Nick 1,249 / 17,857 Report Post Posted April 21, 2017 Edited April 22, 2017 by Nick Well, my time has come. I’ve recently been way busier than I had anticipated I would be. I stepped down from my position as a technical administrator a while back due to my lack of time and effort. I didn’t feel good about being in such a position without having the energy nor time to put in the effort, I believe, it requires. I did, however, take my time before finally making my decision, and I’m deeply sorry about all the inconveniences I have caused and am causing. I’ve had my reasons but that’s irrelevant. I’m sorry. This will probably not be a surprise for some since I have internally stepped a dozen times, haha. However, this final move is long overdue. I initially started losing interest when my favorite division’s Independence Day took place. I lost a great number of friends that day, and my primary interest vanished from GFL. I did, however, stick around. This, among other things, has been a contributing factor to my loss of productivity which I know many of you sadly have witnessed. I should have stopped while the going was good. Now I have inflicted a lot of damage and I deeply apologize for that. A lot of events have taken place during my time in GFL. I have come to a point where I don’t know many anymore. I haven’t had the chance to socialize with the community nor newer staff since I haven’t been playing much. The people, who brought me into GFL (Cobra, Shinigami, Infantry, SFB, and some others), are no longer around. I guess I just miss the old days. I used to look up to GFL, and I was initially so proud to take part in the community especially as developer. This, sadly, does not apply anymore. I’ve lost my respect for the staff of GFL. Great people are rare; great leaders are even rarer. GFL is sadly running low. A lot of my great friends have vanished over my relatively short time with GFL, and I wish I could thank all of them for my experience. A select few of you, who is still around and mean a lot to me, deserve a special thanking: @Dano: Thanks for being a great friend and listener. I’m sorry for making you listen to all my personal problems but thanks for having been there for me. That meant a lot to me. @Roy: Thanks for giving me a shot at being a developer even without knowing me or my prior work. Thanks for letting me lead, or sink, the development team. Thanks for giving me all these opportunities. I’m sorry for letting you down on multiple occasions. @denros: I don’t think you can imagine the amount of respect I have for you. Although constantly being busy, you have pumped out invaluable assets for GFL. We haven’t talked much, but you have been a great inspiration and a great developer. Keep being awesome! @Ariistuujj: I, or most of us if not everyone, might not know much about you, but I do know that you’re a great friend to play with, develop with, and talk with. You’re always there to help or just have fun. Even though your to-do list keeps growing, you always have time for a chat. I know you don’t like attention and prefer just being in the shadows fixing and improving everything, but if anyone deserves attention for their hard work, it is you. Thanks for being a great help and friend. GFL does seem to currently be improving, and I expect a great time coming for GFL. I do, however, not wish to participate anymore. I wish the best of luck to the staff. If I know myself right, this won’t be the last you see of me. Anyways, it has been good. Thanks for everything, GFL. This will surely be a memorable chapter of my life. Thanks. Edited April 22, 2017 by Nick Wanna know what I am up to?

You've always been a good friend, and a natural thing friends do for each other is listening and helping one another, so that won't stop. Feel free to always message me, I enjoyed the conversations.
