Farewell to a Friend.

Coolguy, oh Coolguy. I never thought this moment would come. Coolguy the 65th Commander-In-Chief (according to the simp list at least), you have led through so many eras of this current generation of SWAT and witnessed the rise and fall of many individuals that have entered leadership alongside you. I personally have known you since 2020, and we were never very close back then. I remember leading Crystal Cowboys/Coup Crusaders with you and having our first massive uproar. That caused our relationship to be quite rocky for some time, which I understand in retrospect. Despite all of our ups and downs, you have always been a genuine person, a dependable co-leader, and a good friend to me. You have a way with words, especially metaphors and I cannot wait to read your retirement post for an hour before I need to take a break from reading it due to how long it most certainly will be. You are a very fiercely opinionated person and I have always respected that about you. You are undeniably consistent and persistent, and you always do what you feel is right for SWATs sake. I admire your longevity in the army, you have secured the longest consecutive reign in SWAT history. Plus look at how cute your lil penguin avatar is:

Your journey in SWAT has surpassed the tenure of ALL other leaders in the CPPS era, with the exception of Ganger90 of course. You have managed to stay motivated, active, and determined for a whopping THREE years of service. We may have had our share of petty arguments, but we were always loyal to SWAT at the end of the day. Your loyalty ran so deep were the only SWAT leader to log on to the Subzero CPPS to fight against ACP during the Flash Nemesis War. Jokes aside, I will always appreciate the quirky tenacious attitude you brought to the army. This sounds like something you would say: when the sun sets, it always returns, and that is true about you. You are retiring but you will always be a member of SWAT at heart, and you will always be welcome home to an army that you put countless hours of your life into.

I appreciate you postponing your retirement so that you could continue to support SWAT in this current state of war. That was a very selfless act and I am very grateful for you doing so even in your last weeks as SWAT Commander-In-Chief. I understand that you are ready to go. You have led with SammieDC, xfastx, Stare3000, aubzxo/fafflez, Hiroyuki, Kaliee770, MagicalMary/Belts, Firestar08, Susej, Legoman (HOO RAH!), Graceee, Camotes, ASTRO, TD9999/Monstah, L90, Jak0b_TFG, Pandor, Toxic Storm (Manifestation of God Almighty), Rye Bread, Oli129, Logical, Bull Hour and of course THE Ganger90. At the risk of sucking at math, I’m pretty sure that’s 23 people. Damn you’ve been around the block. You have watched people like me rise up from being a noob to becoming a SWAT Legend, and you have witnessed many SWAT members become prodigies of modern-day CPA. You have truly seen it all. I would put some form of an anime reference here for you now, but I don’t watch anime so here’s a picture of I think the guy in your pfp??

I looked up blonde anime boy so if this ain’t the dude my bad

Anime boys aside, thank you for putting up with me, and leading alongside me, and thank you for being your pure and authentic self. I know we have had our differences in the past, but I am glad to see how you have grown since we first met in 2020. You have gone through a remarkable journey and I am glad to have been a side character in the Book of Coolguy. Thank you for letting me experience this journey with you. Saying that it has been a WILD three years is such an understatement. The outside community can not begin to understand what it is like. You have always been firm and grounded in your beliefs despite all adversity, like a lone oak tree in deserted woods standing strong against the perils of a vicious thunderstorm. (Sorry CG the metaphors are your thing – cut me some slack I’m trying my best). You are remarkable and I could not have asked for a better co-leader and companion. Even though you are retiring, your presence will still be felt within SWAT, and your memories will be celebrated eternally.

Below are a few memories I hope you keep with you from your time in SWAT:

I hope you can look back on your time in SWAT fondly, I know myself and so many other members of SWAT have found a great friend in you. Thank you Coolguy, for your steadfast loyalty and dedication to this legendary army. May you and your contributions always be remembered within SWAT and the outer-community. Mobties forever. #DOITFORCOOLGUY
