Farewell...
Yes, it's time for my pity party. 
I haven't been on and around as much lately as I should have been, or like to have been, and simply vanishing without a trace isn't a very good thing to do for my reputation, or for the respect I owe you all. 
I hereby resign from all official positions, including Justice of the First Court of Apolytonia, the Co-Founder and Chairperson of the UFC, Founder and Chairperson of the Imperialist Party, and any other positions I may (unknowingly) hold. I'm also dissolving any political affiliation I previously held. The elimination the useage of political entities is a good way to end things here, and it's good to see party politics all but disappear in the last month.
I will try to stop by and say hi, and you may find me from time to time in the chatroom, but I can't guarantee anything anymore. If you want my (new) MSN Messenger address, PM me, and I'll answer you eventually. You can also add me to AIM or ICQ if you want to say hi. 
And so, I must depart...
'Til lata.

Trip,
You did a great job. I suppose that, especially at the start a lot of work was involved and IMO you invested heavily in it. Thanks.
Hope to see you later.

Good luck in RL Trip!

Wow. Gazette article came out at just the right time.
Trip, It'll be a shame to loose you. You've been one of the most infulential citizens in the game, leading us through our start as our first president, and also doing numerous other things to guide us through the next administrations. Good luck in real life, and thanks for your dedication and contribution.

Farewell and I hope you grace us again with your presence. You made this game what it is and were invaluable. Personally I still don't understand how you didn't get that second term , you deserved it. But farewell and good luck. There will always be a place for you in out empire.

ASUKA!!!!!! (Saw the new avatar  )
Trip, you were one of the few that made this game enjoyable from the start, and truth be told...
/me sniffs
...the only reason I wanted to be Prez was... cause I wanted to follow your example...
/me bawls his head off for a minute
It's been fun, Trip. Don't be a stranger. Drop in and say hi whenever you can. When my comp is fixed, you can bet I'll be here every moment I can be, and closely monitoring the chat too. Whenever you do turn up, expect the usual swarm of people to join when they see your name there. For the future...

You made a huge contribution to this game - and I'm just speaking from my experience here, which started in the middle of your presidential turn.
Good luck, and drop in whenever you feel like it.

hi ,
Trip , whenever you need a box of banana , let the tam-tam do its work , a while later a small aircraft shall drop some , ...
its  to see you go , ....
but then again , you shall be back , ...someday
have a nice day
panag > puts picture of Trip in the row of those who have left us
Unorthodox looks in silence
Togas walks in , sigar in his hand , stand silent , a small tear goes down
in the mean time Trip prepares his bag
NYE > talks with a low voice , there should have been a law that would have kept him here
they all turn to look outside , Sir Ralph awaits Trip in the yard , together they walk out of the plalace gates
when reaching the edges of the jungle Ralph halts his horse
Trip looks behind one more time and waves goodby
Sir Ralph warns him of the frogs that shall wonder around
and so Trip walked in the jungle to start his great walk , .......

Goodbye, Mr. Trip. It's really sad to see you go, but you are in our history forever, as our first President (a great president!), one of our Founding Fathers. Thanks for all.
Come back to say "hi" and "have a nice day". Oops... wrong person. this is panag... and panag still with us!
Btw, panag, very beatiful lines!
