Bye Shaggerty! NYX2000
It was close to 3:30pm Bootleggers time when the Game Forum went from dead to hopping within seconds all do to the suspicion of a lost Moderator. Witnessing the dead account of Shaggerty, rumors flew left and right wondering what happened. Our suspicions ceased when the truth came out from the mouths of the victims themselves.

Apparently, Shaggerty (who has been in a relationship with FearofMagnets, also known as VivaLaBam), hitlisted both her newly made account and the account of her new boyfriend for five billion dollars each, with the reason of "Here, you can have her," after what seems to be a very public breakup. After the hitlists were made, Shaggerty suicided his account.

"I don't know why he had to bring real life stuff onto the game," stated his newly ex-girlfriend as players wondered what would come of his dead account.

The Buzz quickly contact Shaggerty to get his side of the story. When one of our writers asked why he quit, his reply was: "Why do you think I quit?" which left us with nothing more than to rely on the rumors the game was serving up to us on a silver platter.

About thirty minutes later, when another writer told Shaggerty he was "sad to see him go," Shaggerty replied, "Who said anything about leaving?" And concluded with, "I took a temporary break."

What seems to be, at first, a decision to quit, quickly turned into a break. We are unsure of if the ENTIRE Administration knew of this "break," but when we spoke to 5litre, he was just as surprised to hear the news as the rest of us were. "He did what?" was Administrator 5litre's reply. He did not let us in on any further details.

This will be the second time Shaggerty "quit," following the first time when he quit due to a overloaded work-schedule.

Opinions to players can be found in multiple topics made about the event and many topics were closed due to this. Whatever his reason may be, may Shaggerty "Rest in Peace."
