I know I had stated that my leave from Stratham would be a temporary one, but I am afraid I have to announce that it will be more permanent than expected. I thank everyone who I worked with over the year. I will include long texts in spoilers so you don't get drowned out, but they all have 'Too Long, Didn't Read' sections, don't worry.
I hereby resign from all of my government duties including the judge position. I apologise that I couldn't hold it for long. That position was the only thing keeping me hesitant about this decision.
The big question: Will I come back anytime soon? Probably not. Will I ever come back? Not off the table, we shall see once the dust settles.
So long, everyone... I'll stay in discord to chat.

There are two main reasons to my more than temporary leave. First is obvious: the recent staff interference.
I won't get into whether the staff interference was correct or wrong, that is a topic that requires an analysis way above the paygrade of this excuse of a personal letter to everyone. I can just say this, however: I love complexitiy, and it seems that the server is currently moving away from it. From the staff interference to the remaining playerbase (which has been drastically altered by this staff interference), that seems to be the general idea.
I love (or loved) this server, and I had a lot of fun here in politics, but it seems that what I enjoy - the complexitiy of law and politics - is not what this server is now aiming for and actively moving towards - simplicity.
The second reason is less to do with wrongdoings - hence why I put it later. I'm currently traveling the Turkish countryside with my girlfriend (actually on an overnight bus with her as I write this) and that has inspired me to build something rural and or town-sized. Giant fields, rural factories etc... So I decided to dust off my old server and an old world and start on that instead, with the ability to enjoy that in any way I want, without being limited to simplicity as I was before. That way, I can write laws and create organisations with really complicated structures as well as build stuff as I wish.
TL;DR:
I don't like how the server is moving towards simplicity + I Want to build rural stuff raaah so I'm going to dust off that old server shaft for a while.
