Hi there guys!

It's been a while since I've been able to get on the server or post on the forums, and unfortunately I don't think I will be able to spend the time needed to carry out my staff duties for the foreseeable future, due to my current work commitments. That's not to say that I won't be able to catch up with everyone when I have a day off now and then, so you'll still see me around for sure! But for now, I feel it's in the best interests of both myself and for Garnet, for me to step down from being part of the staff team on the DarkRP server.

I would like to offer my thanks to everyone in the current staff team for doing a fantastic job, it takes a lot of time and dedication keeping the server running smoothly! I would like to hope that I have made a valuable contribution during my short time in the team, and maybe in time to come, I'll be in a position where I can help once again.

If you're interested, I work as an electrician in the UK and have been working mostly in London for the past 4 years. In the last couple of months, I decided to move back to my hometown (on the South Coast) to be closer to my family and friends that I had lost touch with, and as a result, I have left the company I was working for in London and I now work on various sites on the South Coast. This has meant that I'm working a lot more hours and normally do 6 or 7 days a week. 
A fun fact... the reason I became an electrician is because of GMod! When I was growing up, I remember downloading the Wire Mod and I spent countless hours playing around with it. I learned an enormous amount about electronics, everything from logic gates, to circuits, to programming micro-controllers; and at some point I suddenly thought, if I can do this in a game then why don't I do it in real life!? Electronics became a hobby, I made all sorts of stuff and only continued learning more over the years. A decade later, here I am working as a qualified professional in the industry! I guess if you do what you love, it doesn't feel like work 

Anyways, I hope to see everyone around sometime soon!

It is crazy to think a game (or rather a mod, for a mod, for a old game ) can influence life so much! I wonder if the next generation of electricians will be pickaxe-wielding redstone engineers?
