            Thanks for your excellent work - I think you left Angband (not just the current version, but the whole lineage) and its community in much better shape than 5 years ago.

                I've decided that it's time for me to give up the role of maintainer of Angband. When I took over the game (five years ago!)
                Five years? I must be getting old, it feels like you just started.

                Farewell.

                  It's not, except in cases where single maintainer is a bad one. Zangband went bad quickly after it was taken over by a team instead of single person. I just hope same doesn't happen to vanilla (though the signs of that have been around for some time now...).

                      It's great to see all the well-deserved plaudits and thanks - the two that stand out for me are fizzix's and this one. I also owe my involvement to your patience and open-mindedness. Thank you.

                        Many thanks for your efforts, takkaria.

                        Although you do realise that your role in maintaining Angband has contributed to the decline of civilization, right? So many millions of man-hours have been lost pointlessly and mindlessly moving a little "@" around a computer screen... As a species, we could have cured cancer or colonized Mars by now. The fact that we haven't is largely your fault. You're worse than Hitler.

                        Damn your infernal hide, and may God have mercy on your soul.

                          I'm a relative new(re)comer to Angband, but I'm sorry to see you leave the project, Takkaria. From what I've seen, Vanilla has undergone an impressive number of advances under your leadership.

                            Thank you for everything Andrew. We hope you remain a part of the Angband community. Maybe you could relax and play a game or two now.
