What a ride its been... Since joining the admin team late september 2011 I've had such a great experience.. But all things come to an end.. and i have decided to resign as senior admin on zombies.. Lemme get some thing straight.. I was not asked to leave, not forced to leave, not demoted and no-one ever mentioned me leaving.. This is a decision i have made.. I made this decision because i don't have the detection a server like this needs.. I've been playing zombies since before DtK and my passion has died.. During the past two weeks i have realised how great life is outside of the screen.. I've been spending less time on cs:s and more time socialising and its been great..
Let me give you a little background information about my journey in DtK..
i joined the forums in late july 2011.. I was accepted into DtK as a neophyte.. I was a humble neophyte who started on the jb server.. Ever since day 1 i gunned for admin.. And it payed off.. I played JB for a good amount of time, i wanted to change the way we warden and our creativity.. Im sure many old JB JA's will remember my two famous words... "BE CREATIVE!" With my campaign for creativity i bought in the JB olympics.. Everybody loved it and thought.. This neophyte.. is definitely something.. So i kept playing jb and kept going.. I never reached my goal of JB JA.. This was mainly because of my age, i was rejected at multiple meetings because i was deemed 'to young' I am currently 14 and a half.. despite being rejected multiple times i kept playing JB and kept trying to change the server for the better... Until one day where council introduced the new rank Event Manager...
Ever since the thread was posted i was a favourite amongst members.. I, along side krez and ainslie where accepted into the Event manager rank.. We had a long, and extremely hard task ahead of us.. We had to set the path for EM's.. We had to prove this rank belonged in the community.. and by-god the rank is now well respected.. We started off with limited global admin (mutes only/chat commands) and were often mis-treated by fellow admins and deemed not an admin.. But we kept going.. and once we bought out events like FG vs DtK, the olympics etc we changed the minds of a lot of people..
As the months went past squall was talking to us about a new server that was going to be released.. This server was zombies.. When i heard this i jumped and put a lot of work, picking all the maps, testing the settings and putting in all feedback.. According to squall, i was on his SA radar since the testing sessions.. With my ambitious feet to help zombies i resigned as EM so i could put all my efforts into zombies. i never considered an SA role until a few people started supporting me.. Thats when i thought, maybe i could achieve this rank..
Thankfully i did, i shocked a lot of people.. I think that i proved to ALL of DtK that age is NOT a factor.. It is merely a number.. I have gone on to achieve more than heaps of members that are much older than me..
And now it comes to this.. my passion has left me and I'm stepping down for the good of the server and for the good of DtK.. I will still be SA till monday the 15th so don't hesitate to contact me for any SA related questions.
