I've got a lot of very nice ooc mails from people asking if I was ok, I just wanted to let everyone know that everything is just fine OOC, I'm still 100% friendly with my corp/alliance, ect, and there is no ooc drama going on. I still heart you all. Thanks so much for the ooc / IC well-wishes.
Mostly just stepping back a bit... FCing hundreds of alliance/coalition people in-game, captaining alliance tourney team to a bit of a poor showing, and x, y, z, other things have just really added up the last month or two....just means I want to take more of a break and a leisurely approach to things again.
When you get to the point you dread logging in because your inbox is going to be full of 25 crisis and 100s of people shooting your virtual stuff every single day, it's time to take a step back for sanity.
I think Sinjin is going to be just great for KPV and I'm keeping Silas' options wide wide open right now. Who knows!
-
Best of Luck mate, i hope you find somthing that lets you enjoy playing again rather than the burden of leadership
-
So, does this mean you have more time to arrange that party of yours? >.>
(Also, glad to hear things are working out in the background and that it's good on all sides - less drama is better!)
-
Having reached this burnout stage as a mere director in a corp, let alone a full CEO or leader in an alliance... my commiserations. Hope you bounce back quickly, as I'd hate to see you down for long.
-
Glad to hear that everything is cool. We've got a couple former nullsec main FCs in our corp that decided that their sanity was more important.
Good luck with whatever you do next, and yes I'm going to keep trying to recruit you. I think you'd be right at home :twisted:
-
hehe thanks.
And yes, I think a decadent IC party is just what the doctor ordered.
BTW lulsec hackers just took down eve site and forums.
-
We have some fun things coming down the pipe.
And I can't say enough enough good things about Silas and his dedication to KPV and all things Khanid. Thanks Boss!
Of course, the game is giving us endless bugs was we're trying to transfer CEO over to Sinjin. And as I'm trying to get it all fixed, the entire game crashes.
I've actually put on CNN to make sure CCP didn't get taken out by a volcano.
*sigh*
And so it begins...
:D

Haxxors?!?
Maybe people shouldn't have tried to raid the Chinese server? Just sayin...
:bash:

New topic on that bit: http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=2397.0.

Ya...
*sigh*
And with Silas out of the way, I was gonna take out Khanid II after lunch.
-
Oh, I am glad to hear (not the hackers, but that everything is allright).
I think Sinjin is going to be just great for KPV and I'm keeping Silas' options wide wide open right now. Who knows!
/me opens the licencious liberal flask
Smell that delicacy !

That's cool, sometimes it's hard to tell if IC events like these are actually 100% IC or not.

That flask smells funny....
-
I hate burning out -_-
-
I have reached near-burnout levels as of late with a good deal less on my plate than that; logging in to 20 emails, 6 convo invites, and seven different dramabombs of varying intensity really, really can reduce the urge to play eve.
Doubling those numbers would send me over the end... kudos for handling it for so long.
-
Silas is one of my favorite characters in Eve, good to hear things are okay.
-
/me hugz Silas.
Glad you're okay chief. :D

Try having to smell that every day! Yeesh.
-
Good to know things are going well (well, NOW anyway) for you Silas o7
I am personallly still completely EVE-deprived (I log in about once in every 3+ weeks) but I am a EVE-Gate hawk, so shoot me a mail IC/OOC any time :P
-

Yeah, sometimes it is. I'm glad that's not the case.
You've accomplished a lot! Scale it back a bit and tackle it all again when the drive and energy is there. Forcing it is what causes the really aggravating bouts of true burnout.
-

Ooh, party \o/
... I'm guessing I won't have any easier a time getting in the door than when you were still in charge of KPV. :(
-
I know the feeling of logging in to that... it's happened to be quite a few times where you just get inundated as the leader of a corp or alliance.
I've lost count of how many times my inbox has looked like this. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v605/verone3784/9d1e4685.jpg)
Sometimes taking a step back is the best thing to do <3
-
Indeed! Taking 10 steps back I'm unsubbing for a few months. I'm realizing I can't half-ass it very well and if i dont cut it all the way I'll just be online every night like usual. After 5 years of being away from game for -maybe- two weeks, it will be good. See you all back in a few months!

Take care and have fun out there!
We'll see you when you get back :D
-
See you soon Silas..
Now that you mention it I think I have been half-assn it for over a year. :lol:
-
Awww, going to miss you, Silas. :( You were a hell of a fun person to interact with. Hope to see you back soon-ish and in much better shape!
-
Definitely disappointing news, but entirely understandable and supported. Hope to see you back when able - Silas was/is one of my favorite people to interact with, I've yet to see anyone else who can convey such unveiled disdain with so few words.
Consice, to the point, vicious... /swoon
Anyhow, I hope your break is good and restful and you're ready to come back and have fun again.

That actually made me smile quite a bit Victoria, thank you. If we get more selfish and pompous amarrians out of it then it was all worth it ;)
Was talking to one of my corpies and we rightly figured out that participating in the 0.0 eve "end-game" was a distraction, and basically took away all the fun stuff that my corp used to do; low-stress fun activities with the other RPers. That environment really just chews you up if you aren't wired for it (and don't have 16 hours a day to be online). When I get back from sabaatical I hope to get back to small corp RP and pew pew, and have my larger friends on call for when things get dicey :) I might hop onto backstage now and then but I'm going to purposefully not check IGS for the next few months for a clean break. If anyone wants to reach me feel free to mail silasvitalia@gmail.com and I'll get to it sooner or later.
I had actually planned to go out on a 'bang' with that huge party and have some soap-opera style shenanigans to take place but just didn't have it in me. We'll throw a big party when I get back and invite everyone.
Fy safe!

Aw, you got the same "nullsec kills RP" syndrome. CVA faced it, and AM too. Same result, more or less, except maybe for CVA.
Hope to see you back soon. o7
