Personal statement by _DISTRACTION_ January 25, 2018 at 6:01 AM UTC

Hi. I'm Al.

(That's why my alt's name is Ale.)

OCN was better than Avicus. But this was the next best thing, so I ended up here in 2016.

It's been a crazy year and a half. I have said and done many stupid things, but people have been strangely forgiving. Even looking back at things I did in early 2017 makes me cringe. (Don't give yourself too much credit  Junr; you're still not cool.) Thanks for looking past the dumb things I did, and letting me play an at least somewhat important part in this server.

For several months, I made all the rotations on this server. A lot of people roasted me for them, which is fair since it's all just personal opinion. I also made a couple of maps. I don't think any of them were particularly popular, but knowing that at least a few people liked Green's Farms gives me the tiniest bit of joy. I'd like to thank the awesome people who have helped me so much on building maps. Mainly  Fouled, EDJM9, KojaCola, Riilo, and Skquid, although  Zintenka and  ProfessorUtonium deserve honorable mentions.

To the mapdevs I've had the honor of leading, you have all been great. Thank you so much for sticking with me and being one of the best staff teams on the server. Give the builders a round of applause as well; they have done much more for the server than they are given credit for.

I must also sincerely thank a few other people.  Crazy_ and  JDKL, thanks for putting up with the ridiculous things I did and giving me more chances. 

shadowolfyt, you have been an awesome friend. I wish you the best of luck in life and on twitch.

ViceTechnicolour, you always got more hate than you deserved. You have been a great guy to talk to, even at 3 o'clock in the morning when the only thing worth talking about is pretty depressing.

ProddyyUwU, thank you a ton for all that you did for the mapdev team. You gave 110% in terms of effort, and really did a ton of things that players might not always realize.

Clijmart I wrote this entire thing up and was about to post it, when I realized that I forgot you! Silly me. You've been great, both with maps and personality. I hope you've enjoyed the thinkfish emoji in Discord.

profbananaslug, I'll miss looking back at your appeals for some "interesting" music. I guess you're an ultimate memer, but by this point everything you say is such a meme that you transcend yourself.

dev_revs is the final person I'm going to tag. Our relationship has always been kinda weird. Sometimes you're fine with me in public and roast me in private chats, and other times you publicly complained about everything I did, while secretly feeling sorry for me. You're an alright guy, but sometimes have questionable ideas that you don't like people questioning. From what I've seen on Kord's server, you're a good admin. I wish you luck with the server, and hope that in some months I can return to a thriving community of Avicus players.

If I didn't tag you, either I forgot you, don't particularly like you, or simply have nothing to say to you. Feel free to PM me on Discord if I didn't tag you but you still want me to give you a personal statement.

Take care.

Thanks for helping me out a lot with XML and accepting me as a builder. <3

Myv January 25, 2018 at 8:01 AM UTC

Is this a leaving post? If so, we never really talked but you always seemed a good person and helped the server a lot. Pce.

Clijmart January 25, 2018 at 11:01 AM UTC

<3 Will always remember you <3

I don’t have to give myself too much since I already have a lot.

Acceqted January 25, 2018 at 5:01 PM UTC

i still dont forgive you for breaking my bridge

Skquid January 25, 2018 at 6:01 PM UTC

Oh I’ve been recognized
No but seriously though we gotta do more maps
Like, the TDFW one you mentioned
MYOB might’ve been controversial but it was unique 
I’d love to do a sequel I guess, fixing whatever problems which were in the first one
Yeah but actually though even though I’ve made a map that was designed and built by me, with some help from others, I always prefer helping other people’s big ideas
So if you ever need any help with anything let me know
This goes out to anyone else looking to make a map as well

Thanks Distraction,
It's been a great pleasure getting to know you over the past while.
I wish you the best man, feel free to pop in my Discord at any time or dm me if you want to talk.
