This is just to inform the general public of the SMAC Off Topic that I have had a great time here, but its time for me to move on.
I have to return to University in a weeks time and I will probably concentrate on that a great deal more than I did last semester. Any spare time I have will most likely be directed toward keeping my social life alive.
In addition I am more heavily involved (and interested) in the Stories section of Apolyton, which is where I will spend what little internet time I have available.
I cannot even promise to lurk. The one thing I will return to SMAC Off Topic for is the intelligent reviews and discussion that people have regarding new release computer games. (TA: Kingdoms & BOTF recently) which have been VERY informative for me. That is the one thing that I have been unable to find elsewhere. Its one thing to read a review and quite another to hear real people talk about a game.
Other than that, I wish you all the best in all your endeavours, and hope that we can meet again sometime in the not too distant future.

Although Aman isn't exactly dead I would like to dedicate this song to him. It's Eulogy by Tool.

He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.
So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.
Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.
No way to recall
What it was that you had said to me,
Like I care at all.
So loud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud.
Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.
Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you ****in lie.
Don't you step out of line.
Don't you ****in lie.
You've claimed all this time that you would die for me.
Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?
You had alot to say.
You had alot of nothing to say.
Come down.
Get off your ****in cross.
We need the ****in space to nail the next fool martyr.
To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For your sins and your lies. [sic]
Goodbye...

One of the remaining few freaks in the world that drive their greatly over-budgeted cars and terrify their neighborhoods with Sepultura and the like. Oh well, I will probably end up alone here anyway, so this is just one more step towards my total domination of these boards!!!

Sarahs, whatever you do, don't appoint yourself Emperor. I just did, and it seemed to spark a "Blah" revolution...I told the Blahers that I would step down if they stopped...
I can only hope the blah does not spread.

FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME - MY HANDLE IS *NOT* created by combining Sarah or Sara and a family name as Smith or whatever. It is an abbreviation of a nice Lithuanian male name Sarunas. Thank you.
I will be an emperor upon myself, since everyone else will have left for Firaxis or Apolyton forums.
