Well, farewell

[Mircea_Niko]

   Ugh, personally I don't really like making such topics since first I don't usually do such things at all, I don't know where to start or to end. I wouldn't make it if it wasn't for last night and some discussions I had with some players in the first place, but after I saw that some people actually care of the fact that I'm leaving (which really surprised me) I decided that it's worth to make at least a goodbye.

   Well, big question is, why? I've been here for exactly 7 years and a week, from 11th of February 2011 until now, on 18th in 2017, and went through two different eras of the community, of course, RS4 and RS5. I won't disagree both had its flaws, but in RS5 there's something that changed drastically from RS4, and that's the actual roleplay sense and fair play. Let's be honest, nowadays it's only deathmatch, team deathmatch, whenever you get suspected you simply go out in /p and moan or react in /l and /q, you call an admin because you consider it's abusive. Admins nowadays are needed to continue even the tiniest of roleplay interactions because players are too paranoid and simply hate each others so much they wait for the first mistake to report and get the counterpart punished. You don't have to trust me on my own word, but take a look at the forums, it's filled with that.

   I don't know what happened, why people radically transformed from RS4 to RS5, but in this transition, things went so bad we lost half of the playerbase. Seriously - 50-60 players nowadays vs. 110-120, and I'm not stating that we need so many players for basic roleplay, quality over quantity afterall, but gives you a point of view on things.

   But I'll stop here, since this is not a complaining topic or arguing, even though I know it'll turn into one for some individuals that really hate me here, for some reason. I don't get why people would get hate over a game. Maybe I'm missing something. I'm not seeking attention by making this topic or looking for people to cry on my leave or anything, nah, that's not me, I don't have that ego. I made it because I thought it would be nice to say a kind goodbye to the players I went through the years. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret anything. But sometimes we just have to go forward if we feel something isn't right.

   I'd firstly like to thank the FBI... well, I don't mean scripted FBI with the /weaponequip and /rank, I couldn't care less about that. FBI is not that, it's not /duty with M4 and Rancher all day long and court cases. FBI is a family, a family I got to know exactly an year ago, time which I served in. I thought I'll never see so much kindness, hope, understanding, friendship. I never thought that the group I always wanted to join could be like this, I don't know what I expected, but I got what I needed. You're awesome you all, maybe I didn't speak enough on Discord, but it was just painful for me to.. go, at that time, thus why I wanted to keep short. You are the group that anybody would give a bone to join, and not for the scripts and advantages, but for the family you'll get to have. Makes me cry and laugh at the same time that people have no idea how FBI really is and what they are missing, and they just mock it and blame it all on it. Hah.

   How could I now mention WS? I could never dream before to join the White Shadows at all, and now I found myself a member of one of the greatest clans in the game, if not the best (Sorry [Rstar], Peter is both, so officially we're better ok tyvm). When I was accepted, I couldn't believe how great is the feeling of taking part of the clan, having such people to play and discuss with. Well, not like I was talking too much but I did enough to realize what kind of people were in the WS. I can truly call them awesome, and now, I'm loyal to the end, and the reason I didn't leave just yet and can be still found IG is that there's some internal things to settle and I would like to wait and see them happen. I can't be grateful enough that you guys, you accepted me in and took me in the family, you're awesome, I hope to keep close to you!

   Admins, administration, HQ, the red, lit guys themselves played a great deal in my time spent here. If it wasn't for them, who else would keep me away from the abusers and deathmatchers? (it isn't funny but you should laugh so I don't feel bad - oh wait, I can't feel anything, so just skip this) I want to thank all staff members that I collaborated with in the past, since 2011, some of them still play here, keep going guys. And those who are right now, don't give up, I know it's stressful to deal with some people.......... but you can do it. I always trusted the administration and will always do, and have my most honest respect towards them, since they waste their time handling our rulebreaking asses. Damn, you guys work with lots of asses. Literally.

   Also, all of the players I ever encountered, and haven't. Even people that are well known to hate me. To bust this myth, no, I don't have anyone and I don't seek to witchhunt anyone, despite what one of the individuals said in one of the most let's say controversial topic at this time, I don't hate anyone, really, I don't even despise anyone, not at all, so yeah, no need to hate on me, cause I don't hate on you. Either way, shoutout to the veterans and those people that were close to me in all this time, keep it up guys, don't let the community die.

   Did I miss anyone? Hm.. oh, yeah.

   There are some people that I created a special bond with and that I can call them, true, friends. (now I looked to my left and saw that "Birthday Calendar" is actually mispelled "Calender", Gandalf, pls fix). They changed my life both IG and IRL and I can't ever thank them enough for being part of my life. Or, also some people that did something that I remember with a smile on my face and probably tears in my eyes, simply, people that I will always remember.

   Dean Callaghan - Mate, I knew there was something special about you back when I was scammed and you just gave away your houses and cars so I just could have money to buy another. You might not remember, but I remember everything. That was the first time I cried over a game, but from happiness. Props to you you lul in de koelkast netherlander freak.

   Khm - You stupid cow, we go way back, including DEA (Jesus Christ don't get me started), Stunt, Argo itself, we've got history. We maybe haven't interacted too much lately but I still want to keep you close. Moo.

   Lionel Valdes - I was looking through the ARPD Forums and I saw that my very first inbox message was from you, a Good Luck message with my SAPD application. That goes as far as 2012. How times change, Captain. Now, we talk politics and culture on Facebook, don't forget to drop me a message sometime.

   The Romanians - Brothers from other mothers, yeah, we're all tight, no matter if you're criminal or law sided. Derek and Mike, we keep close on Discord ay? Also some SAPD Recruits that I get to talk sometime, you know yourselves, and those guys from the Richman hills and Baysde, we don't talk too often but when we do, we make it worth. Noroc!

   SAPD(former and current) - We fought so much alongside so many, and lost so less in that time. Cooperating with you and playing with you and taking part in so many operations and shootout, how could I ever forget you all. Keep it up, I hope SAPD and FBI relations stay tight, no matter what.

   FBI - I literally have no words, I'm 18yo but the emotion that takes place whenever I talk about you makes my eyes moist and get me started on crying. I'll keep you as close as I can, no matter what. I literally love you. All of you.

   Jenny - I miss our long nights on Facebook and video chats we used to have, looking forward for more. I remember that after I turned Luciano (that reminds me) you performed my first ever arrest as a legit criminal. Damned you be girl!

   Luciano - ..quite surprising, but when I joined after DEA (...) got closed down, I got what I expected less, and despite being called deathmatchers, they weren't really at all back in that time. Hope it stays around.

   Shoutout to Gvardia, Corleone and the other clans that I interacted with and had fun with in roleplays.

   There are more people that I need to thank, I can't write too much about you all because you'd be too many, but you know yourselves, hope you don't get upset, you know who you are and how much I appreciate you and that I bow down to our friendship. But, there is one person, that I couldn't leave unmentioned.

   Matthew, we go as back as 2011, and I can't ever forget our first adventure. We got copbanned for freely using the Enforcer at Mordor through Los Santos, and both got in trouble then with SAPD Command. Hi Captain Adams, you still hold the greatest record of copbans on my head. Hope you're proud! Hehe. Anyway, since then, we kept tight. What happened in 2011-2013/14 is our little secret and I won't reveal here, but it was that time after DEA got closed and we haven't spoke to each other for months.. I left Argo for an year then and when I came back, you were FBI Division Chief. And beforehand SAPD Detective. What the fuck? Even if I didn't want to admit, I was happy to see my friend reach so far. I wanted to take back what we had, and I thought that I should give FBI a shot after all this time in which my hopes were as low as Lustig's water flying. Even then, you accepted me, and we became close again. You've done so much for me that I can never repay you, and despite what everyone thinks here, in Argonath, you're the one that everyone would wish to ever have at least a conversation with you. You're the definition of a true friend and a dedicated leader. I know you got mad when I made my resignation, and it broke my heart to have that conversation last night, but.. I really have to, I'm sorry. I don't want to say goodbye to you, even though I failed you so much both IRL and in FBI, but that is all up to you. I just want to thank you, for everything.

   As I said, I'm not good at goodbyes or such topics, I don't even know if Speakerbox is the place to post it, feel free to move it moderators. I just thought that a honest goodbye is the least you guys deserve in all this time.

   Thank you for everything. Love you all. I hope to see you soon, if you really wish, contact me on Facebook (those who have it, ask me if someone needs it please, I'll happily give it) or Steam, whatever you wish. Good luck in your future endeavors and I wish you all the best - all of you.

   Farewell.

You're a really nice guy, good luck in your life ahead. Farewell

What can I say...  FBI goes above and beyond as a team, over the past two years, we have made it a small virtual family, it became all about friendship and looking after each other, not about it being dead people inside with no care for each other and only snitching. And I look after each of you and stand with you with whatever you stand for, and if you, my members, are against something, I'll be with you and stand on the same side. You all know what I say, I'm the leader of FBI, its members, its interests, I don't care what others want, what other people's interests are or what they expect from me, I'm here to serve and protect your interests and to stand by you, my members and secure you an independent agency that the FBI itself represents.

Anyways, you're leaving Argonath, we're still connected through discord and other channels, it's not like you're disappearing from the face of Earth. Either way, if you're to be back, a spot is open.

[AryaN]

I have been playing here from 2010. You are very well known to me but seems like we never interacted. Farewell though. Good luck for the rest

[Khm]

Damn, you have so many onions around you. Oh well, everyone has to move at some point. Farewell.
