*****************STATEMENT FROM iBEN**********************
Herro there PTP community,
There is a time that you will not be able to continue and need to hang up the gloves and move on, no one does something forever. Unfortunately, that day has arrived for me. As everyone knows that I have a huge impact in this community, memories last forever. I have spoken to Jonne and will resign and retire from admin duties and be playing here.
It is been an adventure here playing here, started playing in 2013. Trying something new, I was more a community person. I didn’t like the other servers at the time. This community was basically the right one for me, it was hard playing in Australia because of delay time. I became a level three, six months after I started playing. Which was unexpected for me to be given an honour by the community. It was hard trying to remember all commands from level two and three after been level one for six months. After reaching level four, I was basically the most active admin back then. A lot of people relied on me to help them out and to clean up. I ran community gatherings and events which was fun and great. Even though I was in a clan, I treated everyone equal. I do not care if you hated me or not, I will always treat people equally. Some people say I am a reincarnation of the old admin RubberDuck. I am sure and confident someone new will enter this community and become a reincarnation of me. Also, if you're going to create a clan in my honour, I give you permission to do it. Like Icebreaker and Khali did with RubberDuck.
My plans are very busy and no, I am not going emo. Did you know that I dropped out of university? Oh yes, I did. I do have plans to come back to it however, there are other things I want to do in my life. First is parkour, I have done two massive workshops for Westfield, the giant shopping centre company. Got paid tones just for doing parkour in a shopping centre. No, I did not jump over the food court tables, we had our stuff in the centre and they spent thirty thousand dollars AUD for a wall for us. Also, the issue in the parkour community here in Australia and around the world, fucking FreeG and gymnastics. My work has increased, I have started a diploma for the moment that will help me credited back into my university studies as a primary/special needs teacher. I am on the computer daily however not playing PTP or playing anything. However, I will be on irc hanging out from time to time. If there is a hacker in game, please do not go spamming to me. If you do, well guess what? I’m retired lol.
I first would like to thank Fimpen for nominating me to be admin back in the old days of Tenshi’s rain of power. I also would like to thank Tee_Hee, Matt, Great_Khali for supporting me and making playing more enjoyable. I would like to thank all those people for supporting me and looking up to me, I can’t name everyone because you will be here for a while reading this. I know that I am the most respected person in this community and I know it will be sad for me to leave. However no, I am not the most respected person here. That should go to Jonne, I mean guys common, get with the program. This guy saved our community and he should be getting the title of the most respected person on PTP. I would like to thank Jonne for the love and everything he has done for me and for everyone. Just to let everyone know, Jonne was a little sad that I was leaving. So please look after each other and please, look after Jonne as well for me while I’m gone.
I have also informed my clan first that I will be resigning as their leader. As I said earlier, I am also resigning as an admin here. As I said to Jonne and my clan, I do believe it is time for new generation and new talent to enter to the team. I do have confidence that Jonne and whoever still running RD will be fine and grow stronger. I will be happy that I would be leaving a legacy here, memories last forever. I am also happy that as a community, we did some dumb things here but had fun. It doesn’t hurt to think outside the box for a moment. As one more thing, can someone run my bus club for me or should I like should dismantle it?
So, don’t get depressed that I would be around in game, I will be on irc and check on forum time to time so yea don’t get depressed please? I wish everyone here good luck and best wishes ahead and please, look after each other.
Kind regards
[RD]iBen
