End Of The Road

[Jake Diamond]

Howdy everybody, I suppose this was expected in many ways.

Many of you have noticed my not only increased level of inactivity but level of dedication faltering. This has nothing to do with anything other than I've lost my flame for RPing. It used to be about just coming on and having a good time, getting lost in my character, but now it just feels like work and I really don't want my last memories of this being of me not enjoying it.

Like I try really hard to keep up my dedication by continuing matches and fueds but it's almost a pain to motivate myself to go through with it. It's not that I'm lacking ideas or it has something to do with the people I'm doing it with, it's just lost it's fun to me, which is sad since I've been doing this since I was 12. The nostalgia is incredible.

Will an eventual comeback be possible? Definitely but I think this time when I take time off it'll be longer than the one or three months I've been doing as of late. I don't know. What I do know is that I'll be keeping up my trend of coming to EVPW at least once a week and reading my little hearts content out. If there is anything I still love doing is reading the solid work everyone on here does. Personally, competing with it would be an honor but it's just not working for me anymore.

I need to thank everyone here. You guys and gals are like my virtual family, kinda like the sims, only I dont have to worry about feeding or watering you all (Vlad is always an exception lol) and I thank you all for that.

I wont say anything like "til we meet again" or some corny leaving like that because, in reality, I'll still be kicking around here whether it's just reading stuff or catching up. Only difference is Jakey Pooh wont be. I think it's about time he gets a much deserved break, I've put him through alot, so who knows when he'll be back.

Thanks again everyone.

hey man you are a hell of an RPer and a hell of a guy
everyone needs there time to figure out what they are doing
so dont feel bad..
hopefully i will see you again in the Rping sense that is

[M BISON]

Sucks to see Jake hang up his boots. Hope to see you back someday, and I really wish I could've worked an epic match against you. At least you're sticking around in OOC; you should get MSN and join some of the epic chats that we have from time to time.

[Desperado]

I enjoyed a match or two with you and Im glad I managed to face one of the best we've ever had. I wish you all the best for your retirement. However, I do believe this isn't the last we will be seeing of Jakey Pooh.

JAKE DIAMOND FTW!!!

Haven't really been here long enough to see much of you but gathering from what I have seen, it's a shame that you're leaving. (In char' that is)

Hope Jake Diamond makes a return some time in the future.

Best of luck with everything you are doing away from EVPW.

[Rhaps]

Take as much time as you need. You'll be missed by everyone here and I'm sure I can speak for the whole roster when I say that. Take some time out and enjoy life and EVPW will always be waiting if you ever decided to return. Thanks for helping to make this fed a success and good luck with every avenue of life you may travel down.

What is this?! I mean, I understand the leaving and all of that and your reasoning... but this? I mean, where's the flash, the flare? It seems like a really drab way to leave us

So, I have to shoot for it. One last bout before you go-go. You and I, next week, Genesis, your pick of match. We can go full force or take it back to SCW style and do 1-2 paragraphs. And no pressure at all, if you aren't up for it, that's fine, but I had to ask. So, how's bout it, ole' chap?

[Alex Stall]

Jake.... I'm almost disappointed really. 3 matches we've had... 3 times has life messed them up. It's a real shame to never really see Alex and Jake take to the ring and really show the world what an EPIC match is.

Now I'm not aiming for a match before you hang the boots up, unless you feel up for a final real go at it. I want dibs on the first one back.

You've been a great friend to me in Fedding, one of the reasons I did everything I did.

So from a friend, another SCW Original and in my eyes, a brother in this virtual family. Farewell my friend and be sure to come back so we can finally prove to the world that Vlad isn't the only one who can make people's jaws drop from utter insanity in a match.

[Dominik Santiago]

Man. It kills me that your retiring and I wasn't able to properly kill your legend. Just Kidding Jake.

Listen, take your time, and when your ready to come back, my boots will be here waiting for you along with my Thumbtack Chair. Have your splitting maul ready too because we aren't doing no sissy singles match, we are gonna do it the right way.

When we hit round 2, its no holds barred baby!

And P.S., I enjoyed the match, it was quite refreshing.
