I thought I’d make a topic relating to lost but not forgotten empires players. Anyone know what happened to @Garanwyn ? Enjoyed reading his posts.

Relating to Garanwyn
Welcome back from hols/court/maze running G.
It’s been a nightmare.
[38rsss]
Zephy has been chopping up threads like a psychopath with a master sword
Kerridoc ran out of moustache oil
And Rook got into a fight with the dirty cats from behind the lockups and had to have a tetanus shot
[source]
Worst of all, Petri fell asleep on his keyboard and every tile was green for two days.
Also another of the Mods who stepped back, Kerridoc:
Hey everyone,
I have been giving a lot of thought to where my time disappears–why am I getting less work done than I need to? Why have I stopped reading voraciously? Why have I gained weight? The root cause is clear–I’m spending too much time staring at screens in non-productive ways and getting too little joy from doing so.
I’ve also been asked by the new Climate Council to help plot a course for Maine to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2045 and 100% renewable energy by 2050. These goals…
And most recently the departure of Mariame one of the greatest content creators:
Hello everyone,
I decided to stop the game after 2 years.
Thank you very much. I wish you all good things.
I had lots of very important meetings, real friends.
Mariamné “Cookie” Jax
PS : I will try to publish Teltoc Event in january 2020.

There are also many Regulars who have left at some stage or other. Some permanently, others temporarily:
Anchor from 7DD left & came back:
GryphonKnight retired from the game but still lurks & posts in the forum
KLynMayhem quit for a short while… dont think it was really a quit
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this game, and don’t ask why
It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in life
It’s something quite predictable, but in the end it’s right
I enjoyed Empires and Puzzles for a time
So bookmark all those soundclouds, I posted this past year
Be sure to Listen to them laughing with tears
Chatting in line, sure was fun by a mile
For what it’s worth, it was worth all the …

Thank You @Guvnor , it seems he just disappeared after returning. I miss @Kerridoc as well but did know about it. @Mariamne leaving is certainly a bummer. Her infographics will, however, live on inside my phone for many moons to come. Thanks again

Another who is well missed is @Jedon who has had his own battles to fight this year.
Dear community, friends and family:
I am sad to inform you that, due to very bad medical conditions I wont ve able to keep active as before, if ever can be online. I am through a new experment treatment to try test if I can be cured of colon tumor that looks bad as cancer in first levels.
Pray for me and wish me luck.
I will try to keep up till its no way to handel.
Yours,
Jedon
here is a tribute to Jedon.
Note: he is still fighting

@nevarmaor Why Yes, I certainly remember @Jedon , even when he was going by a different handle and I will admit some of his posts back then got under my skin as they were complaining about the many injustices of rng. Until later, when I found out the rl injustices he was personally dealing with, well lets just say my irritation softened a great deal. Here’s wishing the best for @Jedon in his fight, my thoughts and prayers are with him.

I have read some of his earlier posts and I’ll say he certainly mellowed with age

The essential and inimitable @brobb has gone on hiatus twice.
Curiosity may kill the cat, but I’m just interested to make sure that the moggy with the moustache is alive and kicking.
Thanks

And that charlatan bard character did a disappearing act, too.
Hello everyone,
I did an audit of my social media usage for the last 24 hours and saw that I read over 200 messages, not to mention hundreds of posts, which is now normal for me.
I have been thinking about what impact this has on my mental health and my children; I realized that I have not played a guitar for a year or read a novel for two years. I also noticed that my children now have to call for me four or five times before I notice them, I check my phone at night and in the morning, in chu…

The legendary players Dator and UCLAPack stepped back, and then returned
Have dator and ucla quit E&P?
Listening and learning from these two on YouTube was a highlight on a weekly basis. Their banter and fun way of explaining everything was definitely one of the ways I really started getting into this game. The food analogies for the hero’s were brilliant! Burrito onoddle etc bleeping aegir
But looking thru cp line up, they are no longer there? Is this permanent? Or a break?

Also the legendary @Mai , the creator of the original farming guide for Season 1. I still use her spreadsheet when I require a quick reference for S1 levels.
// You can see my data here: E&P – Loots and Stats - Google Sheets
// For a list of lvls to farm, check this guide .
This guide is based on my personal experience and data that I myself collected (link below). I am aware that supposedly there’s other people working on that as well, and I don’t mean to overstep, but I’m not the type that waits for things to happen and I decided to do it myself. I’m sharing here my findings. One last thing, English is not my first language, so please ignore my m…

Have been in a melon collie mood. Glad to see the topic could bring some sweet reminisces. I recall with fondness many of the individuals mentioned. Thank you.
