I KNOW this isn't the right section, and that this isn't SPAM. But I want a section that I can moderate and lock myself.
Now, you all know that Kent left Nod69 a couple of weeks ago. But he also came back just as quickly you can say the alphabet. People have been leaving Nod69 and coming back, due to people really wanting them back. This is not really the time nor do people have the feelings for another trusted member to leave. If you already haven't noticed.. yes, I'm leaving. I love Nod69, it has been the best community up until now. And I have never spent this much money through the Internet to something small as a community. Not saying that Nod69 is a small community, but you get my point.
Now, this is the most important part (for me atleast). I'm only leaving Nod69 TEMPORARILY! There are some different reasons, and I will list them right here:
There are a couple months left until summer vacations, and I will be having alot homework. Which means I won't have time to play.
Sad, but true - Nod69 is getting weaker. I can't feel the same enthusiasm anymore. Maybe it's just me, but it has gotten quiet.. very quiet. Before people used to talk alot on the Forum - it was active. But it's not so much active now, seeing that many people have left Nod69.
Then there is the RPG server. I know, I cannot blame Nod69 that the RPG isn't working, but it's not fun without the RPG. It feels as if all fun was over there.
After that comes WCS. In overall the server is great, it's fun and entertaining. But the crashes lately has almost made it impossible for me to HAVE FUN while playing. (The meaning of games is to have fun, right?) It lags alot and there are many players who are better than me (lol) which, unfortunately, causes me sometimes to rage.
There are some more things, but they aren't really necessary to write.
Now, to make this miracle happen I have created a Folder on my computer with a random name. Inside that folder there are around 10+ folders, (inside one folder is another, and inside that one another etc.) with the last one containing my CS:S, Steam & everything that has with Steam to do. Which basically means that it still would take some time before I find them, and as I am a LAZY fat-arsed Japanese freak who loves hentai - I will probably not even bother to find them.
The community and the servers will still have fun without a hentai-freak, right? And about my Admin statuses etc., I don't care. As long as I can help Nod69 in whatever way necessary, I will do so. For me, money isn't important. I hate money, I really do. You all know I study Society, and I can start talking about Economy if I want, but I will not. So, if I feel like donating or buying Admin.. I will do so for Master Markes sake.
I hope you enjoy the time I'm not playing, trust me. A day without a whining noob is awesome I will still check on the Forum sometimes, and I forgot to add (lazy to add it in my text..), I will not be online on Steam.
You have valid points there. I have gotten too lazy and am having some emotional and psychological conflicts/issues over the past.. 6 months or so. If I had been more decisive I would've probably fixed SRPG and the crashes, but words are just words.
It's good that you stated it's only temporary. If other admins(not gonna name them) can be inactive for months and still keep their admin, then you can be inactive for years and still keep it.
Yes, to be honest, I've noticed a little. But first thing's first. Life issues/conflicts have top priority over something like a game. And I, too, really need to start caring about myself, my girlfriend and school. I'm getting depressed way too much, and I argue about really small things with my girlfriend. Sometimes I just get ahead of myself and never think of the consequences, so I really need to work on that.
The only thing that's keeping me on CS:S is Nod69. If I wouldn't have been a member here, I would've already stopped playing. Sometimes, it just feels as if I have no emotions at all. And people I know have been telling me I'm acting strange. So I really hope I will find the core of my problems, and that it works out for you aswell.
Uhh, i'm reding right, yes? (guess so) Hmm. Kevin. I still remember my first days in Nod69, with you. It was awesome! You remember? But now, you're leaving us.. Sad, really sad. I think i'm talking for everyone in Nod69 when i say We will miss you. I really hope that, your life, problems and everything ends good. You know I, We and Nod69 love you. Keep that in your mind when you are thinking about the great time you had here. Also, you said temporarily. Hope you come back very soon then. (Mark. You should really start to do more for Nod69.)
I can't believe what I'm reading.. You guys don't have fun just because of the SRPGs temporary downtime? Seriously.. Sure, I was stupid to leave Nod69 for my bad reasons, but still.. NOT HAVING FUN is just a pathetic way of leaving.. (Please, do not be offended of what I write) I mean.. Aren't you a member of Nod69 because you like Nod69? I know I am.. And I also know that I wont even dream about leaving again since I "fell in love" with Nod69 and the Owners, Admins and so on, I don't care if it is fun or boring.. You shouldn't either. Sure, you can rage sometimes, but does that make you have more fun? I know I rage sometimes aswell, but when I do I just shut the game down until I find myself in a calm position again.
Bottom Line is, don't leave for such a silly reason as "Not having Fun" or "Bored" or whatever.. I do understand you Kevin since your whole future builds upon your school although I do not get the part where you say that it's "not fun".
Xezam, SRPG was the best server ever. We had so fucking much fun there. My time in Nod69 started there and i've good memories from the server. I really miss it. But, i didn't leave because it's boring to play. As you might know. I played CS:S every day, i mean EVERY DAY for 1 year, so i was going to quit CS:S. But, to make that happen, i needed to leave Nod69. And, i left you guy with a reason. "It's boring.". Like, Admin abused and Mark didn't care that much. He was lazy. We also lost a lot of members, so it was less fun. And, i was tired of sitting in my room everyday and playing CS:S. So, that's why i left. But, i understand people. They miss SRPG, so do I. It looks like it never comes back. Well, can't do anything. I hope Kevin is having a nice time without Nod69. After all, i think he need a brake.
My reason is the same as Kents. Like I mentioned, if not Nod69, I wouldn't be playing CS:S anymore. But that changed; I almost play CS:S everyday, for an unreasonable amount of time - and later on, I whine on myself why I didn't do my homework. So I figured the best way of atleast preventing me from playing games and having fun, was to leave the fun. Now there is nothing fun to do on my computer, and while my girlfriend is beside me she will always push me to do my homework, so it will work out whatever reason/location/time etc.
I also didn't leave because the RPG was down, but that it just wasn't fun when the WCS crashed all the time. Which means - if the WCS crashes, I won't have fun, right? And if I'm not having fun, but still playing CS:S, that means it's a waste of time. The time that runs out, I could've spent on doing homework instead.
So my point here is: If the WCS wouldn't crash all the time, I would play and have fun, and also play a reasonable amount of time PLUS do my homework.
I hope you understand, I'm not leaving permanently. This is just temporary so I can fix my IRL problems, and until it's fixed - I will try not to play CS:S. However... expect me to join the WCS once in a while
