So yeah. I’m leaving. Again.
I initially came back because I missed the idea of RPing. The becoming of a different person in a different world, far from responsibilities of an ordinary life. Secondly I came back for the friends I had made over the years. Mainly Dylan, Mason, and Morgan, because I had been close friends with them before I left, and wanted to get back in touch with them. I missed the community aspect of the site I had left almost two years ago. But yeah, I was a little disappointed to be honest.
Don't get me wrong! I love all of you, and I think you all are amazing people. But it seems to me that CHB has become... well high school, and that's not what I "signed up for" (obligatory clique). Everything is a popularity contest it seems. Like for instance something that always bothered me was the thing where when someone left they left a thing all about what they thought of everyone. This is what makes me think I joined a Mean Girls site rather than a PJO site.
There is sometimes on the chatbox, where some of the older members provoke new or younger members into erupting. Now I'm not saying that this is always the case. Most times an eruption happens on the chatbox it's due to something other than provocation by older members. I'm guilty of this. One of my first days back, in the chat, some of the older members were ganging up on a new member for their choice of username. I responded with something along the lines of "Was dumb*ss taken?" insulting another member. To this the other members of the chat said "omg" and "ily trev" and reading this made me feel happy and accepted. Looking back on it, I feel extremely guilty.
I want to make this clear. The staff of CHB is superb. Morgan, I love the direction your taking the site. Fishy, I've known you for a long time and I'm absolutely sure you will make a fantastic admin. Chris, I don't know you very well but I'm sure you'll be amazing. As for the mods and approvers. You all do an amazing job.
I'm not going to do one of those list on how I feel about you. If you really want to know, you should talk to me. Those of you I've met this time around, I'm really glad I met you guys. Honestly I've enjoyed every RP I've done this summer. And just hanging out with you guys, talking on the chat, has been a great time.
As for those of you who want to keep in contact with me, I have skype, phone, instagram All the things. So just shoot me a pm. I want to keep in contact with you guys.
So my plan so far, is this. I'm gonna stay for a little while. Maybe like another week? Two? I'm gonna put my characters up for adoption. I really don't want them to just disappear, plus they both have plots and i love them dearly. So I want to try to find someone to take them, who will rp them correctly. If I can't find someone to take them, I'll spend the next two weeks closing up their plots so that their links don't have plot hole.
As for drachmas....
I don't have as many as I used to but I think I'm gonna give what I do have away. I haven't decided who, or how much yet. Hell I might just spend it all on mystery boxes and then give those away. Who knows
So yeah, I think that's it!
I'm sure I'll pop in every once in a while. I can't seem to truly stay away from this site. But the visits will be few and far between. As some of you may know, I take my final year of EMT training this coming year. It's gonna be a lot of work so I won't have time for online activities. But yeah. Thanks for everything guys. It's been a blast. I'm sure this won't be the last you hear of me!
Later!
