799. Reply to a thread after being inactive for more than two years.

But first, let me apologize for posting this in the Introductions section, as it is quite the opposite. But this is a good section as any.

____________________________________________________________

Hello there, good people of the Opticraft community.

It is I, Wone (or most commonly known as w0n3). I've been away for so very long: mostly from being busy, and from losing interest in Minecraft in general as time went by (I'll address this point later on in this post). I tried to return to the game, to the community again eight ( months ago, and it did not go so well. And as I am going to be more busy than I ever was before (moving to Australia to pursue my degree), I don't think it'll be any easier to return.

Therefore, I am making this post as a proper farewell to those who mined and built alongside me and those who know me. I figured that if I am to go away, I'll notify people of interest instead of just fading away. Assuming that things didn't change much since 8 months ago, I'd like to have my Moderator rank removed from both the SMP server and the forums. There are people far more qualified and dedicated as I am to that cause; might as well hand them the torch. Besides, should I decide to return in the future, I'd like to relearn the ropes of Minecraft and the server itself from the beginning. To rediscover the things that got me playing. As for the fortunes that I have mustered under my account, just leave them be until I can decide what to do with them.

To the people who I played with: It has been a great run playing and getting to know each and every one of you. You guys are great lot of fun to play with. I'm a man of few words, so my thoughts are limited to the amount of beautiful sentences I can construct when it comes to socializing. But do know that I mean what I say (read: type)
To those that I might have offended before: I thoroughly apologize. Do realize I am but a stranger on the internet, but I still seek forgiveness to those who I owe apologies to.

And there you have it. This is Wone, signing off.

TL; DR version: I won't be returning soon. Demote my ranks, but leave my stuff alone. I'll be back when I feel like I can and want to.

It's November 5! It's Bonfire Night! It's also the birthday to a decorated moderator of the SMP server (I'm not sure about the Creative server as I haven't been there for like, forever), daniblue182 aka Danielle!

Happy birthday, milady. Have a good one.

Nein.

I predict the next person to be a decorated Trusted of the SMP server.

Excuse the horrid camera quality. I really didn't feel like struggling with my DSLR and I don't have a phone.
And yes, my chair is extremely comfy.

Right on, Mo

Matt's staff?
Birthday?
What?

Happy birthday, Matt. Enjoy your youth, while it lasts.

I only bought Counter-Strike: Global Offensive :/

Kind of a breakthrough for me, as I pirate most of my games.

I might have not interacted much with Chief149 in-game, but he was (or is) a member of Opticraft, which is in my opinion a tight online community; and that saddens me.
Deepest condolences to his family and relatives.
