Goodbye

Post by Andrew Chillin »

I didn’t know you but I will miss seeing the name Kris Bobby in the big races and sales pages. Been a big name since I started, tons of big auctions in the past years. Lots of players bought all kinds of crap with pedigrees for the big bucks; now I see all the rest of her horses have been given away. Peace out Girl Scout. Party on in Simfamy.

I can trace 90% of my current success back to Kris. Also, one of the kindest people ever to play. I doubt anyone knows the full extent of how exceptionally nice Kris is!

While not a close friend, I’ve always had positive experiences with her. I’ve been wondering at the recent sales, is there a reason she’s leaving us? I hope all is well with her.

Unfortunately real life has significantly gotten in the way.

Truly one of the best people I’ve ever known in my life. Her generosity and kindness are unmatched.

I have also benefited from her generosity. Really sad to see her go, and I truly hope that all can be made well again in her life.

Sorry to see Kris go, she built up a formidable stable that I looked up to quite a lot. Never got to chat to Kris much but only ever heard good things. Hope real life is treating you well Kris!

I echo this sentiment 100%. As ever, the SIM is more about community than it is about the bits and bytes we interpret as 'horses', and its never fun to see players we've gotten to know over many, many real years leave. But lives and hobbies and demands on our time change!

Best of luck, Kris, and I'll be jostling with others at the front of the line to get you reestablished should you ever decide to return. I'm not sure who would win the shoving match to the front of that queue, many of us would be throwing elbows!

The little bit of interaction I’ve had with Kris over the years has always been lovely. She’s a class act, and is someone I have always looked up to in the SIM.

Wishing you all the best, Kris, and hope to see you back here someday!

This is sad news, I didn't know Kris like a lot of the older players here did, but I did know her enough to know she never turned away someone in need of help and was so kind and generous to the community as a whole, even if she didn't know you very well. She was one whom always took care others, and when something spectacular happened in the community that she felt was of importance, she would do something for said event without hesitation and without question because of her kind heart. Thank you Kris for all that you did for the community, it will have an everlasting effect for a very long time.

Sorry to see another long time player step out of the game. I've been here 17 years now, so I've seen a lot of them go, but too, I've seen a lot of people join and some of them have ended up being major players in the game.

Kris, I hope things in real life end up being wonderful for you and perhaps at some point you can return to the game and have fun being here.

Never did anything nice for me I guess I was on the naughty list and I always feel when a major player leaves no horses should be giving away ! All should go to sales page and that way anyone can get them

I remember her as a friendly person when I was at Trial Park. She'll be missed!

Hope you come back soon Kris.
