Yep. I'm out. I've searched three cities and called/visited numerous game stores. I can't find a SOE time card. Seriously. Nobody carries them anymore. Since I don't have a credit card it looks like I'm done. Kinda sucks ass.
I love game, the community, and I had the best time ever leading our little fleet into fame and glory through good times and bad.
Now I must depart the Matrix because I can't find a subscription card.
Perhaps.. one day... I will return and Agent Gray will know fear again when he hears the approaching battlecry of "SPOON!".
But for now I must move on. I hear our division in Middle Earth is looking for some good people. You can find me there.
Captain Skyscream.. Third Commander of the Fleet now known as The True Believers... signing off.
Spoon my friends... Spoon...
((I'll still be around admining the boards and over in LOTR but this ends my time in the Matrix unless a miracle happens. I may be back eventually if I manage a way. I'll announce something eventually on DN1 as well. I'm not sure what to do about the leadership situation. Perhaps we can have a discussion here on the forums about what is to be done?))

*Sephiroth X stands near the hardline in Tabor West as Halcyon breaks to him the news of Skyscream's departure and he then also mentions his impending retirement as well*
Halcyon - You're in charge now, commander.
*Hal's words just couldn't sink into Seph's skin and it took every last bit of his willpower to swallow it down and accept it. As Seph looked into the pocket of his coat he saw his captain's wings pinned to it along with 'The True Believer' insignia underneath it.*
Sephiroth X- Commander...
*It was a title he had never been kno wn as before, he had always been a captain who was simply proud to say that he was there the night the True Believers were founded. Suddenly after what he had just been told of, that insignia had a much more deeper meaning then it ever had before.... it now meant that he was the last of the founding members... he was all that was left of the original fleet.*
Sephiroth X- That's a title that will forever be yours Sky... I dont deserve it.
*As he gazed at the insignia he suddenly thought about everyone before him who had ever dawned that same insignia even dating back to the days of The Vital Element... names such as Namaeresu, Dragonslayer, ShadowOfPain, Zehra, Zaura, Kailena, 2Fist, Breachbolt, Tysias, Shaira, TheDevilsTrill, Xanthian, Euforia... So many names from some many seemingly different generations of Believers.*
*In his mind Seph wondered 'There is only myself and a very small handfull of others... does this mark the end of The Believers?' Then a short sentance came from Seph's lips.*
Sephiroth X- This is the way it ends, not with a bang but rather a whisper...
*Seph let his own works echo for a moment in his mind*
Sephiroth X- No... Those that are left will not let such a thing happen and neither will I... even if I'm the last Believer standing I will not let things crumble like this, I will carry on what so many have done along side of me... The Believers will go on, Skyscream wouldnt want it any other way.
*Seph looked up to the sky of the Matrix and admired it for a few moments, in a way paying his own tribute to his now departed commander, founder, and most importantly his long time friend. Then a smirk came to Seph's face as one more memory came back from the shadows.
Sephiroth X- Mara central, behind the hardline... Thats where I first saw you Sky... thats where my life changed for good.
(( Gonna miss you man. Protip : Get a Debit/Check card))

((RP Stuff first)) *Sephiroth X finds a letter hidden in the commanders quarters at TTB base* Dear Seph I'm sorry my friend, my brother in arms, but duty calls me elsewhere for now. I recieved a message and a summons I cannot ignore. I don't like leaving in haste like this during a time of War but I have no choice right now. I must journey into the wastelands. I hear Hal is also making a journey as well so I don't imagine you are in a great mood right now. Tag ... you're it. I ask you to insure the Believers do not come to an end. The dream we had so long ago must not end. We must be there when Morpheus returns. The Fleet is a good one. With a good spirit. But I fear we need recruits. Especially now. I hope to return soon. I don't know what awaits me. Just that I must go. Just like when I said yes the day you approached me to join the fleet you belonged to after I had said no to so many others. I didn't know you from a hole in the wall. I just knew.. it was the right thing to do. That someday everyone would know who we are, not because we talk big, but because we accomplished mighty deeds. And we have. And I'm certain the Believers will continue to do so. For Morpheus, for Trinity, for Neo! I may return soon. I may not. I just don't know. Sincerely Skyscream Former Commander of the True Believers *a couple pictures are laying haphazardly on Skyscreams ancient, and beat up, wooden desk salvaged from somewhere* ((OOC stuff now)) I'm working on some possible solutions. A pre-payed credit card is one of them. But it's gonna take time. Plus I'm kinda tapped right now. So no promises about when I'll be in-game again. If I'll be in-game again. I just don't know right now. I will keep you all updated though.

Sad news, take care Skyscream & if you ever venture down to the US, I still see the cards on the shelves at "Best Buy" -- who knows if they'll replace them if they get sold.
Anyhow, even if you take time off... it's only a matter of time that we reconviene in space & time.
Personally, I like the look of SOE's new spy game due in 1 to 2 years time. I'm sure many of us will re-emerge in the upcoming MMOs as the years pass & it'd be nice to recognize each other in our later digital re-emergences, hence keeping some bread crumbs on where we live on (digitally) is quite nice.

err, just a suggestion, try eBay, thats where i get all my Time Cards for matrix. you may have to pay $5 more then with a credit card, but at least you can pay with Paypal (just need a bank account).
