Sally's last words.
Alright, I will post this here so everyone ( Jason, Kris and Johnny ) will be able to read it and also read eachother's reply. Otherwise I would have PMed this due to private information...
The Angels of Death... This is the only criminal group that has meant VERY much to me in Argonath. I loved being a member in 2009 and loved it till this day. I truely believe there is only one group on Argonath, if not every SA:MP roleplay server, like this, like the Argonath Angels of Death. There is true friendship in the Angels of Death, There are great roleplay scenarios, there's lot's of oppertunities and last but not least, it never ends. The group cannot end as long as you are there, Jason, Kris, Johnny..
I don't know what happened at last church, but it saddens me to a real life extent, to see it coming to this. It is not the fact that you decided to kick me, that makes me sad, it is the way how. There must have been a lot of argueing about me at last church, a lot of talking. That's a true shame because it should have involved me.
IC/OOC have never been my favourite terms and I never openly supported them, because I was an Administrator. However, now that I am no longer an Administrator, I am going to use these terms to make myself, and my stance, clear.
Over the past few days, my old Captain, Matrixbob, was allowed to return to the SFPD, as a Captain. The current state the SAPD is in, is shocking, compared to the state it was in around 2009 or 2008. I have never liked this, because the SAPD also meant a lot to me. It was the first thing that occupied me in roleplay when I joined SA:MP Argonath. I always loved to roleplay an officer and always enjoyed my time in the SAPD, the good, and the bad times. I decided to step down from my position in the SAPD because things were changing. Not radically, just... changes. I no longer was able to maintain the required activity level for my rank either. I was forced to step down from my rank at that time, and with that, I also decided to leave the SAPD in its entirety.
From that point on, I have only seen bad changes happen to the SAPD. Ben Samiir happened, the SRU happened, the Current version of SWAT happened. Many people left, many people joined and many people returned... Recently, a lot of neutral and good changes have been made to the SAPD. It caught my interest. I never intended on rejoining the SAPD again, until... Matrixbob was put in charge again. Matrixbob was the last drop needed for me, to at least TRY and help the SFPD or SAPD. I know he won't disappoint anyone and I also know he can use my help. You never experienced the SAPD in its glory days, as SAPD member. It used to be a very enjoyable membership. I want to re-live that once again.
I don't, or didn't want to leave the Angels of Death because of that, but apperently, you already made up your minds before I was even accepted back. Who knows, maybe they'll deny me from returning... I can understand your point of view and I can also understand you kicking me from the Angels of Death, but I just didn't want it to happen like this. It was all an OOC issue. My opinion about the Ultranationalists, Me leaving church because of an OOC arguement with Kris, Me wanting to return to the SAPD with a different roleplay character... All these things should not have been brought to our roleplay. That is why I did not, and could not roleplay my punishment. I can take it, but only OOC.
I wish I was there when you were discussing my case, so I could've commented, corrected and helped in deciding. I would have agreed in me being forced to leave the Angels of Death if that would involve : maintaining friendship, possiblity of return and outsider roleplay. My personal preference would've been to just be a Veteran and ARPD member in a different character. I support multiple characters, because that allows people to have more fun. I also understand that the Angels of Death requires commitment, so I would have given you my Enforcer patches anyways, and ask for Veteran patches instead, if I could have.
When we were talking things over in the CB channel, Kris banned me from the channel, not because I said something wrong, not because there was a heated discussion, but because I was kicked from the AoD... This is what saddens me so much. It was just not needed. I would have left the CB channel voluntary if you would have asked me to do so. It is such a rude gesture and totally unneeded, because even if I would not be a member, I could've been in the channel just to talk with you, my friends, about anything at all. Instead, a CB ban out of nowhere appeared. I believe this a good reason for me to cease any private contact and friendship with you, Kris and Johnny, for the coming month. I take it that is what you would want anyways, if you felt it was needed to ban me from the channel anyways.
I will miss the Angels of Death so much, I can tell you that already. The roleplay, the jokes, the friendship, it is and was unique throughout the entire internet. I hope these days will -ever- be re-lived and I hope we will be able to talk this over in the undecided future, if this message was not clear enough.
Goodbye,
Sal
