Farewell my friends

By Robertw56 on 29/09/2008
Here I am today, around 11 months of service to WG, it comes to an end, this is indeed my resignation and leaving post.

I've been pondering this for well over 2-3 weeks, mainly the reasons of my activity, people pointing out that I'm not pulling my weight, not being on Runescape enough.

First off, I'd like to say the reason I'm not on Runescape a lot is down to the fact; I would rather shoot myself than play Runescape sometimes, the only aspect of the game I enjoy is the PvP, that is it. I find no point in playing, it is repetitive and down right boring to play.

And me not pulling my weight, well thats my fault, I find it hard to do Council work after being AT work all day for 7-8 hours. When I get home I don't want to be on IRC all night fixing problems, I don't work like that, I should of realised what I was getting into when I applied for Council, sadly I didn't. The only way you can realise how stressful Council can be, is to actually take up the position and do the day to day jobs that come up.

Basically, I sucked really, a lot of you seem to think that, fair enough, but there was no need to rub it in my face.

_________________________________

Ok onto a different subject, the PvP side of WG.

I'm a warring person, through and through, I don't skill, I don't go boss hunting and all that crap. I need excitment, I need PKRI's. It seems the things I want to do, WG doesn't.

I've tried to get WG more into warring, but have to realise, WG is community based, not warring, that was my mistake. I probably could of tried harder, but I can't change what people want, hell thats impossible.

But hey whatever, I'm sure you'll find a new Warlord who wants to do warring and community based events, I was an asshole and just wanted warring.

_________________________________

My career in WG has been....slighty weird some might say, it's gone like this;

Trial guardian
Guardian
Elite Guardian <--- Don't ask how i skipped higher guardian.
Trial raid leader
Raid leader
Clan friend
Ex-member
Trial guardian
Guardian
Raid leader <- DZ promoted me on the spot, no application.
Council <- I get voted in a way I didn't want, with the council choosing whether to let me in or not, never liked the fact that I never got accepted properly.

And here I am now, writing my resignation, it had to come sometime.

I could do shout-outs, but I'd be here till tommorow morning writing them out, I'm just going to do a few people who come to mind that have really made an impact on my time in WG;

Dale - Best friends till the end hash.png You made WG fun for me, whenever i was down you'd have something funny to say XD.

Vince - You're just an awesome guy, cool to talk to, great guy all round, we'll keep in touch.

Randy - You're one of the most dedicated people here, have a great mind, very creative, awesome guy hash.png

Pazenon - My first mentee back in late 2007 I believe, you are probably the nicest guy I know, always something positive to say, we'll keep in touch man smile.gif

And the rest of the Council, you can see my post in Level 4.

__________________________

Well thats it, I will officially leave on Sunday 12th October. (I posted my Resignation in Level 4 on Sunday 28th September)

Please, I beg that you let me go in peace. I will continue my duties as a Warlord until those dates, like I agreed to on my application to Council.

Good luck Rob
You better stay emeritus or i'll kill you

By Sativas on 29/09/2008
If you like warring but not the other stuff, why don't you just step down to raid leader?

Then not as much will be expected from your rank, then what you already do.

Anyway, you were one of the people to get me to app.

Would be a shame to see you go. sad.gif

By Randy on 29/09/2008
No point of making a huge long post because i'm obviously going to see you again lol.

But yeah, you'll be missed and not forgotten. I hope you enjoy whatever you do next and goodluck!

wub you

By NightRawrs on 29/09/2008
Wow. Did not expect this, Rob, although you are inactive you did do alot for the clan, and i respect that. Not enough people know what it's like to be council and judge.

Can't you take emertius? I still want you around sad.gif I <3 my skins hottie tongue.gif

Nah i joke, stay around Rob, you're an amazing guy most the time and will be sorely missed.. I do hope some1 good takes up your spot.

Hey Rob, We have had our differences, but we have overcame them, and im glad.

I was one of the people, that questioned your activity. I questioned it to your face. And im glad i did so. I immediately noticed that you where online at more on IRC, also on RS. Instantly my respect for you, doubled, no trebled.

I think your a really nice guy rob. Glad we have you untill the 12th atleast.



By Chappell44 on 29/09/2008

Im not on your list, we're through.

By Pazenon on 29/09/2008
I can easily say that you had the biggest influence on me throughout my time in WG, the first person I could call a friend when I joined.

Respect man, I really hope you find what you want where you're heading next. <3

Sorry to see you go Rob. I wish we could of talked more.

At least you'll remember me blaring BFMV in your ears on TeamSpeak while you were doing barrows. wub.gif

Good luck to you IRL and RS, wherever you go to next, you're a good guy, I'm sure you'll have no problems in joining a different clan.

By Tezza Rulz12 on 29/09/2008
OMG Rob sad.gif

You've done so much for Wg PvP-wise.

You'll alwys be remembered

By Aardvark39 on 29/09/2008
I dont dislike you at all Rob and i can see alot of this deciscion came based on Rick But also as myself as once one of the top 2 alliance leaders with over 13k members yeh it can take its toll big time, I was sad to leave the alliance but was happy to be free from all the added stress, it became more than real life, so many meetings etc and stress, it wore me out.

If you do go ahead and leave us I wish you the best in life man wink.gif

It's a fucking bad thing.

And frankly WG's community has failed us today.
We forced a council member out of his own clan again...
AND I KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE AND IT FEELS LIKE SHIT.

I will not stand around and let my council be treated like that.
Rob's done plenty for WG, and not been recognised.
I TOTALLY get what he means about coming back to deal with kids bitching on the IRC.
I personally am going to put an end to that.
I can't stand IRC drama either.

But this topic is about Rob.
He's walking out the door and you can't see what you are all fucking going to lose.
De ja vu all over again.
Fucking hell.

For the first time since I've returned, I hate my job.

By ArSeNaLfAn32 on 30/09/2008
Oy. May the hash.png be with you. Come back in IRC at least once a month so I can power abuse you please.

I meant it wasn't a bad thing that I saw it coming.

Of course it's a bad thing that he's leaving. Do you think I'm that fucking dense?

But he IS leaving, and he wants to leave in peace. No matter of bitching will make him change his mind, so I won't bitch like many others will. I will say goodbye to him in a friendly manner, because we are friends.

By Sir Wolfoo on 30/09/2008
Your going to be missed rob..also by me. Was nice having such a good warlord and friend in WG. I'm going to miss receiving messages from you telling me to attend upcoming wars hash.png now i'm going to receive them from someone else sad.gif


By Nick on 30/09/2008
Well I was not able to get to really know you, since the council/warlord elections started a day or so after I became a trial guardian. After that point I saw you rarely, probably because of my timing, and also because of your busy reasons. I was thinking that you may leave, due to your inactivity lately, but when you posted the topic that you were going to start trying to be more active and play RuneScape again, it made me think that you would be staying for a bit longer.

Good luck to whereever you go. Hopefully you find a place that you will enjoy.

Sorry for any thing that I may have done to make your stay here unenjoyable.

By Quikdrawjoe on 30/09/2008
Sad, now I can't use you as an example of how amazing hardworking people can go far. Now there's no more examples, nobody else joined as close as we did though so if you ever come back I'll outrank you for the first time ever. But good luck Rob.

On another note, why the fuck can't WG keep a warlord for an extended period of time??

By General199 on 30/09/2008
I feel horrible for having not given you a fair and competitive run for warlord. I probably could have just not been bothered by certain things and kept going against you. BUT! I had faith in you 100% and that was why I relinquished myself in the end. ILY ROB. I'll always keep you on Msn and if you ever need to chat it up. I am there for you bro.

By Indivi2you on 30/09/2008
When there was you, DZ, and Zach, WG was such a dominant force to be wreckened with. Now you are all gone, its just not the same warring under bto+glenn (noobs <3)

You have a place in my mind as a legendary warlord Rob, i just wanted you to know. The reason you like PvP so much is because your really good at it.

Sucks that you lost interest in Runescape, cause you were an awesome guy/leader/member of WG, no matter what anyone says, i'll always think that.

All i can say is take care bro

IMO you ought to stay as Emeritus so you can still come to the wars etc as that's the part of RS you like biggrin.gif

Good luck with whatever you do in the future dude. I'll miss your mop head tongue.gif And your sexy voice on TS wink.gif

When you re-joined again, we were good friends. Then you got too busy with your Raid Leader and stuff, and we didn't talk any more.

Only recently did I realise your a great guy again. I'm sorry we weren't always the best of friends, but I will miss you when you leave.

Take care man.

By Havochaha on 30/09/2008
please rob just wait till he new pvp comes out...

By Abmanju on 30/09/2008
I hate posting on these things =\.

You saw my post in Level 4 Rob, you know how I feel.
It'll be hard to find a replacement for you, I say you teach what you can to the Raid Leaders or anyone you feel will get the next position as a Warlord.

Hands down, while you were a warlord, you were a fantastic one towards our warring side, we won a lot of battles and I am personally proud how far you've come, at the same time, very sad you are leaving the position.

I can't say this as much as Eugene, as he's had..triple (quadruple) the experience of it, but I know how you feel when Members take a shot at your hard work.

You'll still be on Msn yus =D Keep in touch (of course we will lul)

~Abs

By Samurai-JM on 30/09/2008
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB you can't leave! But I guess you have to.. sad.gif

I'm really hoping this isn't all about that wars vs. skillers post a while back, because if it is, I'm pretty ashamed at the clan. This is a community clan, far more than a runescape clan, in fact we've been through enough to call ourselves family here. Even through all of this though, we still have to treat each other like this and just throw our friends out because of a minor disagreement? This is bad.

Cya dude, GL to you wherever you decide to go from here, and I hope to see you around the forums once in a while.

By Robertw56 on 30/09/2008
Going to miss you all a lot, I'll definetly be on the forums.

By Rick Hamm on 30/09/2008
Why is my name being brought up in this? Rob and I have a mutual friendship here, even though things started out a little hairy between us. We have spoken at some lengths about what's going on and I truly think Rob is a great leader. He at least takes the time to listen, not only to problems, but to criticisms as well. No other leader here does that.

Rob, you and I have gotten to be pretty good friends over the interim and I'm very glad for that. You really have a great personality and you know what it takes to succeed (even if I do disagree with them wink.gif ). You've managed to do quite a bit for WG and as usual, go forgotten because you're Council. IMHO we don't give Council the credit they deserve for the things they DO do.

I told you this more than once Rob that if you ever need me, I'll be there. If you have any issues, problems, concerns, or just wanna shoot the shit, that's what friends do...they listen and try to help. I hope that you see me in this capacity and will utilize it if you need/have to.

I wish you well on your future endeavors in RS and in life. You know what you want, now go and get it. As long as you're happy and content, that's all that matters.

Gene was right when he said that this is a big blow to WG, however Rob, you've given us some of the tools we need to thrive and survive this...and for that I thank you.

By Tnuac on 30/09/2008
Sad to see you step down, but by the point you're prepared to make a public leaving topic, it shows that its time you can't fully commit anymore. Noble of you to step down for the good of the clan. You've done a good job so far. People coming and leaving council is not a rare thing, we've had so many council over the years, it just shows what a tough job it is, and after a few months you realise you have spent enough of your youth times doing slave labour with little recognition.

QUOTE
I've tried to get WG more into warring, but have to realise, WG is community based, not warring, that was my mistake. I probably could of tried harder, but I can't change what people want, hell thats impossible.


I admire the way you tried to stick at your goal but, as you have rightly discovered, wg likes warring but we're not an army, we have many interests. We'll try our damn hardest at warring, enjoy it, and show good organisation, but aren't the sort of clan to force it on people.

Best of luck in the future rob, and enjoy the freedom wink.gif

By Mangomaniac2 on 01/10/2008
Bye Rob. sad.gif Don't treat yourself like you weren't a good council member. Each person contributes differently, and you were the one who was more of a warring council, but thats how you always were, especially since you came from being a raid leader. Hopefully, you'll be around and I'll get to talk to you sometimes, between my own inactivity.

Good luck Rob

By Mustangred1 on 02/10/2008
You was probaly one of my best RS friends we had ALOT of fun....
Great times great times...
You got my number bro keep in touch


By T Dwag on 02/10/2008
Aw man. With the new updates coming up soon do you think you could maybe be emeritus or even a member rank? They seem pretty fun and it would be great if you could hang and own it up with all those new PvP games. Rob you were a great leader, a great person, and we've shared many moments with you. I really hope one day you'll come back, maybe when WG is stronger in the warring section and start dominating those new PvP games. I wish you the best in real life and where ever you decided to go, you really were an inspiration.

I could say more but it's been said, good luck man.





I'll never forget you or your table.

This is not about us now is it, it's about the way Rob left. Seems to me he should of left ages ago if he was so stressed wink.gif and im only one member. There are countless others who will most likely agree that what he said had such a nice attitude towards it. As for the logging in at Catherbury, i pm'd you asking what event and got no reply so that's not my fault wink.gif I checked forums and saw no event posted.

Go join RoT, then you will see just how fucked up members can be.

Join Rot back around 1-2 years ago, and you'll see even worse Ying. Most of RoT's attitude aren't really serious, and have never been. But they can still p2p.

I was hoping he would change his mind. I am a bit disappointed it went this way with him. I may not be the perfect war person, but I try to not be disrespectful.

Good Luck Rob. I hope your new clan gives you all the wars you want. WG was your home for a long time and you will be missed by many here. Maybe look for a clan with no IRC then communtiy wont get in your way. You can always visit the lobby of WG.
