I have played this game since 2017 or so. In that time, I have racked up an insane amount of hours. Mostly none of it on idle roles. I have gotten platinum medal multiple times on rifleman, medic and other roles. I have hit the highest ages on multiple xenos (since xeno aging was removed) multiple times.
Most of my time has been spent on support roles, mainly squad medic/corpsman, doctor and field doc.
I have never played any other spacestation game. I started on CM as a very bald doctor (before time requirements were in the game), completely lost and got in a lot of trouble as a bald player that didn’t know anything at all about Spacestation and also thought “that’s a lot of words” when I looked at the wiki to learn.
I quickly fell in love with the extreme depth of this game and have continuously ranted about how great of a game it is to my friends and family members (the gamers anyways). I’ve gotten multiple of them on here, friends and family. 'til today, my brother, my best friend and I get down on CM.
Even now, 8 years later, I learn things every day about this game. The constant evolution and the near-infinite amount of depth has kept me loving it for far longer than almost any other game I’ve ever played.
but today is another day. Today, I broke a major rule and have been permanently banned.
I’ve put in my ban appeal and it was immediately denied due to it not having been enough time since I’ve been banned. I was told it wont be until 2026 that I can even try to appeal the ban.
Nearly 10 years ago, this is something I could deal with and I would come back to the game.
But now, I am turning 34 this year. My life has become busy. I feel the very limited amount of time we have on this planet and I dont have the kind of time to not only wait a minimum of 6 months to play a game I love but also the amount of time I spend on the game alone. I really love it but at the same time it is a leech on my neck that is consuming the little bit of time I have alive.
Most of you dont know me because I’ve used random names throughout the years. Random Xeno names, random marine names. I would get into some argument with a marine and I just didn’t want to deal with it in the next round so I’d use random names. But most of you robust players, I have seen throughout the years and have learned so much from. I’ve seen lots of people come and go, and now it is my time to go.
Some of you know some of my characters names, some of you hate them. Riku Sakamoto. “Nobody”. “Spanky”. Just a few of the names I’ve used in recent years. But I don’t hate any of you. Thank you for all the kindness and the really really fun times. Thank you for the teaching and patience. And thank you for putting up with me when I’ve had bad days irl that transferred over to the game.
and that is all. God bless you all. I love this game and this community. Maybe I will return one day but it wont be for a long long time. *salute
