Fallen...read if you want...if not then eh x_X

How can I start this off....Well first and foremost...most of you people, see me as an ass. It's fine, I understand that, a lot of you do not even like me at all. I have what very few true friends on this game, that actually wouldn't betray me, they know who they are, and I know they haven't cuz it's something you know. They may think it's them, but I am not naming names. Anyways the purpose of this, I am not sure what's going on anymore. I spend time working/school, and have barely time to chit chat, and I play graal, counter-strike, ut2003. THats mainly what I do on the computer, add a study session in there for things in school, and thats basically it. Going out and doing things, eh, people do drugs, and smoke up..Thats not me, it'll never be me, frankly people who sit there and use all types of drugs, I don't really agree with it, but they may have other issues or just do it because, they are addicted and they love it. Thats not me, it'll never be me. It's not dissing anyone, people do what they do, and whatever they want to do. With that said for the past 2 years, has been up and down, and up and down. Constantly with a lot of misdirections and problems. I have made a lot of mistakes, and I do make mistakes because I'm not perfect, anyways, I'm guilty of talking trash about people, and stuff, but they are guilty of doing it about me.

What the point is, that I've never gone above and beyond that, I generally tell people to their face/im screen about my problems with them, generally. I am not fortunate enough for people to actually come to me and lash out and say this is what the problem is, yet they snicker and turn away and do their own little things, eg. Making webpages, making "funny" graphics, and such. It's so pathetic. Sure I can go out and do all that stuff about people, but if you have the time to do all that, you live a sorry life, and you really need to do something with your time than sit there and make pages about people, if you dislike them, be a woman/man and tell them straight up, are you afraid of what they'll say? or afraid that you may actually see that you could be friends with them? The internet has totally changed a lot. People are constantly saying "I'm your friend" then they'll take all information and betray that person for a simple laugh or giggle. Trust has been lost with me and a lot of people. Some people care, some people wish I was dead/gone. Hey those who care, I thank you but the fact is, I can't do everything. You request stuff, and I can't do things because in my heart they aren't right, yet it's corrupt of me, to give second chances. It's corrupt of me to allow people to have second chances, and give them what they want...Yep I'm definately the all mighty bad guy here, people sit here and constantly put me down, hey I put myself down, but the fact remains everywhere I turn it's something hateful and spiteful. For 2 years listening to people go on and on. People like Shavo, singling him out is quite easy because I don't like him but thats as far as it goes. I respect him to no end. Does he respect me? nah, is he going to ever? Nah he just goes around saying **** about me. I've said crap about him, but I stopped. I make it known that I don't like him, and thats that. I was hearing what he was saying today on Maloria, and well he can say what he wants. He has a habit of putting people down for laughs or for his following. Sadly he could be something much more if he used his talents for good, instead of how he handles himself. I said I respect him. I like his graphics, his work, his attitude, I dunno but hey I get over things so...To me no matter how much I hate that guy, I can sit there and talk to him 1 on 1 about whatever he has to say and RESPECT what he says and take into consideration of what he's saying. I've done that in the past for others.

As I said, I made some mistakes, I made poor judgements, and did things, yet am I ever able to be sorry for what I've done? Nah people make sure I carry it around forever, and just sit there and say oh look he did that a year ago, look at him...pffft whatever, I just am sick of everything right now. I wanted to quit graal so many times, but I can't walk away because of how I really feel, I sit here and ALWAYS try to do the right thing. You may not agree with me, you may not like it, but hey I try to do what I have to do. My "friends" know when I am on, I'm all business, I don't care if you are my friend or not, what has to be done has to be done...The perception of graal is that staff and non staff can't co-exist. People be-friend me because I jailed them or have to ban them. I am always trying to do what you want, it's impossible to please the world, it's impossible for everyone to like me, to care what I do or like what I do. I know atleat 70% of the people want me fired, or want me to quit. Sure sometimes I react, and I over react...but I just follow policy 98% of the time. It's hard to follow it when it changes, or that I'm misinformed, and I appologize for all the wrong I did to people, all the misjailings and all that. What can I do? I'm human, we make mistakes, I atleast have admitted that I've done wrong, and I try to better myself, better graal but it's never enough, it's never enough for everyone who hates me, or starts to hate me for whatever reason.

So I don't know where this is going, but I do know I am just at the end of the line here, I am gonna hire an assistant like figure, with unixmad's permission and train him and then from then on I dunno, cuz I know nothing will stop, they'll be more pages, more problems, more gossip, no matter what people pick out everything I do. I say one thing and it's all over and people are changing it, and making it to their advantage, or making pictures and posting them on pages, defacing me, discriminating me, being racist to me, everything......I'm just posting my feelings, and I dunno whats gonna happen, I do not want to leave, but hey I guess the people who rally against me will eventually kick me down and thats that. I've tried to make graal fun, I've tried to do what you want, tried to get you all what you needed. Hell with Angel's and Damien's help, I brought Graal Radio to the public. People liked it, but hey I'm the bad guy no matter what, always something bad has to go around, can't ever have any goodness. I try to bring the community together, and people instantly crash it down and start rebelling, it's something I can't fight it. People will read/listen to what their friends say, I said it before. I've done wrong, but I'm just saying all I want is a clean slate so I can make graal fun again x_X.... I have this radio, and I have all these other ideas, but they take time. I've worked my ass off for years on this place. I've taken breaks because I was burning out, and I turned to the people who thought cared, but actually didn't give a ****, so what is the point of trusting people. All I can say is that i have some pretty damn good friends on graal, that I talk to every day, they know who they are, and it's been almost years or years for me talkin to them....

I have a lot of soul searching and decisions to make right now, so I'll play music and just think and drift off and post when I talk to unixmad about the situation, I know to you guys I'm not even valuable, so hey, sorry for all the mishaps, the problems, everything... if I do start the radio tonight, you guys can tune in, I dunno how it'll be like, but if I don't turn it on tonight, then I'm sorry for who liked the radio, I'm sure someone else will do it and be ten times better than I've ever been....Just remember I tried to please the majority, but it was the minority of the people that just I dunno...I am seeing what I can do...I love graal, I want to be apart of it...I'll say I hate graal or it's not good, but it's outta frustration from all the abuse x_X, hard to love something when people constantly kick you and pick at you till you fall and just you just snap or break...I'm sorry to all those, what else can I say....I want to stay, if I get fired for this, or whatever, it was great being here, and I hope graal progresses into something grand in the future

-Fallen Nemesis x_X

Big post took me a bit to read it all. I like you. I think you do a great job. When they said there where no more player world owners and you where the main guy. I wasnt to sure and had a distrust and perhaps a distaste for you. But at the time I didnt truly understand the situation. But at some point in time I grew to understand the new change of managment and what not. It was a great decision for who ever made it. To make sure there was some one mature and responsible running the playerworlds. I can only imagine the crap you have to put up with as global staff. I suppose being a manager of co-manager is only a fraction of the headache. I especially grew to like you after I talked to you on classic. But dont get to far down because yes there are people who dont like you or the job you do. But there are those of us who think you're doing a great job but we're just not as vocal about it. Easier to make a post to complain about some one then it is to make a post when everything is ok or doing great. Just keep up the good work and dont give up.

I never though you were mean, Nem. You've always been nice and considerate to me, so I always thought you were cool...
Well, best of luck with your plans.

It's hard to imagine Nemesis being an evil or bad guy, it really doesn't make much sense to me. He is probably one of the easiest and nicest admins to talk to, easier than anyone, and he actually seems to care. If he doesn't, well, he's fooled me thus far.

I know for a fact that without Nemesis the PWA wouldn't even be reviewing playerworlds, he tries really hard to get things organized and whenever this is a staff problem/issue online he's always there to listen and finally take action.

I also know what you mean about trying to leave Graal. There are some days when I ask myself why I am even playing, but in the end it's really the community and the job(s) that keep me here. My friends, co-workers, some of the environment, that's what keeps me here after all this time. It's really easy to walk away from a game that is big like Everquest or StarCraft because there is no real sense of comunity in such a big corporate game unless you join a guild, on Graal it's much different, there is a sense of belonging after playing for a while.

I don't imagine how you can be fired for posting this, your feelings, and you're not even putting the game itself down so I think you're alright

Yes it was a long post, but I do not blame him. He's been dealing with this stuff for a long time and he finally had the guts to express it. I also don't blame you Nemesis for not being able to trust people. Maybe people should be more considerate, do you uys know that people do have feelings, even if there an adult, and even if they don't show that they are hurt. I just want to apologize to you Nem for all the times (if ever) that i have annoyed you, and so on..I hope people actually put into heart what you wrote and let you start on a new clean slate. So far you have been doing great, but i was only with Graal for 1 year..so i can't really say you've always been great. Anyway to close i would like to say that you should never quit, and ignore what people say even if it hurts you. Forgive them and go on with life..you have better things to deal with.
Sincerely,
Menace
P.S:I love Graal Radio and i dont think anyone can be better than you at hosting it..

Alright first of all...Everything you said Marc, was True...One main thing I see in EVERY graalian is this.(experianced by me). Everyone is so nice to you when your the owner of a server or have lots of power on a server, or in Nemesis case is Global Staff, EVERYONE sucks up to you then they will ask for something you cannot grant them. So what do they do? They turn on you...They talk behind your back everywhere and critisize everything you do. The pressure builds up and eventually you just break or have to quit. Also, most of you call me a thief.....I have never stolen anything, the Graphics team I hired had so I would appreciate if you redirect your insults towards them. Well...Nemesis Ill miss ya and someday when you return I'll besure to listen to your radio show again

-Peace always
-Your Friend

Wait, are you quitting or just thinking about quitting?

I don't think I've been a very good friend to you. The only time I talk to you is when I need something about Graal and I don't really think you want to discuss that topic. I also get in the way of a lot of things that you are supposed to deal with because people are impatient and can't wait for you...sorry :[

To clear up. Shavo was an example. He's not the only one, as I said I respect him, he knows that. That is that. It's not "just" him, if you think thats the case

Nemmy, you are a great person, and friend....if you quit, do it for yourself, do it because it is what you really want to do, not because others want to push you out....then they win
As for Shavo....PFFFFFFFFT!! Dont even let anything he says bother you

Nemesis, I really appreciate your acts... You were always a great Global Staff, as for now, Classic Playerworlds Game Master, and were always considerated my friend, I don't know if you considerate me your friend...

Moon said something completely correct, don't let other people pressure you to do something you don't want to. If you want to quit, then quit because YOU want to, not because other people want to...

As for shavo, I'm sorry for him, he's Asst GFX Chief on Maloria, and I will do everything to help you... I think I will talk to him, and try to show him, you're not the Nemesis that he uses to talk about...

Peace...

I like and trust Nem
Hmm.. Never knew what was going on with him =(
I did try and get to notice him and get him to notice me so we could be friends as before he was GM i'd chat frequently with him, But now he seems to be very busy with is a shame for him. And I had his s/n but now hes changed it and he wont give it to me, I dont think your an ass nem, and I'd be friends and caring if you let me but it seems you wont. The other day I said:

''Can I have your AIM''
''I dont Know you.''
''But you never will''
''I know.''

I wanted him to get to know me, but it doesnt look likly anymore which is a shame as Nem is cool and one of the better people Ive met on this game.

Im like CyberX I consider you a friend, But friendship is a two way game and without you also considering us you wont know you have these friends. Hmm.. Well im a bit.. I cant find the right word, but maybe all these nice people in the post like me and Cyber for eg, we are genuine people, Why not make friendship with us the 2 way thing?

I can only imagine how hard it must be.Being Manager is hard enough.If your liked fine, if your not your the biggest you know what.
And yes, as soon as you dont do something somebody wants they go behind your back and flame you.
Its happened to me so many times, and will continue to happen.
Every now and then someone else up and flames me all because i didnt hire them or i fired them. Meh , i got asked twice if i was offered global would i accept, and i said no.
Nem i know at times i dont agree with what you do, and i even get outspoken about my thoughts on matters, but i know you do your best.
Im always here to be a friend, not just another Manager with problems.

By the way, you should be Knighted for services to Doomsday. You've done more than the rest of us Owners ever did.

This is the part where i'm supposed to feel bad for poor old nemmy.. well truth be told i've tried to talk to you many times. Ignored, cut off, whatever. I don't know you and i'm not going to pull a nice soothing story out of my ass like some of these other idiots did. I would like to know you, but you aren't making it very easy for anybody

On the other hand, you do a fine job at what you do and we don't have anybody to replace you who would match up. Even if they think they would.

You're not one of these *****s who gets picked on and caves in.
