Sydney goodbye to acdum

Hey guys.

I’m sad to say the time has come for me to depart #acdum. I regret not being able to finish The Croatian Job properly, and I am sad I’ll never get to run Beneath the Mountain or the Alesso heist, but I can’t stay here with things how they currently are.

You’re right, Chief. The RP is going to die within the month. But it’s not the players’ lack of engagement that’s to blame. It’s because you’ve turned into a massive dick who’s actively driving players away. I don’t know when this change happened or why, and it’s a massive disappointment to me.

We’ve had some amazing roleplay in the months I’ve been here, and I do want to thank you for that. But with the change in Chief and Hox’s attitude, with you constantly attacking other players because you doubt their commitment to sparkle motion, roleplaying here is no longer fun for me.

I am sick and tired of being disrespected as a GM and being attacked because I have a real life, because I am legitimately suffering and had to go to the hospital for pain that had me unable to do anything but writhe and sob uncontrollably, and being guilted for my lack of participation because I cannot comfortably use a computer while I recover. You used to have empathy for real life problems when it was just me and Old Wolf. What the fuck happened?

I have been dreading logging in, and I realized that I have ways to spend my time that don’t actively stress me out.

Before you ask, this had nothing to do with Bodhi. I have been struggling with this lack of enjoyment here for a while now.

It was fun here for a long time, guys. And I do wish you the best in your future roleplay endeavors. But I also hope this serves as a wakeup call to not treat your future players like shit. You can’t shame someone into being more engaged in roleplay without creating resentment, and it’s finally reached a tipping point for me.

I’m going to miss what we used to have, but I’m not going to miss what we have currently.
