ska/Ben_Schultz_11 has retired

[ska]

Last Map:

What I said on the map:

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, except when I tried, I went to the cupboard and I ran out of sugar and my neighbour wouldn't lend me any." That's the kind of day I had :(

I hope you enjoy this map, I put a lot of time and effort into it and it has a lot of flow potential but you can always take different paths and treat it like a standard action map if you'd like. Check my demo at the bottom of this page if you need help.

This should be my last map, since I got banned from the forums (I know there are new ones) and I have retired from highscoring as Ben_Schultz_11 altogether now. So this would be a fitting way to go out the way I started.

Thanks Lenny and Frets for playtesting this map

Dedicated to Conys who I miss infinitely

See bottom post for more thanks...

Bottom Post:
Thanks to all the legitimate players who challenged me and provided some exciting runs. From Trib4l, wedgie and clux right through to Mr_Lim, lookatthis and especially xaelar, who is not only an extremely skilful player but an excellent competitor. There are of course a lot of other players who know who they are and map makers too. There are much too many to mention. 

Thanks especially to Unreality for all his work and also for helping to prove my legitimacy and others!
Mare & Raigan obviously! =P
Thanks to the N community for these last 3 years, even if it was just 1 positive comment. Thanks! It means a lot.

Bye.

You guys deserve an explanation. So there you go.

[bluenin]

Goodbye, ska.

Good luck where ever life takes you.

[Riobe]

See ya man. Too bad, I was just starting to know you. =)

Bye. ;_;

[Lenny]

On one hand, this is sad. I only just got to start to know you and stuff.

On the other hand, you're not going that far. Keep in touch. :D

Jesus Christ on a pogostick, have we got some histrionic personality disorder up in this bitch or what?
"I've been deservedly banned from some forums that are going to be locked down any day now anyway, and I've decided to be a whiny bitch and retire from all N-related things entirely even though it's a complete non sequitur."
Boo-fuckity-hoo.
But I guess if you want to blow things completely out of proportion and leave a snivelling, butthurt last impression, I suppose that's entirely your prerogative.

[runningninja]

Bye.

Mate, I honestly don't care anymore that I was banned, I just used this an event which triggered my leaving; I thought well - I've been banned and I was going to retire soon anyway due to other non-metanet-related things which are going down so I may as well just leave. And I will - I am leaving for personal reasons, not because of a trivial moderating decision. How much more clearer do I need to make this? I just wanted this to be a low-key respectful farewell in style, which it is and nobody can take that away from me.

Goodbye all.

Goodbye all.

See you later. Enjoy your cognitive dissonance.

Now that's just a bit harsh.

Anyway, see you ska, you never really knew me, but I always admired you. Good luck in life.

[epigone]

Take care ska.

[Jiggerjaw]

I don't know what the hell happened to Ben. I knew this kid when he first came to Metanet. I helped him along and we criticized each other's works. He was cool, I was cool, we were cool. I don't know why he got banned. Frankly, I don't care why he got banned. I wish he hadn't dodged his ban and created the account ska. But, it was nice to have an old friend back. I dedicated a map to this fellow. He nominated me for a Dronie. Dude, what the hell? I don't even care what this is about, this community still likes you. We even -respected- you (which is way more than most of the cats here get), until you went batshit all over the old forums, through the Staff Application Thread, and the "Am I a Cunt" poll...what the hell were you thinking? Seriously, man, you fell. I don't know why you think you have to make a big scene about everything. We see you, ska, we see you, making a complete ass of yourself. We hear you, ska, we hear you whining about how nobody cares about you. ...we miss you, ska, we miss you being a normal, respectable citizen of our less-than-humble community. Unless you have a real reason to leave, this is horribly childish and you will get nothing but negative attention from it.
Bottom line: Peel your cock off the ceiling.

[isaacx]

you've probably never known me, but i really admired you, so farewell, and have a nice life

[blue_tetris]

This guy used to be cool. Then he went all tears.

He'll be back in a month with a new whiny post and something else to draw our attention back him.

It's a huge shame he had to become another one of those guys. I thought ska was kinda cool, if not irrepressibly moody.

[mam]

Ska didn't ever do anything wrong to me, and was great competition. I have no idea what he did, so I'll just say farewell...

[Lenny]

We even -respected- you (which is way more than most of the cats here get), until you went batshit all over the old forums, through the Staff Application Thread, and the "Am I a Cunt" poll...what the hell were you thinking?

Respect is an amazing thing to have on these forms. To be liked and respected by some of the admins here really helps. :D
Also, word of advice, to anyone who cares: never, ever, create a poll involving yourself. Especially comparing yourself to someone else. Speaking from person experience, it always ends up badly, and can taint your reputation. Note that topics about yourself aren't too bad, especially in places like "discussion" where you can talk about things, whatever those things may be.

So once again, bye Ben, and enjoy life... 'n' stuff.

[Condog]

Ahaha, he's actually leaving. I'll miss you ska, and I liked you, but this is just really childish.

[aids]

I didn't know you were Ben_Schultz_11 until the podcast.

adios. you were a good highscorer. we need more of those.

[Turtle]

Goodbye. See you in a month or so.

[Skyling]

I agree wholeheartedly with Tsukatu. Doing something like that on the old Forums is really, blatantly inexcusable, and I honestly don't see why others in the thread have not realized this. It seems to me like this guy is just trying to cover up whatever he did in a tear-jerking goodbye letter for the folks that haven't witnessed his other, more moronic (I'm actually not sure about that) departure.

Uhh, see you never, ska.

[xaelar]

adios. you were a good highscorer. we need more of those.

ska/Ben you idiot. I will miss you. Stop leaving.

[ToeFaceKiller]

Ahaha, yup, that sums it up =p I wish you wouldn't leave just because you made one stupid mistake. Look how many people like/respect you here! At least stick around the contest/highscore forum :D

[blue_tetris]

I don't like or respect him. And I'm blue_tetris.

But he shouldn't leave. That's silly.

[BNW]

I know you are good at highscoring, and that is it. I actually haven't even looked at the other forums yet.

I loved your maps, highscores, and other such things you posted about.

If you truly have personal things keeping you from here, then leave. Yet, if you think that this incident is the reason to leave, then you are wrong. Hopefully you will find time to highscore some more, maybe in a few contests or such.

[blackson]

You were a cool guy.

[MattKestrel]

Goodbye, Ill never forget you, whatsisname.
