After 4226 games, jstkdn is ready for a permanent break. Leave the game and TAFKADD. This is however not goodbye.

I simply have to make a choice, to chat and message with this community. Or play a lot of rediculous/impossible cases every day. Just because I enjoy pestering Skyler, staying around 1 million ahead. Which has been for a long time the only goal left for me in this game, with this completely built detective other then the last 2 contacts I did not have the energy to get anymore.

Frankly, nothing would made me happier (well sleuth wise anyway), is if my respected friend Skyler dethrones me, as I have done to my other respected friend Bella.

A lot of people have accused me for being quiet, or missing me on the board. This is because playing games took all the time I had.
So....I am going have fun to rebuild a new inexperienced (whom incidentally looks, and sounds a lot like me) on easier cases, which means then I still have the time to talk to the many friends and cool people in the community.

I used to live on Sleuth, when I went on sick leave. It was the only thing I was able to do at the time. So I am glad the game was in my life. More important the really cool people and friends I met here. Though I am ready to part with playing the game for hours at end, I am not with this community. Nor am I ready to stop playing all together, but just with moderation. I am afraid I am too compulsive to be able to do this on jstkdn.

The majority of my time online now has to be spent studying. I am going to take several courses in MBTI and NLP, so I can make a carreer change happen within the year. I am tired of my senior manager corporate life. :(

So on the road....on being a healthier and above all happier person.

I will join the boards on jstkdn still, just to avoid confusion.

Perhaps I will do a bit more moderating too. hahahhaah

Thanks all for the really kind words!

DaRu....I am not becoming a PI....that won't be happening unless Blaise Joshua starts a second office in Amsterdam. He is trying to get me in to his profession.

What I do want do is becoming an advisor/trainer/professional coach. I always had this as one of my tasks, training managers. But what I want to do now is stop being manager myself, and spend the time training or advising others.

I'm glad we are not going to HAVE to miss you since you will still be doing everything that means to most to us except pushing Skyler. I think you are making the right choice in sharing your time with the community. You can always go back and play at leisure if you have too much time on your hands - in the meantime, I'm glad we will still have you around chatting and looking over our shoulders!

Oh my I'm about to cry. I can see where the challenge has ended for you by beating all the records. I know what you mean by harder cases consuming so much time. Best of luck w/everything. PM when you get your new character created -k-

lol, I know why I thought PI. When I hurried through the messages, and after reading the one by Blaise, where it says "you need to be a PI", I thought he was saying you'll make a great PI, because you're considering it...gees, leave it to me...lol. I'm such a silly willy. Anyway, you'll be great at whatever decide on.
