OOC - Farwell.
This is what I sent to the main, in case it's decided not to be published, I will leave it here to announce my departure.
"I decided to send this through the submission and not the ask because I feel like this is going to be big.
I'll start with the beginning. Lately I've been in a bad place. College is kicking my ass, and my motivation to keep my muses going was close to zero. Just as I recovered, and started role-playing more, things changed around here.
I am not going to go into much detail. The people related to what I am going to say, will know exactly what part they play in my next words. The past few days, more and more people have been leaving the role play. Among them people I adored to roleplay with. IN other cases it was people I was excited to start roleplaying with with my new character, Oz. In other cases, roleplayers with whose character I had built relationships, and character development have found themselves in the same place as I and have stopped feeling comfortable around here.
With that said. I have, indeed, been feeling like this roleplay is no longer what it used to be. I have been here from D Day. Since August 27 2013. This has been and forever will stay one of my favorite roleplays. It will also be the one that I will never forget, for both very good reasons, and very bad ones.
To all the people I have interacted with, either OOC, with Alaric, or Oz, that are still here or who have long moved on, it was a really great experience to me, and I grew from it. To all the people who had plots going on with my characters and theirs, or intended to come up with something between them -specially Nikki, since the ship between Alaric and Mackenzie was bringing so much potential to both characters' development- I am sorry that I am taking this decision and leaving you hanging. To all the new additions to the roleplay that I never got the chance to roleplay with, I am sorry I am not giving you the chance to be the person or people who will bring back my will to stay here, but I majorly doubt I would stay anyway.
I made very good friends in here. People who are amazing, truthful, kind, modest, always ready to place their friends before themselves. Some of those people have unfairly been prejudiced both directly and indirectly by people that were supposed to be friends, that were supposed to guide them in their times of need and, instead, were too blind to see that their actions would have consequence in not just that person, but every single other player, because this is a group. And in a roleplay group, if you push a person away, you are affecting everyone else who was connected to them if not through characters at least OOC-wise.
Yes, there was one person that caused this chain event. If you are wandering "was it me" then it probably wasn't, so do not worry about it much. If you, instead, read this and think "you're trashing me!" and feel like I am personally attacking you, then I have bad news for you, dude. I am. I won't say names,not just because I don't need to, but because I want to let people take their own conclusions.
It's a bittersweet farewell. But I am leaving. It's both sad, because of all the good people I will leave behind, but, at the same time liberating, because this is a place that has been changed- no. The right word is twisted. If you read this and think "I don't agree" Well, than I am glad that you're either too naive to see what's in front of your eyes, are on the other side of the line, or simply haven't been affected by the same affliction I am, because honestly? It sucks to feel like this. I am not saing I would rather not know what's really going on behind the curtain. All I am saying is I wish people would understand that this is a group of roleplay, and it is supposed to be fun, not a tool to be someone OOC that you are not in the real world because in the real world no one takes their shit.
so, this is the Goodbye for me. Take care."
