Rampage, Signing Off
I don't know where to start this off.  And with the community growing like this and me being vacant at HLP a lot of the time, I wouldn't expect everyone to know who I am.

I stole this account from my father when he decided to quit HLP after losing his teaching position a couple of years ago in order to provide more for his family.  This account has a bit of history behind it.  My father was one of the first people at HLP (year 2001) who moved over months before VBB shut its doors.  And looking at some of the other people from that era, a lot of them have posts in the thousands, if not tens of thousands.  But I'm still here at the humble hundreds.  Honestly, I don't post a lot and find spamming forums to be undesirable.

My father and I have made several contributions to pre-FSO Freespace 2, and most of them were models.  Most of them were trashed but a few still remain in the hands of the Inferno team, so you should see some of my or my father's work when the campain is done (mostly Shivan strike crafts).  My father started a short-lived campaign named Attempted Suicides, which died about a year later.  The unfinished campaign (many missions were finalized already) still sits on my computer back home, but I have no intentions of releasing them anytime soon.

So what is this about?  There's close to no meaning to introducing myself anymore.  I'm sad to report that I myself will leave HLP permanently.  Being a student at Johns Hopkins University is draining to say the least, and I just don't have the time anymore.  But I will swing by and check on the progress of FSOpen and Inferno from time to time, and play your campaigns as you complete them.

I have to thank many of my comrades here and former comrades who have left HLP before me (Venom, as my father remembers him, etc.).  Kudos to your work and support for making Freespace 2 alive and better than ever!  Keep up the good work!  I'll leave you to your n00b swarm here.  Try not to get eaten alive!

Oh yeah, my father is teaching again!  This is Rampage (Son of), signing off.  Permanently.

Later, man. Enjoy Real Life™ and all that HLP can't offer. Just don't forget to drop by once in a while, eh? ;)
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Indeed, it was good having you around - if only for a short while. Even if you feel like all your time is being taken away, don't be surprised if you find yourself casually cruising through the net one day and stumbling across your bookmark of us. Drop us a post every now and then, okay?

All the best to you at university. :yes:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

awww man, be sure to stop by every week or so; just for 5 minutes, even if it's only to check your PMs or something, so we can all still keep in touch

but best of luck with life :)

Good Luck and Godspeed, Pilot!!!
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.
