A few of you may have noticed the miniature power struggle between me and Tort - whereby he wants to be in charge, I want to just let it all flow...
Well no longer. In order to preserve my IRL friendship and respect for him, I am quitting this place. I have not taken this decision lightly, when you consider just how much of this forum has my touch over it - I made it to my vision. My ideals.
I cannot delete my account however - to do that would remove this forum. And I believe that if a forum means that much to someone, I won't get in the way. Internet, serious business - right?
From now on, Tort is your 1st Squad Captain. As soon as I can figure out how... I'll just be an average joe on the rare occasions I log in to see what's become of this place.
If you wish to speak to me and try to change my mind, you'll find me on SB. Not here. Because my ideals have been shattered, and I am not risking a friendship over it.
Edit: it is done. The Tortured Soul is now 1st Squad Captain, and I am now 5th Seat. I wish you all lots of fun with a new captain at the helm.

Well I've seen this played out before (so has Fitz) and I'm not letting this ruin this forum. Tort, I have no idea how you will react but I hope you'll take the position that has been given to you. I also hope you guys real world friendship won't be affected by this, you two seem to be closer than I am to my brother. This goes out to everyone, don't leave. I've seen two forums die and another one I'm on almost did a few days ago all because of disagreements. If Tort and MoD can't work this out and they both leave then I'm taking control, and as of now I would like full control over the Main RP. Of course this is Tort's choice as he's the head captain now, but I think the whole problem was to much division of power.
I hope MoD will change his mind, but I'm prepared for the worst.

Indeed, Lunar... And what I said there applies here, mostly.
MoD: I don't think you're making the right choice leaving entirely, but that's just my opinion. Nobody can stop you if you've made up your mind on the matter, but you know what? People's minds change over time.
Whatever happens, we'll do what we can to keep this place together.

Lunar does indeed have full control over the RP area.
Fitz: this happened once before on another forum we were co-admin on. That time I just deleted the place to preserve our friendship. This time, I'm taking a massive back seat so that my good friend can continue to enjoy his life. In short, the Torthammer won.
And with that, I'm logging out. Thank you all for a wonderful time. If I ever come back, it'll be long in the future. And Tort of all people knows I have nothing but time to play with.

.... Well. isn't that just peachy. I would have never thought as MoD as the give up type. then again, I have no reason to talk since I do not fully understand this situation nor do I want to or need to. but Tort, you better know what your doing in this forum and not let this die. no matter what happens!(that includes robots taking over the world...*shot!*) anyways, I haven't been on here much as well, though I'd poke my head in once in a while. So, good luck to all and to you Tort. as for MoD... You still got good old SB.

Damn... I didn't even know you two had so much tension between each other. I'm sorry a compromise didn't work out. But at least you're being mature and thoughtful about it and trying to keep your friendship together.
Wish you the best, MoD. And that you and Tort don't lose your friendship over this.

Me and MoD are still friends, I think he may have acted a bit rashly, but I understand why he did what he did.
I'd like to point out what he said about a power struggle isn't true, I never wanted to be in charge of the forum. I never wanted complete control over this place. I was happy to be second to MoD and wish it could still be that way.
But I'm not going to let this place die! I'm not going to run from the responsibility that has been thrust upon me! Bleached Horizons will continue on and I will do my best not to let you guys down! I'd love for MoD to take back his place as 1st Squad Captain of Bleached Horizons, and will happily step down should he decide to do so, but untill that time I will do my what I can to keep this place alive and moving forward!
DestinyShiva edit: Locked the topic, as it's the end of the discussion. I won't delete it, unless instructed by Tort himself of course.
