Conrad needs a break

[Conrad]

Well, its getting to be that time for me. Just feeling really burnt out of trying to get on the server. Its no ones fault, I've just been playing pretty consistently for like 22months straight. Its been my longest run of activity on the server by far and during this time I've done so much, had so much fun, and achieved pretty much every hope I had on the server when I started out all those years ago. I got to be a good consistent Anakin, worked in a couple of battalions outside of 501st, Got windu/Echo/hunter, got advisor, and the crowning jewel of being palpatine for 9 months straight. Hell I've achieved everything I've ever wanted short of being a founder, and i doubt that would ever happen. During all this I've had so much fun and met so many people who I care deeply for, even if they're no longer playing. And honestly thats one of the biggest things that I is burning me out. When you've been around for so long so continuously everyone else feels like a revolving door. People come and go and it feels like you lose so many close friends it just has killed my drive to be on the server. I'm not gonna never connect again, i might even come back and play majorly one day, but I'm gonna take a well deserved break.

Time for some goodbyes. Most of these will be for people that aren't playing anymore, but thats kind of the point of why i'm leaving.

@Mavelle@MaddoxxNo time has ever been as fun as being with you two. Theres a lot I would trade to be able to go back and do it all again. I miss you both immensely.

@XazeYou put more effort at a leadership level then I think I've seen from anyone else, both current or previous founder. This is not meant as a dig at them, but as a celebration of just how much it feels like you've done. You have literally made synergy 2.0 with all these improvements/advancements. Just make sure you go outside every once and a while.

@Brooklyn Don't feel like i need to say much for you, you know. You've been a great friend when I've needed one. Thank you.

@Woeny One of the golden oldies. Honestly don't know how you're still kicking, but its good to see you still manage to enjoy yourself.

@Gears I know we had a falling out during the whole HC meeting thing, but i'm glad we've been able to talk again over our love of the order. Thanks for letting me be palpatine, it really meant everything. ( I will continue to run jedi intel stuff for you if you need. )
@Jayarr I hope the focusing on real life thing is working out for you, and you're not just playing swtor lol. Honestly the downward spiral all started when you left, and just hasn't been the same since. I'll miss our early morning hangs. This map you've made is magical, i hope you know that.

@Caidoon@Eclipse@Col You guys really where such standout guys during my time in SOBDE. You made it so great.

@JaBakuWe changed the order in such a way that the changes are still in effect and going strong. Its something I'm very proud of and i loved hashing things out with you. You took a chance on me for windu and it meant the world.

@Daytona211Someone that loves the game for the same reason I do. The interactions, roleplay, and star wars of it all. I hope we can come back to a place where the event server gets the respect it deserves, the respect you showed it every time.

@Mazen YOU COULD HAVE CHANGED IT ALL. But you abandoned us we we needed you most!

@NissanMikli Take good care of the batt, she means something special to me.

@Guac

@KayPBest ERP partner.

@ Founder Its a pretty good server you got here. Its meant a lot to a lot of people. Heres to hoping it can keep doing that for years to come.

And lastly to all the other people I've met along the way, its been a hell of a ride and I've loved (almost) every second of it. Thanks for the memories.

If anyone has any pictures/videos of me doing stuff on the server and posts them i'll love you forever.

o7 Gonna miss you

o7 man, you've been a real one across Palpatine and an incredible Anakin for my time in the 501st. Keep being you!

o7, end of an era. When you come back the server won't look the same ;P 

 

[Bleach]

See you in a couple months

[Mystic]

o7. Wish i could've done more with you in our short time together. 

Still my only Palpy

You will be missed! I will do my best to make 501st be the best! 

[Daytona211]

I always appreciated your great criticism of event, funny yelling and overall fun vibe. 

I often had to design events not around "what does the playerbase want" but what would "Conrad and Mavelle want" because that is what produced the best quality events that players didn't even know they wanted. 

If there was a mount rushmore of synergy Conrad would be on it.

o7 man you have been great and have helped me a lot over time. I guess I'll never be added to your forums signature :(. Seriously though had fun role-playing with you on obi and when you were pelpy. You have given me so much advice and I am genuinely gonna miss you. Good luck and may the force be with you.

[Mystic]

Conrad was just hanging out

[Fizzik]

Totally understand you struggling with it being like it's a revolving door... Wish I hopped on more while you were here... Didn't get to relive any of the Senior Commander Conrad days like I hoped. Best of luck man!

[Finn]

I'm gonna miss you, bud. You were always really fun as Palpatine and Anakin, and you were always a good person so sound out ideas, and you always had the best intentions for the server. I hope you stick around in TS, and I hope you come back refreshed and ready to shout more!

[Som]

Man every since I got into the server and into 05 you were the most welcoming person out of everyone at that time. I'm going to miss you fucking around and hanging out with you don't be a stranger blue commando o7

[Luther]

o7 Conrad, I had some very enjoyable times with you in SOBDE, I hope to see you return again someday. 

[shroud]

conrad :((

[Wolfe]

Its sad when the day comes someone of your caliber leaves something this great behind. Seeing you as palpatine skywalker and many other characters you have played has brought me and many others to tears of joy and laughter. Im happy to say I got to meet you and kayp. Especially when the 18+ conversations start rolling it makes me remember why I get on the server whenever I can. But all good things have to end at some point and that point is the beginning of a new year for synergy and hopefully you will be able to show people how to enjoy this wonderful game we all play with the inspiring/emotional journey you have taken many on. So to you good sir farewell for now hopefully we see you again.

o7 this is a sad but happy your able to advance your life further then you already have good luck with the house and the kid that will eventually happen.

 

We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

i’m lost always but not right by your side

[Quassont]

Conrad, no one will ever be a better palpy then you. You were one of the few people that created such interesting situations whether it was on Anakin, your overseer, or even palpy and it was all fun and entertaining in the end. Love you man and I hope to talk to you again sometime soon. o7 May our paths cross again in the future!

Much Love, Quassont/Oddball

i love you man you were always so kind and cool and overall sweet

I hope you know you meant a lot to me on the server too. I loved playing when you were playing because I knew at least one MF around would be doing some funny shenanigans 

[Fyi]

you'll be back

[Hanz]

I know it’s been a while since we’ve talked but I will always appreciate the times we had in 501st together. Miss you buddy

I can only attest to this statement, the time I got to spend with you on the server was the highlight of my time in this community.  

[Forseen]

It's very unfortunate that during this long stint of the community you and I did not cross paths as much as the last time in which you actively played, however I still, and always will, consider you a close friend of mine.

It's always a sad day when a close friend leaves the community and I'm hoping that this break is not a goodbye, but rather an I'll see you around.
Please don't become a stranger. You know how to get in contact with me and you know I'll always be down to catch up.

 

Lot's of love

[Bbstine]

You were the shining definition of a perfect Liaison partner. It’s a kind of void time won’t fix either.

 

o7 Conrad, thank you for your time.

[Xylops]

Man this is really unfortunate, I'm not sure if I ever really told you one on one but I really feel grateful for the way you treated me when I was still playing. I felt like you were one of the only people on the server that people were able to come and talk to no matter who they were and you would still listen. 
Thank you for being such a wonderful presence on this server.

07 Never thought I would see the day. My time in SOBDE with you and the boys was the most fun I had on the server. Sad to see you go man, I hope to see you again soon.

@Conrad you shaped my understanding of event running in a lot of ways. There was @Shockpointand @Daytona211 making me think like a true GM- but when it came to what a player wanted, having you in my channel while I was building for numerous events you were in taught me a LOT. And I don't think any of my legacy here would be the same without.

I remember one time us saying that because of how fun it was to RP Barris/Luminara with your Anakin and Ahsoka, it wouldn't have "felt right" if I was ahsoka, but we really turned that the fuck around. Thank you for making my synergy dream of being Ahsoka with an awesome Anakin real.

 

Everyone has their time. Play in my DnD game still or I'll kidnap your wife and burn your house down

[Black]

o7 my guy, I will never forget our time in TC in 2018, neither will I forget our time as Rex and Anakin, thank you for everything you have done for this community. 

[Katy]

I always will remember the Consular and Healer trial you did for me because no one else would due to inactivity lol. You definitely don't remember that, but I do. You were a very friendly and impactful person during your time. Enjoy your time off of Synergy

[Ccmonty]

ill always remember the sinister undertones of every palpy interaction
