Yes, I like to quench the rumors ...
"died"
I feel pretty alive !
There was a person who spread that rumor - no clue what was his intention, maybe he wished it would be true, but some wishes do not come true (at least not at the "moment") !
I simple took a break from the game and from the (old) forum from one day to the next, and it FELT so so so good !
Beside that I had personal reasons for !
Unfortunately my "mistake" (HOW I could know someone would spread such a serious thing?) was, that I did not inform about my friends ! Just "gone" and it was the right decision !
I read that rumor a few days only before the old forum were disabled !
Of course I "immediatly" informed my friends after I saw/read what someone / many talked about !
I must say ... it felt VERY STRANGE to read about my own demise
For me - it was funny, BUT I do understand that for many it was the opposite - thank you @Lord Gorgon & @Fidelio for your love !!!
"got very sick"
I am very healthy - god thanks - never was sick, never run into corona or anything else !
I guess me being very sporty helps a lot about !
"banned"
I was never banned from the game - not 1 second - also here I can see that maybe many wished, but sorry, it will never happen, I won all and everything HONEST, therefore I can be very proud of it !
Cheaters will never get any respect AND they will never be able to be proud of anything they achieved with !
Quite the opposite about "me being banned" ... I reported many many many cheaters over all these years and a very high % of them were banned !
The reason many hate me for - but I can tell - I don't care about 1 second ...
HONESTY goes way over achieving anything with cheating or dirty methodes !!!

For all "hard-core-believers" ... feel free to think whatever you want, it will not change the facts !
