Right back at you mate.
Let me give all of you a bit of history with regards to Notus and I. I first met this wonderful bloke on my intro thread, where we both discovered a shared interest in many different things and a personality very synergistic to our own. It didn't take us long to become good friends, and he was probably the first true friend I had here on the site. Notus was the one person who made me feel really welcome here from day one, and that list soon expanded to many others.
We got to talking over PM again and again over many different things, our current chat message is entitled "EV Training Guide" but is more like "General Chat." As I began to challenge the Reborn League, close to its demise, I gained the opportunity to talk in real time to this person who I'd only interacted previously with over the forums, and suffice to say our friendship only strengthened. He was one of the only people to consistently watch my short lived league challenge, and he shared in my moments of jubilation, ingenuity, and defeat.
Then one day I decided to challenge him to a battle between friends. I'd seen he had amassed a fair number of badges, but I considered myself to be an above average player so I was confident. What followed was one of the closest series of battles I've ever played, he'd answer me win for win, and force me to make tough decisions on what was really necessary for victory. I responded in kind and we found ourselves evenly matched in every tier, all the way to challenge cup. This sparked the beginning of a long history of battles between the two of us, and each one was guaranteed to be worth watching. When he asked me when I'd started playing I told him "around the start of the year (2014)" to which he responded "that's the same as me!"
So when it comes to a time like this, what do I say to my Brazilian (almost) clone who's keen on sailing?
1. Great work coming this far.
2. Good luck for the future.
3. Nice hat. What do you mean it's time to let it go?
4. Thank you so much for everything you've given me here. For me Reborn wouldn't have been the same without you.
5. Keep in touch, neither of us are gonna let our friendship die because you might not be making it back here very often from now on.
