Shark,Roni,Eros
« on: December 02, 2014, 12:02:42 am »
Hello Ambrosians,

This is my leaving topic and I would like to give you my version of accounts as I am sure there will be
plenty floating around.

There have been some issues among Emperors for sometime now. The starting point in my opinion is when I promoted Card
Clasher to a Community leader. All Emperors were against this decision and I was accused of taking decisions in to my own hands.
The truth of the matter is that I was asked to perform this task by Casper. He asked me to promote him and assured me that
they were good friends and he had trust in him. Being that Casper is the main Owner I did as I was asked.

Then came the issues with surf server.
I take full responsibility for these issues as I made mistakes that would have been avoidable if I had listened to the community. I offer all members my apologies and hope that you understand that I did the things I did with the best intentions.

The next issue was Roni's promotion.
I suggested this and everyone agreed to his promotion though they thought it best to wait.
I however didn't and proceeded with the promotion faster than they desired. My reasoning for this was that I believed
and still do believe that Roni deserved it after all his efforts for the community, I honestly didn't see the point in waiting.

And lastly, Tai's situation.
When Tai was promoted to Universe creator he knew the role came with responsibilities and most of all - trust.
But he broke the rules, and an important one at that. He leaked information from the private boards where high staff discuss
important topics and member promotions. Tai informed a particular member that he was being discussed and by doing so he lost
some of our trust.
(This is nothing personal to you Tai, I am just mentioning it because one of the issues between the Emperors is this.)
Clearly this is an unacceptable act, and how else to handle the situation when you can no longer trust them with their position of power? I'm fairly sure most would give a demotion.

Yet again I am blamed for taking action without consulting the other emperors and it is at this point that Rawrplus decided he'd had enough of me and went with Raven to Casper and gave him an ultimatum, either I have to leave or they will.
That in my opinion is blackmail. They went behind my back to get me thrown out as casper admit it himself. I can think of some far better ways of dealing with situation like this but that's what they wanted to do regardless of all the advice they give to members about handling issues and conflicts.

I did however apologise to them for any behaviour they didn't deem appropriate for the community and agreed to cooperate to find a solution. There were also some things I want to get off of my chest in order to make sure everything was out in the open and to get everything cleared up and moving smoothly. Nobody really wanted to sort things out claiming the trust between us was broken.
I have to say I think is laughable that I'm the one who broke the trust when they are the ones who went behind my back to give Casper the ultimatum, also referring back to Tai's issues he gave out important information to a member and yet that apparently is acceptable.

So here I come to the conclusion that it is in my best interest to inform you all of my resignation.
This has nothing to do with rank or anything else of the sort, I'm not mad or angry but I am disappointed by the way certain people have acted.
Blackmailing, backstabbing and mistrust are simply behaviours I refuse to work with. So I am not willing to stay here any more even though I was offered a new rank so I could stay but as I have already mentioned in this post my reasoning for leaving is not rank related but more of a moral stance.

What's done is done, I just felt I owed the community an explanation and I understand that from here on in you are probably going to hear a lot of stories. I don't want anyone to be demoted or punished, I just want to give you my side of the story.

I know i exposed a lot of things behind the scenes now but this was the first and last time i did it since im leaving cause i needed to explain to everyone the situation.

I want thank you all from the bottom of my heart for everything you done and for your companionship all these years to this long journey of this community.
I had a lot of experiences here a lot of friends and that's what counts the most for me and I am thankful for that to all of you.
I wish each one of you to be well and all the best to your lives.

Take care everyone!

Dear Ambrosians,

As I'm sure most of you are aware a small group of us are leaving the ambrosia community.
I'm not going to go in to great detail, but I would like you all to know that this has been one of the hardest decisions I  have ever had to make.
this community has been a big part of my life and its going to leave a void that will be hard to fill.

It has come to a point where I feel my loyalty to shark has to come first. As I said I wont go in to details but as we have grown as people our opinions and professional decisions have become very different and it is no-longer practical for us all to work together.
I also what you to know that this wasn't something that we just decided over night, this has taken a lot of thinking and talking and I even tried to give it one more chance, but we have all taken different paths and its time to walk away and cherish the memories and friendships we have.

Thank you all for you input, good and bad it has helped me learn. I hope I will be able to keep in touch with some of you and I hope that you are all successful in the choices you make. I sincerely hope that this community thrives on and becomes everything I know it can be.

The best of luck to each and everyone of you.

Sup all,

Well you have already read Roni's and Shark's posts, heck my post won't be as long (probably longer....) I promise.
The decision to leave wasn't one of the easiest ones. It was a rather hard choice, but shortly, I do not believe we can work together any longer. It is not fun any more and I won't blame anyone for it, it just happens. I believe the best is to split apart and keep some of the friendships with the people here than rather involving ourselves in an aggressive sort of a relationship which in a long run becomes a burden. It destroys the community and fun/atmosphere it cannot be forced or taught, it either comes naturally or it doesn't at all.

My loyalty goes with original creators of Ambrosia that is Piranchas and Shark. Since we parted our ways with Piranchas a long time ago, there was still Shark. Even if he did lose his plot a little bit over the years I think he has learned greatly of the mistakes he has made and was willing to learn from them. I pretty much fight for what is right and I have personally fought some battles here in Ambrosia over the years. Some of which I lost and some of which I achieved a victory. (Yes, forum can also be a one big game field, depends how you look at it). By that I don't mean that was my pure purpose here, no, it was more to do of what I believed was right and wrong.

My friendship with Roni started when we were both HA and HAA of JB. In a sense I couldn't see it happening at first, but then it worked.
I know how Roni can be a temperamental little bish, but he has the heart in the right place and he has the best intentions even if he gets mad and does upset heck ton of people. We all get mad, but being passionate about something and trying to protect it is understandable.
Same as myself, I am one of those people who hate going in roundabouts, I prefer saying things straight out cold than try to find a better way, trust me, I know it isn't the best thing always and I have come to learn and understand how to portray my words in a better manner and not upset as many peeps as I used to.

I loved this place, this community and I still do, but it is better to leave than pretend that everything is ok when it isn't.
All I want to say really is that I wish the community best of luck and remember - People can be replaced, no one is irreplaceable.


My special thanks for putting up with me and my ways goes to:

*All the JB administration team*
Jay - Although you didn't finish the last request I made :(
Burzum - for being who you are, dude with balls!
Popay - even tho we are not in good terms, I hope we are still friends.

I could make this list longer than the whole topic, I just wanted to point out a couple rather than a whole community as trust me, the list goes very long. Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of friendships and a lot of people who's good and bad side I have seen. It is somewhat a great experience, to see all the people either growing up, doing things they thought they wouldn't of in the past or going completely opposite ways, to the dark side!

Erm, what else? Oh yes, the Emperors themselves. I hope you guys make a great future for Ambrosia here and I hope that you've also learned from your mistakes.
Judge with fairness and objectivity.

Regards,
Eros a.k.a I_am_sami

Roni. Eros, Shark...  I never really talked with you lot much but the times in which we did, when we was on deathrun and it was emporers, ha's, haa's, uc's ect was really nice and it will be sad to say that you lot are actually leaving ambrosia as you 3 have done aloott of work here.. I wish i coulda gotten to know you lot better and play with you lot more but you cannot change the past only shape the future So i guess it may be goodbye (i may see you around in the future) And i hope you have a good and successful life.

You did, but there are some small details. Regardless, I don't mean to add fuel to the fire here, I left in good terms with sami and very good terms with Roni, I might post my thoughts on this one day in the future, maybe in more form of a subjective blog, but as for now, I wish this topic to serve as a way to say goodbye. I do not wish to defend myself or anyone here due to formal reasons, as I wish for Shark to leave in peace and out of mutual respect, although I could have a word or two to say about it, I will not go into details as I promised and would prefer this topic to be the place where I say my goodbye to all three of them. Was a blast to be working with you Sami & Roni and for Shark I hope one day you'll understand my intentions were only good and maybe that I did not act as grim as you portray it out to be. I still respect you tremendously, heck I still consider you as my friend, as weird as it may sound to you and I find it a shame it had to come to this.

All in all, I wish all of you luck in your future careers and lives in general. It was a pleasure working with you and I hope to see you around, least every now and then.

*hugs*

How tai react's ingame when something unexpectables happens: owooow :0

Shark!
You've been one of the red guys I knew I can troll with and joke with and have a lot of fun with. You're an funny guy ingame and on ts. It's been a pleasure working with you. We all do mistakes, but as long as they weren't on purpose but more for a good intension there shoulden't be any problem with it!

I wish you all best in future!

Roni!
Shqipe mos um le more vet :P I was able to always contact you and you always, like a IT-Section immediately replyed and helped me. You for me deserved the rank due the fact you did a lot for this community. Sometimes you act stupid or foolish but I guess that's just you =)

Eros!
Mr.Grey? Remember our first cup together? We got owned like 2 bots :D You're awesome guy, you were the perfect unban panel guy, you're funny and you can be very strict when needed. You did say, people are replaceable, but sadly not all... ;)


I wish ya all good time in future and I hope you guys sort out these few problems you have with each other.
