I'm sorry. I don't think I can continue to run all of these games. And I don't think I can continue to run Vitcon either. Or rather I don't feel I deserve the power to run Vitcon if I can't contribute to it. I feel like I've been just...prolonging the inevitable, really. It feels like my time has come and gone with this site. I don't know if it's something with me or with something else, but something feels like it's not the same. It might even be that Awkward's just not around anymore. But I just don't feel excited about running Vitcon anymore. I still remember a lot of the good times that I had with you all on Vitcon and those are irreplaceable memories. But it's begun to feel like an obligation, which is wrong. Since day one I've always told everyone if it feels like an obligation, you aren't having fun. If you aren't having fun, you should stop. So I guess I need to finally follow my own advice for once. You deserve better than my lackluster attempts and uninterested writing. I've always treated this as my training grounds. It's...essentially the first step I ever took toward following my dream. And it's thanks to you all I can see it through. But I can't stick around like this anymore. I need to move on to creating something more than just text based games. I feel like I can't progress further until I do. You all deserve someone that cares as much and is as devoted as I once was. But that's not me anymore. That's why I leave appointing a new leader in your hands. Malefio has access to everything as the Game Master now. He can choose to keep his power or give it to someone else. He has that ability now. I trust he'll use it wisely. I know he will. I'm going to create a Discord Channel so we can all still talk together. I don't want to lose contact with you all just because I can't keep up with the Social Thread anymore as the admin. discord.gg/aNG8TjPYou've been my closest friends for the past few years and my life is forever changed thanks to you all. I'll never forget those treasured memories I have of everyone here. Climbing hundred floored towers, going on crazy adventures, laughing together in the social thread, and even the first time one of my games was completed through to the end. They're all indispensable. So rather than saying I'm sorry, I guess I should be saying... Thank you. |

Why do you make it sound like you're leaving entirely...?

Oh! Are you planning to continue in Oz/NTBDRWBYRP/Orichalcus?
And, like, WD and whatnot.
'cause Crow's sad to hear LoH, Spellcast, and TDS are ending. And Soul Tower, considering the cliffhanger. But Crow's going to be very sad if Kitty's going away completely.

It's very, very important to me that we receive clarity. Are you bailing on us, aside from visits from time to time? Because that sounds like what you're doing, neph.

Just so you know, there's probably not gonna be any commentary from me on this until Saturday. I am not kidding when I say I have no willpower this week.
I don't know how to react to this at the very moment.
Just posting so you guys know I am not ignoring this.

Thanks, Just. You've given me hours upon hours of free entertainment and wonderful excuses to make the highest quality characters.

I'm not leaving entirely. I'm just not really going to be around as much anymore. I'm not going to spend hours of every single day working on things here. And I don't believe I should be in charge if I'm not as devoted to this as I once was.
I think I'm gonna drop everything that I run, but I won't drop out of the games I play. It...kinda sucks knowing they won't be completed for sure, but I guess that's not really what matters as much as the fun we had playing them together.
I think this means the same for things I do on the Verse too. I won't be able to continue on making my stuff there. I'll participate in CYOAs, but that's probably about it.
If anyone wants to take up any of my old projects and continue leading it on, I don't mind. I just don't think I can continue doing this when I want to devote my time to other things. It's wrong to me and to you.

You keep giving answers that are just a little too vague to be useful, so I'll be direct. Oricalchus and NTBDRWBYRP die without you, so whatever, I don't really need an answer anytime soon. But I do need to know if you're continuing with Oz and the mailbag. |

And I'd kinda want to take up some of your stuff, but... I'm the only voter in LoH and Vitmons, don't know enough about Spellcast's base game, Mal took up Vitquest, and I feel like my characters are too involved with most everything else considering I'd just have to write them out. I guess I've got an easy enough out for Soul Tower but I don't think anyone's jumping up and down for that to continue considering it barely stated. And I'd love to take up the ghost mansion, but I don't think there'd be enough participation. I don't know enough about Song Summoners too write it, and... TDS... I'd just feel weird taking over.
I guess it'd be easy enough to make Barfy and Oiya into NPCs, I could probably do Dungeon Quest... But I don't think I really want to.
...
If I did, against my better judgement, take up one or two, would you rejoin as a player, Kitty?

It's a shame to see you're dropping out of being the admin, although at the same time wanting to move on to bigger things is a great reason and definitely a better option than driving yourself nuts continuing to make yourself do something you don't enjoy as much as you used to. You and Punk are both responsible for getting me into this hobby in the first place with Gates and Lost Kingdom, and without the two of you I don't think I would have met anyone on this site. In other words, I guess I should say thanks as well.

Alright. I think I'm in the mood to respond right now.
First of all, I want to thank you for everything. Everything started with me finding the RP board on gamefaqs. Playing a CYOA. Then I decided to try my own RP. The original Paper Smash. On gamefaqs. You guys were the ones who joined it. Then Bloodmancer showed up with Pikmin Wars, which led many of us to his own board. And then Vitcon happened. Now, for you guys it all started with Lost Kingdom. I came out of nowhere. I was a nobody for all of you. Yet, you supported many of my games, even if I never finished any of them. That never prevented any of you of supporting what I do on Vitcon. Hell, I even became the second admin of this site. Me. The guy who came out of nowhere. I cannot stress out how much this meant and still means to me. I want to thank Just and all of you for all the joy, creativity and support you offered to me and still offer. Vitcon is part of my life and I mean it.
Now... About you not deserving to be admin Just... That is not true. Yes, this is a board for forum games. If you don't want to run forum games anymore, that is indeed true. Vitcon is still your creation though. I will gladly accept to take the mantle, but know that it's very possible for an admin to just be here so the essence of his creation doesn't get thrown away. You don't have to run games to be the admin of Vitcon. This is not your workplace. This is not your job. This is your home. Think about it longly before "selling" it to me.
Now... I might have a bit of a lack of motivation because of the start of winter, but I promise to all of you that I won't let Vitcon die. I will do everything in my power for us to continue playing as much games together as possible. Now though, you all know that I barely go on Vitcon on weekends anymore. And that my real life friends are my priority. This is still true and it still is. But I have free days. Days for which I could update Vitcon, but I just slack off. I'll try to stop that. I don't want this to become a job, but if Vitcon becomes my responsibility, I will take it seriously.
This Tuesday. I will get both Vitquest Islands and Explorer's Dreams back on track. I will update EXPLOSIONS!!!. I've been holding it off f9r too long now. Monster Hunter: Caravan sign-ups will go up.
Now. For new games. I'll do that too. EXPLOSIONS ADVENTURE is still a thing I want to happen. I've put some work on Ominous Shadow. It was a collaboration. I'm bringing it back.
Now, I'm pretty iffy about making games I cannot update on my phone, but if the demand is there, I'm open to take the mantle of Dungeon Quest. I'm also open to Song Summoners and Dating Sim, but those will have to be reboots.

I don't think I'll be continuing with Oz. I can probably write mailbags without an issue as it's mostly just question answer and I know most of the answers by heart anyway.
Crow, you could make your characters NPCs. I wouldn't mind taking over for my old characters as players characters or even joining as a player. I can participate in games, I just can't run them anymore.
Mal, thanks. It means a lot to me that you're willing to put in the effort to work on Vitcon. If you ever have questions about how to use certain aspects of the admin control center, just let me know and I can help out.

I'd be a lot more interested in taking something up knowing you'd probably join it.
I guess this seems like the right place for this. If I did take up something, what would people want me to do?

You were a great admin, Just, I Hope that what you plan to do with your future turns out well, and I know what you're feeling. Recently I left a forum I had been running for over 2 years because of many of the same reasons you have now, and it was really hard, but I was able to power through it and now Im doing a bit better. I don't really know how to end this post, so, umm... May the force be with you?
