Don't worry! You'll always be CM in our hearts. Just like @Forest.

I can't believe how difficult this is for me. I've written and rewritten this message at least ten times now, and I still don't like the way it's coming out. But fuck it, it needs to be said. My time here at XenoGamers has been amazing. I've made some very strong friendships, made some very fond memories, and helped build this clan into something astounding. If anything, pride is the strongest feeling I have for where xG is at today. I'm proud of our little community. I'm proud of the people who are leading it in the direction it is going. And I am proud of the growth we have made here in our tiny little corner of the internet. With all of that being said, it is time for me to hang up my coat. Ladies and gentleman, I am hereby announcing that, as of now, I am stepping down from the role of Clan Manager here in xG. No tricks. No memes. 100% pure honesty. Some may be wondering why. And to that, I can only say that I have accomplished everything I set out to do, specifically with the Team Fortress 2 division. There was once a time where my assistance was in dire need, and I provided it to my fullest abilities. There were many problems that needed solving, and someone such as myself was required to find the solutions. The time for my assistance has long since passed, so now it's time to turn in the badge. In all honesty, the higher ups are super crowded right now. With the return of @Aegean, our higher ups are in excellent hands, and I honestly feel like the responsibilities of our CMs is spread waaay too thin among us all. So it's with no remorse that I depart from this point, because deep down I know that after I leave, we will continue to operate under some great leadership. And to be quite frank, since we have gotten to where we are at, the desire to play Team Fortress 2 has dwindled heavily. In the day, I find myself wanting to play less and less. It's almost at the point where I am considering selling off my entire inventory, and when someone with a near $5k backpack is considering cashing out, that's a pretty strong indicator that the desire is depleted. Not only this, but with other distractions in life, such as new games to play, responsibilities to oversee, and people to connect with, Team Fortress 2 simply is not a priority at this time. I love you guys. I love this clan. And I honestly feel that it deserves much more than what I am giving it at this time. I have no desire to pursue the game any further. And as much as it hurts me to step down, I feel like it is something I have to do. Please don't think this is me abandoning the clan. I'll still be around. I'll check in occasionally, perhaps hop on a server every now and then, and I'll still be here. I just won't be the guy people turn to to ask questions or ask for help. Thanks for the memories xG. See you, space cowboy. =)

Jailbreak Added map jb_moonjail_v2 Updated Lego jail to jb_lego_jail_v8_fixed Thanks, @Rabid!

Honestly don't be a stranger, voice your opinion or just hang out whenever you'd like. I wasn't here for majority of the your time in xG, but I know the TF2 division and Xeno Gamers in general owe you a lot. Have fun with any new games you try out, and hopefully we'll see you around (:

Well, that's a shame I suppose. At least you're not actually leaving (implying anyone truly leaves xG). You'll still be able to give us your great wisdom when we're puzzled over something. If you ever have the desire to play TF2 again, we'll be here.

Shit man. I am honestly speechless.

+1Hes a pretty good guy A:8 M:8 P.S heres a picture for you,I tried really hard on it

I actually agree with this post. I really do. Before anyone gets up in arms about my stance on it, I honestly feel like this is a responsibility that definitely doesn't need to be stretched across more than 3 or 4 people at max. And I think that it's part of the reason I don't see much motivation in myself to actually get out and do more than I already do. And @DrPepperPhreak raised a good point about my activity and how I am not very active on the forums. I won't lie, I haven't been. I haven't been active in a LOT of the different roles around xG, because I feel satisfied in where we have come to. I feel like I have done quite a lot of work and have put xG in a place where they no longer need me. I don't want it to sound patronizing or sound like I'm claiming sole credit for our clan or anything like that, but I have weathered quite a few storms since I became staff here in xG. Through tough times and happier times, I've made a lot of memories here. But that being said, I simply don't have the drive to keep it going. As I said in my last lengthy post, I don't want it to sound like I'm making excuses either. I'm just going to face facts: I find the desire to even play TF2 anymore dwindling more and more each and every day. The more I analyze it and the more I dissect the issue at hand, I keep ending on the same point: Perhaps it is time for me to hang up my coat and retire from my position. Not because I disagree with how anything is being managed, not because I dislike anyone or have any ill feelings, but more because I feel that all of the things I wanted to accomplish for this clan have been accomplished. When @Aegean came back, I knew things would be in excellent hands, so I have no remorse for leaving. We're honestly overcrowded in the higher ups, and I know deep down I don't do much anymore. I won't kid myself and be blunt. So maybe it is for the best if I called it a night. I love this clan and I love its members. That's mostly what is driving me to this conclusion. It isn't fair of me to hold this position if I am not going to be as active as I used to be, and between two kids, a steady career, and all of the other interests I have going on in my life, there simply just isn't much time for the clan. It isn't anything personal, it's just the truth.

When you decide to stop leaving the server with a large bounty it might be worth posting about :^)

no.

R.I.P. Pokemon Go 2016-2016

R.I.P.

I would like to thank you for totally giving others the opportunity of getting the bounty and not only your friends. Also thank you for not slaying yourself every round when someone you didn't know/like was trying to kill you for rebelling....oh wait....uh...awkward...

Yeah, I know that feeling. Hope to see you around sometime :greyalien:

:( much respect, sometimes life takes over but you really have been the most level headed and kind CL/CM whatever ive seen, thanks for your efforts

Well this was definitely not something I was expecting to happen so soon. I don't blame you for losing interest in Tf2 either, the game has been getting worse and worse with every update, I do actually believe this last Halloween update might've been one of the nails in the coffin. You were a great community leader, xG probably wouldn't be what it is if it weren't for you. I really hope that I'll see you around, friend.

Aah, I figured this was coming around the time I saw your posts in the thread Vexx made, so I'll say now that you were certainly a very helpful and enjoyable person to be around during the time you did spend as CM, and the positions before that. Of course, you'll probably still be that way even after, but it's understandable that you would do this seeing as how you do have quite the full plate with being a father and so on too. Regardless of what you go and do now, hopefully you enjoy yourself with it as there's no point in trying to force yourself to play a game you're losing the desire to play. Will certainly miss some of the silly antics like the crazy maps we'd go to or things like the Scootahive and so forth, but what matters most is that you're happy with your decisions and what you've managed to do up to this point. See you around boyo, will look forward to when you come around here and there.

Welcome back to the darkside. You, @Moosty and I can officially be shitlords like the old days again.

Well that's sad, you were always one of the nicest most understanding person in this place, we all have shit we need to do. Also i don't blame you quitting tf2, you could probably quick sell your backpack for 4 grand, however i know you're better than that. We should play overwatch sometime and get angry at how fucking bull shit the game can be.

@Goblins @mrnutty12

I would, but I'm broke af. Feelsbadman But hey, we can meme in Civ 5. kek

+1 I want you A:8 M:8.5

Yeah and it's something I would want (and would love to have) every member to have: the ability to edit or delete their own comments instead of quoting it and saying nvm or something like that.

Good job, gonna tag some people for the lolz: @BlankuChan @virr @Egossi @Goblins @mrnutty12 @Scootaloo @kbraszzz @Aegean @Rhododendron OP is unbanned. - Closed

How are these outdated?

CM's should literally be active in discussions with the community as a number 1. This means being on servers, forums and teamspeak occasionally and actually managing the community lol. Make threads, share ideas, ask for ideas etc. It's always better to have more than 1 person to start these kinds of discussions every once in a while so we don't remain stale.

We're down to the point where if we change any of our servers it'll make a lot of people angry. Even if a server is dead most of the time doesn't mean it's not ever played, I still see people hop on Deathrun and Jailbreak occasionally. Also, I'd like a reason for xG to stand out from other servers, and a 24/7 hightower would not really be "standing out" since there's already hundreds of 24/7 hightowers.

Hey uh, I've decided that I want to step down from moderator. I have been incredibly inactive on TF2 and the reasons for that is that I just don't find it as enjoyable anymore. I've played the game for about 7k hours now and I have just been playing other games lately such as Overwatch. I may come on the servers from time to time, just not as often. I just don't think that I need to be staff anymore since I've basically stopped playing TF2 and I'm not really contributing to the servers. Thank you @Bello @Egossi @Tatost @Parasect @Floppy @Healix for the fun times! :]

So R.I.P Wubwub Wednesday and event server?

I've made the decision, and I hope everyone respects it. I thank you all for the opportunity you have given me to lead this clan, but for the time being, I feel it's best if I call it quits. I won't be gone. I'll still be around. Perhaps one day I may return, if and when xG needs it. <3 The Hardest Goodbye

Yea but that was back when bounties were with the in game money. Have there been any bigger credit bounties than the one i have?

+1 Even though i got no power pretty cool dude. rolling in the credits, I know by the 6k bounty he put on me
