My Resignation
Today i handed my 'notice' in to Spinner. This is due to rl pressures and workload, and the chance to get out there and have a 'proper' real life.
I've been with the game since i was 13, so such a change has been a long time in the making!
And so to the list of thanks, in no particular order:
- The Creators, without which none of this would have happened!
- The Southampton 'lot', including A2, who's been a listening ear, an advisor, and a damn good friend, Kloopy, who's also been a listener and a great friend, and snow, for being the most bizarre but inspiring person i've ever met!
- Zeus, for inspiring confidence, giving me advice, help, moral support and a point in the right direction right from the start. Thanks
- DJ_Bass and GoLdEnEyE, for starting this off for me in a major way by seeing past my age enough to trust me.
- MrBrick, for keeping me sane when all else looked glum!
- JammyJim, for never once making me a mod, for which, no doubt, i will be eternally grateful
- Ashknight, for being a guiding light into the world of PA, and a great person to talk to and have as a friend - thankyou!
- Mendosa, for being there and improving my assertiveness no end
- Noodles, for also being there, and being the one regular #planetarion op i've never had a complaint about. Made life easier, thanks
- Yam and Phil^ for being the most insanely active people on IRC i've ever encountered
- All the other #planetarion ops and official channels staff i've worked with over the years, for being generally helpful and friendly
- And anyone else i've missed, as i'm bound to have missed someone. If you've ever helped me while i've been in PAteam, you're appreciated, thanks =)
This is the end for my PAteam life, and for the most part of my PA life too. I will still be around, just not half as much as i used to be.
I intend to stay as a #planetarion op, to give people a prod in the right direction if they'll still trust my judgement, and to help the handover to whoever may succeed me be as channels manager.
As (most of) you know, i've been managing #Planetarion for almost 2 years. I know most of you on here dislike the channel, but it has always disappointed me to see the same old school of thought being shown over and over again - people who haven't been in the channel for 2 years saying "oh its ****". I've always been open to suggestions on how to improve the channel, and i've made many suggestions become a reality. I know the channel's not perfect, and i've never pretended it is. But all the time i've been in PAteam, i've been trying to make a difference - in both #planetarion and PAteam itself - and trying to make everything seem a bit more accessible to everyone. In some respects, it's worked, in some respects it hasn't, and other respects, things (usually attitudes) will never change, unfortunate as it is. But i don't wish to end this thread on a sour note - people have generally been great during my time around here, and i wish to thank the community for that.
And so i wish PAteam and the Creators the best for the future, and trundle merrily off.
Thanks for your time!

I'm not entirely sure that attributing your sanity to me is a good idea Mushroom.
Thanks for all you've done in PA Team, both in-game and with the IRC channels.
Good Luck with your education etc.

Well its sad to see you go.
You've been a good controlling force and active too and i dont think the place will be quite the same without you.
Good luck on that RL thing.
Perhaps one day i might try it .... but not today ;o)
And for the record you are considerably more sane that MrBrick could ever be.

Its a sad sad day to see you go mushy :/
I remember when you first came into IRC and i told someone youd make a pretty good op.
Then you kinda overtook everyone else and became 'leader' of irc :-)
Youll be sorely missed by all in the team.
Wont quite be the same without you

Thankyou Zeus, you've brought inspiration to myself and a whole host of other PA players and team. You gave me the opportunity to go this far despite my age, and that is something i won't forget in a hurry

I shall no longer be able to:
Harass you
bribe you
annoy you
insult you
shout at you
laugh with you

It's been a pleasure, i have seen many come and go, and frankly, Apart from Mr Zeus you have been one of the best to pass through the PA doors.
Good luck in Rl,

It is a sad loss to see you go Mushroom, ive sat around on IRC for far too long, and many a time ive seen you lurking around, gradually conqering the world...
No hang on, that was Ghengis Kahn...
Oh well, enough of my ramblings. Take care, try the real life thing, but believe me, its not worth it.
Women are expensive, Education sucks, Work makes you itch and feel like going home to bed at 2:30 in the afternoon, and if its to do with computers, you feel like throwing them out the window whenever you see one after a while.
Womble on home!

I don't usually comment on forums so be honoured Mushy ;-).
Will be sad to see you go but im sure you'll have a great rl.
At least u will still be an op though so we shall all still have to behave :-).
P.S You'll be back Mushroom ( They always come back! )
"Good Luck" From The Dark Strider

Well, I knew you'd been thinking about this for quite some time, but it still came as a bit of a shock for you to actually go. Ever since I can remember you have been one of the most respected members of PA Team (certainly in my opinion anyway) and you've always been professional in everything you did for PA.
You've done an awful lot for PA's IRC presence, saw us through the conversion to NetGamers and despite what some people could say, you have made a difference. Official channels are now properly organised with manly good people staffing them. Channel rules are clear and properly enforced and the teams behind the scenes get on well. #planetarion was and won't ever get a reputation which is perfect throughout the whole community, but for the people who frequent the channel I think I can safely say that it is a nice place to chat.
I seriously hope that you don't plan on removing yourself totally from the world of PA and more importantly, NetGamers IRC since you're a great friend and always able to offer sound advice when I've needed it. I know you have your reasons for leaving and it goes without saying that I wish you luck in your future at college and elsewhere. The potential is certainly there, go out and realise it!

Re: My Resignation
See ya Mushy, was always a pleasure talking with you, and also working with you (god that seems so long ago now!). I am glad for you that you were able to see a decision needed making, and that you were able to make the right one, too many people around here aren't able to do that. From what I know of you, whichever direction you choose in life you will probably encounter great success, and I hope you do.

Re: My Resignation
Nothing saddens me more than to see one of the (in my opinion) hardest working and most respected members of PATeam resign. You have done a great job over the past couple of years Mushroom, and I certainly won't be forgetting the fact that you were the first person ever to really give me a chance at proving my worth to PA on irc.planetarion.com/Netgamers IRC.
You will be greatly missed I am sure, and look forward to still working with you in #Planetarion
