well, i never expected i'd end up leaving like this although i was actually planning on stepping down in the not too distant future because i feel like no matter how much i try to help people in the lobby, i'm still vilified by many people that i put effort into helping.

whilst it's somewhat of a burden lifted from my shoulders, i would have much rather the lobby been given to someone more deserving like Golbolco, and not someone who has flagrantly abused powers in the past and still finds it appropriate to make sexually harassing comments about users in the lobby.

either way, i'm sure you're all thrilled that i'm not the owner anymore no matter how much work i put in over the course of my seven month tenure and even though you may not agree with some of the decisions i made as owner, i ask that you don't hold them against me personally as i was just doing what i believed to be in the best interests of the lobby at the time.

i'll still be around on em as a site moderator so if there's ever anything i can do for the lobby don't hesitate to ask, i'm right here.

if you have any questions you'd like to ask me, now's the time when i'm going to be most honest.

Bebop, I respect you for doing what you believed was right. I know you had everyone in Sandbox in mind whenever you made a decision. I will always think of you as a good owner. Now your watch has ended, you space cowboy you.

your constructive criticism would seem a lot more genuine if you hadn't picked "fúck off bebop" in the poll

You misinterpreted my message. I was identifying what I believe to be the mistakes you made and how you could improve on them in the future. Do not take what I say personally, for that would be irrational. Understand that I fight for my values to be expressed, NOT to cause suffering against those who oppose them (e.g. you). As a result, I do not hate you or any other person in the slightest. Take this as a learning experience. In order to become a strong leader, you do not discriminate based on personal relationships but rather characterize on the individual's skills and potential.

If there's one thing I hate, it would be monarchy. The idea that a single man would continue to rule with no foreshadow of an immediate successor violates the principle of the spice composing such an online community. Under your rule, Freedom of Association prevented any differential change; hesitation allowed users such as error and fnoof to reside with power against the wishes of the majority and without compromise to resolve the issue. Our voices need to be heard, and that includes yours.

Remaining as Sandbox Owner is not how you make a difference in Sandbox. In fact, it is the exact opposite of your intention. Because if you believe that the only way you could make a difference is by being Sandbox Owner, then how do you expect any of us to make a difference. You were obliged to make that possible.

This was your tragic flaw, and error was your foil.

my successor was going to be golbolco. also, error and fnoof are literally the same person, i kept him as a mod because he did (emphasis on the past tense) a good job. and i made a difference as the sandbox owner by trying to help out the little people as much as possible and provide entertainment for the lobby (the countless threads i had going, a new poll every single day etc). but sure i know you hate me even though you're one of the people i was very kind to.
