Alright, Jesse. First, I want to establish something. I'm not some mindless drone. I'm not some guy following the general populous. No, I have spent more than my fair share of time defending you, I really have. And I've been in your position before. I was owner, I had people trying to get rid of me, I know it sucks. However, there's something else I had to learn. I wasn't, in the end, right for the job. I thought I was doing well, I really did. But people weren't happy. And in the end, I had to step down. I realized that I had to do what was best for the server, which involved realizing that what -I- thought was best, was wrong.

The fact is, Valikorlia is in a sad state of affairs. We lost our best scripter (Yes, I realize he was asking for it.) and until today I have not seen another NAT on. We have had two RP Admins, myself and Jargo. In common we shared a dislike for how we were treated by the players. I can't say the other reasons he quit, but I know why I did. I felt like I was useless. I studied the progression of everything in Val, from little guilds to huge nations, and tried my best to balance everything. Then you come in approving things like nukes and new gods, which totally throws everything I work to maintain out of balance, while leaving me with no authority because it was your decision. And in the end, I would clean up the mess.

Now, here's the thing. We have lost FIVE RP Admins in the last few months. Myself, Jargo, Aren and Nadrion (Who both deserved it, don't get me wrong) and Vermain. We've gained ONE. Zangus. That leaves just him. No new RPA have been hired. Zangus has had computer problems. That leaves us with NONE. Now, we have another problem when you just suddenly revive a nation under some random guy who has no real claim. You, again, are disrupting the balance and meddling where you are, let me be frank, not supposed to be meddling in. You're not THERE to see everything that goes on, you're not THERE to be a part of this world, you should NOT be able to just do whatever you want.

This does not end at that. You have, frequently, deleted things at random, for breaking rules. The problem? You don't consult the proper admins. They're always left cleaning up your messes, and whether you mean well or not, it still happens. I can't say definitively, but the fact that we can never seem to hold on to any File Admins seems to be, at least on some level, a result of this. Our staff list as a whole is pitiful, and its not getting bigger by itself.

Listen. I like you, I really do. And I know what its like to be in your position. But you need to wake up and smell the coffee. This Valikorlia, its not working. And its not going to get better the way its going. We have our best players quitting, and what we're left with is going to hell as well. Jesse, its time to step down. Let me tell you, I hated stepping down. I felt horrible. And there were people who loved rubbing it in my face, that I couldn't do it. I'm friends with all those people now. They ended up RESPECTING me because I threw in the towel. People don't respect you, Jesse. I'm telling you right here and now a lot of people hate you, they hate what you're doing, and they're going to keep hating it and keep conspiring until you're gone, possibly forced out.And THAT will feel horrible. I know other people have tried, but this is my go. Please, Jesse. Please listen to everyone. Your time is over, we need a new direction, we need a new owner. I know it sucks hearing it. I hated to hear it. But reputations last a long time. And people remember me a lot better because I left when I saw what I was doing wasn't working. So that's what I have to say. Take it, leave it, jail me, ban me, that's what I have to say. Thanks for reading this, I realize it was both long and somewhat insultive, but I can't sit here and watch the server I love continue to die.
