So, maybe the gin is making me maudlin, but hell, Majken extended an olive branch quite a long time ago, so I guess it's my turn.

I just want to take a moment to say how awesome trout has been lately, and how pleased I am with those of you who are still with us.

Since discovering that EoFF isn't blocked at work anymore, I've had a blast here. You've all been more awesome than words can describe.

I've had some bad history here since my first time leaving. All of that has been undone this time around. You've all kicked a mountain of ass the size of the Death Star and for that I salute you.

If anyone left here thinks there are any residual hard feelings from the past, set that aside. Del Murder was the first to correct my old-time rage in Vana'diel, but the rest of you still remaining have followed suit. I might still be a bit cranky at 'Kishi and Shlup, but the former will never see this, the latter couldn't possibly care, and the rest of you are officially cool in my books.

I don't think language is a sufficient medium in which to describe how chuffed I am at how EoFF has evolved over the years. I may miss people like Melted Snowman and Chickencha, but you who have taken their places do them great honour.

Take a bow, EoFF. You have earned it. Slainte mhath!
