaming is fun, but it eats time... and alot. But as long as you enjoy it, and can control it, there is nothing bad happening. Split you spare time to PC and other things, that is the best way of living (if you realy love gameing).
Of cource a small thanks to a lot of people:
Next time you blame someone, just realise what he or she did...
- Aragorn, Legolas and Gandalf. A lot of people hate you, you get a lot of blame... BUT, without you (and other), I would never get the change to learn the world of Argonath, Role play and real virtual friends. You made it possible, for me and others. So my most thanks go for you.
- Hyper, Brokeman and Legend (old one). You gave me the most trust of doing all kind of things. From clan situations, to scripting servers, to manage forums and helping folks. I spend the most time with you, and I realy loved it!
- Forgotten admins: Marc (with some numbers), Lucas_Scalise, CBFasi, and many more, thank you to bring the admin levels to high standards.
- Current admins: thank you to clear out the server. All of you thanks, and specially to Murt_Rogers, Daxx, Dellstorm, Jcstodds, Doggi, Jonathan_Als, Qsens, Sjeken, Zaila, Onotroll, Eliteterm, Petey and Seskom. You are in my eyes, the 'upper' class inside the admin team. This doesn't means other are s*cky admins. The contact was just otherwise, less familiar.
- Server team: [Rstar]Pancher, [Rstar]cDa, [Rstar]Cutt3r, [Rstar]Jaaskaa, [Rstar]Malcolm, [Rstar]Agent, Boromir, [Rstar]Kojak, and last but not least: [Rstar]xcasio. Thank you for all the shit we trow to you, to clean it up day after day. The high standards you use, are very very welcome (for me), and good for the 'own world'. Sorry Malcome you have to bring me the bad news about the admin duty, but it is your job. I'm glad it was you who told me ;). Nothing to blame ;)
- ARPD man: Pancher, Lucas_Scalise, Hank_Rafferty, CBFasi, Jaaskaa and Nicholas_Angel. Your project rules! ARPD for ever! Once LSPD, always LSPD!
- And of course I players I've met, and had my fun with. I will miss you (sounds silly but, yes, I will). It is stupid to create a 3page long list. You all know who I love isn't it ;)
Will I come back? Well maybe. Do I leave now? Yes. Will I check this topic? Yes. Do I disapear forever? I doubt so. You can contact me via my profile, so I'm not 'disapearing'.
But I take a deep breath and say bye for now. I see this as a very big break, without returning date...
Anyone to blame? Not at all. It was a wake up call, and it happend at a good point.
If you forget me, don't forget my ideas:
- New scriptable ideas (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/forum/index.php?topic=57647.0)
- Another thinking of the bizz system (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/forum/index.php?topic=57578.0)

Sad to see you go , you did so many things in argonath :D :D :D
I wish you good luck on your future and come back when you can ;)
You were a great person and you helped to so many people , and we wish for other to be the same like you .
-
TOVENAARKE!! :cry:
No man, we will surely miss you, a lot..
Hope everything goes well in the future for you, you where such an inspiration to Argonath, and a great Admin, and a great White Shadow.
We will miss you! :cry:
-
Hah, you were old when I got here.
You've been a true boon to the community, good luck in your life.
-
Damn, I guess I'll see you around Toven, good luck for the future.
-
Tovenaarke, You were the first person I really met when I joined the Argonath SAMP Community. You have always meant a lot to me, in the White Shadows clan, in the administration team, in HTS ( Heli Training Sessions :D ), When you were willing to sell your Maverick to me for 5k, and many other great memories, but most of all, as a friend. I can't think of anyone else like you. I hope this won't be the last thing we're gonna hear or see from you. That would be such a shame...
It is your decision if you need to, have to or are just want to leave, and I can't stop you from doing that. I just hope we'll still be friends and will still be able to keep in touch, wherever we can.
You'll never be forgotten, a true Argonath hero.
-
Enjoy yourself, and don't do anything I wouldn't...
-
Sad to see you taking this way, Toven. I will not try to stop you, i guess this is waiting for everyone, someday. Argonath loses once again a great person, a great friend of everyone. You will not be forgotten.
Good luck whatever you wish to do now.
The more liberty you give away the more you will have.
-
- Can tell me if it is right to leave...
If you feel it is, then it...good luck with everything!
-
I said what I needed to say on the ARPD Forums, but I'll say it here again.
Good bye Tov, I never truly knew you but I still respected you to a great degree. Thank you for your work in the SAPD and on Argonath, as well as in LSPD. It's great to see people moving on in their lives, however much it saddens me to see some great people; that I admire, leave.
So hopefully this isn't the last we ever hear from you, and one day you might drop in the SAPD for a little visit and hello.
Best of luck with the rest of your life Tov.
/me reluctantly takes Tov's badge and places it on the LSPD Legends Plaque.
Once LSPD, always LSPD.

I have taken it upon myself to refuse to remove your Wiki page, instead, your essay has been added :)

Cya Tov :bye:
-
Sad to see another old player leave. Good luck with your future endeavours Tov! It has been a honour playing alongside you all those years.
-
I read the whole text.
Always sad to see players leave from here.
You created a nice speech.
You left your trail in Argonath.
I didn't know you so good, but I seen that you're a good person.
I am really sad to see you leaving.
I hope that you will come back.
Bye for now.. :/
-
You earned my full respect, one of the greatest players/administration.
Good luck in future, you will not be forgoten.
-
I can only wish you well on your journey in life. Yes when responsibilities of life are stacking up, it can become hard to devote time to them and actually relax when joining the game. At some point you realise that you are getting too crowded on your in-game duties to remeber having fun.
As with any other old player, we will always be happy to see your nick and know you are still alive and well. Like many others, you will not be forgotten. I do hope that the Wiki will somewhere create a Hall of Fame of noteworthy users that have become less active or completely left.
Your name sure belongs in it, as one of those who managed to bring a smile to many faces.
-
A good guy, it's sad to see you go Toven.. but yes, I read it all. Your story is touching, and reminds me of back in the day times...good luck in the future mate.. it was great to serve with you in ARPD :)
-
I do hope that the Wiki will somewhere create a Hall of Fame of noteworthy users that have become less active or completely left.
Feel free to make one, Im all tied up ;)

- Removing the Wiki page [Wiki admins]
Are you sure?
-
Tov, I know we didn't always get a chance to play in-game together, and that it's sometimes rarer for players from the different sub-communities to fully mix - often resulting in people being forgotten... less heard...
But thank you for being a great person, and especially within our clan.
I wish you all the best,
See you (for now), WS buddy.
-
Damn... Just don't know what to say. Another great guy is leaving Argonath, didn't really met ingame but as far as I know you were a great admin and even a better player. You will not be forgotten.
And to be honest, I think you should keep the Pig Pen, just to keep the memory of you alive for those who do not know you. And let it be 'protected' (like a Wiki-Page :lol:) that it's not just for 3 months but for longer. Only problem would be stock, but I'm sure a solution can be found for that.
Tovenaar, we will miss you, I will miss you.

Goodbye Tove,we will miss you.
-
Eh Tovke, really sad to see you leaving.
We used to be good friends, friendly cop, back in the 2008 and 2009.
I really do appreciate all you've taught me and I will not forget it.
You are one of those guys that I will remember most from the Argonath.
Good luck in your life and whatever you'll do in the future.
Peace, friend.
-
Sad,
Good luck in future, Tove !

It's his page, not yours.
-
Bye Tov. Pig Pen is mine!!!
-
Goodbye my friend and good luck with your future endeavors.
It has been great to know you within SA:MP for these years but all good things must come to an end unfortunately.
