THANKS TO ALL ALLIANCE MEMBERS!

[KDSonoma]

I just wanted to say what I did to open the PAS XMAS Party last night, for the benefit of the PAS who couldnt make it.

We tend to run through RL and ingame taking things and other people for granted way too often (myself included).

I wanted to stop and thank all the members of PAS for being a part of what we are in UO. PAS's strength is our diversity. While its true we all share several traits in common (we like to help others, we like to have fun), we are all very different people, and thats a great thing.

Every time I meet other PAS or UO players in RL, we automatically have something in common, we play UO. That is such a cool icebreaker, and it constantly amazes me that I ALWAYS consider those people I meet as RL friends, even if they arent in PAS.

But I did want to thank everyone for coming to PAS events, for helping other players ingame, for taking time to get in vent and chat with other PAS.

This guild is the most incredible guild ever made ... we continue to push forward, having fun, dealing with a constantly changing game, with new PAS coming, with old PAS retiring, and yet we are always one thing, we are PAS.

I'm so thankful for my Rl family, my wife Janice, who tolerates me having another life in UO, my kids ... who I would NEVER trade for anyone else ... who absolutely amaze me with the things they say and do ... what incredible young ladies they have become in such a short time.

Im thankful for all my PAS guildmates ... its u that keep me here in UO ... while I love this game, I would not be here still playing if PAS didnt exist.

Im thankful for the old school PAS that have been with us for so long ... Im thankful for the new PAS that recently joined us .... Im thankful for the families of PAS members, who let them come here and play as much as they do.

And last but certainly not least for me, Im thankful for Kyra .... just hearing her voice in Vent makes my day. If my RL day sucks ... I know all I need to do is hear her voice in vent and things get better right away.

Thank you, Kyra .... *hugs and kisses*.

I cant imagine a day without Kyra .... and I cant imagine a day without PAS.

So this holiday season, I just wanted to take time to thank everyone again for enriching my life through UO, and through PAS. And of course, I dont restrict that just to PAS members ... I see all KVP, KMG, THB as PAS guildmates of mine.

Thanks everyone for taking time to make PAS what we are!

PAS ROCKS SONOMA!!!

PAS ROCKS RL!!!

OH HELL...PAS JUST ROCKS PERIOD!!!

[Tracy]

Joining PAS was the best choice I've made in my time in UO. My thanks go out to KD for founding this great guild and sticking it out through the tough times to keep the guild going.

UO has brought me a great deal of pleasure over the years. It doesn't matter how bad my day has been, I can come home, log in and get in vent, chat with my friends and just have fun for a while.

All in all, if I had it to do over again, I would have joined PAS a lot sooner.



You people keep me sane some days.

[Rex]

PAS kept me playing UO. I met Queen Mum in Jul on uoforums.com and she introduced me to KD.

If I had not met KD and joined PAS, I would not have stayed in UO, I would have left long ago.

I have days when I don't want to deal with anything or anyone and I come to the nightly event and have a great time with my friends.

You guys really are the best thing to happen to UO, I love this guild and everyone in it...even Kyra (hehe).

PAS ROCKS SONOMA!!!

[Karn]

I used to play computer games. I began to play UO many many years ago. It's not a game anymore, it's a place to be myself, no money, color, or locations where we live matters.

We have something in common, and thats UO. We'd have never met if it wasn't for this 'game'. Many of you I consider very close best friends, some aqaintences, some I tolerate as family in PAS.

I am just like Karn in in RL. But I am a mage. I might carry a staff of whoop-ass, or Tanis can kill monsters with a flick of the wrist. I'm still Dave in RL, with the same upbringing, and ways. I still have the same gripes in UO as I do in RL I still thnk the same way, but express it in a pixel world.

I love what UO and PAS and all of Sonoma has given me. Another place to socialize, to be myself, to be friends with others with like interests, however you express that in UO.

Thanks to GOD or (insert your fav diety here) whoever for giving me the fingers to play, job to afford UO, Carol for being a best wife, allowing me to play UO. And to my son, for being a young responsible man like I never was.

Thanks to KD for being an amazing person and keeping us happy. KD, if it wasn't for you PAS would of come and gone 5 times in all these years. I can't imagine what it would be like to work in your department, your personality must make people do the best they can for you, and not for the job. Your a powerful person whoever you touch, in UO, or RL.

I thank the human race for showing kindness, love for their fellow person, and showing how we can all be equal. UO and PAS shows where we are headed, hopefully in the next milennia and beyond.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all! Our internet experiance is the bridge between physical interaction and the next human stage in evolution. Make your experiance one to be proud of as a human on this tiny speck in time and space.

With these warm fuzzy times, waiting for the 0.31% person to post. Should be good......

[Dralagon]

I know I am one of the newer kittens in PAS, but in the short amount of time I have been in this guild I have learned alot from everyone in PAS. I enjoy going on the events nightly, and when I see a fellow guildmate in trouble I sacrafice my own life to save that person without question. I asked myself why I do this, and my answer was because they are your family now. Thanks all of you guys for being so darn cool!!! I know I am really quiet in game and don't socialize much, but I tend to let my actions speak louder then words anyhow. Just wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year!!!

[Damien Kilcannon]

Well folks, my account has gone inactive as of today. I managed to give my plot away to a PAS member.

Like Brianna, I must say that I agree with everyone that has posted before me. This game was a way for me to socialize with people that I had things in common with. You guys ARE my friends. While this is a game, it was much more than that to me. While PAS could be called "just a guild", it was and always will be MUCH more to me.

I want to thank you all for the trust and friendship that you have shown to me. It means alot and I will miss you all very much.

I know that some of you feel that I caused quite a bit of drama and I would like to apologize. That was never my intention.

I will be around on the forums or ICQ from time to time. I may even pop into vent now and then. I wish you all the best and pray you will remember me fondly.

Goodbye for now,
Damien Kilcannon
