Hey Guys.... For once I will keep this relatively short and sweet ( phew i hear Ceras sigh;)). Its time FotP had some new blood, a gm who can commit the time you guys deserve to the guild. With this in mind, i have stepped down as gm, and given the position to someone who deserves it greatly, Mr Nyo. I could sit here for hours and write a long list of thankyou's, but the fact still remains everyone who has ever been in flames, is a part of what made the guild what it is today, so hugely successful and still the best place on Terenas to be Thankyou to everyone who has helped me keep the guild alive over the years, to all those of you who have put up with my odd way of doing things, and all of you who have become my "speshul" friends... you know who you all are:) Take care, and more importantly have fun..... Shells/Meylenne/Giz signing out

Good God... I'd started to think you were going to keep on forever.
Having been a GM I have absolutely no clue how you've done it this long Shells. Even given that you've been a bit semi-active for a while, you're going to leave less a hole and more a gaping chasm (with all respect to Nyo - Shells has just become a fixture).
Enjoy having some time with the pressure off, anyway.

Its hard to see you go, to call you a part of flames doesnt do it justice, to say that the guild wouldnt exist today without you is a tautology.
Dont be a stranger please do come talk occasionally, and should your situation change and you want to come back and play lightly you will be welcomed with open arms.
Should it change and you want your seat back its yours as soon as you ask for it, i am only keeping it warm. Because of this and as a tribute i will probably leave the GM title as it is.
You deserve your break, more than anyone. but if you find yourself longing for the game, for our crazy banter. we will be here and delighted to see you

Its been an honour being a member of Flames under your leadership and wish you the best. Don't be a stranger. Grats to Nyo on the new promotion, and don't let the power go to your head, so no plans for total world (of warcraft) domination

I've known you, as many in the guild have, for a very long time. You're an inspiration, welding a velvet glove filled with something weighty.
Seriously..its been a real pleasure knowing you.
Good luck to you and the family and may our paths cross sooner rather than later.

Ps. My biggest regret is that my last words to you were ... brb

That was pretty beautiful actually jaz. I liked the analogy with the velvet glove filled with something heavy. That's shells allright. Shells. You will be missed. a lot. I think we all kinda expect you to return though. It's either that or we start crying..

You're an inspiration, welding a velvet glove filled with something weighty. See, now I'm imagining her sitting there with a welder's mask trying to attach a glove to an anvil. ;D (Probably in order to hit either me, Cerb, Cris or Ulor with it. Or possibly Aray or Ceras. I didn't do it, pick them!)

Lol........ you say that Ben i get visions of that old promo video from the original Fame movie, the one with the woman who was a welder by day, and a dancer by night.... and yeah writing that down it sounds so wrong...
Thankyou Adrian, that is an incredibly sweet thing to say, fact is, i will miss you all, but i will still be on here.. so you haven't got rid of me that easily, i might even log in occassionally.. just to scare you all:)

Congratulations Nyo. I honestly couldn't think of a better person to take over the job (Besides me ofc ) On the other hand. Really sorry to see you go Mey, I found you a fantastic person to talk to and will miss you greatly.

Simple fact of the matter is that Meylenne leaves a hole in our guild that simply can not be filled..... Nyo is obviously the best successor but, stupid as it may sound, the sheer fact Meylenne is female....I dunno. I just liked having a female GM. it made flames stick out..allthough that said. our girl to boy ratio surely must have tipped over in the girly direction by now? Fact remains. Meylenne was and is something way beyond a gender dispute. Meylenne is..well to put it simply. Meylenne IS flames....you will be missed more than you can ever imagine.
We Love You.....

I think all this tribute stuff with the GM title is just a diversion from the real reason Nyo wants to be known as the Guildmistress.
On a side note when you lot realise that I'm the best candidate for GM. The ranks will be changed to the following...
The God Dam Daddy (Guildmistress) Grags's Beatch (Officer) Loot Grags didn't want (Raider) Useless (Member) Nub (Initiate) Scottish (Mouthy Slag)

Well I knew this was coming months ago however I still didn't expect it. Flames has been around for 5 years purely because you took on the responsibility to keep it going Shell. When olympus originally left me in charge along with vadek and kashim I couldn't see it being around when Kashim left for HH and I went to PDM. Some how it eventually ended up with you being leader, you kept it afloat for all these years, taking over from me a few times, and kept the right kind of people guilded within. Flames has and always will be an excellent social guild and I wanted to thank you for the numerous times you've kept it alive when nobody else would have. Good luck with everything. Flames has a great set of core players at the moment and Nyo is a worthy successor to take on the leadership crown. Just don't let Grags have any input eh rob
