Retirement
As some of you already know I have had some health issues recently and it has come to the stage where I need to prioritise my health above Planetarion. I will remain in PATeam until all areas of my job have been assigned to others. Hopefully at some point I will be able to return to the world of Planetarion and maybe even play it again...
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank some people who made my time both playing and working on Planetarion fun:
Xandria for being a great friend
Dingo for not kicking me form NoS
Cincinnatus for being generally cynical and great
Wipeout for being a great BC
Nadar for being generally annoying
the #7even guys for being the best galaxy I have ever been in
Kloopy for generally stopping me form killing PA
Appocomaster for all the support he has given me
The rest of PATeam for keeping the game going
A2, Gwyn and lonewolf for being the only 3 PA players I have ever met
there are many others who are great and wonderful, but to many for me to mention or remember (my memory really does suck )

Re: Retirement
Blimey, I didn't see this coming.
I know we've not always seen eye to eye especially regarding PA matters, but it's still been good to work with you and it's always a shame when it has to end like this.
Hope you get better soon, and good luck and best wishes for the future

Re: Retirement
Sorry to see you go Kal. We had our disagreements from time to time, but ultimately you tried hard and got things done. I'm surprised you lasted so long though, rumours of your demise have been around for some time. I get the impression it was a decision you thought long and hard about.

Re: Retirement
I'd better make sure that we still have things to keep you occupied until next year
I hope your heath doesn't suffer too much - the thought of exercise still makes me shiver.
Thank you for all you've helped us with (and will help us with before you leave ), and for putting your trust in me

The way you say that makes out that no one else does anything within the PA Team. For example, mig, Assassin or kloopy.
But anyway good luck Kal and hope you get well soon.

I don't do a lot of things - I do idle on IRC (student ftw ), keep a watch over the support department and try and sort out some development stuff.
I don't do almost all of the MH, apart from the odd case that gets given to me, any of the coding, graphics, a lot of the server stuff...
as for everything else, I'm not modding any of the major forums (though I keep an eye on PS, Strategy and PD the most, and have mod access on PS from being head of development), and I don't op in #planetarion.
so, there's a lot I didn't do!
Kal did some of the server stuff, talked a lot over with biffy and Geoff (basically Jolt) for example NDAs, the free round, and so on, and until very recently organised just about everything. He also helped out with the development, and showed me how to write out specs properly (my wakey-style essays aren't always popular :P)

Re: Retirement
Kal!
Didnt see this ever being something I would read about you. Im totally suprised.
Being someone who knows what a long term illness is like to suffer from, I really hope you recover soon and what ever it is, isnt going to be causing any long term effects. Do what they tell you to do and Im sure things will work out for the best. They are for me.
Good luck for a speedy recovery, take care of yourself.

Best of luck to you old friend.
