Jan 2013 - Well, it would appear i am both a liar and a hypocrit :)

Summer 2012
Sorry folks, must retire for real this time. It has been a wonderful experiment with the world of e-gaming. I have learned a lot about my culture and myself from our hours and hours of mutual digital destruction and developed a deep empathy for addicts of all kinds. But at the end of the day, I would rather read books in my spare moments, although I will miss many of you very much indeed.

Mar 2012 - keeping it real at 2-3 active games :)
GD has inspired me to take my own shot at ranking the top ten best weewarriors, in my experience over the past 3 years:

1) Rosenstern&Guildencrantz
2) Whatyousay
3) Stirling (AKA Mapmaker)
4) Juffe
5) Jeye
6) General_Death
7) Riipperi
8) Leelar
9) Rahl (AKA Mercury)
10)kain7

Nov 2011: Yippee! I've been able to keep my number of active games down to 2-3 since coming back this summer = my addiction councilor says I can play :)

May 2011: Just popped in to say hello and apologize for disappearing in the middle of things a couple of months ago. In the middle of a big project and got over my head. Sorry Weewarriors, but I better resume my weebreak or risk messing up this important endeavour.

friends can find me here: ajdmccann(at)gmail(dot)com

i don't check that very often though...

Feb 2011:

Hmmmmm. I guess that didn't last very long, now did it? Well, Darkbee is back, what else can I say?

December 2010:

Well, well, well my wee-buddies... I have been spending too much time plotting your digital deaths of late. It is getting in the way of work and family.

I will miss some of you a great deal. Fun times with smart and interesting folks. I fear that this time is for good, but who knows? If you see me round these parts before, say, June 2011, feel free to give me heck. Need to kick the habit before contemplating a moderated return :)

In the meantime, as I've said before: IT HAS BEEN PURE PLEASURE TO PLAY WITH SUCH FINE FOLKS (ESP MY NEW FRIEND GD) FROM ALL OVER THIS BEAUTIFUL LIVING EARTH. WE EACH HAVE MUCH TO DO IF WE WANT TO STAY HERE IN PEACE. AND I'M NOT TALKIN ABOUT DIGITAL PEACE...

August 2010:

Super busy these days - may be slow with moves, thank you in advance for your patience.

"I'm still searching for whispers in between yells, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still swimming in harmony, I'm still dreaming of flight
I'm still lost in the waves, night after night

I'm still a fire unlit, ready to go, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still tuned to an instrument of greater and unknown design
I'm still looking for direction, some kind of sign"

Tony Dekker, from the Great Lake Swimmers song "Still" on "Lost Channels"

"You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one."
Mikhail Tal

It's official, thanks to the generous weasel who bought me pro, the Monster is back. Looks like i'm not the only one - thanks to SQ's fix ups. CCC is lurking around, Somar is almost up to 15 games, now all we need is the Queen Bee and the wee-world will be right again!

If i can manage to limit myself to 3-4 active games, I'll stick around.
YES, that means i'm coming after you GD!

February 2010:

I AM SORRY MY WEE-FRIENDS, BUT MY LIFE IS TOO FULL FOR ANYMORE DIGITAL DEATH RIGHT NOW. FEEL FREE TO BOOT ME FROM OUR GAMES (although it would be nice of you to make peace for the sake of my teammates, and my first time above 2000 ranking :)

I MAY COME BACK, BUT PROBABLY BEST IF I QUIT COLD TURKEY.

PLEASE KNOW THAT I AM NOT LEAVING BECAUSE OF FLASH OR THE SITE - THIS IS A HECK OF A GOOD TIME REGARDLESS OF ALL THAT BS. THAT'S THE PROBLEM :)

IT HAS BEEN PURE PLEASURE TO PLAY WITH SUCH FINE FOLKS (ESP MY NEW FRIEND GD) FROM ALL OVER THIS BEAUTIFUL LIVING EARTH. WE EACH HAVE MUCH TO DO IF WE WANT TO STAY HERE IN PEACE. AND I'M NOT TALKIN ABOUT DIGITAL PEACE...

November 2009:

YIPPEE!!! Our first Little Monster, arrived on Nov 7. So, if it takes me more time than usual to move, it's all part of adapting to a third life at the centre of my life. Please don't skip or boot me, or else I'll sick the Little Monster on your nipples!

"And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children. And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."

"The Prophet", Kahil Gibran, 1923

September 2009:

Props to cousin Kirith for turning me into a weezombie. Speaking of which, despite appearances and realities, I am, as a matter of fact, trying to limit myself to 3-4 active games. So, don't be offended if I decline an invite - depends on whether the monster is in charge, or more rational voices are prevailing in my head, at the moment when I discover said invitation.

Kingston, Canada, GMT -5

Rated games only please. I play for keeps. But General Death, gallant warrior and good friend, may yet convince me of the error of my ways...
