Hello all,
For those that know me, you have probably been expecting this post for the past several months. I regret to say, I no longer have the time or inclination to commit what I consider a deserving amount of time to NI. For some time now, I have been extremely inactive and I will no longer let my inactivity affect a game I once loved in the way it is doing so. I have stuck around in an attempt to find more spare time to devote to NI, but I have been unable to do so and will not be able to any time soon.
To VLKA, I am proud of what we achieved when I took over leadership of this house, we rebuild ourselves up to the former glory of the house and I was a very proud leader and appreciative of what we accomplished. A big thank you to Benschie and Legend who played a major part of rebuilding VLKA, also many thanks to those senior members that stuck with us and continued to be becons of what is good and right in NI. As well as thanks to our recent Captains, Winter, Hablam and Brennanx.
To the AU community, I was also pleased with building this community up from scratch again and actually being the largest NI active community for a brief period of time. So many thanks to those that played every day and kept in good spirit while doing so. Yet again a big thank you to Benschie for helping so much in this regard, and also to the senior AU members that helped out here too.
To the admins I have overseen, thanks for maintaining a good standard of equality and fairness throughout your time under me, I was proud of all my active serving admins.
However, I can not at least acknowledge how disappointed I am in myself in hanging around for as long as I did and not giving my full attention to the above three listed group of players. I feel as though the hard work that I and others put in had in part been completely diminished by my lack of motivation and time that I was able to devote to this great mod. So I apoligse to all those affected by this decision of mine. I do however have faith that a few determined individuals can help all these groups regain the high standard that was considered the norm throughout NI.
A brief aside to all players who read this. The game has changed a lot since I first started, the community has changed with it, but not for the better. I would encourage players to enjoy themselves more when playing, as well as showing a level of respect that all players deserve and hope that those that are struggling to find motivation can regain that lost love for this wonderful mod.
Finally, a big thank you to all past and present developers for creating such an appealing and great mod for what could be considered an average game. A special shout out to Barristan and Hypernoma who were great leaders for the NI community and made being part of this community a joy. I would also like to take this chance to thank all those minor (major) contributors who make this game possible to continue, the admins, the senior admins, the scene workers, the modelers, the donators and server hosters.
I wish everyone who continues to work on NI all the best of luck trying to keep it fresh and exciting for past, present and future players. May there be many more years of NI being played on warband servers full of players playing in good spirit and having fun while doing so.
With this post, I close this thread, I am sure VLKA will be fine and I will let the new leader made a new post when leadership is established. I will still be around and will try my best to play as frequently as I can but for now, good bye and farewell.
