if anyone cares

[The Shimmering Banana]

So I feel like Ive been here for years and have not improved in the least bit. So Ive decided to give it up. I joined this site because of my love for one piece. I still have that love but do not have the skill to keep this going. Any one that knows me knows Ive done this a few time but I feel like itll be for good this time. Sorry to thoes of you I have threads with. Especially thoes of you that joined my bounty hunter threads. Over all I just dont feel like I am contributing to the site or becoming a beter writer. This has nothing to do with how the site is run. I auctualy have rp'd diffrent types of sites since AIM days and this one was hands down the BEST!!. Thank you to all of you who always made me feel welcome and goodbye.

I won't ask you to stay, cause that's your decision to make and forcing yourself to post when you don't feel like it, seriously isn't any fun. I too did join the site to improve my English, but most of all I did so for the fun of rping. If the fun isn't there, then there's no point in it.

If it means anything to you, I do think that you improved. You've got your ups and downs like most people, but when I compare your early posts with me to the later ones, there is a upward movement, though maybe not as much as you hoped there would be and personally I can understand how frustrating that can be.

I had a lot of fun rping with you and I thank you for the time you spent with my troublesome Kyou. He wouldn't be the person he's now if he hadn't met Otto.

Whatever you are going to do, I hope you keep your love for One Piece and even if you don't wish to write anymore, if you feel like then drop in for a little chat. : )

Well it's always a sad time to see someone go especially when they've been here for a long time but I can't help but feel that I may be responsible for you feeling this way. I know in the past I've been the one to issue you low grades and pretty harsh criticism. It was never my intent to discourage you or make you feel bad but always meant to teach you what you could improve upon. But I guess I wasn't able to do that well enough to help you stay satisfied with your writing. If anything, I hope that you continue trying to better your work and hopefully return someday with a hunger for 5's.

It's been a long run Otto and I wish you the best of luck for the future in whatever RP setting you endeavor. Just make sure never to lose sight of the ONE PIECE! I wish you a warm farewell and in a few days, a Happy New Year!

Love, Squish~

Your presence among us will be sadly missed, Otto! Whether you think your writing improves or not, part of the fun of this site is the writing in and of itself, no? It's your decision in the end, and we all wish you luck and happiness in life and in future RP.

Maybe you wanted to get to the kind of place where you were getting big grading scores, but honestly, I know the site will miss you. You're like part of the furniture and I am certain that you will be missed by more people than you know~

I wanted Shimmer to join my crew! It's hard to come up with "the awesome" on a consistent basis. Sometimes ideas are hard to come by so our writing takes a hit. I say watch some movies over and over that you really liked or read some books/comics/one piece and then come back inspired. I'll be waiting for you.

Thank youbeveryonebfor your warm words and perhaps I will return one day. Untill then goodbye. Oh and it had nothing to do with the harshness of grading by any grader. I feel that is the reason I stayed soo long was to strive for that 5 mark. Who knows maybe I do just need a break for a bit well see.

Cya round Otto, I had a great time playing with you. Will always remember you helping me start out when I joined here. Thanks everything.

Hope to see you around again sometime, if you decide to change your mind in the future.
