Public Apology to all war participants. https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=25378.msg322918#msg322918
« on: April 29, 2011, 08:53:52 pm »
First and foremost I have to ask my Death Master Mr.Blonde for forgiveness and warmasters Kael Hate and ddevans for possibly delaying war or causing problems.
I bear the responsibility for leaving and should have double checked the info about war being canceled.

Here is what happened from my side.
I was sick, really sick in the flue with heavy fevers and migraines and puking. It did not even occur to me that it was april the first/fools day and due to my debilitated mental state due to sickness and from all the whining and community discussions prior to that april the first and taking into account that in the past if things are getting delayed or enough problems arise, Staff with SG in the lead take drastic measures, and make major changes to save events from disaster and not allow events to fall apart.
This is why I in my bad state believed that post.
Note: I only skimmed SGs post, my migraine prevented me from doing anything else and after that I was bedridden for 7 days and did not touch a computer at all. This is however not an excuse, one should always check back twice and make sure that what you have read and understood is correct. Due to my sickness i never did this, and that I was feed up with the previous discussions. Ive been told that some have argued on my behalf about my personal family tragedies of my grandmother passing away and my dog of 14 years etc in the month/weeks prior. This had nothing to do with it, I'm a grown and adult man and such is life.

I was simply very sick and in a bad position. With the wrong circumstances that caused a lack of judgement.

And for this Im am solely responsible. If able or possible I am willing to make amends and/or be booted from the next war.
And once again, I'm sorry MrBlonde, fellow Team Death members, War Staff and and all other participants for any organization problems, inconveniences and/or penalties I may have caused.

Takes lots of maturity to swallow your pride and admit when you made a mistake.  Hopefully what transpired serves as a learning experience not only for yourself, but for others who might find themselves in a similar situation.  In that way at least something positive can come out of everything.
Carpe Diem!!

Hey Rasta,

Glad to see you are back and healthy because that's all that really matters. It was tough losing you but as with everything the show must go on. No need to apologize and i'm just glad you are back and well.

Being sick or not doesn't really matter. Had I kept my responsibility I would have checked back in after those 7 days and would have been in the war.
It was lack of judgment on my part, simple. Circumstances caused the situation but in the end I should have checked back in.

Mrblonde Xn0ise
I'm not decided on what to do from here on out. Ive recently moved, got a new apartment and a new job. Considering putting all gaming on hold. It was pure chance that i checked back on elements this evening and found this mess out. Thank you for listening.

Good to have you back (or have you drop by?). And the way you came back (or dropped by?) shows lots of character. Only downside now is of course that now my April Fool's joke is less epic, but maybe next year I'll get someone to permanently quit and never come back. :)

Needless to say, no penalties or event bans will be issued because of this incident, if you decide to rejoin the community that is. If you don't rejoin, then penalties don't naturally mean anything. :)

Man, I know all about being bedridden and messing something up without meaning to.  Not too long ago I had a fever for about a week and missed a day of work because I wasn't around when the schedule was made up, and I just assumed we wouldn't have work on Mondays since we "never" do.  (Apparently we do.)

Sometimes it isn't a question of whether you checked back or not, though.  I mean, say you got stranded in the Amazon with only a flyswatter and a water bottle, and left your tennis partner in the lurch for a doubles match.  An extreme example, but where's the line when "should have checked back" becomes "couldn't follow through due to being incapacitated"?  Personally, I think any kind of bedridden belongs in the latter camp.  Still, mad props for taking responsibility, whether due or no.

No hard feelings at all, Rasta.  Actually, find a way to bring elements back into your life and I'll forgive you completely.

You'll be happy to know your replacement is soon to be 4-0. :)

I feel you man, I was hospitalized in the ER for a bit the other day with abdominal pain (cause is still unknown) and gastritis. Couldn't do much of anything those days.
