Well, goodbye o7
I did not know you, but, it seems to be a trend this.. View of the server. Which sucks.
And, it sucks you felt you had to leave, but, I 100% understand you doing it and I think it was the right decision to take.
If a community is draining you of anything closely resembling fun and many of it's members makes you this "upset", then yeah, look towards other chances for creativity to flow.

I am sure you were a cool person to get to know and RP with and I wish you all the luck in the future o7

After our conversation, I can understand your position. And even agree on some things. My advice remains the same as it was before: it's a game, and if you're not enjoying it, the best thing to do is to simply spend your time on other things.

That being said, I'm sorry the community didn't live up to your expectations. This place was better with you here. And I can only hope that one day you'll find this place worth returning to.

Until then, take care.

Thanks for the mention and kind words. Appreciated the RP and interactions we've had so far. Shame it's come to an end. Gotta do what you gotta do. Can't fault you for that whatsoever.

Hope wherever you get to next treats you better than what you experienced here. We all deserve to move onto something better.

I find it very fitting that the title of this thread summarizes the relationship between the playerbase and developers, especially when it comes to decisions regarding the handling of certain factions. Can understand the reasoning that this within itself causes a lot of frustration and friction. This is coming from someone who sees things from both sides.

"Nah, yeah that's how it is now" - Devs
"Yeah, nah I'll do my own thing" - Playerbase

There's a certain irony here.

The Discovery I remember best mercilessly teased these sorts of generalized Bad Feelings leaving threads.

Not saying you're wrong and people's lives are ultimately about themselves - do whatever's best for you. But I see an abundance of understanding and sympathy here that would've been drowned out by a certain kind of person not so long ago.

Acknowledged Freeport 7, we'll see you in about two weeks.

I never understand these leaving threads. Always seems like an excuse to cause a scene. And if they really still cared about the community, why are they leaving? - Agree with the looking inwards part, those that spout it should follow their own advice too.

When contending with a monster, you'd be wise to give the devil his due.

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.
