I have thought about this long and hard for the last several months and have come to my decision. I am retiring from {MOB}. My reasons are pretty simple and boring but I will post them anyhow.

MONEY! the root of all evil As anyone who's ever been in any clan before knows, money is ALWAYS an issue. Some members donate all of the time, some donate some of the time and some donate none of the time. This is not a knock in any way to any of our members. We all have real lives outside of the clan and not everyone can afford to contribute as much as they would like. This is typical of any clan. It would then be up to me to cover what the donations didn't. I was okay with this for a while but it's just become to burdensome for me.

TIME! I don't really have the time to play as much as I would like. As most of you know, after MOHAA I pretty much retired from competition all together as I definitely did not have the hours to spend practicing. But now between work and the family it's hard for me to play at all some nights. I just don't feel "right" running a clan and not even having the time to play with our members.

So time and money pretty much sums up why I am retiring.

I've had some AWESOME times with MOB. MOHAA was the first online game that I have ever played. I'll never forget the time I said "Let me try this thing called multi-player". It was an awesome experience. I started playing a lot on a server called "I Love Lucy", a gay name but a great server. Then I moved on to a server called Shred Co. This was an awesome server and it was from here {MOB} came to be. Clan Killa started {MOB} with a few of his personal friends as kind of a joke. (MOB stands for Money Over Bitches) When I received a positive response from Clan when I asked if I could join I was absolutely thrilled. That was around the beginning of the summer of 2002, now here we are more than 3 years later!

I have had so many amazing times in {MOB} that I could go on forever about them. I've made a lot of very good friends while in {MOB} (Probably more enemies though ) Some I hope will stay friends for a life time.

There are some people that I need to say a few words to:

Druid - I LOVE YOU ya bastard! I cannot tell you enough how much you mean to me. That might sound gay but I don't care. Without Druid, {MOB} would never be what it is today, shit without Druid {MOB} never would have lasted this long! Druid stuck by me during some very difficult times and for that I am forever grateful. We have become very good friends and I hope we continue our friendship for many years to come.

Casino, Big Dick Daddy, Ktulu & Cypher - After the split with TLD you guys stood behind me (easy now ) and with {MOB} - It took a lot of balls but you all did it and for that I will be forever grateful to all of you. You guys are all great friends.

NastyNate - You stoner! I still can't beleive your getting married to a woman. I was so sure that you were gay.. I love you man!

BigP - You will always be "dick" to me. I hope we will continue our friendship.

Stockguy - You were a real asset to our team and a HUGE part in {MOB} becoming #1 again after the split. I know you'll stay in touch with me just so you can talk to Mafia Princess!

To the rest of the guys - active and retired - Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU!

I could go on forever with this stuff and probably will be replying to myself 100 times as things come to mind but that's it for now.... but there's two more people that I have to thank:

To Mafia Princess and my little buddy Nicolas: I love you both so much. Thank you sooooooo much for putting up with all my time away from you guys while I was either playing or doing something involving "the clan." You guys totally ROCK! You were always 100% supportive and understanding. Hmmm.. then again you told me not to retire from {MOB}.... is there something I should know about? Seriously, thank you.

BTW - I am not disappearing (Sorry to those that are disappointed ) I will definitely be around posting here and there. And you can always get me on xfire at mobrealdeal or yahoo at mob_realdeal.

{MOB} isn't dead yet. Some of the guys are working on trying to keep this boat afloat. I will of course help them as much as I can to make that possible, if that is the direction they decide to go.

PEACE!

No bullshit, I love you man. You have been a tremendous friend that I will not soon forget.

Give the Princess my love and take care of yourself.

Cypher

Life > Internet. Sad but true.

Thank you real for running such a great clan for so long. I really enjoyed getting to know you, and being a part of {MOB}.

See you around.


Good luck to you and your family!!

See ... I knew I would end up replying to this many times..

Saucy - I totally did not mean to leave you out, I love you man! You are the most mature 16? year-old that I have ever met and I consider you great friend. We've had many a nights on XFIRE shooting the shit. You're also from NY so your definitely cool in my book.

Cypher - you know I love you too. I hope I was of some help to you during your difficult times, I tried to help anyhow. Please - hands off Mafia Princess though

Silver - You ROCK! You need to give me a call again at... what was it 4:30am! NOT! Seriously, give me a buzz and let me know how you're doing. We need to talk!

Bargod - I feel like I've known you forever. I think you've been around MOB since the start. You're an awesome dude!

Bullet - You too have been around since forever. Shit, I still remember your FIRST POST post was all in caps You're one of the best!

Little Old Man - What can I say? You've always been there for me. Almost like a second father.. and he's even older than you! I love you!

well, that's something i didn't expect but i can't believe you didn't give me thanks for keeping your forums alive and i know you love me

Reject, In another post, I will list of all the people that I cannot stand. Look for your name in that post
