Resigning - Life Happens :(

[Alucard33rd 1,175 / 15,145]

 

Hey everyone, its that one CA who did stuff even if you didn’t notice. I did most of my contribution to GFL behind the scene, but things have changed. It seems that I have lost interest/have no more purpose as a CA in GFL. I did my best to help the community but I stressed myself out with the amount and volunteer work I do online and in real life and it’s time to cut some strings. Online communities in general are starting to have a negative impact on me, mentally, which ain’t healthy. I have made some mistakes in the past and it has ruined the respect some people had for me. I just want to relieve all the stress and just enjoy playing games without having to make time to do things like I have done for GFL. I recently got a job as a Production Specialist at Krispy Kreme and boy does that wear me out. Not only that but I just didn’t have as much time to do GFL stuff.

 

For the last month I took a step back from GFL to just enjoy playing games and I realised over that time span that this is what I want to do. With my time limited from Work and being a Drumline Staff for my high school marching band, the little time I had left just wanted to enjoy playing games. Some may be happy or some may be sad. Either way, I hope I can just leave on good terms.

 

One last thing, when I first joined this community I had no intention to become an admin or anything, I just wanted to play. Over time I grew friendships and GFL turned out to be a fun experience. Around 6 months into joining GFL I was mostly playing 1v1 and SurfTimer. I said “fuck it” and applied for Operator for SurfTimer. Definitely was not good at being an operator and didn’t go very well for me over time, but I learned from my mistakes. Around a year into GFL I applied for Admin on 1v1 and got it. Probably the best experience I had and I was happy with it and didn’t want to go any further. What do you know 6 months later they were looking for a 1v1 manager. I had good intentions so I said “fuck it”, again. Then again when I applied for CA. My point is, even tho the above had nothing to do with it, was that I enjoyed the community enough to help and contribute and do what I could to make it better. I have to say not only have I made countless memories in GFL but GFL is probably one of the best most friendly communities out there. Everyone has an equal opportunity to become anything they want and I want to see GFL continue to grow from here on out.

 

I don’t have much else to say so I will leave you with a quote I told a special someone when I was applying for CA.

 

Quote

“Don’t let them get in your way. There will always be people who will make claims and do what they can to put you down. People are just jealous, it’s natural and even I get jealous at times. But, with that said, you know your purpose and potential more than anyone else, all you have to do is prove it.”

Damn man. It was great having you around to help out with the community, especially with all the things you did as a CA. I hope everything goes better for you in your life now.

[VilhjalmrF 2,099 / 30,684]

Its been nice having you here as a CA in our community. Good luck.

Thank you for all the work you have done for us Crusti. It's certainly not gone unnoticed. I valued you as one of the most senior, if not the most senior CA we have and you certainly were up there in terms of work ethic. You'll go far in life if you keep it up.

[Rcool64 1,007 / 16,299]

Crusti, I will def miss you. You were probably one of my good friends to play with in the community. As a marching band person (not a competitive one, but with knowledge of them), I know how much time that takes, so I wish you the best of luck in the things you love.

[Winter 1,707 / 25,777]

Cheers man, best of luck to you. Always good talking to you and don't forget to bring us at GFL some Krispy Kreme every now and then

[Joel 543 / 12,777]

Noooo so sad to hear you resigning! Hope everything is okay! Message me if you ever wanna talk and play games! <3

[Eli 708 / 11,596]

We'll miss you dude

This is a silly gaming community and community advisor is a silly role, but I am certain you stumbled upon many valuable learning experiences.  I'm often accused of believing I'm smarter and better than everyone when the individual has fallen onto my bad side; however: Just because you can't draw an energy splitting diagram using crystal or ligand field theory neither explain why bipolar supply on your integrated circuits are better for combating radiation effects and noise is better doesn't mean I think you're an idiot.  It's how you piece things together and approach problems.  Having fulfilled such a role and moving into your new emeritus role, as well as your Krispy Kreme role...  you're going to continue seeing in a new light, think in a different way, and you can use the exact same mechanisms for your endeavors.

 

I think you're going to do great.  Krispy Kreme sounds like fun too  Cheers.

Only got on to say at least you won't be warning people while you're high anymore.

I was WAY TOO fucking nice about warning points when I was high.

[Plexol 41 / 3,309]

@CrusTi, you have helped me reach goals, achievements and most

importantly have connections that I wouldn't have right now.

 

If you need any kind of help in the future; ask.

 

Sincerely

Thanks for all the comments and people who spammed my steam. I just want to give credit to an exclusive few that really made an impact on GFL and my experiences with it.

 

@Roy - You were always motivated to improve on GFL even when you were down. I remember you spending countless hours working on stuff, and still find time to just hang out with people in the community and have fun.

 

@Snoopy - You helped redefine the CA role and the structure of GFL as a whole. I give you major props for your motivation to give a purpose to weak points in GFL.

 

@RickGrimesTM - I really enjoyed working with you as Admins on Deathrun, Community Advisor for a short time, and as a Director. You have come a long way since I first met you and I am proud honestly.

 

@Wilford_brimleyy - Hey....we may not have been on the best of terms but you were my introduction to moderating a server and I looked up to you during those times.

 

@Sleazoid - Thanks for giving me the opportunity to admin for 1v1 it was a great experience and everyone in 1v1 is tight. Made lots of memories and you probably are the most valuable CSGO manager in my eyes.

 

@Dano - Might be a surprise but you were very helpful when you were a DL. Always looking out for people in the CSGO division and you were able to hold your own as the only CSGO DL for a time. 

[SwegBuster 879 / 15,758]

What no quote? 

 

Thank you fo r all you have done for us Crusti.

You may want to reword this.
