Popular Post EvilPiggyFooFoo Posted May 27 Popular Post Share Posted May 27 This post is long overdue, but it’s time for me to say goodbye. Whenever someone left PnW, I’d joke, “Congrats on your freedom!” But honestly, this game has been one of the best things to happen to me—it’s shaped who I am and helped me grow in real life. We shit on this game all the time, but for my last post, I want to have a genuine conversation about the impact this community has had on me over the past 9 years. I don’t think we talk about this enough, we always like to say it’s a waste of time… but reflecting back, it was the exact opposite. PnW helped me get into my dream school with a scholarship. I had no idea how to write a resume or even where to start with college apps, but people here (@Ser Arthur Dayne and @Caleope especially) gave me blunt feedback (literally told me that my first CommonApp draft was “dog shit”) and stuck with me for hours, helping me focus on what mattered. Even after getting in, y’all helped me with everything from club applications to networking. As a first-gen immigrant college kid, this community leveled the playing field for me, and I’m beyond grateful. Believe it or not, you can put PnW on your resume. I learned graphic design here (thanks @Aksel and @Ripper) and added the flags/ads to my art portfolio. I got into coding the early prototypes of TARS and CTOwned (@Shamadruu ty for this and so much more), which landed on my tech resumes. I even put EVH on my MBA apps and somehow made it sound legit in the interview... Some would say PnW made me a master bullshitter. Most importantly, this community got me through the tough times - whether it was when I was a lonely high school freshman, or when I was dealing with a breakup as a college senior, or just needing a space to tism (shoutout to the KT-EVH embassy). Those little moments meant more than anything else. Ironically, if I didn’t play PnW, I am not sure I’d be very sane. Thanks for everything. Y’all meant so so much, especially those of you at Event Horizon (extra brownie points to @Daveth @Krampus @Xi Jinping@JaxTeller). I hope we can meet again some day, it really has been the best of rides… everything from waking up to 5 AM alarms for raids or arguing on the forums with one of my DOWs. ❤️ I will miss this, I will miss all of y'all. 61 7 Quote Order fresh quality ads, flags, and graphics at Makin'Bacon!

Daveth Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) During my time in the game, I have spoken to a great number of people, and even still, there are probably very few I have had the pleasure to really get to know and call friends. Among those, there's a very select group I can confidently say are my heroes - you're there. You are easily one of the most determined and accomplished people I know. If you ever have any doubts, I sincerely hope you know I have, and will always look up to you. As you blast off one final time, Piggy, know you'll be missed severely by someone rooting for you. Don't be a stranger, love you long time. Edited May 27 by Daveth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaxTeller Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be rememberèd— We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother Piggy, it has been nothing short of an honor to have gotten to work alongside you, from merge talks with 5P and CTO, to the founding of EvH, to everything in between, you have brought joy to many lives through this game. You will do great in your endeavors, and should you ever need anything, there is a community here who will do whatever we can to help you. It has been a privilege. It has been a ride. The community will be worse without you, but I am better having known you. Alas, my brother. 1 Quote Ascended of Event Horizon John the Revelator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xi Jinping Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) I'm going to cry. You are one of the best people that I've played this game with in the past five years. Funny that that started with me ordering to have you nuked for being in the same alliance as Spanky. You better still be available on Discord. Congrats on finally breaking free after a year of saying you were going to retire. Edited May 27 by Xi Jinping 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherith Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Although I barely knew you (we spoke maybe twice in DMs, briefly), I love your post and understand the sentiment. Take care where you are going and all the best! The true legends leave a hole when they leave - I see a hole forming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
