I honestly can't emphasise with words alone just how difficult of a decision this was for me, but it's one that I've contemplated the pros / cons and consequences of for a while now and have finally built to courage to make.
I'm sure that the immediate question on everyone's minds is my reason behind this, so I'll get straight to it. I know just how cliché this is gonna sound at first, but I can genuinely no longer neglect and overlook the general lack of passion and devotion that is the underlying problem of our clan, both towards VC:MP and sometimes even VU itself. I came to realise this pretty much since the moment I shifted my activity from solely VCCnR to the wider DM community during my Trainee days, but have always tried my best to look past and work around it in anyway I could. I've been very honest and sincere throughout my entire time here, and I'll continue to be so now as I say that [REDACTED] has disappointed me beyond belief and really was the final straw. I'm aware that there are some details about this [REDACTED] that the majority of you guys haven't been informed about yet, but let me just say that other than the lack of seriousness towards the [REDACTED] itself, I fully believe the entire problem as a whole could have been completely avoided if we had shown more care and coordination to begin with. I understand that our clan comprises of some members who have really lost their interest towards the game they used to love for completely justified reasons, but I for one still love this trash game and still want to be surrounded by likeminded peers as we waste countless time having fun on it. I hope that if there's anything that you guys can appreciate from what I've just said, it's this last part.
I acknowledge that all of the above seems highly pessimistic, but please believe me when I say just how much I want to be proven wrong. I want nothing more than to [metaphorically] leave this clan today and completely regret my decision tomorrow as VU wrecks havoc and completely dominates this community as it has been for years. My love for our clan and all of you guys, and yes, I mean specifically YOU reading this, will never ever die out and I promise that we will always be friends. Now of course, things won't be exactly the same as they have been, but I'm still gonna be there during as many of the chat, ingame party, Amongie, Skribbl.io, Gartic Phone and Minecraft sessions as I can possibly attend, and we're still gonna make unforgettable memories that we'll cherish forever. I'm not gonna write a short segment about every individual in this clan who is my mentor and / or closest friend, as in my eyes that would be a false admittance of the end of such friendships that I can't even fathom the thought of for one moment. Every single one of you here will always continue to be my family, whether you like it or not haha. However, what I must say is thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for literally everything. The Vice Underdogs have made me the proud person I am today and I will forever be grateful for all the clan has done for me these past couple of years, both in our community and in real life. Likewise, I hope that my contributions towards VU will go a long way into boosting this legendary clan for years to come...
I love all of you. Viva la VU! ❤️
I think that covers just about everything I wanted to say. I've posted this on our Trainee / Rookie board instead of our Farewell board for all of you to view and respond to, (before it goes public,) either here or privately in Discord DMs. When we feel that everything is concluded, could someone from the Development Circle please transfer this topic to the Farewell board as per procedure. If there are any details in the first paragraph that need to be redacted, please be sure to edit them out too.
Note: All of the sections above that have been edited out and replaced with the "[REDACTED]" text, and following posts that have been removed have been done so to secure the privacy of the clan and have been approved by the user.
