Hey guys,

I can't count the amount of times I've been looking for a collaborative way to create conflict in the Five Syndicates and curb the rise of my own sub-faction the Zaa Fenn Crime Family.

This weekend I returned to the forum after a short break to find some of that conflict brewing, which is great. Unfortuntely I quickly got messages that people were trying to sideline me and using players with long inactive characters or characters that had maybe one affiliated thread with my faction to stage a quick hostile takeover. Something I had to find out myself by accidentally stumbling upon a thread.

I asked around to get the full picture and quickly realized I wasn't just sidelined, but didn't have an OOC chance to remain with anything resembling the faction I built over the course of almost two IRL years.

Then I got an official warning for aggressive behavior. While here I was feeling more like I was getting bullied out of a faction I created and have been the only truly solid member of.

The only conclusion I can draw out of this is that while my content is apparently wanted, I am not anymore. I've had a spotty activity this year due to other members trying to push stories on me I didn't want to write and this absurd refusal to not collab with me on my own faction and then reporting me for calling it out. It's the final straw.

My apologies to @Tulos @Taz @Zay @Versok @Nor'baal @Arcangel and others I was just about to actively thread with (again). It's nothing personal and I hope y'all continue to find in SWRP the release it has been for me for half a decade.

Sincerely,

Eccles

I of course have no place to get into any of what you wrote so won't but, as it goes, sorry to see you go.

Our dealings were limited but I loved them when they happened, from shooting the shingles on Discord to Ranger shindigs and Preef Callo shenanigans (okay, I admit, I didn't get the chance to roleplay with Preef but boy I wanted to!).

So just please take this message as my own personal acknowledgment of yours and genuinely wishing you the best, whether that's on this site or elsewhere.

I don't think I speak alone when I say you have been as vital as anyone else helping to sustain a roleplaying community by, well, roleplaying. Complexities and complications aside, that's the best we can give, and from what I experienced and observed, well, you definitely gave. 🙂

lol since this is unsubtly throwing shade at my characters in a thread, will offer some clarification for anyone who is interested.

Here is the thread in question, being DM'd by me. When I started writing my first post for the thread, there were six rangers and no opposition. Given that, I decided to step up and DM for it, after running some ideas by the active Syndicates players. We're two pages in and just getting started with the story I have planned for this thread. Far from being a 'quick hostile takeover,' I hope that this thread will incite more activity in both Zaa Fenn and Sector Rangers. Just as the thread that incited this, the attack on Mon Calamari (another thread that I Dm'd), helped build up to this one. You'll notice I took the exact same approach to both threads, in terms of when I use player characters and when I use the Storyteller to write.

I'll note, I was never messaged for this supposed 'clarity' although its my characters and DMing in question. In the future, should you return Eccles or should anyone else have confusion about my writing that they want to sort out, I am always open for questions.
