Fine, if no one else is going to do it...

Yo, Cake, I'm really happy for you and I'm going to let you finish, but Lavos had one of the best troll threads of all time.

DAMN, I was thinking the exact same thing once I finished the first page. I'll be keeping my eye on you.

Oh, right, seeya Cake. We don't know each other and all, but, yeah.

[Alja-Markir]

How would you feel if one of your RL friends moved to a different city without telling you or saying goodbye?

Not sure, but I know how it feels to be the one moving without telling others.

It's strange, really, to think I can even remember it after so much time spent caught up in everything else since then. Heu, sum ipse. Nochi tlakamej uan siuamej kipiaj manoj kuali tlakatisej, nochi san se totlatechpouiltilis uan titlatepanitalojkej, yeka moneki kuali ma timouikakaj, ma timoiknelikaj, ma timotlasojtlakaj uan ma timotlepanitakaj.

Alja, you're either very intelligent, or bafflingly prententious.
I'm not sure which.

[Nevrmore]

So let me get this straight, Cake. In an effort to to make people "understand that hitting an additional 1000 post mark doesn't matter" to stem what I assume is the tide of attention whoring, you triple-attention whore by pointing out your post count, directly insulting possible new members while implicitly insulting old ones by implying they have no free time, and making a big "I'M LEAVING FOREVER" post.

Yeah. Good job, bud.

[theDreamer]

...Alja...Where in the hell can I find a Nahuatl to English translator so I can read that?

And Tim, just so you know, I've moved a lot, and every time I'd say goodbye to my friends.

And we'd have a party, maybe two, one I put on and one they put on for me.

This, this is not that.

[Arius]

How would you feel if one of your RL friends moved to a different city without telling you or saying goodbye?

This is more akin to quitting your job and peeing in the water cooler.

Alja, you're either very intelligent, or bafflingly prententious.
I'm not sure which.

The answer is "Completely insane."

[Alja-Markir]

They say a truly insane person doesn't realize their insanity. Yet I clearly understand that my mind operates in bizarre ways that confuse not only others, but myself as well at times. I feel like I could arguably be insane because of this, yet supposedly my realization makes it not so.

Still, even if I am insane, I'm pretty much utterly harmless. Just because I believe things that may or may not be actually so, or just because I may or may not suffer delusions of grandeur, doesn't mean my actions in response to such beliefs and delusions (or the lack thereof, conversely) aren't still controlled and logical actions.

Furthermore, I have rules, people. Honor and duty, that sort of thing. Sure, even I have daydreams about going back in time and strapping Adolf to a tree and unleashing a herd of starved goats to slowly devour him alive, thus preventing WWII. But that doesn't mean I actually go around and do stuff like that.

Except for that one time, when I sucker punched Thomas Edison in the crotch. That guy was such an asshole.

...figuring you out is going to be fun.

Alja, as a fellow trebuchet enthusiast, allow me to share a credo I live by which I believe you will find pertinent:

"The fact that I know I'm crazy is why I'm not insane."

[Genghis Ares]

Isn't that pretty much the basis of Catch-22.

It surprises me that Epocalypse has yet to fulfil Alja's desires concerning trebuchets.

[NachoManLance]

I thought the same thing. A nicely-worded example too.

Also, 400th post. 4,599 more until I quit, yes?

[Nevrmore]

One of the several definitions of Catch-22 given throughout the book, yes.

[2stepz]

Cake... thee are missed.

[Bananafish]

See ya bro.

[Niko88]

I salute you cake. The LRR Forums will not be the same

[aurora.melody2]

I'm hoping that:

[empath]

Well, dude - I know you won't reply to this, but there's an offhand chance you might READ it, so:

Take care. Hope you get to do those things you want the time to. I won't say *I* personally wouldn't prefer you hang around; even though I often didn't agree...NO, because I differed in many opinions from you is one of the big reasons I like you and your presence here - you helped me study my beliefs and what I held important by virtue of your differences (and I hope I did likewise for you).

Not gonna say it'll be better or worse for your leaving, as that's totally subjective anyway, but I will say this (and no one can argue it): it won't be the SAME without you.

Be well, dude, and here's hoping the dynamic change from the LRR/Escapist association settles down promptly and nicely, and both are improved by the 'merging'.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Be excellent to eachother.

And!

PARTY ON DUDE!

[Evil Jim]

Beware.

For who knows, even now The Cake v. 2.0 could be lurking among us at these very moments. Yeeeeessssss.

[Nevrmore]

Good, I hope he's read all our replies and feels supremely silly for this shit.

[Zyxst]

I, for one, am glad Cake left. He was quite a douchebag.

[Theremin]

(Now Theremin, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.)
