I've played actively on this server since I was 18. I went through a lot -- friendships that sank or swam, the turbulence of out-of-character and in-character political dramas blurring together, and at one point, fighting through 2 and half years of gender dysphoria. I want to be an artist. I want to be a story teller. at 26, I want to chase those things. 

 

here's what I learned, in no particular order:

• you can learn a lot of social skills from lotc, including the power of empathy. don't dismiss that that opportunity.
• the world is only what the world is made of. people will just be people, don't hold them up on a pedestal.
• you can have some really special moments and opportunities on this server-- anything from leading a nation, to having a deep talk in your living room, can lead to some real magic between people.
• there will never be a titan as big as Oren. I'm very grateful to have experienced so much of it.
• when your imagination is too big for the boundaries of the server, it's time to go. don't put all your time and energy into something that won't love you back.
• don't feel shame when your feelings are hurt over lotc politics. the people who hurt you are real, the game is not.
• while it's great lotc has moved away from the bad behaviors it once harboured, be wary of cancel culture overtaking you. if your first reaction is outrage, you're not using your critical thinking skills.
• the mod admin is the last good admin left.
• don't trust the Vale. the ones who smile the warmest are the ones to steal the most from you.
• Llir is the reason rukio has never been banned for this kind of behavior: 
• Spoiler

  

   

 

 

bye everyone. it's time to go.

Godspeed, friend. You will be missed. LOTC is a hell of a hole to fall down so I'm super happy you're able to get out of it. Wishing you all the best.

 

The only encounters I remember having with you were those where you were super sweet. I really enjoyed being around you, chief.

Goodbye, soldier. You take care! I hope that you get those things you're going to chase

[HobbitForHire 215]

Been great having you around, hope you find something better to do with all your free time you have now!

[Deer__ 1558]

Only heard good about you. Bye bye and good luck, frank

Have a good one out there, we never really talked but it's good to see someone wanted to call rukio out on her bullshit

oh

[Naufragium 614]

In the small interactions I had with you as a mod, I was very appreciative of the kind attitude you seemed to take towards my efforts with the modreq. Things like that make an impact on people, and respect for that sort of genuineness is something that will follow you wherever you end up next. Sad to see one of the better mods go, but glad as always to see someone be freed from this hellhole. Supertramp goated, good luck out there. 

[esotericas 2674]

going to miss you chief, on to bigger and better things o7

Damn... Wisdom and facts.

 

Can't say Rukio is innocent but a old ass screenshot isn't the issue and public that is not going to fix anything. If you wanted to prove something about em, you could have tried something else or kept it on a report imo. However, i do agree with most of the other stuff in the post.

 

P.S. Whether Rukio did or do, it doesn't justify people coming after them OOC

although our RP interactions were few, I enjoyed the few we did have. they hold weight many RP encounters dont seem to have anymore
