Off The Dome: One for the Road

February 5, 2013 in AGLA by priestxyz

 

Here is a placeholder opening paragraph because I really didn’t feel like writing an opening paragraph.  Off The Dome is where I may or may not poop on someone or a group of people because nobody else likes to actually say what they think in public.  I say what comes to mind while trying not to edit at the end so Major Siiva can go through and pick apart what he doesn’t deem readable for the “ammies” like they are twelve year old children or something.

I’ll start off by saying that I am saddened.  Saddened because I no longer care as much as I used to about a community that I once loved.  There are so many things I want to do for Grifball and I either don’t have the time or just don’t care enough to make the time and I’m saddened by that.  A year ago I would’ve made all the time in the world to do cool articles/interviews and even the podcast even though that started in the summer.  However, now it just doesn’t seem worth the time for reasons that I really can’t explain.

I will however, be on at the drop of a dime if my team ever needs me because I have too much loyalty to those guys.  So much loyalty that when I heard Ice was coming back this season I knew I’d be back with them.  So much loyalty that all I could think about when I sat out the first week of AGLA is that “i’m not roster locked there’s still a chance to go back.”

At this point I’ve hit writers block and am just reflecting on everything that I’ve been through with Grifball and how much I’ve enjoyed almost every second of it.  There’s something to be said for the people in this community even if we all talk shit behind each other’s back.  We are a community.  Not GrifballHub vs. AGLA or NGA or any crap like that.  We are one community, a community of Grifballers.  I’d ask all of you to please never forget that.

What I’m getting to is that I no longer have the drive or time required to perform the duties of the position that I was elected to.  I would hope that it has seemed apparent but I felt a public announcement would help you all out to allow someone else to take over the reigns content wise.  I had a solid plan laid out during Christmas Break and then signups were extended for another week and I got into the swing of school and left Grifball on the backburner.  I joke around to Silva that the extra week of signups killed it for me but it really did.  My team knows that I’m always down to practice/play if I’m available but that’s all that I feel I want to make time for.

I had so many aspirations about going to town on small penis and that never happened.  I was so sad because these guys legitimately think they’re going to win the championship and it’s hilarious.  Your runner pulls one of the laggiest hosts in the history of Grifball and you all of a sudden think you’re gods.  That was seriously one of the funniest weeks I’ve had in Grifball when those guys were on the forums making some of the dumbest statements I’ve ever read.  “We aren’t here to earn respect, we’re here to take it.”  I literally just laughed typing that quote from Apocryphal.  What in the world would make you think that someone would have respect for you by telling them you’re trying to take respect?  That’s like expecting to get money from someone by telling them you’re going to rob them beforehand and have no weapon.

That is all for now…Until next time.
