Hola,
It's been a while since I've taken a break and considering the bullshit you are all creating it's safe to say it's a much needed one. As of now, Mikro will temporarily lead the development team and it's progress. Sometime in the next month we will also be bringing on a new developer.
I won't be around on the forums or on Skype. Do not try to contact me. I don't want to hear from any of you. Seriously, it's cancerous. I mean okay if it's urgent I am always available via Devin.
In my new found freetime I will actually be developing a Minecraft mod and spending more time preparing for certification exams.
Don't worry, unlike my last break I am not debating on if I should stay. I already do that without a break, but I will do my best to not even think of Argonath.
Hasta La Vista
P.S I have no idea how long it'll be, a week, a few weeks, a month, a few months. Who cares.

The level of moaners, people who cry about every single thing that happens when they don't win a virtual fight, people who bitch about everything they get or see happening and the mentality of roleplaying and killing people for the most lame reasons you can ever see has gone wild. Take your time.

Three and counting.
See you around.

I'm down if you need me! :D

To be honest, I personally haven't seen that much 'bullshit' on the forums lately, but maybe that's just me. Either way, take as long as you want and enjoy your time off.

You will be missed. :janek:

Enjoy your break Teddy, some time the community seems like that to me because I hang out with the wrong people, can't imagine actually having to deal with every single person, it was probably this or a hearth attack. Take care!

@Teddy I think I still have mine, if I'm useful for you let me know.
And for the people that has dedicated his time to talk bullshit 24/7 I hope you are all happy, it seems that this is what you people wanted to happen.
-
Who cares.
Exactly, no one.
As a recent discussion with Teddy over skype, I have realized the true intention of the break he's taking from the community and I'd like to say for the record, that you will be missed considering you and a couple of others are the few left in the community with some actual sense in their mind. I do apologize on my bad behavior, specifically towards you as you did nothing to deserve it. Good luck on your exams, and hope you pass with flying colors.

It's funny you say that because I've seen more administrators moan about moaners than actual moaning itself. Heh.
-
See you in the shadows Teddy, And do keep us updated on that mod. I'm up for something new ;)
And well indeed, this is what our staff's heading to. It's the reason I'm inactive as well. :neutral2:
-
This was inevitable, not surprised and frankly it's well deserved and needed. Give it a few weeks and/or months and people will soon realize what they lost when they once had it.
Luckily, I've developed a friendship with you, and can maintain contact with you, so on that note I'll speak with you soon. :)

Implying the forums, and the public view space of the forums, is the only place bullshit can occur. There is much more than can be seen by you and the general public going on in private boards, Skype, Telegram, private messages, etc.
Exactly, no one.
I'll send you a PM. I don't want my rant to ruin anyone else's mood.

It's interesting to point this out. So many people assume bullshit only comes from the players when in reality administration and even HQ isn't really excluded from my perspective. They bitch just as much as the next, and to be quite honest it's even more annoying when it comes from them since it's not something you'd expect. But then again, your perspective is limited to the public scope and not mediums you cannot see.

Eh, hasn't really bothered me the last few days thanks to a much needed new perspective. I really just need to focus on preparing for another certification and to work on my mod I've been delaying for again.

Let's be honest, they haven't lost anything even if I left. Sure I am a scripter and all but truth be told Mikro is much better a scripter than I am. I just happen to be a much quicker scripter than average and can do a weeks worth of work within a typically a day or two. In any case, I am no more important to this community than the next. I stand by my view that what really matters to the community is the people and how they interact with it. You can have the best developer in the world build the best script in the world and it won't mean shit if the community doesn't do something great with it.
well, how are we gonna sleep at night now?
I can read you a bedtime story if you'd like, but don't expect a kiss goodnight.

Perhaps bullshit wasn't the right word to use. It's just really a lot of stress to deal with. Having to deal with complaints, script issues, hardware issues, outages, more complaints, managing a staff team that is well honestly doesn't impress me, not to mention my mom's chihuahua waking me up at 7 am when I've just gone to bed at 6 am... useless dog, and of course the biggest being the conflicts with the owner which have gotten pretty heated. So no, I am not saying specifically people moaning and bullshit, just the bullshit that comes with having so many tasks to manage and so little time to do it.
-
I see now I've made this seem to be like I am talking only about the players when I say 'bullshit' and as I explained above, perhaps bullshit wasn't the best word choice. My choice was made primarily because of the stuff I have to deal with on a day to day basis really putting a lot of pressure and stress on me. And as Stivi said to me privately, I should've expected this.... and I did. I knew this was going to happen and I was okay with it. Honestly, what has been the tipping point has been conflicts between me and the owner which you've only seen the tip of the iceberg on the forums. Admittedly, we've talked it out and resolved our differences. However the toll that put on me with the hardware outage recently, and an intrusion attempt (yeah sorry, didn't tell you about that), and the constant back and forth between cops and criminals, has been just too much on top of the stress of managing my farms in Minecraft, and preparing for a certification exam (casp if anyone's curious), and dealing with life in general.
I am sorry if it came off as entirely blaming the players. Wasn't my intention. A few, very few, of you are annoying af tho.

Good luck with your certification, Teddy.
Might I suggest that chiwuawuas make excellent rugby balls?

Get some sun, enjoy summer bruh.

Wish you well and much love <3

If you need help with Minecraft, don't hesitate to Skype me ;)
Have fun, and please no clubbing :D We want you alive :lol:
-
Good luck with the break Teddy, i know well how breaks are as i took a 2-year one from Argonath already. Seems like that server just pushes you back.. arr.
-
I have noticed that just focusing on developing and not going in-game / paying attention to forums / crying on Skype is beneficial for both me and the community (since you get more updates!) so I think we'll just proceed on that, I am not going to be on forums or Skype much, just writing updates since I do still find myself with an abundance of free-time.
Mikro will remain in charge for now as I still have a few days left before certification exam.

for someone who took a leave for an unidentified amount of times ur here a lot

Ah, but he's here much less than he was... he's only popped in to announce a new script, you should thank him really.
-
I don't wanna be a dick but I think some people would rather see some of the old stuff fixed and rebalanced before seeing new additions.... we desperately need a storing system, rebalanced weed, improved /wear, etc....

Few ideas here I posted over the past few days:

Though the other Marcel (you're confusing me :() acknowledged the last suggestion

That's what you gotta do. I don't want to seem like a dick who's telling people what to do but go outside, do sports, hang out with your friends, drink alcohol I don't know. You can't spend a lot of your spare time working for the community, can you? In the meantime, don't even think about us. Don't even open your Skype for a couple of weeks, shut your all connections with the community members.
And we? I think we can leave it all to ingenious hands of other developers, well at least until you come back :)
