I Did It My Way?

[Vaginal Hubris 2,659]

So I have been doing some thinking and I think it is time for me to leave Lotus. It has come to my attention that there are certain staff, members, and recruits who don't want me here and would prefer if I leave. Not that these people should dictate my staying or going, but I am tired of trying to win at an impossible game. Haters going to hate, I guess? I don't know. I wish I could get along with everyone and I have tried, but you cannot always get along with everyone. The best you can hope for is to play nice, but it doesn't work if the other party doesn't want to.

To be honest, I have never felt more disconnected here than I do now. The clan has changed--both for the better and for the worse. Of course, most people will have no idea what I am talking about (just wait until the curtain is pulled back and you can see the Great and Powerful Oz), but I suppose that there are some who do know what I am talking about. I have been around long enough to see good people come and go and changes occur, but I just don't feel that this is a welcoming place for me anymore. There is a lot of politics, but much of it occurs behind the scenes, so just be aware of that.

I expect this thread to be hidden or edited somehow (as these threads usually do), but hopefully this message gets through to some.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me here...and put up with my bullshit. I have always tried my best to make people feel welcome here and to make this a better community (even when I was grumpy about stuff), but I am not sure if I succeeded in this.

I really am glad to be leaving on my own terms this time and that wouldn't be possible without all of you who helped make that possible. I suppose you could say that I did it my way--for better or for worse. Like most of my posts, I assume this will be tl;dr for many of you. I will just leave you with this then...

Goodbye.

We will have a chat later on steam, but obviously it goes without saying, I am deeply saddened by this, you will be greatly missed by the huge majority, Sad to see so many of our best people packing it in

[Kerberos 3,170]

It's pretty pathetic how other members/recruits/staff are so able to drive away other members of the clan; This shizzle should go in the controversy thread FTW!!!

But seriously; You have no reason to leave. If these people who are driving you away, however they are doing it, have nothing better to do with their life than make you feel like crap, then you should be laughing.

Getcho ass back hea lil lady.

[-Tristan- 948]

Sorry to see you check out Hubris.

At any rate, let's try to limit giving people reasons to leave in the future. We all enjoy playing a video game where we shoot at cartoon characters with ridiculous weapons.

[Ruby 9,039]

I am sorry for anything I might have said or done. Things between us were a bit tense lately, however I believed it would get resolved soon. I hope to see you around still. And.... good luck. And may the odds be ever in your favour.

I have no fucking clue who told you what the fuck soever, but it seems that this person succeeded in their goal to make you leave.

Good job, whoever did it. Hope you're proud now.

I don't even know what to say, I had no grudge against you, and always saw you as friend, sad to see you go, I hope you are still able to see this post.

[LjubicaZubica 5,610]

:s

What Obvi said.

So far what I saw is that players really like you. Those few shouldn´t make you leave :/

Good bye, it was a pleasure medicing you for the 20 minutes or so on Pl_Badwater yesterday. I thought I was cross-continent bonding when I ventured onto the US Lotus servers :'(

Anyway all the best from your British accented Medic

[Orbit - dBs 179]

Sorry to see you go..

I haven't got to know you that we'll except for that one 2Fort server that I was on with you and other members.

hmmm... somehow i don't think Hubris received information in the vein of malice... rather enlightenment

Yes. "Enlightment". And whoever starts a "xxx said this and that about you" without thinking what will happen next, is an idiot.

Just my 2 Cents.

Why?

[+Dr. Obvious 14,606]

Why?

In other words, it was you? *tss*

That aside, because there's never full context. All in all, it's a "i want you to know this, because i want you to react like that".

[EggShell 1,102]

Hmmm. Respectfully disagree.

And why don't you go ask Hubris if it was me? We can ask her right here
