It was me that witnessed this.
I could have tried to explain through chat, I no longer have access to RM. The computer I have access on had an "accident". I don't know how to remove/install to my current computer. I was hoping to keep this out of the forums and most admins don't even know about it. Usually, my presence alone is enough to keep most players in line. This would have been impossible through chat. That being said....
6 years from hell just came to a screeching halt.
2005 RIP Dad
2006 move in to take care of my mother, one of the more demanding women I have ever known
2007 RIP one of my oldest and closest friends
2008-2011 Cancer Diagnosis, treatment (which I refuse to work during), remission-ex has me locked up (except for Crappy Las Vegas). Rinse, repeat 2 more times.
2011 RIP Son, RIP Mom, RIP another old close friend, combat with brothers and Mom's brothers/sisters over everything, combat with mortgage companies over theft of Mom's refinance $$
2012 ex informs me she can't claim my son for the last time on her taxes as someone stole his identity.
Each one of these events was dealt with or nipped in the bud (very quickly and/or VERY aggressively), by me and me alone. It was a nonstop [poo] storm that no one else could handle, as they all so quickly proved. Now that the smoke has cleared, those who aggravated me can hardly look me in the eye. I still have two daughters to raise, but they are almost grown. I have kept and continue to keep my word on promises I made to those on their death bed (which has been more often and numerous than anyone should ever have to make).
(tip to younger guys on here) THIS is how a MAN handles things. "nough said.
Quite frankly, I'm spent. After 2 weeks of not admining and playing on all severs, I have been enjoying not having to deal with "Dad, take care of this one because I don't like him!" I'm not speaking of legitimate complaints, as yours is Pepsi. I do apologize for not explaining, such knowledge made public would have caused chaos on the server.
Admining has lost it's fun. I used to enjoy keeping order. Now it's just a chore. It's my time now. As selfish as that sounds, I think I deserve it. I have a yard to finish reclaiming, a house to gut and rebuild, hunting, fishing, etc. Things that I WANT to do rather than HAVE to. When I play my favorite video game of all time, I want to just play.
Guess I could have started a thread for this, sorry to hijack on you Pepsi.
i weep for the future
