I've put some thought into what I am about to say. Reply to it or not, I don't really care...
In the last few months, I've changed. Things I used to enjoy on Newgrounds, I have lost interest in. Namely voting on new submissions.
I served through the period of time where the Barney Bunch were the notorious buggers of the portal. And I had fun.
Now though, I don't have any urge to go to the portal to do more than deposit my experience points.
I've also noticed a change in my duty as an officer of the EG Barracks. Chances are many of you didn't even know I was EG Barracks NGPD Liason.
Having been away over the summer, I lost my connection with the NGPD. Most people there don't know who I am. Nor do they care. Any post I've made in recent times has never been quoted. I don't even know if any of them bothered reading what I wrote.
When I left over the summer, I asked SlashFirestorm if he wouldn't mind taking over looking after the NGPD in my absence (it fit because he holds the position of Recruitment Officer).
He's done a good job there. More importantly, he holds the respect of the NGPD members.
I no longer have influence there. Slash does.
Because of this, and other influences, I am resigning my position of EG Barracks NGPD Liason officer, for the reason that I no longer see it (the position) as relevant (everything I do is already covered by SlashFirestorm's position), and also because I no longer consider myself effective in that role. This resignation is effective as of the end of this post.
Another thing I've felt I've fallen apart from is the Barracks itself. The thread being centered on Blam/Protect rankings, I don't feel I fit in any more.
Thus effective immediately, I am removing myself from active status in the Elite Guard Barracks. The reason being, as I said before, I no longer find voting on Under Judgment entries the least bit amusing/fun/whatever. Proof of this is the fact that, although I am less than 200 B/P points away from ranking up, I just don't care any more.
My time and attention is now the Newgrounds BBS, because that is where I believe I can make the best impact.
I may vote on one or two entries from time to time, but may never be as active as I once was.
I may also pop in to say hi here once in a while, if theres something interesting. I'll still lurk, but unless I see something (as I mentioned) interesting, or directly related to me, my posting here will be sparse.
So thank you to those I've known and come to know. The times I've had were memorable, the friends better than many I have had. It's been a good run here, and it was a hard decision to make, but I think the right one.
Anyone ever wishing to talk to me, you'll find me either private message, AIM (in profile), or E-Mail/MSN.
EG Sergeant First Class Peregrinus, signing out.
what's bad is I actually had to open my profile to see what B/P rank I was...
*Final Salute*
