Well, it's been a good run. February 15th 2011, until February 21st 2014. In my time I've seen a lot. Some of the best gaming memories happened when I was in Regiments. People always say -- "NW is just a game", but truly, is it? Is it only a game if you spend hours a day doing it? Is it a game if you pay money to keep your group going? Is it only a game when you have 10s, if not 100s of followers? No. As sad as it may seem, NW is a lifestyle. A lifestyle we all chose to take, and a lifestyle that no one who has ever played NW will forget. How can you? How can I forget the love, the hate, and the banter that flies around these forums and the games? How can I forget the countless 1000s of hours pumped into this underplayed game?
Admittedly, I have done some rather reckless and stupid things in the past year. It amazes me, from being, dare I say it, certainly up there with the 'nice', 'funny', and 'popular' NW players, to spiralling down to becoming that (don't take this offensively, admins and mods) Cunt nobody liked. I suppose that's my fault somewhat, but it is a life lesson. I know I will regret saying it, but there are times I regret what I did. But, I feel I was misunderstood.
Over the past 3 years, I have accumulated many friends, which, unfortunately, won't be friends for life. Namely, SerbianWhiteEagles, Thorgrim, Saul, Vintage, Primus, Felix, Super, Lime, Stark (75th Stark), Magner, Curlyconnor, Chriseh and so on, and those more 'high' profile ones, like Malakith, Aztir and Diplex. Not counting the hundreds of others.
Although all but three of those people on that list have a permanent slot for me on their block list, I feel that I have made a significant impact, negative or positive, on their lives. To put it into perspective, over the past three years, I have recruited around 400 players, some of which still play with me 'till this day. I have been grateful to have the ability to inspire such feelings in people, even if they are negative.
Heck, I even had a term named after me -- Palferise. Apparently, it is when you join a regiment, get a high rank and leave. Now, even to this day, this sickens me. The two Regiments I have been told I palferised were the 23rd and the 75th. Now, to clear this up, in the 23rd, I was the Lt of the Light Coy, and basically all the officers left, and we tried to keep it going for another week, but we couldn't, and thus I left, but now, not naming any names, people blame me to this day for the 'destruction' of that Regiment. Now for the 75th, I was kicked for questioning an unnamed Captain why he was banning people for literally no reason.
Oh, and my dear Cenkris and Vixen. How could I forget? You see, being carpet-banned from all 15th and 77y servers restricts you somewhat. It amuses me how I went from being that legend who joined the 15th TS drunk, to being on their 'top 10 most wanted'. Funny.
In anycase, I suppose what I'll be remembered for, if anyone will, is being a posh twat, who enjoyed being a dick to everyone I crossed paths with, but I hope people will see that this is not actually me. Palfer isn't a dickhead, twat, who enjoys watching people suffer. However gay this will sound, I am actually a nice person, granted I have a temper, but doesn't everyone? Although things have been said, I cannot regret these words, I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.
In the words of many -- "he is like marmite, you love him or hate him. Most hate him".
I am personally sorry to Primus, Joseph Graham (Mackenzie), Felix, Posh, Cenkris, Vixen, Malakith, Curlyconnor, Super, Lime, Chriseh, Chieff, Stark, and whoever else I have angered or tormented in my time. I hope you all enjoy playing your games, I hope you all live long, fruitful lives.
My steam profile will now be open to all those who want to add me, abuse me, or whatever it is. The time has come to stop hiding behind the block button. To stop hiding behind the kick button, and face the music.
Palfy xx
