Change

Hey everyone,

As most of you know I've been gone for the past 3+ weeks.  During this time I've taken a lot of time to think and ponder and philosophizzzze.  I've found a lot of things I want to pay more attention too in my life.  I dream of drawing a comic, wanting more time for my job and buckin' up to the responsibilities of keeping up a house. So, I have given up my position as Head GM AND as Admin. I may be back to RP as a PC but I dunno when.  

I'm not so sad, but I do feel guilty for letting all the PCs down. Ive always prided myself on being PC friendly and in tune with what you all are doing and trying to make your experience as realistic and fun as I can. And since we've lost a lot of Admin late I'm definitely not making GM Plot development very progressive. But hopefully you all won't hold it against me.

It's been a great couple years, now it's time to take a step back and take some ventures elsewhere.

I can't help but wish I'd heard this under better circumstances, man. I can't help but feel bad that I'm glad to see you go because of my current feelings towards the game and people involved in it. However, consider that a mark of my respect for you, it pleases me to see Sindome lose one of it's finest GM's. It makes me feel good to know that Sindome will no longer benefit from your imagination, devotion and style. It lets me cross another name off the list of people who had the power to make Sindome great…

What can I say? Honestly? Without wanting to dismiss anyone elses contribution, you were the finest GM I've ever head the pleasure to work with in my time on the game. You were -the- team player, the moderator and the shaper of ideas. With you gone, the balance of power has shifted further into the grasp of the coders, those who's technical prowess is meaningless without the creative vision to shape it into a fluid product... I want to see Sindome fail and knowing you're gone increases my belief that it will.

You've got the talent, drive and vision to make something great, a thing I could never do outside of a team the likes of which Sindome used to have.

Whatever it is you go on to make great, take my best wishes with you and if at all possible, stay in touch.

*gulps*

Murphy: I hope to be around, though it won't be to the level I once was. My passions lie elsewhere :P, but we will run into eachother ICly.

Rastus: Wow thanks. Though I don't want to see the demise of SD, I do thank you for yer words. Means a lot to me, Though I would have to say as far as creative and execution You were a much better GM than I and anyone reading, I knew almost NOTHING of MOOs and GMing before SD and the plots Rastus ran made me wanna be a GM too. �Well, as great as things can get, they must change at times. *chuckle* as for keeping in touch, I've reformatted my computer at least twice in a month.

Shadow: Man, I wish I could stay around to see �you untwink. *chuckles* No offense but I spent a lot of time puppeting against your first 100 characters. Silly rabbit.

Dominik: Don't get me wrong, I hated your bitching too. I have just been gifted with the ability to listen to �a lot of it. Yes all the other admin fell into hatred way sooner than I did. :P

Thanks yo!
I have no hard feelings against anyone. I've never hated anyone and I wish the staff tons of success.

I'm open to be bitched at about me, about the game, about whatever. all you must do is ask, and I will be there.

There are just a few times… very few... when I am in a bad mood. They have started to come more often, but I am stamping them out... in those times, I won't be open for a bitch session... heh.

Anyways... yea... sorry to see you go Stone. I don't share the same opinion with Ras about the demise of the game... the game is the game. Ras, if you have something against some people in the game (I know you do, we all do.). Then thats cool... but to damn the whole game over a few people? Sindome is bigger than all of us, thats one thing I have lived and remembered since I became an admin.

Otherwise... yea... keep in touch Stone. We've had some nice conversations in the past! Peace dude.

Sniffle.

Man Stone you suck! hehe. Farewell and good luck on all that you do. I'll miss the the past 3 years or what ever it's been since we started playing. It was fun. Thank you for everything.

To add to Ras' post about creativity, That creativity extended to the way you played the game as a PC (not just a GM) and boosted the way everybody you interacted with plays. Thank you.

BTW- I need a new background so when you make one, please send it to me:)

Good luck,
Dave/Riggers/Sath
