tl;dr there's never been a convenient time for me to leave for over the past year because I keep making myself busy, I finally found a convenient place to tap out
I tried writing an explanation over a year ago, but I'm pretty bad at expressing myself. Essentially I joined to participate in tourneys, but stopped after losing a night's worth of sleep over beating myself up for smashing ghostmare into Higs twice in a row like an idiot. Basically I was getting to invested in tourneys
Anyways, I took break. Applied for WM, had work to do. Then I joined WC. Then I dropped out, joined Brawl
I'm unable to enjoy PvP here because longpolling makes me want to tear out my eyes in boredom (seriously, I want to keep oetg out of this, but when you get use to Bo3s being done in a couple minutes, PvP here becomes unplayable)
I had a good pair of WMs for #8. Unfortunately that trio isn't going to be around for #9. Since I don't feel like having to deal with google docs, I wanted to start on setting up a war.dek.im site which would have teams log into a vault manager. It'd handle deck checks, etc. From there I'd also work on getting a result submission, so standings could be automated. Basically I hate doing paperwork. My estimates made it necessary I start soon, especially since I'm currently a bit more free with lack of work, but within the next couple of weeks I'm hoping for a job to finally come in & then I'll be a bit occupied. Making war.dek.im is dependent on getting some space from anti (or some other trustworthy source who can provide hosting, but he's the best lead I have on how to get server space to toy with). I'd want to have a gist of what's going on in #9 for designing war.dek.im (I'd probably go with war.dek.im/9 so that #10 could use war.dek.im/10 etc). eg I wanted to get sideboards as a standard feature, which would be integrated with the tool if the other WMs agreed with sideboards being awesome
Unfortuantely it appears that I can't really run war autonomously, because council needs stuff to do & so it makes itself a bottleneck. I've got shit to do, so this gave me an opportunity to not reinvest myself somewhere in the forum & thus get tied down
I never posted in Introduction, I think it's kinda lame, so I mostly posted here to say "Heads up I'm not going to be staffing" since otherwise I don't have any ties to informing of my browsing habits & how I configure adblock to help me break out of habit
I'd quote "Hammering in my Head" but quoting music is lame & I'm way too good at being lazy to be overworked
There's probably some dumb seasonal depression factors since I've been going through annual cycles of melancholy in autumn, depression in winter, escapism in spring, & ambivalence in summer
I didn't really want to get into this stuff but apparently cute one liners are hard to interpret & make people think that there's either deep personal issues (ie yes, I disagree with how Spike operates at times, but no, he isn't that big a deal to me) or some issues that need fixing (mostly I want to free up time to bike more or something, I don't know, what can I say to make this seem like this is more a matter of documentation than dispute resolution?)
PS I hate walls of text, ugh
