It’s been a hell of a ride Hey guys. So honestly, over the past couple weeks I've tinkered with this but I think it is time for me to resign and really leave the server for the most part. There are many reasons for me resigning again, although it’s less based on the server than it was last time. This is more for personal reasons, but there are still some server related shit I would like to address. And no, this isn’t a mass resignation purge 2.0 extravagance like last time, it’s purely me My time on Buildcraftia is a time I will never forget. I met amazing people, did amazing things, and matured as a person. I really felt like Buildcraftia was one of the few places I could be myself. I’d thought I would highlight a few of my closest friends throughout my time on the server; Dusty, Ryan, Napkin, Remmi, Matty, Gio, and Bubbles. These are the people who I would consider my closest of my close friends. Kn0wn, Yva, Kash, Nine, Ivy, Lee, Chip (Still love you bb <3) , Phoenix and Miner I was also good friends with. But I was never as close to them as I was to the people I listed first. And no, those aren’t my only friends. I really consider myself to be friends with many of the folks on the server. Kai, Stick, word, pink-winx, CJ, Dy, Greg, Kobe, Fan, Jessie, Razer, Leo to name a few. But really, I have never had the opportunity to show what the people on the server mean to me, so yea, get ready for the boring part. Dusty is really my closest friend on the server. She was always there for me and always backed me up, through hell or high water. I really consider her as the only person I ever opened up truly to. As much of a nubcake that she is, she is a damn good person. And I could really never replace her as a friend. I’ll say that i’m surprised she has decided to remain staff, due to her personal life at the moment. I’m not the one to be saying what she’s dealing with, that’s her privacy and if she wants is, respect it. But I respect her as a person and as a friend for staying around this long. Napkin is easily the person I look up to the most. When I was in my early days as a mod over 18 months ago, he along with a few others, really took me under his wing and whether intentionally or not, became somewhat of a father figure to me. And he is also fucking hilarious. His comics are awesome, and really provide a good laugh for me. He is also the person I’ve collaborated with the most on the server (build wise), so that’s also something that I love. Remmi is a weird specimen to talk about. She’s changed a lot ever since I met her. When I met her 2 years (Wow, 2 grand years) ago, she was this innocent, nice girl who I kinda had a crush on (I got over it within a week). Then as she became mod, then resigned, she became this badass Remmi. Both are really desirable people to be friends with. Remmi really took me under her wing, much like napkin, and taught me every kink I need to know about logblock. Gio was my first friend I can truly remember from the server. Me and him just used to dick around on Mineplex, which was fun. He, like Napkin and Remmi , took me under his wing and taught me a lot of my staffing knowledge. He also was a pretty sick builder. Matty is one hell of a story to talk about. When I first remember him becoming community manager or whatever the fuck it was on the old old old BC, I hated him. Honestly thought he was a grinch who had enjoyment in being a dick. But once I became staff, I really got to know him. I really found out how hilarious he was, and how wise he also is too. He is very logical in his reasoning, and really was the one person who pushed me from being a mediocre staff member into a true staff member. Good friend, fun times, always fun to talk to him once a month or so on skype when he’s on. Ryan is honestly one nicest person i’ve ever met. Super enthusiastic about the server, good staff member, very mature for his age, all the fancy shit. I first became friends with him when we started building the Cali House together. Well, I kinda helped him once, then twice, then it just turned into a joint venture. His friday weekly streams were fun as fuck, and it was always enjoyable watching them. Even though he is never on anymore, I consider him a good friend. And lastly but certainly not least; Bubbles. Bubbles too was also very, very kind. And I mean super super kind. It was almost annoying how sweet and loveable she was to everyone. But that is what made her such a good person. We are now always freaked out when we talk to each other, since we found out we live about 30 miles away. But meh, lovely person to talk to. Really was. It’s always charming to see her around once in a while :> Now after that, let’s get to the meaty part; Why I’m leaving. Well, I’m honestly not into Minecraft as much as I used to be. And for anyone who thinks they will never say that, you will some day. Everyone on the server will eventually grow out of Minecraft. I’m also in High school now, and I want to really make some good friends, and keep the ones I have. So spending 6 hours a day on a computer looking at some digital blocks isn’t the wisest idea. Few other personal reasons, but I won’t go into detail. I also think it better that I resign now on my own terms verses me being inactive and a weight for the staff team. I’m also not too keen on the direction of the server. Ever since the mass resignations I was part of, and Azza leaving for the army, the server has been a big clusterfuck. Leo, i’m surprised he still has a brain. He for a large portion of the summer and fall was trying to manage coding and owning a server. A great deal of respect is owed to him for keeping the server afloat. Although some of the decisions he made are disagreeable, his work can’t be denied. The leadership team though is in shambles (owners). Jessie becoming owner was a necessary move, albeit though, not one that has shown its good side so far. Jessie isn’t necessarily running a dictatorship or anything, it’s just that I don’t think she has really gotten her feet wet as an owner yet. Azza is in the army, but he is doing a shit-ton for the server when he is on breaks. I do respect that. Once again, some decisions he makes are disagreeable, but his work can’t be denied. Matty is gone as an owner but once again, still a good friend to me. Now, back to our good ol’ friend Mac. Mac is honestly inactive and isn’t doing anything to help the server at the moment. I seriously haven’t seen him truly active in months. I don’t know if it’s school or something, but come on man, you gotta at least contribute something to the server. I know people have a life, but like, there is a point in which you are just inactive. Mac is inactive, nothing else can be said. His previous work can’t be denied, like the others, but at this current course in time, he just isn’t active and is serving no practical purpose as an owner. The API is looking good so far, but it’s just coming along to slow. I hate to say this, because I know leo has been working his ass off, but it really needs to pick up steam. This is once again why Mac being inactive doesn’t help the server. When leo needs Mac to do something, Mac isn’t necessarily there. This brings me up to that satisfactions survey I made for the server about a month ago. Basically, the general consensus of the community is that most (By no means all), don’t felt heard, and feel ignored. The forums suggestions are honestly never looked at. The activity of staff has plummeted. Most people are just staying on the server because of the community and their friends. That is honestly what I consider to be the one reason the server has stayed alive through Arcadia, new Buildcraftia, staff resignations, all the shit. The direction does not look good. And I’m hoping something is done with the results of the survey. I was telling you guys that something was hopefully going to get done, I’m still hopeful. But i’m hopeful in a different way; I’m hopeful for the servers sake. Even though I’m not going to be around as much, I still want people to enjoy Buildcraftia. I will end with some final thoughts on a few more people, and some closing statements; ~Phoenix: Great guy, super mature, really insightful as to where the server should be headed ~Yva: Girl got some attitude. Fierce and loyal, good friend to have ~Kn0wn: Funny guy, honest, good builder, and my maid. ~Kash: Good guy, personality is either hit or miss, but can become a likeable fellow ~Ivy: Good redstoner, pvp master, funny, smart ~Kai: Nice and likeable. Good friend to have ~Miner: Wise, mature, honest. 3 things I value quite highly ~Nine: Hilarious as fuck, sometimes gets a little too jokey, but good dude ~Leo: Master penguin, wise, damn good coder ~Azza: Can get defensive at times, but is good at getting shit done for the server ~Lee: Nice person, really good with kids, hilarious, and good friend ~Chip: #cheremy ~Tom: Always love the way you talk, it’s hilarious and always makes me laugh ~Word: Determined builder, little too caught up on drama, but good fellow ~Jessie: Good person, funny at times, but seems a little lost as an owner ~Dry: Your jokes are funny but at the same time offensive. Stay funny but know a filter ~Hestia: Super mature for her age, good person to be around ~Olo: Mature for his age, very innovative mind ~Fan: Good fellow, loved building BA2 with him ~Razer: Go flames boy ~JohnnyMan: Mature, quiet and unassuming, always like those people I just wasted 10 minutes of your life you can never get back so good job me. Anyways, i'll probably be around on the server maybe once a week for a few minutes, but for the most part i’m going to try and keep away from Minecraft. I’ll always still be on skype if you ever need me for whatever reason, got laid, personal issues, boredom, whatever the fuck it is, I gotchu. Anyways that’s enough talking for me, i’ll see you nubcakes around. ~JeremyC
We never built a roller coaster together. Well, I wish you luck with making new friends and hope your life outside of the server is good. We'll miss you a lot, Jer. <3
I'm really sorry we never got to really know each other, but I'm glad you are continuing on with your life. And these things you've mentions about BC, are scarily accurate, but they needed to be said, and you really got the point across. I'm saying this on behalf of the community, that we thank you for your hard work for Buildcraftia.
You were the best moocow we ever could have had. But alas, you've got some reasons, and we have no rights to interfere. Good thing you'll still be in contact though. Good luck.
Although we were not really that good of friends, I always wanted to become friends with you. You just seem like a genuinely nice and funny person. Good luck with High School and don't get turned into a cheeseburger.
Jeremy, you'll be missed on the staff team, bud. You are easily one of my closest friends and I know I can talk to you no matter what. But Chip will always be mine . But in all serious, you're a great guy and you are going to go far in life. But don't worry, I'll still bug you on skype.
I would like to thank you for your effort you have put towards the server in the past few years. I'm really sad to see you go, but I see your reasons. I wish you all the best for the future and remember to bow to the penguin overlords <3
Awesome builder mate, & I don't blame you for leaving. I've seen you mature through the past couple years, yet you always balanced that maturity with a great sense of humour. I hope you drop by from time to time; you never know, the server might've got somewhere
I hate to see you go. I'd have a big rant here, regarding how the server is run, but this isn't th place for it. Anyways, I'll see you in another life, brother. <3
Thanks....Ill never change....I find offensive jokes the best..... Good luck on whatever you proceed to do my cow friend
I think the Blackhawks need more support right now, the Flames have been winning very often lately. Go Blackhawks! <insert Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane meme here> On a much more serious note, you'll be missed greatly. Whether we were on other servers fooling around, or bringing Cow Co. 2.0 in my in game city, or even almost figuring out your exact address, you were always a fun guy to have around. See you on Skype, (maybe,) Razer
We'll miss you cow, I hope that everything works out for you in the end. Keep up that old man laugh of yours, I'll never forget it
I'm gonna be having a long chat with you on Skype Mr Jer Bear. Be ready for feels, IM COMING FOR YOU. You've been warned.
From your local preacher, @cow, I wish you the best. May whatever Cow God you believe in keep you safe. See ya on the other side. Also, who's up for funeral prep for the Cow?
Yass, please. xD Anyways, Jer, I guess I've never really been close and/or had a conversation with you although, we've been in a couple of group calls together before. Nevertheless, hope you enjoy your future and good luck (to you and your personal issues)! Perhaps some day you'll come back? xD
we weren't the closest but hey you had a great presence and you seem and i'm pretty sure you are a real great person so don't lose that characteristic you lovable cow bean. the server and i will miss you m8 so good luck on whatever u wanna do and stay rad, homes. c u round m8ey p.s presuming that u mean tomboiiwolfie when u say tom (i hope u do or this is rlly rlly awkward) thanks man :d<3
