Pulling out
« on: May 29, 2021, 11:29:00 AM »
This may be long or short , but as of now I must pull out . My pc is dead and I haven't the money or the patience to fix or get a new one. So I must leave. It has been a great pleasure flying and tanking with all of you. I have enjoyed working the AvA for the past nine years off and on, Especially running tank wars!  This game has been a big part of my rehab from depression and a break from all my medical problems. I have made some great friends here and
i will appreciate all of them!

   Please be safe and do well . I hope to one day come back if my situation changes.
 Until then, Take care of yourselves and each other!

  Clear skies to you all
 Shipper/Chris

Hang in there, Shipper, things will come together.  Thanks for all the work you’ve done in AvA.  We’ll all be looking for you sooner, rather than later.

I know that is what she wanted, but you should still wear a hat.  :P

You know where your kibble is.  You'll be back. :D

Shppr, so sorry to hear.  You’ve always been a great friend and a worthy adversary, especially on Thursday nights.  Thanks for your dedication to the AvA.  Hopefully, your health and PC situation will improve quickly and you’ll be back in here where you belong.

All the best, my friend!  :salute

Sorry to hear about your computer and having to leave because of it. I hope to see you back sir!

Thank you and Jaeger for putting so much work into things in the AvA. I’ve only done the Thursday night Tank Wars a couple times, when time allows I’ll definitely join in. Was a blast the couple times I did.

Also sorry to hear that depression and medical problems are plaguing you.  The two definitely go hand in hand in my experience. I too am having both at the moment with the death of one my very closest friends.

Please PM me if you would like to. My brother was murdered in the home I grew up in 1997 when I was away at college. So it’s not my first go around with this sadness, grieving and depression.

Wishing that you start feeling better soon!

Sounds like we are losing someone who wants to play but can't due to a busted pc

Shppr01 wants to play and with his involvement with the game I think the AH family should try to help.

How can we get him a new computer?

Any ideas anyone? Money or computer parts?

Shppr01 are you in the states?

What is broken and what is needed to get you back in the game?
