Thank You Salem
Posted: Wed Jun 26, 2019 6:18 amI wanted to say thank you to John Carter, Marp, Meow, and all the devs who have kept this game going for so long.
I quit Salem rather abruptly some years ago. I had been in a toxic romantic relationship for some time and I finally realized I had to put my life back together, make some changes, un-burn some bridges and what not, blah blah blah.
I was more or less just an elaborate ***** here, but I did enjoy myself. I mean it’s not like I think my presence was missed or anything but I was involved with the wiki and a couple of projects and from time to time I felt just a twinge of guilt when I thought about having left everything so suddenly.
I know this forum is dead. This post is more cathartic than anything else, but recently I kinda wanted to make my peace with Salem.
It’s going to sound stupid but when I went back to school I changed my major to GIS (Geographic Information Systems). I can’t entirely credit Salem with that decision but playing with Salem’s map/world made me question what was possible to do with maps and tickled an interest I didn’t even know I had. In the grand scheme of things it may not mean much but lately I’ve wanted to say thank you.

PS. My character woke up naked, alone, base in ruins, and with hypothermia. I look forward to rebuilding my base and perhaps the occasional ***** here on the forums.
