Hi DEEJAYKEG  Im sorry to hear you are giving up the gaming and have decided to retire from it but I understand your reason and wish you the very best always.

Your membership here will continue so that if you ever login you can see how the rest of us idiots are.

Ive been asked to make a retirement from >XI< medal by Phuckitman which I instantly thought was a great idea and you will be our first recipient of it.

I also went through our logs to find out where your signature had gone and was able to find it and put it back on your profile.

The thought behind the medal was a golden shield with >XI< on it and yours for keeps. 

 

I wish you the very best and thankyou for your long commitment to >XI<

Best Regards

Rockape

Very sorry to hear this buddy, I hope all things get better for you and that they work out.  Sometimes one door closes for another to open, this is probably the case right now

[HudsoN]

sorry to hear about your health, and it's a shame i didn't get to know you. but all the very best.

you never know what and when things can happen.  But i can say >XI< will never leave you in the cold and feel alone even if your not gaming. Take care hope it all works out for you.

[CplMOFO]

Take care M8! Wish you the best and yes, do what makes you feel good about yourself.

[CrazyGirl]

Sorry to hear about your health issues..but everyone is right.. take care of yourself first....I hope things get better for you 

[DEEJAYKEG]

Thank you all for the very kind words and, also, Rockape, for the new medal!

I'm sorry @Markoff but I don't command the Enterprise any more - we gave our share away to another enthusiast in 2019 - so, if you see her around Oxford, I shan't be on her.

I did end last year with some good news during the pandemic - I got the results of a 24-hour ECG I had recorded a year previously.  No, they don't hurry in the NHS!  The doctor described my heart as "good".

Many of you will be aware that, following a cardiac arrest in October 2018, I suffered an acquired brain injury, firstly described as a stroke but, after a formal complaint about my lack of treatment, modified to a hypoxic brain injury.  Basically, this means my brain was deprived of oxygen for 15 minutes causing permanent damage.  I had to stand down from Admin duties as my perception of reality was different to an uninjured person's and I was prone to seeing things.  I was provided with no therapy or rehab to assist me and my online games proved invaluable in measuring how badly I had been affected.  I was half as good as I was pre-cardiac arrest but I thought I could improve with further practice.  Sadly, this has not been the case and I am just serving as a slow-moving target to my fellow players.  Like my daily Scrabble playing online, that I gave up last year, I must step away from the battlefield now and spend my time on more enjoyable and productive pursuits that are less destructive to my battered ego.  This understanding has come slowly and only with the help of Headway, The Brain Injury Association of which I am now a "Friend".

I would like to thank you all for your friendship and understanding as I have fought this personal battle.  However, it is one I cannot win so I must go gracefully.  I am not hanging up the tags, having worn them for over a decade - 11 years this month - but you will not be seeing me in the games servers much if at all.

Farewell.

DEEJAYKEG>XI< it looks like @ROCKAPE came up with a great design for your "Retired Member" Tag. You are the first person to receive this Honor and when I say that I really mean it. You are still a Member of the XI Clan and Family and always will be. I have a little idea how diminished skills in game can be frustrating, I am dealing with Nerve Damage from a Auto Accident while at work that was not my fault and after about 90 minutes of gaming my hands just don't want to cooperate and it gets tough to keep playing and by the end of a weekend 3 to 4 hour session my hands are in horrible pain and it wasn't like that before the crash. Keep in mind that almost everyone who plays COD2 gets the Senior Discount anywhere we ask for it without having to show ID. Take care and please stop in now and then to let us know how you are doing.
