A feather -> A whole farm of chickens
There are a number of weird threads, some with false information and speculation, some with good guesses, and some who perform pure magic with words.
And, a few things need to be said.
1: Do not make Jolt / SimTech the badguys now. They purchased a struggeling Planetarion to give it a second chance, and have made an effort in keeping it alive and taking it further. If not for them, there would not be Round 9, 9.5 or PaX. And from where I sit, Jolt will provide you with a Round 11 as well, allthough I do not know the details of what, how, when, who etc.
The point is, noone is so special he can not be replaced by someone better, and so is the case with me. I promise, someone will come along and fill my position, and probably better than I have done too. PA will not die unless you all let it die. And Jolt is not going to sit back to watch their game die, that is for sure. Give them a little time, a little benefit of doubt, and I think you will find there are forces within PaTeam and the community to take this further.
2: I will not be pushed into a talk about technicalities with contractual details in a contract between SimTech and myself, but know that there are no ill feelings between us. They do not owe me a penny, because the contract stated that salary would be capped by the actual profits, and in such a respect, Jolt has been generous, dynamic and not hard to talk to. My wording in my leaving post was bad, and I apoloise, I did not intend any harm to Jolt or any of their employees. It was just that the original contract had some very different numbers, and was changed dramtically after several months of work. But we accepted the terms, and that makes it my own responsibility.
So, no ill feelings, no friendships broken, and I seriously hope PA will stay alive and well under Jolt / Community supervision.
3: I have not been reachable the last days, as I needed some time AWAY from it all. Needless to say, this is not without emotion for me, PA has always been "my baby", and it will take a little while to get used to the idea that I am no longer involved. Not to worry, I am not planning a comeback or anything, I just need some time away from it all while all my energy goes into finding a good job with a stable regular paycheck. (:
4: Good luck to MrBrick, who has been appointed Creator now. And do belive me when I say, you couldn't be in better hands.
Good luck to everyone, I will miss you all.

Re: A feather -> A whole farm of chickens

Spinner = Planetarion, so when you leave, its no longer PA.

Re: A feather -> A whole farm of chickens
I do not exactly know how to express what I am going to try now, but this is as good as it will get.
Planetarion has had a major impact in my life, all the way from round 1. I owe the game and the community a great deal of real life friends, a more then lovely girlfriend (since 2 yrs now) and times of both great joy and great sadness. This all would not have happened or even been possible without the years of hard work by you and the others. You have put everything you had into your dream and saw it evolve beyond anybodies wildest imaginations, and saw it slowly fade after.
But what will never fail or break is the community that formed around the game, the friends people made because of this and the great times we all have had and will have together.
For this I and many more with me, thank you.
I sincerely hope you find a new job soon and your life gets back on track.
The only think that is left saying is the hardest.
Goodbye Christian "Spinner" Lassem, may the winds blow into a direction that favours you.
There will allways be a place for you in this community,
Respect,
Shadow1980

Re: A feather -> A whole farm of chickens
Cheers Spinner.
You can always tell the quality of a game by the number of people who enjoy playing it, and judging by the thousands who play PA every day, I think that's one f*cking amazing game you came up with.
Good luck with your new job and I hope, just maybe, you'll carry on playing PA and come to visit us every now and again so that we know we are being watched over.
And just think in 200 years time you'll be considered a genius for having predicted the invention of the warpgate!! lol

Re: A feather -> A whole farm of chickens
Nice worlds Spinner. (if it was infact spinner that made the post. lol , wouldn't be hard for Jolt to post in his name here. :P)
but no mather what. PA is most likely dead without Spinner. nobody else will fight for it (nobody else with any say/power atleast)
damn.. and I hoped PA would pull through.
