I appreciated this writing, +1 up
J'ai deux nouvelles, une mauvaise et une bonne
La mauvaise nouvelle c'est que je ne peux pas forcer les gens à m'accepter ou à m'aimer
La bonne nouvelle c'est que j'en ai rien à foutre
Thanks for the +1. (Just realized what page this comment was under)
It is good to know that some people still speak against the silence and the storm.

Well here i go, another year another candle.
The streets have gotten busy, but i think i found a spot where this light can burn itself into the ground.
*Places down candle*
Until next year.

This time, however, the shadow of another man can be spotted standing behind a lamppost, as Meta squats down to light the candle. Pulling a lighter out of his coat, Martin lights up a flame. The smoke from the candles is carried alongside the smoke from the lighters, as they both drift off into the night.

Not as busy as it used to be.
I wont forget this. I might be able to keep the flame burning a while longer. I now have the power to do so.
*Places down candle*
Let's just hope that I don't go down first.
Until next year.

Very busy this year, much fun.
Here have a candle anyway, even if It is late this year. Other lights are burning brighter, and it makes me happy. Need to stoke other flames now.

I am early, this year.
The pull towards the city has not lessened, but the other lights seem far away tonight.
I hold out. *Places Candle*
To the Insurgency, we made it another year.
Until next year.

Not here to ruin the mood, but "made" is all that we did. In that period, we released ~20 Articles (I'm not counting contest pages, etc.) for about one article every three weeks. We also suffered through the WikiDot compromise, which might have been the biggest threat to our wiki yet.
Lighting candles is usually reserved for those mourning the dead. I'm not going to engage in ahem forum role-playing, but don't forget my presence. To some, it's a haunting, to others, a guardian angel, but I'm always there, like it or not.
Eschew elucidation, espouse obfuscation.
You sound really confident about outlasting me and my little tradition.
You never needed to fear to be the last Insurgent and still existing is what I measure success on. I am not actually sure whether you see having "made" it as a positive or a negative. If we could have done more, we would have. If we had not done it we would not have this conversation. We suffered through, we won this round.
As long as one Insurgent stands, the Wiki is not dead. The duel against the silent storm is on I saw many lose. You and me are reliable, but I guess even you must have seen that people show up and than leave.
In 2019 our Master Admin joined me in this little exercise, so I guess we are good. Also, rule 0 is still fun.
I was actually kind of wondering how you would spend the evening. I just pushed something out the door that is basically the equivalent of pulling your jacket over your head, hauling and calling it a ghost costume.

Whilst I'm certainly full of myself, I'd say it's a 50/50 as of now, We're both erratic, yet stubborn, so it's probably decided by who bites the dust first … can I interest you in junk food and cigarettes?
We certainly could have done more; I don't see why we would be magically always at the maximum of our potential. (Even if we live in a simulation, it's certainly not a market one.)
If we have many walk-in customers, we probably should gear towards them. And I very much noticed, I just figured out that telling new people that I don't expect them to stick around isn't constructive either.
We suffered through, but not due to our own actions. You're patting yourself on the back for having the landslide miss your house. If WD would have stayed down, what would we have done then?
I'm not much into these overtly commercialized faux holidays exported from the americas. But just so people shut up I have a green hat with black spots, two big googly eyes, a row of felt teeth around the seam, and a pipe-cleaner antenna. Has a certain trashy charm and makes people shut up when I'm in no mood to argue about how dumb Halloween is.

Some think it is just surviving, but I see it as a great accomplishment.
The other lights are dim once more.
Maybe the Insurgency will move bases, but for now I am here.
I am the one who remains.

We are always at our best. Since we are actually real. No version that is actually better than us has shown up. Competing against fantasy is a battle rarely won by those that are restraint to what can be observed by others.
Ironic coming from me, but that is a funny circumstance I am sure few other people would grasp.
