Last train home

[RedMann]

Hello guys,

After playing on this server for nearly 2 years and reaching one of the most covetous positions in the server, I think its time to take a break. And a natural one at that, I always told myself as Chairman, "Leave when it's not fun" and to be honest I was still having fun up until I handed in my resignation to the Super Admins 2 weeks ago, the tipping point for me was that I had a pretty intensive university timetable, and I want to prioritize enjoying my social and educational life by going out and touching some grass, so I figured that the server fell out of my schedule and I really felt it this week, I was struggling to get any hours in and didn't want to fall into inactivity and hog the slot.

As for being Chairman, I've spent 10 or so months second guessing nearly everything I've done and this is a massive weight off my shoulders, but I am nothing if not egotistical and am dying to know if I was any good, and hindsight, and others opinions, are everything when it comes to leadership positions, so do let me know. And for anyone who wants to take up being SC, go for it if you think you're ready, I've always encouraged people to give it a go because the worst case scenario is you get some quality feedback on self improvement.

I might come back, it depends on how I settle into school and how me schedule looks, but after playing this server for non stop for nearly 2 years, my return won't be soon and it won't be significant, i'll pop in for an update or every once and a while.

I have really enjoyed my time on this server, and I've left some messages for SL in the FCOM channels that I would encourage them to take to heart and put to practice, but what has made this server so great is the people I've met, mostly, so here's some of the best folks i've met while here

If I expressed my true feelings about you my rank would be stripped and my forum name would be struck through.
