Orc is stepping down
« on: March 29, 2020, 08:58:54 PM »
Orc has chosen step down from his position as a GTM Admin.

We thank him for his contributions to both the RA2 community and GTM


To everyone else: I want you to take a good look around and ask yourself where this community is going. Because I can tell you it's not headed in a good direction

Figured I'd post this here along with a bit more I forgot to say in the OW server.

- Yes I've stepped down NOT because of the Rhys/PWS situation but that was the final nail in the coffin as it were. So please don't call it an overreaction to one thing when it was the sum of multiple issues/causes.
- Despite my short tenure, I'm glad to hear some people thought I did well in the position: I don't feel I accomplished much and a lot fell apart at the end but I did what I could. I've asked Geese that if GTM needs me as a tournament advisor or whatever then I am here to help in that regard. I just don't feel I should "lead" anymore.
- Do I agree that the community needs to be a bit nicer to itself and sorting out the issues? Indeed, I'm not sure if it will happen but we'll see. That's out of my hands. At the same time, I'm not saying this community is the worst either. You've all decent people but sometimes the jokes/whacking go too far.
- Do I ALSO feel that outside communities/people still have a bias against RA2 that won't go away even if THEY support absolute jerkoffs or aren't the best people themselves? Absolutely.

At the end of the day I feel I failed myself but I also feel that people on both sides failed me too. The last few weeks have been a massive drain on me mentally which is also a big reason I'm stepping down. I stand by my thought that I don't think there is a legitimate bad person in this community, we have edgy humour or sometimes jokes go too far or people get annoyed over the silliest things (yes me too, hello there) but I'm very thankful to call RA2/GTM etc a family.

If you need tournament advice or whatever, my DMs are always open (I'm always on Discord) but will check GTM when I can. :mrgreen:

Thanks for supporting me during my tenure as admin :heart_smiley: Viva la OW...or something.

Thought I'd visit here after a good while and see someone else stepping down.

"I want you to take a good look around and ask yourself where this community is going. Because I can tell you it's not headed in a good direction."

Explain to someone who only really visits once in a rare while. You guys have moved to Discord and stuff and outside of tournaments and showcases, don't see GTM active.

Hope the ship could right. Game has been out for almost 20 years and there's still a community.

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

I'm merely a relic from the past who comes back to haunt this place from time to time. It amazes and sickens me to know that I've been a part of this online community for 18 or so years.

I just sort of pay attention to what is going in the community but all I see is showcases. I very rarely visit and post now.

I'm pretty much active on Smashboards now community wise and a bit of wikia forums. Discord too. First by far.

I miss this place back almost 10 years ago.

Well, I appreciate the lost souls from times past who lurk around here still...even if you guys have no idea who any of the current people are or what is going on anymore xP
