All Great things must come to an end...
And what a great time it has been for me, so I’ll start off with a short history of my time in WG:

My time in WG

I first created an account on WG forums all the way back in early may 2006, after wondering what was taking up all of one of my good friends, Valdremia’s, time. I soon found that WG had to be one of the friendliest clan’s around and shortly afterwards in mid June I took the plunge and posted a fairly lengthy introduction.

http://z6.invisionfree.com/Wildguard/index...showtopic=14264

And a little under two weeks later this was followed by my application to become a “Skills Guardian”:

http://z6.invisionfree.com/Wildguard/index...showtopic=14829

I fairly swiftly began working on graduating, and soon graduated:

http://z6.invisionfree.com/Wildguard/index...showtopic=15855

Which I still like to go back and laugh at every so often, comments like this one still make me smile:

QUOTE (Theevildead2)
I was assigned Jordan/Jrm_04 as a mentor, someone I allready would have said was a friend, and I have to say I thoughrougly enjoyed being his mentee, and he certainly helped me to learn why NOT to stake (I dont know how many times I have seen the two words 'stake' and 'cleaned' associated with his name in the same sentence)


Anyway, I’m drifting off the topic…

Then barely a month later I was doing what I had sworn I would never do after my 6 months as the leader of “The Legacy” a small clan that I had been in previously, I decided to step up and take on the role of Skills Leader to help build up the then quite small “Skills Sector” thus beginning the near on 1 year of leadership which has shown its fair share of up’s and Down’s….

Some of the highlights of my time in WG:

-The 2007 “Big event of the year”
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb127/L...aco/Collage.jpg
I have to say this is the best event I have ever been to, and will possibly be the best event I will ever go to….. You haven’t lived until you have experienced a ‘market crash’ or an cabbage bomb in W2 fally….

-The first Skill Olympics
This was possibly the first time I truly ‘no lifed’ a skill, and I soon found that my crafting XP gain had exceeded the rest of the team combined (and it was more than the whole opposing clan’s too hash.png)

I guess to be honest those are the two times that have stuck with me the most in my WG history, the ‘big event’ being the longest event I have ever stayed on RS for, lasting something in the region of 4 hours? Epic doesn’t even begin to describe it.

And after 14 months in WG I have been trusted with a variety of positions ranging from Skills Leader to Moderator, to finally the rank that I hold now…. Council.

But once again all great things must come to an end, and it has been a great 14 months.

So why am I leaving?

So where do I start? I will admit that it is both my real life issues as well as clan issues that has brung me to this stage , but basically here is an outline of why I’m throwing in the towel:

My IRL situation
I know I’ve gone on about this a fair bit, but the variety of issues that I have to deal with is getting ridiculous. Obviously my hand is the base of most of these problems, but it has caused a massive amount of follow on effects that is really messing me up at the moment and as a result I have pulled out of university and will be moving home to live with my parents as soon as they get back from a holiday to Samoa.

My time in WG
Allot of you may not realise, but I have been in some form of a leadership position since I first joined WG. Of course I have asked for those roles and have loved the experience that it has given me, however there gets a stage where I no longer have the energy to keep on going. I feel that after 12 months it is time for me to take a break and let someone else have a go.

My Modship
Yes this has changed the way I look at RS allot. Most of all it has placed a few restrictions on what I can and can’t do in game which has meant a slight decrease in my ability as a council member.

My ability being questioned
While this is only one of the reason’s I am leaving it has been the thing that has tipped me over the edge. I am quite proud of the amount of work I have put into WG over the last 12 months and some of the things people have said to me recently have made me realise that regardless of what I do the work I put into WG almost always goes unnoticed.

Among others I have recently been called “uncommitted” along with more than one person suggesting that I don’t really do that much for WG, and more than anything that made me realise that my work for WG has been like climbing the second highest mountain in the world, in the sense that it is still a massive amount of work, but only your real friends notice or care.

So yeah…. It’s been a great 14 months, possibly the best 14 months of my RS career but it is time for me to resign from my current role as a WG council member. I am not going to do shoutout’s because I don’t want to write a list that covers honestly half the clan.

I am going to say thanks to 3 people though:

Valdremia – I don’t know how soon you will read this, however you are the person that caused me to join WG and honestly it has been a great time. I really hope to have time to talk to you on MSN/TS sometime in the near future.

Jrm_04- This guy is the proof that mentoring works. Though you’re nowhere as actives as you once were I still really enjoy every chance that we have to catch up, and I will no doubt get to talk to you over the next few weeks.

Anatcrafter- What can I say? Ever since we met you’ve been a great guy, but at the end of the day you are pretty much the least selfish person I know. Regardless of what you’re doing you are always happy to help out and I really appreciate it. You know where to find me hash.png

Don’t be upset that I didn’t mention you, because I can say with 100% honesty these 3 people are those who I have been closest to in my 14 months in WG. Ironically note they are all Australian or in a similar timezone…. No surprise there.

I would like emeritus if possible.

Oh man I didn't expect this. I dunno if you noticed something I said in the irc about 2 active council members, and as soon as I said it I thought to my self 'Oh shit what about Evil'. I truly hope this hasn't contributed to this decision as I have heard how much of your work slips under the radar. Thankyou for being an amazing council member, I just wish you could've stayed for longer.

wub.gif and sorry

Its been really great to know you. You were always the kind of leader we'd need, though RL has been catching up to you.

I rember jrm getting cleaned so many times. It was kinda funny trying to stop him from leaving. hash.png "Dont pull a jrm"

Ughh.. This is truly heart breaking to me. I started cussing out the computer when I heard of this. hash.png

Nevertheless, another TL down in WG.

You were yet another person that I felt like cheered me up every time I saw you in game or on IRC. I know you have had you problems with your wrist and hand, so we have not talked as much as we did before. You were and are a great guy and I hope that continues. Persuasion probably will not help at all, but I hope you revoke your decisions.

Goodbye Evil. Feel free to give me a PM on IRC or MSN to catch up with me whenever you please.

Just because I'm not a member of this clan Evil, it don't mean I can't see or hear the things that you've done to try and get this clan together. You were one of the constants here and quite possibly the best Council Member of the modern era of WG.

I can remember way back that people thought I didn't do anything for the clan either. Those remarks were mostly from people who had no idea what it's like behind the doors and in a leadership role because they were nothing more than sheep.

You can't worry about what them idiots say. I know you tried your best, you know you tried your best. That's all that really matters. What they think is trivial and don't mean a bucket of piss anyway. Let them continue to think that way, it's not your problem anymore. I commend you on your decision to leave. It takes guts to leave something you've enjoyed for so long, however, it's sad to see the reasons WHY you're leaving.

You have my best regards Evil and please, stop by #rick and chill out with me anytime you want. You've righted some wrongs and were there more times than not for me and I thank you for that.
