Frances Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 It's been a fun year. However, it's time for me to leave. Life's caught up with me, and I honestly can't dedicate all the effort and energy I owe you guys anymore. Being part of the Aurora community for nearly a year has been an amazing experience, and I'm glad I was able to share many moments with you all, from sleepless nights of binging through round after round to absolutely ridiculous events. We've gone through a lot of people in that year. Some have stayed, some have left. Some have even come back. And for those who have not, we always find equally awesome people ready to take their place at every turn. The server has changed, too. For the best? I don't know, but that's what I hope. It's the reason why I stepped out of my hole of fucking around on ridiculous characters and generally not taking anything seriously (as well as being hyper-sarcastic) to try to lend you guys my help. And as a community, I can say that we really are getting shit done. We've grown to astounding levels since last spring, and managed to maintain a level of quality both in RP and in staff which honestly impresses me. I'm just one gal. And while it was my pleasure to assist however I could with whatever jobs needed to get done, I have no doubts that the server will be able to go on fine without me, and that new prospective members will rise up to take mod and admin positions (as they always have). Besides, we've still got Skull's unfaltering resolve to hang onto, and I'm convinced the guy's still going to be around running the show far after all of us have left. As for me, all that I wish is for the server not to forget its roots. We're here to enjoy ourselves. We're here to roleplay, and share our experiences in a game about spessmen in space. Not to enforce a charter of mindless rules. Not to uphold an order of staff dictated by seniority and prestige rather than a person's ability to speak their mind. Not to argue about needlessly petty details, when there's a bigger picture that needs to be taken care of. We're just a bunch of dudes on the internet, trying to play a silly game. So if you ever feel the stress getting to you, take a deep breath, relax, and remember that no one's out to get you. We're supposed to be here to have fun. This is about making friends, and building something together. Keep it real, Aurora. -Frances Quote Link to comment

Guest Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Can't say I didn't see this coming. A spurt of inactivity from one of the core staff members tends to send a pretty clear message. You'll be missed, Fran. Wish you luck. Quote Link to comment
Dea Tacita Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Overcoming the immediate depressing nature of you leaving, I feel like I should say more than "Nooo". Frances, you started playing Aurora around the same time I have and we've talked nearly from the beginning. At first professionally as fellow moderators, but as time went by I honestly began to see you as far more than that. I've talked to you about everything ,from work, to medical issues, to relationships to just talking... and out of all the people I've met, you're one of my favorite to be around. You've called me kind, you've called me intelligent and you've called me wise. And you've made me think a lot better of myself than I probably would've ever without you. You are my friend, you are one of the best administrators I've ever been on staff with and I sit here finding myself far sadder than most people would. This community is better for the time you've invested into it, and it will be vastly diminished by your absence. As am I. Many rounds we've played together and many rounds we've enjoyed together I'm sure. And I feel as if most of the other players on Aurora like you, because you honestly tried your best to make Aurora better, you tried to make it more fun and you did exceptionally well. You'll be missed, because you truly are part of this community. Quote Link to comment

Skull132 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I hate resignations and never know what to say on them. Bleh. Okay. You did an amazing job as an admin and a member of our community. You're also a great person to talk to about whatever, really. See ya about, FFrances. Have a good one and ping me whenever, really. Quote Link to comment
Leore Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Sad to see you go, Frances. Always enjoyed role-playing & working with you on the staff, even though I vanished for a while. Good luck with whatever it is that's caught up with you, just recently got out of a situation like that myself, so who knows, maybe you'll be back! Take care. Quote Link to comment
