So, I got demoted from staff, any degenerate gambler would have probably seen this coming at some point. I've never been anything except what I am, and while at times that was a pretty good staff member, it was also one of the best trolls perp has ever seen. I have no regrets.
I'm thankful for the welcome I recieved when I returned. I was surprised that, given my history, I was even asked to be an enforcer in the first place. They must've been really deseperate for staff if they asked me (I was going to apply anyway at some point, mind.) I hope that through my efforts I've demonstrated to the people who knew me in the before times that I have changed, at least a little, and I'll go into the future with fond memories of my time as staff, and I encourage others to do the same.
I got pretty fed up of grinding out tickets, and I started enjoying myself less and less in my position as staff. I considered resigning a few times, but I figured I'd stick it out until my inevitable demotion. Being staff has given me a unique perspective on the server, and I have to say, some of you can be real whiny bitches when faced with a little adversity. Like, seriously, start treating staff members with some respect and put efforts into your reports. It's no fun to deal with braindead idiots shouting over each other, at least make it easy.
I have problems in my own life, and no amount of gmod rp will fix them. As the new year starts I will be far less active. I will still keep up with my duties to internal affairs, but I probably won't be the server much.
If I have one thing to say to the senior administration team, it's that I am thankful for the oppurtunity you gave me, and I'm sorry that it didn't work out. I am confident that I made the server a better place in my tenure, and I hope that I've made a little bit of a change.
I shall now proceed to do the list thing that everyone does. I will probably forget people, my bad:
@Oddy thank you for putting up with my shit for so long, I enjoyed chatting with you during my staff interventions and I think you're a real nice guy.
It was respectful, I made sure everyone stored their weapons and the prize money promised for the event was given out to one of the people that was killed. I didn't want anyone to lose anything except their time.
I was hesitant to say anything I wasnt sure what to say, you defo had an impact on me I have also always been happy to see you around.
When I first came here I found everything so hostile (whether that was projection of my own issues at the time or the playerbase is debatable) and you where the first person to be friendly to me, you made me feel welcome and that was just on the fourms. I remember we had spoken ingame and I didnt even realise you where "rat" or something at the time lol. Your phone number is still saved as "Vault Corp" on my phone because I did a order with you ages ago
If it wasnt for you and one or two others, I think I wouldve just threw a bomb into bazaar back in april ish and not been here today, but because of those small acts that made me feel welcomed I am still here today and as much as I crib and moan and could say alot about some individual players I love this server, I love the experience and you where monumentally important in it all so I will actually miss you alot. We have had alot of fun memories, from you closing the farm doors on me making my car tier to the brute flying around even down to the simple things like a time we hunted down these new players who stole your car on the highway or eating mushrooms infront of you when you where on mayor *alledgedly*
You are always welcome to reach out to me whenever on discord, thanks for everything youll always be Phoenix to me
, sorry I can't noclip record demos for races anymore.
