No, I'm not starting this post with the intention of claiming to be leaving or something. Although I did claim to be leaving numerous times over all sorts of reasons ranging from some chick to carpal tunnel (Luckily that pain in my wrist went away on it's own). No quirky alter ego will be spawned from this post, such as the legendary Lurking Nute that actually outposted some regulars.
I had originally intended to wait for post #6000 to do this, but I got bored of waiting. I feel that the name Nute Gunray has become type cast, almost a gimmick. Originally, I had decided to go with a Star Wars-y name because I was going to be a productive member of the mission editing scene, but I got too lazy and just started to post here.
"Get to the ^&@#ing point!" you yell.
Well here it is: I'm retiring the name Nute Gunray. Post number 5753 shall be the last one (unless the forum cookie gets messed up or something) for this name. Sometime tomorrow, my NEW IDENTITY will appear before your very eyes.

Nute Gunray
June 23, 1999-January 11, 2001
No I didn't die mortals. This is not a tombstone.

Well, I test drove my new name, so this is the end of the line for this one. Oh yeah, please don't delete this user. It's, like, historic.

R.I.P. Nute Gunray.

See you on the other side.

Now the speculation grows as to what his new name will be...

Gonna retire your name, eh? Not like I ('Imladil') haven't considered doing that at one time...

But you will still be a twisted space frog as far as I'm concerned! http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/biggrin.gif) [i] Disguises mean nothing.

So it is Archer now, right?

hows it been?

Yes, it's Archer now. If it were 1985 or something, I would be "more radical" than Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise, and...um...another Tom Cruise as depicted in Top Gun.

Thus we witness the passing of an era. I, for one, will miss NUTE. The name NUTE GUNRAY was almost synonomous(sp?) with XWA. RIP Nute. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/smile.gif)

It would appear the world is not yet ready for the higher form of life that is Archer. Back to human form I guess. I despise this lower form of intelligence...but whatever works for the mortals... http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/biggrin.gif)

damn. and thing were going so well. there was light at the end of the tunnel!


i could ban Nute Gunray for you so you don't get tempted to use him again...

hehe

Back to reality, I suppose.

/me starts a chant

BAN NUTE! BAN NUTE! BAN UTE!

You suck, Noot.

Yeah? Well, speaking for myself, posting with Nute has darn near ruined my hair.

It takes all kinds... The question is, what is 'it'?

huh?

huh?

Nute did not come to an end. Therefore, Nute is not a good thing.
