MayRndz 1128 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2021 “When the tides are low, and subtly churning, the winds swirl about in a zephyrus breeze, rest cannot find me. Within eternity of this natureous peace I am still breathless. Lurking in the shadows of my mind, It haunts me. Bury yourself in great accomplishments, no one can question your worth. That is what it tells me. . . Noone deserves to feel this way, yet everyone believes me when I say, at some point in life you understand. For everyone it's different, But let me share with you something to learn. don't let someone stand in your way. The way you choose to move forward, Is a decision that's yours to make Carry the words I share wisely, As you will hear it time and time again. As a wise king once said... Heavy is the head that wears the crown.” For those of you who don’t know who I am, I am May. I've been a member of LoTC moderation for the past year, and have been a member of management for 7 of those months. To be quite honest I have enjoyed every step along the way so being that I’m sitting here putting these words down on a document, it's so very weird to me. I came back to LoTC after a bit of a break last year with the intention just to roleplay as a player, little did I know a month later I would find an announcement that the moderation team was seeking members. That's where it began, my tenure in moderation with Basket as admin. My start was shaky, but you can’t always back down from a challenge, and thus I find plenty of motivation in myself to keep working at something I want. I’d like to think my entire tenure I’ve been a benefit to the team, I aim to seek out the weakest points and work on them that being said I reformatted the petty theft rules, and created a section on vandalism, I began to work through the seeking's on conflict, and even CRP. Writing these brought some fun, and as always it has its downfalls but it's something I wanted to do. From the beginning I always wanted to see a team that could prove the stereotypes wrong. To target weak rules, and make it so that on honest terms moderation doesn't have to step in all the time, to eliminate bias, and rid the reputation of staff from what previous groups may have done. I am proud to say that from my perspectives this past year we’ve been one of the best moderation team’s I’ve ever seen. Sure we had uprisings and downfalls just as any team should, but we also created a foundation of values, and ideals to keep things moving forward. Above all else, something that will stick with me forever is that I didn't just find projects pushed forward from this team either, no. I created long term friendships, and got to know communities I honestly never would have interacted with before. If you couldn't already tell by the way I’m speaking. This is my official resignation from LoTC staff as of my current standpoint. There is so much in my life that has changed over the past 2 years because of the pandemic that hit us, but as the year of 2022 approaches I’ve realized that my life has been able to open up to the public once again. Classes have taken over, I work a job on the weekends, and more than any of that I don't find myself having time for friends because of all the back and fourth of how busy I am. While I love the team with all of my heart, my education, work, and family comes first, and so unfortunately I have to step back. Above all of this its not just a resignation post though, I wanted to share a bit about myself and my tenure with the community, but also a little bit about health. I would like to see those within this community put themselves above the time they spend on video games, there are so many people I've had a chance to meet like myself that push just as hard and while it never goes unnoticed or unappreciated no-one will judge you for wanting to spend that time for yourself. I know these past few months have been hard on many people, people on and off the lotc community facing loss. I lost a friend dear to me because of a mental struggle they undefaced this year that being said I want those of this community to be aware that if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here, and I'm sure this goes for many other members of the community. Stand to support the changes you want to see. -=- To Moderation as a Whole Though I may be leaving the team know that I'll never quite be too far away, youre always welcome to Dm me or reach out if youre in need of help or advice, or just generally if you'd like to spend some time with me. You all have been a light in my life and a huge learning experience, I truly enjoyed getting a chance to meet all of you even if some of you have never seen the lion king because even while I'm gone I know you'll keep things as they are and do what you all feel is right. I'm sorry that I didn't stick around long enough to get to know some of you but I truly do think it right that you all became members of the team. Keep your heads held high.To the Administration These past few weeks you've all had a chance to grow on me a lot more than any time previously. Thank you for supporting our team and working alongside us to see changes through. Goodluck continuing forward as you work to preserve the community of LoTC. Devvy Spoiler Spoiler Thanks for all the great social energy you shared in VC’s, and though we never may have been extremely close I did enjoy what we worked on together throughout my tenure. I implore you to continue on as you are and enjoy life for what it is. Ender Spoiler Spoiler I enjoy all the laughs we’ve shared, and even the work we did from the perspective of both friends and partners. I have to acknowledge that you helped hold things together when it felt like it was falling apart. I know you'll do great things for the moderation team even when I’m gone. Thank you for being a major part of my time around LoTC and for becoming such a great friend. The best thing was getting to play It takes two with you and getting to know you outside of being partners in crime.<3 With love and appreciation you better keep talking to me or I'll harass your DM’s. Matta Spoiler Spoiler Can’t say I ever got to know you extremely well, but I still respect what I did know. You took on a lot and showed a lot of courage when you stepped up to work on those war rules, and honestly have to be one of the most motivational driven people I’ve ever gotten a chance to meet. Keep on moving as you are and fight for what you believe is true. Those who push for the greatest changes always see the biggest perspectives in life. We’ve had a lot of time to talk and laugh, and on the down low you’ve grown on me alot like an older brother. Disheartened Spoiler Spoiler The real bits of courage come from being a girl boss! Hold the team strong as you are. They would never survive without us girl bosses even if they don't admit it. I’m glad I had a chance to train you and its been awesome getting to know you as both a person and a member of the team. Tigergiri Spoiler Spoiler Also one of my favorite girl bosses <3. I'll miss spending time with you. Gotta say thanks for playing my daughter as well even if you came around during a time that I admittedly was no longer very active. You have so much energy and it's hard to understand how. Hogo Spoiler It's been a pleasure working alongside you both before you were a moderator and for all the time you have dedicated to our team. GMRO Spoiler Spoiler You are one of the longest standing mods from the group that came in alongside me we got to grow together, got to know eachother, and help create that foundation the current team stands on. Keep on standing strong and working hard as you are. Shmeepicus Spoiler Spoiler Hey fam <3 I knew from the moment your interview finished I wanted to see you on the team. You have proved to be everything above and beyond the expectations I've laid down for those that follow. Thank you for letting me train you and for living up to these expectations. Sacred Spoiler I have a feeling great things will come from you both now and in the future for as long as you're around. You light up the world around you and I think management can agree with me on this, but your personality when you join VC’s lights our faces up with smiles. You're a sweet person, and I hope you never lose that twinge of personality. Scourge Spoiler Spoiler Work on things as you feel right for you, I believe in you to do great things in life because something every great leader needs to acknowledge is that they'll have a lot more fun doing things they enjoy, and I think you helped me realize a lot of that. Muddy Spoiler Spoiler You've always been one to encourage things to move forward as they are. Though admittedly I have not had a chance to get to know you better, I wish I had. I appreciate everything youve done for the team and any work weve done alonside eachother. Thank you use this post as a chance to ask me any questions you may have about me and Ill take the time to answer 40 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polysemic 798 Share Posted October 5, 2021 It's a shame to see you take a step back from moderation. It's always been a joy talking to you in VC (including, dare I say, your sometimes sudden outbursts of singing), and I hope your future endeavours take you to where you want to be! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

_pr0fit 2944 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I know that the extent of our interactions was when I yelled at you and the other mod managers in the staff discord for being incredibly wrong about the bans and infractions given during that skirm that ended up traveling through the east hub, however you are probably the only mod manager in there at the time who was present, open minded, and cordial, and I respected that, staff management lost a rare good one today. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
