Limitation of activity

Neonfire · Post by **Neonfire** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 11:45 pm

Nach (wirklich) langer Überlegung ziehe ich mich in der Tätigkeit als GM aus folgenden Spielaspekten zurück:

- Game Balancing (die verschiedenen Systeme)
- Roleplay Management (Spielerbespassung) und Quests
- Player Management
- Hintergrundgeschichte und angrenzende Teilgebiete

Letztendlich bleibt folgender Aufgabenbereich ...

- GM-Tool sowie dessen Administration
- beratende Funktion in allen Aspekten (wenn denn gewünscht)
- Ansprechpartner für Spieler ingame und im Forum

Begründung:

Ich will ehrlich sein ... im Moment brauch ich Zeit. Ich hab die ersten zwei Monate der Semesterferien damit zugebracht, für diverse Projekte zu programmieren. Ich merke immer mehr, wie ich den Kontakt zur Realität verliere. Ein etwas längeres Gespräch gestern hat mir viele Dinge klarer erscheinen lassen. Mir ist bewusst geworden, wie viele Dinge ich in letzter Zeit vernachlässigt habe, wie viele Dinge ich vermisse.

Nicht bös sein.

Neonfire, GM a.D.

After (really long) consideration I withdraw from my GM activity in the following aspects of gameplay:

- Game Balancing (different systems, i.e. fighting, magic, economy)
- roleplay management and quests
- player management
- background story and nearby things

At least I am still working in the following aspects:

- GM-Tool (administration utility) and its administration
- function as advisor in different aspects (if needed)
- contact persons for players ingame and on the board

Reasons:

I want to be honest... at the moment I just need the time. I've spent the first two months of my holidays with programming for different projects. I recognized that I was loosing contact to reality. A long chat yesterday made me understand many things, let me see many things clearly. I got sensible of all the things I neglected, many things I missed so much ...

Don't be mad at me.

I'm sure it's always hard when a GM leaves. But as you said you'll still be helping I believe this won't be as bad as the loss of others. This game can be all consuming, and a real life is needed for all of us, so congrats on unplugging yourself from Illarion, many of us struggle to do that, but we aren't ready. I hope that the things you have been neglecting get enough of your attention to bloom and blossum, but be sure and don't forget about us.

The most horrible part of it, is I was just about to e-mail you asking you about some RP advice

.

Fare well Neonfire, hopefully one day you can find the time to come back and be as active as you were, I'm sure there will come a time when you are desperately needed.

Hi Neon,

einerseits ist es schade, dass Du deinen Einsatz zurückschrauben willst, aber andererseits hast Du natürlich auch mein vollstes Verständnis. Ich weiß, wie schnell man sich in einer Rollenspielwelt verlieren und das wirkliche Leben vergessen kann.
Sei dankbar, dass Du Freunde hast die Dich in Gesprächen auf so etwas hinweisen.

Genieß den Rest der Semesterferien irl!

Neon,

All the Gamesmasters that I like the best end up out. First Keikan (regardless of his mess-up), and then you. If Martin leaves us, I'm throwing a fit!

In any case, I think we all understand your decision, but we'll still miss the things you add to the game and your great insight.

I reccomend a nice, relaxing vacation before summer is all cashed out.

Ich verstehe dich (leider?) all zu gut.
Ich kann dir aber mit sicherheit sagen das du das einzig richtige machst. Daher schöne Ferien und geniess es mal so richtig

Thank you for everything you have done in the past, and since your not leaving completely, all that you will do in the future!
