Theos - MRP Resignation

[Theos 423]

I committed to MRP in January last year, and except for my dirt digging for a month, have more or less spent the entire 16-17 months on MRP. From my early stages in MRP, being active when the server was at a low, I was fortunate enough to get a push from Officers and Staff back then to contribute more and more to the server. Back in the days when I was in Army, I felt an immense responsibility to the 11B who deserved an actual experience of the server, and tried to provide that to as many of them as much of that as possible. As time went on, I had my little dirt digging session, and when I came back was given the position of GA in Army when Army was struggling. During that time, I felt an immense responsibility to all of Army who deserved and needed change to improve the faction. In November, that responsibility had burnt me out, and I chose to hand Army over to someone with more motivation than me, as I felt there was no point leading the faction if I didn't have the motivation. 2 weeks later, the Manager resigned and myself and Salmon were effectively managers, and at the end of the month I was again fortunate enough to be officially made Manager. During that time, I felt an immense responsibility to the server, that was undergoing a definite transition, to try and provide a better experience for players.

As time has gone on, that feeling of responsibility has burnt me out once again. Something that I wished to announce on my own terms, that unfortunately I was not able to do, is that the feeling of responsibility to the server and the role of Manager has been harming my mental health in the past 2-3 weeks. Ideally, I would love to continue as MRP Manager and try my best to help the server, but I know that when you find yourself in a hole, you don't keep digging.

I'm resigning from MRP as Manager, and wish all those on the server who truly want it to do well are empowered to help as much as they can, but I will remain in the community so this isn't a full goodbye.

I can't tag everyone who has helped me because holy shit that's a lot of people, but I'll just tag a notable few

@LeKichi - ty for my sanity

@Rust - ty for backing me back when i was enlisted, and being short

@acer - go eat a burger with no honey mustard

@Fetn - You kept me sane when I was the only 11A, even if you're a cheater who wears skirts

@Fonza - Thank you for taking the chance on making me Head Admin, and your help back when you were GB COL

@Reeper - another person keeping me sane during 11A days

@Ozzy - you are sensible and mature, you have no idea how much that helps with MRP

@Proggy - i know everyone probably says this, but man you being chill and chatty with people really did help me feel part of a community early on

@Nutter - you're great so long as we don't let you draw in jackbox

and everyone else who helped me rise, or helped me lead, obviously your contributions are valued

Despite all the little ups and downs you were a great guy and were committed and even recognized my hardwork i appreciate that and i wish you the best of luck bro

Being a long term member of this community, I know the feeling of becoming burnt out way too well. Lots of people say you were a bad manager, simply isn't completely true, sure we all make mistakes and some are larger than others, but the amount of work and effort put in the time you were manager was pretty good compared to the past. I wish you and your future decisions the best.

Fetn, we all know you can't keep anything sane including yourself.

You know, you made a lot of decisions that many people(especially me) may not have agreed with, but it was made apparent at one point or another to me that you did have your interests in making the server a better place, if not a little bit more British. Even though we clashed, I hope the best for you in your future endeavors. glhf!

Hopefully another time LMFAO

You have my respect for giving me a chance within the MRP community (aswell as Jake) which is something past managers weren’t able to get around. You put up with a lot of shit as manager  which kinda reminded me of the old days. Despite what some may say being a manager isn’t easy you have to make some decisions not everyone is going to agree with. I hope your mental health improves soon after this resignation and I wish you the best of luck.

Until we meet again.

Messaged him about this 3-4 times over this past month. Theos got alot of flak from the playerbase and staff for some decision, but MilitaryRP is unfortunately the one server where no matter what you do you'll never see the positive, you'll strictly get bitched at for the negatives. Absolutely a helpful manager with no doubt positive intentions even if some things may have been interpreted differently.

where am I on here

Well this is the end no more sucking up to theos.

Thanks for putting me on here man. I always knew you had great potential back when I was, correct me if I'm wrong, CSM? Not quite sure where I was at when you joined, but I knew you would go amazing places ever since you hopped in TS and were mad chill. 11B DS SGT Theos was that guy, I knew he would do something, just like Bowl 22, just like Ozzy Blackwell. That period of Army really brought up some great prospects that helped the community in one way or another, and you were obviously the most successful of them all. Great job brit, I was glad to have you around
