It is 9am.
I haven't slept yet.
What was I doing?
Well I played like 20 minutes of Don't Starve and 10 minutes of Tribes Ascend this morning.
[size=medium][b]OH![/b][/size]
And I spent hours educating myself on Towny so I can bring your favourite Nations/Kingdoms concept to life.
I had to remove EssentialsChat so the proper Towny chat variables could be used, so you could all know who was in what Town and Nation and what their rank is. I've also had to contemplate the possibility of porting to a different Permissions plugin to better support all this. What's that you ask? It's the plugin that makes this server work. It prevents grief and anarchy while letting you spoilt brats bask in the glory of the many commands I've so carefully configured for you. Today, I count 635 lines in the permissions config, all carefully written/sorted by yours truly (not including the users). I've spent hundreds of hours (no joke) making them work with our 40+ plugins which all enjoy conflicting every now and then and require updates every month on average. A process which I put a lot of effort and care into.
I remained awake this morning, waiting for you guys to come online so I could really start to get Towny working, instead of leaving it half done while I slept for 8 hours. I was surprised, for the final time, when every one of you who were online, asked and demanded I remove it completely and bring back Factions and EssentialsChat. You hadn't even breathed what I had done and had still yet to do, but nevertheless, you wouldn't accept it.
Zahn asked me to install this plugin. He comes online, I drop my game of Don't Starve to help him start his SkyKingdom with Towny, and he has no idea how to use the plugin he recommended to me. That's all fine.. okay. But I insisted he learn it because he wouldn't be able to properly run his Kingdom with a plugin he doesn't understand. I also explain it's really quite simple. You just need to read a little. He merely says "ok?"
He returns about an hour later or so, just jumping online to spam his change of mind and how he no longer wants Towny. That's it.
Then he does it again. Online for merely seconds.. just to declare his rapid change of mind. He can't contact my on skype and explain his reasons, no that would be too hard.
I can't deal with you children anymore. I'm just fed up with the lot of you. I've held on for so long, expecting you to really be mature enough to help me run this server, but you're not. I won't be running another server till I've gathered some staff I can rely on.. where I'm not doing EVERYTHING myself. Yes, there are exceptions amoungst you.. and you'll know who you are as I keep in contact with you. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Yes I haven't slept for 20 hours, but my mind clear. This isn't merely a sudden decision. I've been contemplating for months, what it'll take for me to do this. And this is it.
It has been very difficult not to turn into a 24/7 bitter person because of most of you. Don't be surprised when I snap at you for what you consider "little things". I'm mostly a very kind and sharing person, yet you've made if very hard for me to prevent a cloud of hate and bitterness, consume my reputation. We've all got to make decisions and remove the unwanted filfth making us unhappy, this is one big step for me.
Enjoy life, and adios.
