This. So much this.
So why I am opting to quit instead of seeking revenge against my killers?
Hate has never driven me to play this game. The only reason why I still play Earth is because of the friendships I formed in the New Monsters and the sense of obligation I have towards them. This game stopped being worth my time in... oh, probably about 2001 (I started playing in late 1999), or shortly after whenever it was that Deak showed us how to run all-x countries. The only reason I played when I could and still play now is because of the connection I have to the people I choose to associate with and willingly play with - the sole connection, for many of them. And if I quit playing, those people are no longer in my life. I play because I want the Cyref's and Getafix's of this game to be a part of my life. In fact, the only reason I came back to this server was because it was another opportunity to play with great people, some of whom I already know and love, and some of whom I've only been able to admire from afar, like Mac, galleri, and SW.
Maybe this will shed some light into why I had no clue where I was, as galleri so eloquently put it. I have no attachment to my country. Why would I ever try to get revenge for someone taking my country from me? The only thing I am disappointed in is that this server is not conducive to me and my friends playing the way we want to play. Even if some of them decide to stay here and start back up next set, I will not be joining them unless and until I am convinced that
flufftards - any
flufftards, not just the ones from this set - will not be able to dictate how our game must be played.
Am I upset with how things came to pass? Sure. Absolutely. But I'm not in a position to do much about it if I wanted to. And quite frankly, I've got better things to do than to sit here on this server and play somebody else's game.
I wish you all nothing but the best. I hope you all have fun here. This server doesn't seem like very much fun right now to me though.
