Most of you that read our forums probably recognize my name as one of the instructors in Agony. A few probably remember I was the #1/#2 guy (depending on Azual's workload that day) of the PVP-University for roughly the last year. Fewer still will remember me as an instructor in either Seppuku Warriors or Eve University. And to be perfectly honest, I don't remember everyone who passed through those doors of the classrooms I led. My time in eve has drawn to a close, at least for the foreseeable future, but I thought that it would be inappropriate to leave without saying thank you to all for all that you have given me. I frequently received thank you's from students and occasionally even other instructors, but I don't feel that "I" ever really thanked anyone properly. Something most of you probably haven't realized, but most instructors or trainers you will come across in your life, regardless of the position, are there in large part because they actually enjoy passing on knowledge to people. For some it's an ego thing, for some, like me, it's an egalitarian thing, and for some it's a moral imperative to pass along their knowledge in hopes it will help others in some way shape or fashion. I do know, I lost a lot of zeal for the game over much of the drama of the last 6-8 months, but I stayed on because I truly do enjoy passing on what I know to others who are truly interested in learning it. I know my favorite part of teaching is when a student would catch me out with some piece of information that I didn't know, or fully understand. It would reinforce that bit of my presentation for the next time around as I would try to make it a point to know that for the next class. I've had a number of good discussions regarding tactics, tricks, tips, and attitudes towards not only people, but situations. I tried to incorporate all of them into my flying in game, and in some cases, into aspects of my real life that need a bit of fine tuning. I can't thank you all enough for all the good times you've provided me, just by showing up for, and participating in classes. I really have no idea how many pilot's whose own game careers I may have affected, but I hope they were all in a positive way. I hope some of you find your way eventually into Agony's ranks and take up the baton and PVP by day and instruct on weekend or whenever you can find time. Oddly enough, the reason I leave Eve is due to education as well. I have returned to college in hopes of bettering my real life skill set and ultimately my lot in life as well. I wish you all the best, and hope you continue to find whatever I may have taught you useful in playing the game for as long as you enjoy it. L8r Cr8r

I didn't get a chance to fly with you in Agony, I returned to the game a little to late, sadly. The memories from Seppuku and Eve University will last a lifetime. Perhaps I'll have a chance to fly with you again in some unforeseeable future.

Most of all, I'll miss the late night talks and brotherly support.

Cr8r, I wish you all the best, in all that you do.

You'll be missed old friend.

Sincerely,

KT/MD

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and have no doubt what-so-ever of your future successes. And, when the time is right.....hop back into your ship and hunt my pod down!!!
