Fyron is leaving Space Empires for good

[Combat Wombat]

April Fools

Sorry for getting everyones hopes up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif j/k

[Yimboli]

I doubt we'll live to see the day he stops contributing =)

You definitely had me for a second.

[Renegade 13]

Not even April yet.

[Jack Simth]

That depends on what time zone you are in....

[Atrocities]

Dude, this is no Aprils fools joke. He is leaving. In fact his web site at Spaceempire.net (http://www.microsoft.com) has already been sold to another company.

I guess it was bound to happen given his comments about Space Empires V last week on IRC.

FYRON - Ya SEV with its ultra violent anti peace message just conflicts with how I now view the world.
ATROCITIES - What?
FYRON - Ya I am leaving this community and moving to a hippy camp in southern france.
ATROCITIES - What?
FYRON - I sold the se.net name to another company, some big wig software firm that wants to aquire all rights to space empires franchise.
ATROCITIES - What?
FYRON - Ya screw you all, I am going home to france!

As you can see, this is no joke. Fyron is serious as fart sniffing liberal at a methane convention.

CW's location says Minnesota, and at the time of his post it was not April yet in his time zone. That's all I meant by it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Of course, North America/South America are the last major areas to change over.

Ultra violence?

That's obviously a joke, since we all know SE5 is a Dating Sim.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I saw it, I thought 'That thread isn't even made by Fyron' and concluded that it was probably a joke.

Didn't think about the date, since I don't generally notice those things.

[Daynarr]

What?

[Fyron]

Hmm... this is news to me. Guess I had better get going!

[ZeroAdunn]

Wait, SEV is a dating sim? Maybe I won't give up on the SE franchise afterall.

[Alneyan]

Southern France eh? That would be my area then. Fyron, please tell me when your plane is scheduled to arrive, and I'll pick you up at the airport. You will love France! Trust me!

Oh, you might wish to bring your heavy weaponry. The hippy camp is probably my university, but it has been locked up for the past four weeks, so you might need to... you know, use deadly force. It'll all be fine after that, though.

[Rollo]

SJ, you are so going to get busted for violating the NDA!

But now that the cat is out: yes, SE V is a dating sim. Prequel to SE 10: The population growth sim.

[Atrocities]

Damn hippies! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Steeling Fyron away from us!

I wanted to post it before I went to sleep http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Caduceus]

I understand Fyron, I was informed of a rumor that I was leaving my job earlier this week. I took the rest of the day off "looking for work" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Atrocities]

Man what a slow day today has been for these forums. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif No wonder Fyron is leaving.

bon chance mon ami

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Don't worry - April fools joke.
