Resignation
It is a curious thing, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well. This applies very well to a lot of good leaders, Skatman is one of them. He has never, to my understanding, sought a leadership position within this clan; instead, he has accepted responsibility when it was needed, and he has done so with splendour. Recently this clan has faced a discussion about becoming more than a PR-clan. After discussions within the High Command we have reached a conclusion to this. Hard times lie ahead of us and this is a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right. What is right is making this into an efficient structure once more. It will be important to fight and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can demotivation be kept at bay though never quite eradicated. But what we must remember is that differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open. By slimming down the structure, removing unnecessary bureaucracy, and keeping those members dedicated to a joint cause we believe that 3dAC can once more be an efficient machine. And this means I am at my end.
In order for this clan to prevail both Curry and I are stepping down from leadership roles, and handing the torch over to those that can carry it on. Curry will remain in 3dAC, but for me it is the end. It has been a long run together and I reached more goals than I hoped. I have made mistakes as have you all, although having - forgive me - more responsibility than most members, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger. I have taken the blame for a lot of decisions, but I stand by what I have done. For a while now I have been wallowing around in the darkness and my personal perceived failures, indecisive of what I should do. But then I realised it’s the unknown we fear when we look upon failure and darkness, nothing more, and that happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. I know my light, and I am now reaching towards it. Unfortunately, it is separate from 3dAC.
I have pitched my ideas of a loose gaming community, driven by the members. And this is my goal. It is time to stop dwelling on my dreams and start living them. I will move towards this goal and pave my own path. Personally, I will be completely fine with accepting any and all of you into this venture. Any member is allowed to be in any number of clans or communities, as long as they show up and play with us every once in awhile. It matters not where someone is from, but who they grow to be.
Time is making fools of us again, and I have been writing a far too long of a post. Now 3dAC, let me step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.
Currywurst! Duckpond! Knäckebröd! Muddle!
