Hey all, Rein Dvorak here.
For the last year two playing this game has been a real anchor for me. I was and am going through some of the hardest stuff in my life, such as experiencing my relationship of almost a decade ending due to an arranged marriage which my significant other and I have little control over at this point, issues within my family, and just finally fully recovered from my brain surgery. Now with me beginning to go back to work and managing my own community (not SS13 related), I have little time for CM these days and it’s no longer the same for me.
I’ve noticed while playing that my stresses from real life have been following me into the game, I find myself crashing out over rather small things and my head is just not in it anymore, which it’s not fair to you guys who are just trying to have a good round. I also find myself completely zoning out, and I know I’m not pulling my weight which can hinder operations based on the role I play, which you deserve teammates who are present and ready to play, and right now, that’s just not me.
I think it’s time for me to take a break and focus on myself for a bit, not to mention I really don’t enjoy the route the game is heading personally which is also a factor in this.
Anyways, I do wish to give a few shoutouts to peeps. Apologies if I misspell your characters names or if I’ve forgotten anyone, I don’t have access to Discord to remember and I’ve deleted most of my SS13 footage to look through as I have no inspirations to try to make content for CM anymore.
Kilgore/Burnsides: You’re a straight up g. Whenever I got on and saw you playing, I knew it was going to be a fun round. I hope your oil company is going great and your soldiers are on route to conquering the free world.
Maddison Acosta: You were always funny and nice to me and I greatly appreciate it, whenever we both rolled SG I knew the hive was in for a treat. Though, seeing you make just cheese at times as MST kind of hurt the soul a wee bit, but at least you didn’t make hundreds to bring all around the Almayer..
Milo: Though we just became friends, I do remember us having some light banter when I got us both perma’d by trying to recover you with a light. Still apologize for that Keep up with your XO grind mate!
Steelpoint: Thanks for always being chill with me when noting me (which applies to Hippie too), and setting up the foundation that one would hope for removing OT one day.
Rose Teagarden: Thanks for always being kind and funny towards me. I will never forget being thrown out of the Normandy and then seeing Marines be completely puzzled seeing my telephone pack landing right next to them. Also major thanks for not capturing me during my surv rounds while I was just trying to survive to roleplay with Burnsides!
There’s other people who have definitely benefited my experiences on this server such as the one MST who I think no longer plays I think their name was Nassea or something, but they’d always call me their sous chef and I just was in it for the ride. They taught me a lot as MST and it became one of my favorite roles, along with this one guy who got me started in making specials, though I took it to the next level by making specials for the front, CIC/officers, CL, Security, and Medical, along with a self-serve special.
So with all that being said, I need to take some time to get my life sorted out. Thanks for everything, and hopefully, I’ll see you all again down the line when life is better for me.
I’ll probably be playing a round or two as SG before taking my proper cryosleep.
I had two good rounds as SG, and had a lot of fun. See ya everyone.
