I'm making an exception to my "no-posting-at-work" rule here so appreciate it dammit! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
It sounds like you are getting a great start on the rest of your life. I can say with complete certainty that natural selection wouldn't have been the same without you, and I can only assume that the same will be true for Quake IV. (You should sneak a wall_lab easter egg in somewhere <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) Thanks for all your hard work. It has made many a lazy afternoon more enjoyable.
I hope you are able to keep posting here. We mapping forum goons could certainly use more advice from someone as undeniably 1337 as yourself.
Best wishes and good luck in all that you do.

Well I don't normally post in these for sometimes I know the person far too well, but I never did get to know you much, because I'm a nublet. So... with that being said.

Ha! Another one off to the gaming industry... Well, good luck over there! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
As with Nem, I somehow doubt you'll need luck considering your previous works, but good luck anyways. Eclipse and Veil are model maps for NS, everything about them is just excellent.
I've never bought a Quake game but that'll have to change once Q4 comes out <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> (As long as you guys don't pull a HL2 or a Doom3 with it...)

I feel the need to post some form of congratulatory post in this thread, but the most I can think of to say is that I found Eclipse to be NS' most easily-learned map, and I am happy for you for your marriage and job. All stuff you've probably heard other people say.
Must come up with something at least reasonably unique...
Ah, yes, here's one. MonsE isn't around right now, so I suppose I'll fill in for him: May none of the fruits of your labour grow up to be whiny Sunny-D drinking, bicycle-helmet wearing teenangsters. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
<!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> What is the NS community's significant loss, is Raven's gain. Good luck at your new job and may you make some kick arse maps.
To be honest, i've never really spoken to you much...
<short story for sentimental value> I was introduced to NS in the 1.03/1.04 days by a good friend - he told me of an awesome new mod, and I ran upstairs to download it - 4 hours later (gg 64K isdn) we booted up a lan game and he showed me the ropes - it was on ns_eclipse
I fell in love with the game, and with the map - it's a fantastic piece of work, and I'll never forget learning how to command / onos / fly around it. </story>
Best of luck in the future with the job, marriage and life in general.
I think this sums it up perfectly: <!--QuoteBegin-edgecrusher+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (edgecrusher)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->What is the NS community's significant loss, is Raven's gain.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well KFS I hope you have fun for the next stage of your life with Raven Software and your new wife Maggie. Its gonna be the best of times and the worst of times too. I must stick in tough out any bad winds and you will see the good again. Don't give up on your dreams when the boat starts rocking.
your maps are awesome and hopefully the guy taking them over will maintain them at a high standard like you did <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
