It's funny a bit, to think about that there was once a button that I clicked, which asked "How long do you want to log in?", and I replied "Forever". Since then, I never logged out once. However, forever is not as long as one would expect it...
First time around, I was only lurking to check daily oracle counters, but as I slowly explored the place, I realized how lively the community is so I gave myself a try to
introduce myself. The place was still a paradise back then, even though willng3 and ScaredGirl already left.
Then willng later returned, but it's another storySince then, I had a relatively long journey here, collecting many memories. Near the end however, I knew that I'll soon have to leave...
Oh, and by the way, this is my 3000th post.
It's a mix of many things why I'm farewelling now. Probably only
Krzysiekxd knows how long I actually had in mind to leave, but something always made me to stay. Half a year ago, for example, I was
trusted for Council Position, which was enough reason for me to not leave any time sooner. Now that my term ended, I think it's time.
Something somewhere went wrong.
You want to be banned because you have no self control, you don't want people to comment and take part in an active discussion on your topic.. Are you sure a community forum is where you want to spend your time? Just saying, tumblr is right over that way.
He has a point.
And I had a few arguments too during last War. Learning from past wisdoms: if all other people are feeling good here and it's only me who thinks there are problems, then probably I'm the one who needs to leave. And even though I had problems, I can't deny the wisdom of the newbie:
I was there when another famous game, Kongai were ripped apart and burnt to ashes. Now it has barely 4 visitors per day, but the big difference is:
Kongai had only multiplayer function!
Until Elements will be one Kongregate and it will have AI 0-6, it will lure new players every time. Fact is, that the numbers will reach a minimum, but it will never reach zero! So until people from all around the world have desires to collect badges on Kong, some of them will be lucky enough to find Elements.
Because of the slowness of PvP and ragequits, I rarely go in PvP, so as long as I farm the AI from FGs to Arena, I have no problem with the game.
So this place will live, no matter what happens.
P.S:
I have to say this. I'm really glad that I could give back some of what the community gave me as I got your feedbacks from time to time. These elections, where you put me
3rd place community- and
1st place staff member mean a lot to me. If I didn't know anything, I would have had a sour taste while leaving, believing that I probably didn't do anything good (I'm a bit pessimistic lately about myself and the things i do).
Be good, and keep this place nice!
Some other last words. I am still signed up for hosting Mafia 52, which I'm planning to come back for. A lot of testing and experimenting is behind me, so I don't want it to go to waste. As I calculated, it will start around October (when september ends). Before Mafia 51 ends, please poke Kuro to contact me.
