TOPIC: Richard Appreciation Thread

He will be missed

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who supported me prior, during, and after getting Community Manager - All the way from when I returned back in early 2021, during my campaign, after getting CM and leading all the way to my current resignation.

I've met plenty of amazing people throughout this unique adventure on ZARP and quite frankly, I can't say I regret spending the last 18+ months working in the community close to said people. There have indeed been many ups and downs throughout my time here but ultimately I have nothing but good and positive opinions and impressions of my time here.

I'd like to extend a special thank you to the Community Team (Chute, EMP, Martin, Joshua, TheXnator) with who I've been working closely for the past year and a half and who were there to support me throughout my happenings in life, administration of the community, learning GLua (still shit at it), and enhancing my knowledge in Hammer and modeling/texturing. I truly appreciate them for giving me an opportunity to be a member of the team - This has indeed been a unique and fun experience that I will cherish and am likely never going to forget.

Furthermore, I would also like to thank many others like the current SO team, all the staff teams, and all my other good friends who I have met in the past years here on ZARP - Especially ones who I consider my closest friends like Martin, Alit George, Joshua, Faithful, Kyber, Agebt, Luigi, MsRevine, Bopper, Pie, Woggles, ArranAsh, Father Watson, Malek (and so many others -- Can't list everyone otherwise we'll be here all day). I've had an absolute blast and it's all of you guys to thank for such an endeavor.

In terms of my time here at ZARP, I feel like I've put in my absolute best effort into shaping it into a much better community for all, and with the current path that it's taking and the way the community as a whole is being handled and taken care of by my now former teammates, I'm sure it will thrive and prosper lust like in the good ol' days.

The main reasoning behind my resignation is the imminent start of my master's studies - And since I'd still like to continue working at my job, I will have little to no time for myself, let alone ZARP - Hence why I'm leaving. The next month and a half have available and I will attempt to use this time to travel somewhere and mentally prepare for all the ass-rape I'm yet to experience when I continue my studies.

As I've fulfilled all my promises and tasks as a member of the Community Team, and due to the aforementioned reasons, I'm not going to be around much anymore. I've never enjoyed ZARP much as a user and mainly found entertainment in staffing and administration, and there is nothing left for me to do here - Which brings me to the end of my time here.

Again, I'd like to thank everyone who I've met and have had an interaction with on ZARP for this wonderful experience and especially my inner circle of friends who I've made here (you all know who you are). I still hope to talk to you all someday.

Au Revoir!
