Hello community; it's probably been at least somewhat obvious by now for those still waiting on me to Do Things, but I can't force myself to do activity in my current personal state. Without pointing any fingers, the prospect of me contributing further activity has just felt in my mind to be a chore at best, and something actively detrimental to my mental health at worst.
To that end, @Civil Servant is now 1ic of The Platform. I may be back later this year should I feel up to it, or maybe to pop in and observe changes should 5.1 come out by then, but I would rather not keep this faction completely paralyzed from my inability to actually lead it by example.
Bundschuh Green 11, you are cleared for launch. Good luck out there.
I do understand, or at least I think so. In my limited experience, if you aren't very careful with how you approach Disco, it can be so easy to end up in a situation where you get less enjoyment back from it than effort you put in. It has to be approached on your terms, and the extrinsic pressures of having a faction to manage or run with in this game look like quite the challenge to that for me, especially if you care quite personally about it (the Bundschuh are a distant love of mine, so I get it.) Some people thrive there, but I know I wouldn't.
Maybe I'm on the mark, maybe I'm talking out of my butt, I don't know. I just regret I was never at my best when I had opportunities to roleplay with you. I was always either dead tired or really distracted when the Klug emerged, and I thought he presented interesting opportunities to chat that I routinely missed or flubbed.
Your well being, though, takes precedence no matter what, and if it's time to redirect away from something that's become a drain, so it goes.
Take care of yourself, bud. You know that we're here for you and we wish you the best. We'll do our best to take care of the Platform while you're away, however long that takes.
