Follows suit of admins leaving. I've decide to step down as admin for the pokemonserver. Not a joke, no tricks up the sleeve, just leaving. You may be asking why, or may tell me not to, but I'll happily address all points.
Why?:
I've been admin for about a year and a half or something, probably longer. In the beginning I loved the server. I put all my energy into the server and I love to see it grow. After Johto, I started to lose my love for the server. I had one goal when I had made this server: to make an awesome community. And we had that. Then we got shitty people who made stupid drama. I hate stupid drama. People complain about getting killed and loosing 4 diamonds, or this person harassing them. Rather than deal it themselves, they complain. Of course if you are being tortured then you should ask for help but if someone is simple saying you're stupid, calling you an idiot, ect., most likely you're also being an as sole and contributing to the stupidty of why I hate the current community.
I also feel I'm inactive due to this reason. Some people may say I should just stay admin and attend admin meetings and so on, but I feel that's being hypocritical. I have personally voted to get rid of people in positions of power because they are not dedicated enough. I am doing the same to myself. I vote myself out. I do not deserve the position and more. Past deeds should not suffice for current power.
"Please don't leave! I'll miss you!": fat chance you'll miss me. Admins come and go, people come and go. In a few months, me leaving will not cause you sadness. Why? Because most people here did not create the kind of community I wanted. There are a select few who I have known for years that would be heartbroken if I left them because THEY created a community. Most of you people here polluted it. I try to be nice to everyone and make connections but most people here are blinded by "I want to be admin/mod/gym leader/mcmmo stats" that you ignore the connections we output. Don't think you're not one of these people. When you're not having fun for one second yet yore staying on the server, you're one of them.
"Look, the server is dieing!": Hahahaha no. Like I said, currently I did nothing for the server. This could had been said a long time ago for me but now. Me leaving will literally change nothing. So why should I leave? Because I can't stand to prevent people like me keep their positions in power. Hopefully this acts like a wakeup call. Maybe people will be active. Maybe people will clean up the community. But in any case, me leaving now doesn't matter. I didn't contribute anything. It's like losing your baby teeth. They once did a lot for you, but once there are better things to replace it, it's best to allow them to fall away.
"We hate you! Good riddance!": well, that worked out conviently I suppose.
"八丨宀七丿飛乂𦘒肀": okay.... Yeah.... *smiles and nods*
Sorry for grammar mistakes, I typed this on my phone.

Well, goodbye Paradox. It was an honor knowing you.

Well, goodbye Paradox. It was an honor knowing you.
I honestly appreciate the respect and I feel humble to say I don't deserve such graditude. I reciprocate the feelings. You'll see me on TS though, no worries man. We can still fuck shit up together :P

Hey, once I get updated to Mountain Lion, we'll play a couple rounds of LoL (after somone teaches me how)

I'm not master but I can try to teach you. Or maybe we can train on the pokemonserver lol. Anything really.
-
You never got to teach me java........
I will miss you Para, you've been here since the start. :eyes:
-
Farewell Paradox. It's sad to see you leave, but I suppose it's for the good of the server.
-
Ah. You had the feeling of uselessness I did whenever I quit.
Well, good luck in your ventures.
You have my number if you need to talk.
Argle blarg.
Bye Paracocks.

Paradox, you know, I have to admit, you are probably my favorite person of authority I've ever met. You are cool, smart, hilarious, etc. The list goes on and on. :D
Now, I agree with everything you have to say. This server has had those problems, and you know, I have to say I might be apart of that problem. I've seriously become some people's number one enemy. I'm ashamed of myself...
However, your legacy will never die Paradox. You have created something special. You made not only a server, but a community. You've made some of the finest nostalgic work I ever seen from someone. I grown ever so slightly because of my time here. And you know, it's all thanks to you. You created what I will remember for the rest of my life: the good times on the server.
I've made friends; new friends; people I enjoy, hang out with, and adore even.
I could never thank you in full for everything you have done.
With that,
Sayonara, Paradox. May we meet again in another lifetime.
-
What have I done...
Paradox
This is my fault.
Alright. This is my fault.
Ok, did I mean what I said? Yes. Did I mean for it to go that far? No.
I just can't accept myself...
if I did all of this.
Wow, I don't belong here any longer.
This was never my intention.
I'm sorry.
But, never forgive me...

I'll teach you java whenever you want me, just ask :P
Farewell Paradox. It's sad to see you leave, but I suppose it's for the good of the server.
Agreed.
Ah. You had the feeling of uselessness I did whenever I quit.
Well, good luck in your ventures.

Argle blarg.
Bye Paracocks.
goodbye Ribeye. How can I forget the guy who gets friendzoned by the chick who thinks he is his soulmate? And knows my darkest secret :P
[Referencing first mario quote]
Like I said before, I don't deserve so much credit. Everyone built the community, not just me. Everyone destroyed the community, including me. But it warms my heart for you to say that so Thank you :D
[Reference second mario quote]
I'm confused. If this is a reference to your admin request and me saying "Okay, I quit admin", it was a joke. A troll joke, yeah. Look at the time stamps, I resigned before I made that post. I just wanted to make one final troll thing :P You're not the reason, my reasons are stated in the OP. :D
-
Yeah.
That was fucked up.
-
Para , the day I met you on the server was the day that I decided to stick with the server. You were fun loving, cool and never seemed to digress. If in anyway I resulted in you leaving I'm truly sorry in every was imaginable. But anyway I hope we meet again, Para, my pseudo master! (cheers to you if you remember that time ;))
-
Sigh, I've deleted my post because of that. Oh well, I'm not fit for admin again...
-
I'll teach you java whenever you want me, just ask :P
That sounds like one of those depressing end of movie lines :cry:
I made you a skin Para. It's not the best, I kinda screwed it up. I tried to make it Arceus /admin like, like the one I made for 1ce ( which when i showed him he struck me with lightning) but it looks like you have a full body striper suit on......
-
Para, I'll miss you.
We just started to become better friends lately, and also you were a great admin, creating massive plugins, and contributing the community so much. I'll try my best to keep to that high standard.
You can teach me League of Legends (The Admin traditions x3)
But bye Paradox, you will be leaving a large mark on this server, this server shall get better.

I just remembered, I also wrote that song for you. A parody of paradise. :cry: :cry: :cry:
EDIT: if its not too hard can you drop in and visit every now and then Para :)
-
Well Paradox thanks for you kindness and dedication to this server and help other people and for a reason for this i think you the only admin that make the server fun. See you soon if i don't make sense in this comment then I am typing while half asleep. Farewell Old Admin
-
bye para
-
I first joined the server remembering Zombie 1ce N and Para as the admins.
1ce is the last one it seems.
Well Para as I do agree that the community has gone to shit, have fun taking a break for a while, or forever. It was fun getting to see you work out some problems here and there and try to make everyone's experience enjoyable. Alas, it seems you couldn't completely fulfill that dream. Maybe some day we will. Farewell.
-
Good bye Para. You will be missed. :( You were a good admin. Hope to see you return one day :)
-
Cya para, you were a cool admin and will be missed.

Exactly what I feel.
I wont go on forever but I will say this - Most of the fun I had from this server was because of you and others. Just like when the others left, this has upset me too. Its your choice so I will respect it.
-Farewell Paradox
-
Paradox I'll miss you... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
-
I will miss you para .
I wish you the best man .
-
Nooooooo :cry:
please, tell me this isnt really happening... :'(
I'll miss you, Lord Paradox1123. Farewell.
-
Bye Para. Sorry I wasnt there for the last few months to see you off but maybe our paths will cross again someday. This is not a formal request but I would like to apply for admin in: 20 months. That is all :D
-
Love how War is still "Banned"
-
Well. I have to say I have noticed Para's lack of activity, but despite this you were quite possibly my favorite admin. You always seemed like a really nice person, and although I don't think I ever actually talked to you, you will be missed.
-
Goodbye Para I shall miss you on the server =P (even though you say we won't) And will you be on ts still or are you moving on to "bigger and better things?"
-
Bye para... T.T

WHAT THE FUCK Paradox don't leave your OWN server(The fucking server you made, created, stared) IF YOU DARE LEAVE THE SERVER THE SERVER WILL DIE OUT GODDAMNIT I'm not kidding I've been on this server for 5 months I only met you twice.
Get that in your head.
-
For the record, the server will die when I say it does, or when some hacker drains our paypal. Not when a quitter says it does. Anyone who thinks otherwise can try to stop me from keeping it alive.
you can find the original post in Server News, under the troll topic 1ce is leaving.
but yea.

First time I posted in a long time but this is noteworthy. It was glad to see you Paradox. It's just that Pokemon was a game for children, so the community now is made up of children. After today's AP Comp Sci class learning about Incursion and Recursion. I Finally get your signature. Took me that long.
