[Mush Martin]

This is the Mush Martin SHIII Permanent Retirement Party
I have just finished taking my shIII mods down from file front.

I want to say that the shIII community at large made my foray
into modding a Good experience all around, However I have moved
on to shiv long ago, so long ago that I am no longer playing it atm.

I still check into general topics from day to day because there's no
group of egghead's in the world like this group of egghead's.

I would like to say thanks to everyone at large for supporting my
mod's as player's. Altogether about 2500 downloads of all mods was
my rough final count. Nice job for a constant newbie.

I would also like to thank my SHIII teachers
Mark and Jeff.
as well as my original groupie
Kevin
along with a host of others to numerous to mention

Yer a great bunch and thank's for the shIII times.

Mush out.:|\\

[Madox58]

And many of us will follow Mate!!
:up:

It's been a Roller Coaster at times, Eh?
:lol:
You, My Friend, had a great impact on me.
As we both came into this forum at close to the same time.
(You just posted more often!!)
:rotfl:

We don't connect as often as we did in the past.
At times?
That makes me feel sad.
:nope:

But always remember this!
You were one of the major driveing forces
behind me!!

So I Salute You Sir!!

Now,
Where's that River Class We're going to go visit!!
:up:

[Mush Martin]

[Madox58]

:hmm:
So what we're we talking about visiting up near you?
a Tribal?
:-?

[Mush Martin]

Thats more like it son I take back the treaty of Ghent comment then:yep:

HMCS Haida is in Hamilton and open year round for tours I would suggest
however that biking there is more fun in spring or summer. I am still up for
it, I also have an opportunity to go to halifax this year too so I am actually
hoping to tour both HMCS Haida and HMCS Sackville within a week or three
of each other. I absolutely must get that new camera I guess.

I would love to see you there Brudda and I'm not gone from SS altogether
so its still on.

Well...

This is the beggining of that sad period when people stop posting on SH3 threads and move on to SH4. Sure it will happen slowly, one at a time, and eventually, around launch of GWX 4.0, the majority of members will move on to Sh4.

This thread made me think about the future... games becoming obsolete, people following other paths, contacts being lost... makes me sad...

Salute, Mush Martin! :up:

Thooomsen ........Thooooomsen.... I was thinking about that too.
Art reflects life I suppose, it reminds me of my high school circle
of friends, and the realizations I came to at the end of my teens
about time and friendships :up:

God... Don't even mention that...
When I stop to think about all the friends of my high school...
The best part of my life, it was all about joy, never sad about nothing, never worried about nothing... All the great times, with friends surrounding, laughing, talking, sharing experiences and excitments... the talking about girls and the stupid shyness of going there talking to them.

And now, each friend in one corner of the world... they don't have time for nothing, working all day, sometimes married, with children, with beer belly and beard on the face... and the feeling that those great days will never return...

It's a stab on the heart...:dead:

[Mush Martin]

That is sort of why I thought saying goodbye to this chapter was
important. I made great friends here, we are of a kind all of us.
mind junkies not jet jockey's. Stalker's of the hunt of week's like in
day's of old. silent in the dark awaiting the game.

these were my best sailing days in many ways. although I do
prefer American boats and although I didn't learn subs here
I really did Sail my best against the British horde's. To be sure
the atlantic is a harsh mistress and the GWX Jedi RN are as
worthy as an enemy can be made.

What a good frackin time this all was.:arrgh!:

[Graf Paper]

I suppose that's why it is said by some, "Youth is wasted on the young."

You never truly appreciate the relatively simple happiness of youth until the burdens of growing older weigh you down.

I'm still a relative newcomer to SH3. I have yet to finish my first career and this "old" game has much more for me still to come. I'm always late to the party, it seems. I've never learned the skills to create any great mods and probably never will, since the SH3 party is winding down. I have no plans to move on to SH4. That has too much the feel of "been there done that" after playing SH3.

It can be said that every end must come before a new beginning.

Maybe, someday, I'll find that one special game upon which I can leave my mark.

Thanks for all that you did for this community, Mush. Your talents and spirit will be missed.

May stormy days always be followed by a glorious sunrise.

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Beautiful words... :up:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Cheers Mush. Fair winds.

...and as for those Japs...

SINK'EM ALL!!! :up: :up: :up:

[Mush Martin]

Danke Herr Kaleun Danke :up:

[VonDos]

For now i'll remain on sh3 mods; btw in the future...
SH4 is a younger, improved engine. Potentiality.

BTW thanks for your work on sh3, Mush!
Hours of fun for me with UberBoot ^_^

[Wolfehunter]

Mush Martin I hate to say it but your right. Soon its time to move on to better. SH3 will always be installed because their is so much but when GWX 4.0 comes out well SH4 will be complete.

Plus my new rig comming soon to take on the heat....:rock: Anyhow my daughter wants to play SH3 it will be a good learning tool for the young new sailor.;)

See ya soon dude.:arrgh!:

[ReallyDedPoet]

How but them Giants :yep::lol::lol:

By the way I thought you were my groupie :hmm:
Also, does your post mean I call you by your real name now here :p

[kylania]

GWX 3.0 for SH III will be out before GWX for SHIV it's looking like, so I'd hardly claim doom and gloom for SH III. Having played both, and being a total graphics whore, I still prefer SH III...

As an aside, why take down your existing mods even if you won't be making new ones? I'm confused by that.

[Wolfehunter]

:o Hold on a second kylania what GWX 3.0? I didn't hear anything about this... am I getting punked...:lol:

@Jimbuna always look on the bright side of life .........


@RDP I didnt give it away you did but my real name appears
in my forum name.

@Kylania I had told posted at the start of summer that I would
be taking them down come autumn as I wasnt playing them and
wont be available for user support anylonger. I feel that if I am
going to keep them posted I should keep them supported and
conversely...........


@everyone else, you cant change what SHIII has meant to the
Genre at large. Its significance cant be understated.

Myself, I feel that il never fully move to SH4, I actualy mess with SH3 more often.

The graphics are shiny, the game engine is new. But it is still missing something, just dont know what it is. Dosent have the same feeling for some reason.:-?

That would be the cold dark foreboding grey of an atlantic winter storm

[bigboywooly]

Still here Mush ?
lol
Well it was an experiance
:rotfl:

Pleasure mate
Take care

[Wildhawke11]

Thank you Mush for all you did for us and our beloved SH3 GAME.
What keeps me on the U-boats compared to SH4 is like in real life you knew it was only a matter of time before your number was up.
Again Thank You and Good Hunting.

[Sailor Steve]

MM, you did great things here, you're doing great things there. You're right - we'll all be joining you soon enough.

@ Philipp_Thomsen: Your sad post reminds me of a time three years ago or so. Someone posted that he couldn't believe that SH2 was being moved to the 'Classic Subsims' forum.

Sad but true, all things must end.

[TarJak]

MM all the best mate. You pushed at the boundaries and did some great work. Hope to see you round the boards elsewhere then.:up:

So Sad.......

Best of luck to you and future endevers.

Guys, you're making this sound like it's a funeral :lol:

Rock on, and I sure expect more of your excellent modding work in SHIV now :D

[Mush Martin]

nope a retirement party have one :()1:

[ReallyDedPoet]

Don't turn into one of those " I'm leaving or retiring or whatever " lads here, only to return to the fold at a later date.
If you do this thread will come back to haunt you :dead::dead:, I'll make sure of it :lol::lol::yep:

Nothing wrong with taking a break and then having a go at it later on :):up:
Besides I am sure that there will be more great sims to keep us all occupied in the future.

Nope I flew over Canada nearly a fortnight ago and I definitely saw the retirement banner nailed across the roof of his place of abode :lol:

Just one thing puzzling me now....Is he old enough to start drawing his pension :hmm:

I'll have to take FS 2004 for a rip tonight over Ontario and see if I can
spot it as well :rotfl::rotfl:Better yet I'll take the F-16 out available in Google Earth.

As far as his age, there was a pic of him floating around here somewhere :hmm:

[Mush Martin]

it would take the Google Boys to count my days.

I am only retiring from shIII as a modder/player this isnt
indicitive in anyway of a retirement from subsimming or
subsim. Nor is it to be construed as any type of statement
I tend to make those plainly enough if the mood strikes me.
all I am doing is saying theres no more user support or availability
from me for the SHIII mods I did. Anyone who has such mods is
free to put them up anytime they please. And that I totally loved
learning modding on the SHIII forums playing with and talking to
the people who made the most impressive mod in simming to my eye
as it really quite litterally did supplant the original game. that game
itself being important to the continuation of the genre. and to have
been a part of that community of kindered souls.
Like I said before...what a good time.

Now that said I appear to be taking a short break none the
less.
