...Tell them I said something...

[mibi]

Cheerio, and goodbye.

I'm afraid I have come to the end of my ConquerClub tenure, at least for the foreseeable future. It's been an enjoyable eleven months.

Today, President Bush released his federal budget proposal for the fiscal year 2009, which may not matter to some, but analyzing and displaying this information is actually my livelihood over at TheBudgetGraph.com. Creating the poster takes about two months of hard work (yes I've been on vacation for 9 months) and then promoting it will keep me busy for a month thereafter. I would love to say that I will be back to CC in three months time, but I have recently made some exciting changes to my business plan which will hopefully keep my busy through out the year.

That being said, I am still committed to following through on my ongoing projects as time permits.

Battle for Iraq and Supermax: I will keep updating these (on the weekends most likely) until they are quenched. I am really excited about these two maps and think they will be a welcome addition to the roster.

Skyscraper!: I really will attempt to see this through completion as it has got so much support from the forums and everyone PM'ing me. This is quite a task and updates will be very slow I'd imagine, but skyscrapers aren't built in a day.

Arms Race!: My idea for an ideal small map will be left in WidowMakers quite capable hands.

Epoch: While I still love the idea for this ambitious project, I am keeping it on indefinite permafrost until I can revisit it properly. Given that the usergroup never really found it's footing, if I return to this project I will helm it until completion. So the I will be shutting down the usergroup. However, I will finish the video tutorial series and post them in the forums when its finished.

So thats it, I have a couple more games to finish up and thats it. In addition to an increased work load, I think I am suffering from acute community fatigue. Making maps was a great way to use my idling skills, but it has served its purpose very well, and I am no longer idling. I might check back in once a week, but given that I have barely been around these past weeks anyways, the forum topics just don't seem to hold their appeal.

But I can be reached directly at fivesix (-at-) gmail.com for this or that. Many thanks to all the lovely people in AADOMM, I will always smile knowing I gave you guys the most ridiculous name, google it some time eh.

adiós compañeros,
mibi

you'll be back when the addiction kicks in. the average map maker can only survive for 7 days without taking a dose of the foundry

[yeti_c]

Good luck with all that you do.

create what? that budget thing is silly. there are so many terits, the bonuses are all screwed and not to mention the bottle neck represented by the flag.

aslo it looks too much like the space map. rip-off.

oh and the theme is bad. who cares about conquering housing for the elderly? it's worth a measly 0.575 billions and it has a 23% decay rate.

[gimil]

I really should move this BUT ill leave it here for the publicity and a sign of respect to losing a great cartographer.

Goodbye mibi

[yeti_c]

great cartographer.

Word.

Dim...i am going to challenge you over this one...but i think this goes a bit too far. I think you owe mibi an apology.

If this is mibi's livelihood and he does well from it, then we should respect him for that, and not runaround saying it is silly.

you are well aware that people create a living from all sorts of things....so get down off that goddamn Romanian high horse of yours.

I wish mibi all the very best in his chosen field of earnings and business.

Good luck mibi, and yes we will probably see you back from time to time.

Its humor, he didnt acctually mean the poster was silly

[Unit_2]

Is that you?

[Incandenza]

Good luck with your budget mapping, mibi, and come back soon... the whole CC community owes you a debt for all the fine mapmaking you've done. Personally, I can't wait until I can crack some heads in Iraq.

[gimil]

Is that you?

THats our main man there

[edbeard]

I did gimil, and it says "create what? that budget thing is silly". The poster is implied IMHO.
i am well aware that it is Dim's bad attmept at humour, but I still think it is uncalled for.
Why...it's like calling into calling into DiM's hotel and asking him for "Tongue a la Fang, with Blood Soup".

Sorry to see you go mibi. You're post's always lighten the mood around here, and you've taught me a whole bunch of new techniques in Photoshop. I hope you do drop in from time to time and check up on us. You will be missed my friend.

[DiM]

[mibi]

[The1exile]

"Tongue a la Fang, with Blood Soup".

I would assume he's suggesting that all romanians are transylvanians.

Sucks to see you go mibi. You've done some great stuff for CC.
