Banned deucer.
I really wish I'd kept a catalog of users to tag for when this day came ...
So let's just keep it short!
I'm leaving Smogon. It's been an absolute amazing journey over the years. You guys have been more than just fellow usernames on the Internet. You've become friends and I thank you for spending time with me here and on PS.
I'm leaving for personal reasons. Some of you know why. For the curious majority left in the dark, I have a goal to be a published writer. Right now I'm not working hard or fast enough to reach that goal. As much as I love Smogon and PS, it's time for me to let them both go and move on.
Below is a list of some of the friends I've made on this site since registering seven years ago. I'm sorry (like, really really sorry) if you're not listed here and considered us friends (particularly a bunch of alum'd users and the Monotype community). It's not personal. I'm tired. I've spent the last two hours compiling it but I just can't cover everyone. Also, this is the first time I've done shout outs! Long time coming, eh?
For the OM community wondering about my replacement, I've made arrangements so just be patient while it goes through the proper channels. I'm sure you'll be hearing about it soon enough.
The list is alphabetical so y'all don't get jealous.

Aragorn the King I know I don't look old, but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart... I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don't expect I shall return.
Arcticblast The original mentor. I probably annoyed the shit out of you when I was still a nobody in OMs lol. Thanks for looking out for me where it counts. You got me my frist badge. What were you thinking?
Arhops / goku OKay, man . You win!!! I wa sthe on editting your art therd's titles!! You winnN!N! D:

innovamania Some day you'll understand why I made this decision. Until then, keep your sister alive and don't let Timmy run his mouth at school. If he starts thinking he's the shit just remind him your dad's a five-time felon with a knack for springing out of locked cells and a photographic memory of every gun store within 20 miles of his house.

@OM Community You've been my rock. I'm sorry I missed most of you. I had a lot of fun leading the community. I hope you guys had fun, too. You guys are crazy, though. You know that, right? You've created the most ridiculous, insane, infuriating, and genius metagames, and everything else in between. You guys put in countless hours for concepts that will never leave the ground. You drill away on ladders that get mocked by the rest of the Pokemon community. And I hope you never stop doing it. Stay creative. Keep taking risks. Discover that next big hit. I hope when I come back to check in on things you're still going strong. And most importantly, have fun!

@PS staff I wish I had personalized messages for all of you. You guys are a great group of people and I'm so fortunate to have been able to spend these last 2 years hanging out with you all. I know a lot of what you do is misunderstood or misconstrued, but the vast majority of people who use PS wouldn't have nearly the amount of enjoyment they have if it wasn't for you. Try to remember that.

The Dutch Plumberjack Thanks for the edits!
The Immortal Where to fucking begin? Firstly, I couldn't have done it without you. Your expertise on PS was what propelled OMs into the community it is now and you don't get enough credit for that. There are valid reasons why people have struggled to accept you, but a lot of it just comes down to communication. You care sincerely about the things you work on and I wish others could recognize that. I challenge you to be more open with others. Let them see that there's more to you than a bad mistake you made a year ago and work on delivering your opinions so they listen to them rather than your tone. Best of luck with OMs! I know you and the next co-leader will do great.
