Yeah nah, nah yeah.

I was hoping I'd not have to write this, but sadly I guess I've been left with little choice otherwise.

Effective immediate I am withdrawing membership from all factions save TFP (more out of loyalty than anything) and dissolving Ouroboros. As far as I am concerned, Hanamura and her friends went on a tear through Kusari to get her sister back, unraveled their mysteries and fucked off to Gran Canaria to start a small colony or some shit. Why? Because fuck this place, I got mine, and all it took was realizing that I don't need this fucking place to do it.

Between the toxicity of this community, the failure to balance this game worth a shit, and the slow death that has started since mid last year, I've decided that that Discovery was as much of a fucking mistake as I was. And for once, I won't fucking blame Exodite for it, but instead many of the people who are members of, and leaders in this community.

To my friends - Gabi, Viss, Caedus, Cherry, Weapon, FoeHammer, Explorer, Frostpfote, SeaFalcon, Geoffacake, Kusari, Locksmith, Sagume, Amba, Awoo, Ven and certain Pink Fox. Thank you. You made me come this far. I'm sorry it's come to this disappointing end, but frankly I can't see myself giving a damn anymore. I'm sorry that so much has been left undone, so much left unsaid. I wish I could help you to where you wanted to go, but the harsh reality is, that what has soured this place will one day come for you too. If you want to know who to blame, I'll tell you if you don't know already. I'll do my best to stay in touch but for the most of you, the ties that bind when not watered often tend to go brittle. And when they do go brittle I will leave you only with wishes for a brighter future for you.

For everyone else - a message:

A lot of you should look inwardly at who you are as people and what the constant ooRP fighting and backstabbing has made you and this place become. Some of you who are leaders of the biggest factions or even members of the development and administration teams have no place being in the positions you are - being either insufferably virulent and hostile to anyone that even remotely irritates you or questions your vision, acting like a fucking gremlin -- or lethargic and not knowing when to let the sleeping dog fucking die, nor were some of you deserving of the pedestals I put you on - people I saw as friends, even elder figures I respected and trusted.

I wanted to do and create beautiful stories here with others, and finish things that I left unfinished when I left six years ago. But between story devs shafting factions I have had roleplay with or actively been involved in and a toxic community that is teetering ever so slowly towards collapse, I have had enough.

There's nothing sacred here. It's all rotten to the fucking core, and I see that now. What I once saw as an outlet for creativity and to help tell a story I thought was compelling, while making friends, memories and what not, has all been corrupted by the cruel truth to it all.

Goodbye.

You're a great person, Nodoka, and, for what it's worth, you and your roleplay is was (and remains) an overwhelming fixture in my experience of Discovery. You've added much during your time here.

It's a shame we haven't had a chance to interact since my return.

Good luck - enjoy your break.
