    Some could describe my time here at SeriousTTT as short, with their upward of years of commitment being a member of the community whereas I've only been here for a year and a couple of months. In this time I'd like to believe I've accomplished something, changed someone or impacted a group of people improving their time spent here playing on our servers or posting on our forums. I'd like to believe I made a difference.

    When I was a Moderator, staffing was a blast, hell, it was competitive. "Who could get the most hours?" or "Who could train the most trials?". It filled this never ending hole inside of me. Who needed friends when you had a server of 36 players, right? I did a pretty good job, I started to notice it myself. When the thought of becoming an admin sparked, I had my goals set. I befriended other mods and admins then slowly gained recognition. As an Admin, I clocked in hundreds of hours biweekly, most of the time more than the mods and I slowly but surely saw my academic and social life deteriorate. There was an evident problem: I was extremely unhappy and I was good at hiding it. But, the thoughts of sorrow were immediately shrouded by the possibility of a promotion to Lead Admin. This was selfish of me, accepting a high ranking position knowing my current dilemma. After months of putting it off, I've finally said to myself enough is enough. I was what we describe a handful of applicants, emotionally unstable.

    It's the end of the road for me and letting go is the first step towards my ambitions.

    I'm thankful for everything this community has done for me and I'd hope what I've done for you could be something that has made you happy.

    If there's two people I could to tag who have made the biggest impact on me, it'd be @Darktooth. You're an amazing person and anyone who has crossed paths with you knows it. Wherever you are, you lighten up the mood and make someone smile and for that I am grateful to have met you. And @Slicck, the brightest Canadian guy I know.

    @Highwon, don't try to work too hard.
    @Admins, I don't think you'll ever get a 5th slot.
    @Mods, thank you for your exceptional service.
    @Community, I can say it's been a joy meeting every single one of you. Troll or not, you've all impacted me. Even Toon Link.

    edit: back again, hopefully for longer.
    edit 2: came back, but everything went wrong

    You were a massive influence on me, to tell the truth. You indirectly forced me to strive and become better, and for that, I thank you. Thank you for your service, take care. Love ya bud.

    You were my moderator buddy, my administrator, and my friend. Do what you have to do, but never forget SeriousTTT is always there if you need help with anything. I don't care if it's simple math, or rocket science, this server has your back.

    Well this came as a surprise.

    You believed in me, you taught me, you lectured me, and you let me come back. Can't ask for much more than that. Hope you find whatever it is you are searching for, you deserve it.

    Rest in Peace.

    O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
    The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
    The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
    While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
    But O heart! heart! heart!
    O the bleeding drops of red,
    Where on the deck my Captain lies,
    Fallen cold and dead.

    You were the best Staff member we've ever had, but to be the best requires sacrifice... and I always wondered how you managed to do it. Thank you Sinz for not only being an amazing Lead Admin, but also what I've come to consider a great friend.

    My admin, and then my admin again. You are what made the biggest impact on me in this career; I looked up to you in a way, though you're younger. You have great leadership skills and a way with words that no other has. I'd like to consider you a close friend (though I may get annoying by always asking "What's happening?" <3). I truly wish you the best and I hope you do something great with your skills. You have left some huge shoes to fill.

    It was an honor serving as your moderator, and then your administrator. Take care, and visit often.

    Bon voyage.
