I felt like this was the time, so I made this

[Stevo. 173]

Welp, you should’ve seen this one coming. For those of you who aren’t able to read or are related to Space Mexicans, I’ll make this short as I’m going to go into a whole bunch of explanations and thanks messages to a lot of people. Still try to read through all of this properly, as I didn’t write out all this shit just for you to not read it plebs.

So yeah, much like a lot of my mates on the server this time last year (and at other points throughout the year) for similar reasons, I’m leaving IG.

 

I’ve had a lot of good times. Made lots of memes, achieved things I never thought I would be able to do in this game. I created a sub-regiment, I rebuilt one of the hardest regiments to build from the ground up, I became a General (something that was thought impossible at the time) and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting/helping/playing with some good people. But, as I kind of referenced to on a certain someone’s goodbye post around 10-12 months ago, it’s my time. Unfortunately everything must come to an end. I’ve got nothing left to prove, nothing left to achieve, and the issues I have around here have become too much.

I haven’t really hid my issues with management around the joint (had to put joint in here somewhere). If you’ve been around long enough and listened to what I’ve said, you’d know what those issues are. The final nail in the coffin for me though was an event that happened recently. Not really going to get into it, as I asked some friends for advice before making this and one of them said, and I quote: “Yeah, na.” You know who you are, keep being a legend. That and me ranting/creating drama isn’t what this post is about, nor is it how I want to go out.

 

That being said, I harbor no hard feelings towards the overall community, those who have helped me in the past and those who have nothing to do with the issues I have. I have a lot of friends here still and outside of the negativity sort of at the start of this post, I would like to leave on somewhat good terms. And you never know, I might come back once things have changed enough. I’ve had the opportunity to be accepted here after some rocky history in the SWRP community, and I won’t forget that any time soon.

Jesus, all that was a little heavy…

 

Now there’s a few people I’d like to thank and I genuinely want to thank them, as I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in on the server and I wouldn’t have had as great of a time as I’ve had without ‘em. I also sort of wouldn’t have a grown a bit as a person without them. Which for me is at least something to get out of a video game.

First I’d like to thank @Whitey. I didn’t exactly (at any point) make your job easy, but I thank you for everything you’ve done around the joint. Most importantly for that chat we had after Hornet was promoted. I know this is going to sound cringey as fuck (but let’s face it, making a big post like this was cringey in the first place over a SWRP server), but that chat meant a lot. So thanks. Make sure you become Tarkin again at least one more time though, because you’re the OG.

 

Next I’d like to thank @Chopz (we’re starting off this list by staff rank for some reason). You made life bearable as 996 commander and the short time you were Grand General was one of the highlights of my time as a General… It made the top twenty . But in all seriousness, my job got a lot easier with you around. You're also a good bloke.

 

Next I’d like to thank Alex and Department. You guys are some of the best troopers I’ve met during my 5 years (almost) of playing this game mode and you guys were there at the hard times, helping me out when needed.

-   @Department you’ve always been a great bloke and a great commanding officer. You were there during the O’Hare times and came out better for it. You are, and have been for some time, the longest serving Stormtrooper. And although you were always a little cold, you’re a good bloke. Good luck with the independent chain of command.

-      @Alex, can’t really say too much without feeling the feels. You’ve been there since the Stormtroopers were treated like garbage, and have been around since… Even when your PC exploded, died, whatever the hell happened over 10,000 times. You might never become a general, but you’re been one hell of a trooper. Don’t forget that. Remember every lesson I taught you, as you’re going to need it moving forward. Trust me on that.

 

After that, I have to thank @Regret. Never have I met someone who picked up the art of commanding to the degree that you did. You made a turbulent time during the life of the ST’s a lot more stable, which allowed me to focus on other regiments. You’re also a top bloke. You may never read this, as I don’t know if you check the forums, but you don’t need any more praise from me.

 

Since I’m still thinking of names (I really should’ve written a list for this, but too late for that) I’d like to thank @Hammer, for being there as the gatekeeper of IHC HQ. You dealt with a lot of crap, heard a lot of my shit, but you never let that affect the job. I hope, for the players of the server, you can become the less controversial, less getting-people-pissed-off version of me. Or at least replace me in terms of the work I managed to do. I wish you all the best.

 

Next I’d like thank @SCHEFF. Just for being one of those people from back in the day, becoming the cornerstone of MHC and just being a general ear to talk to. Although we didn’t start off on the best of terms, you’ve definitely become one of those people I trust. Hope you and the rest of Widow Squad continue to improve Widow Squad and do the things that I couldn’t as commander.

 

(Fuck this is a lot of thank you’s)

 

Next up is @Corvo, @Shader, @Acab, @Devo and @NatiionZ. You guys have sort of rebuilt a regiment, making improvements around the joint as you see problems. I hope you continue this progress, as I might be back someday and I’d like to see how you’ve done. If you let Widow Squad or the ST’s die, I’ll beat up ya nan (that was referred to all of you). Good luck.

 

(Really have to make these quick now)

 

Next is @Jman1308, because Jman is a lad.

 

@Rickle, because Rickle Rick.

 

@Moose for that chat we had, hope you make the Generals great for the first time.

 

@Medusa for helping me become a better commander. I don’t know if she’ll ever get this, but thanks.

 

All involved with my promotion to Major General.

 

All involved with not getting me demoted during the brigade shit.

 

All involved with not getting me demoted period (I’m guessing my recent demotion wasn’t the only time I’ve been up for it).

 

Anyone who I didn’t mention who has either helped me along the way, or helped me without me knowing.

 

All ST’s past and present. That includes Widow Squad by the way . 

 

Now for anyone who isn’t mentioned, or a part of these groups mentioned, who did something for me or we worked together. Thank you. I’m sorry that you weren’t mentioned, but I’ve been playing on this server for almost two years, I forget people all the time.

 

Now as for what’s next? Eh, I don’t even know that. I’ve basically done everything you can in gaming at this point. Might finally finish Undertale? Lol.

But in all seriousness, I plan on going back to making videos (which you can see here: https://goo.gl/5PuYvA). Link might get removed due to advertising rules (I’ve been here for almost two years and still don’t know the rules 100%), so add me on Steam at; Stevo Jenkins if you want a link if it’s not there. Haven’t done a video in a while, looking forward to do them again.

 

To the Stormtroopers and Widow Squad

If you ever need help or you’re in a shit situation with either regiment, call me and I will help. I will always be there to help you if I can, you can always count on that.

 

Finally, that’s pretty much it from me. I don’t have any more to say and, if I do, I’ll say it some people in person. I wish this community all the best moving forward, and I hope everyone has a great Christmas. Make sure you value your time with your family, as there are people out there with none or in a bad situation.

Basically what I’m saying is: go give some money to charity or some shit ya cheapskate. Adopt a child damn it! I don’t care if you’re only twelve years old.

Alright, time to end this one. See ya’s later.

 

Cheers

Brigadier Stevo.

 

[SCHEFF 521]

I've been behind the scenes of this farewell so I don't need to make a big statement for Stevo.

But dude, this is the biggest loss to the community thus far. This is just sad.

Best of luck for everything in the future and keep in contact with us.

It's been a great pleasure being with you Stevo. I know that things between you and I have been rough over the years, but even then you were always someone who was there to talk to, crack jokes with, and be someone to aspire to. 

Your service to the community has been greatly underrated, and I applaud you for doing everything that you have

Gonna miss seeing you on the server.

Good luck with the future.

 

[Department 26]

To the man who encouraged me to come back after O'Hare's reign.

To the myth who created Widow Squad, the elites, the best, the true OGs.

To the legend who got to General as a user.

To the greatest Brigadier the Stormtroopers ever had (sorry Alex).

You are, and always will be, the greatest work associate I have ever had the absolute pleasure and whale of a time to work with.

Lord Ragnarok smiles on you, @Stevo.

Come back soon.

I miss you.

May never have talked to you much Stevo, but never the less, looked up to you greatly as a leader.

[NatiionZ 0]

i love you

[KarlLockJaw 6]

Rest easy and rest well, Stevo. In the comparably short time I knew you, I gained an admiration for the adversity you overcame on the server.

You have my eternal thanks for creating Widow Squad, the only regiment that I feel could revitalise my passion for SWRP. I'm blissfully unaware of how IHC operates and the specifics of the work you did in and out of it, but I'm sure there will be dark times ahead as a result of your departure.

Hope whatever it is you pursue next proves fruitful.

See ya man, didn't talk to you much but you seemed like a good dude, best of luck with the future. Hope to see you around in the future.

[Rickle 464]

See ya Stevo, Good luck in the future mate.

[Wombatiacus 532]

You have been here for the entire time I have and more... You taught me not to minge and you actually taught me how to march in a straight line when I was a ST back in May 2017... I will never forget how much you have done for me no matter how annoying I am, you always put up with me and made me feel awesome about myself and about me leading a regiment (212th). You have always been there to tell many people including me to get up and man the walls or stations to fend off against those pesky Space Mexicans. I will never forget what you did for me and the people in this community. God Speed and keep making reaction videos on your YouTube Channel because they're better than OzzyManReviews . Good luck with your future in devours. - Wombatiacus.

Another great gone.....

Be well Stevo, even if nans aren't being beaten up

[Luigi 148]

You've been an incredible person from my time on IG. See ya Stevo, and Good Luck where the wind takes ya

[Rad_Cop 53]

Stevo you were as rough as they come but i respected you and most of the things you did. 

Despite not having any OOC power you earned your way to the highest rank and spent your time there sticking to what you believed in and doing what you could to help out all the military regiments. 

Good luck with your future and thanks for all you did, we weren't personally close at all but i think you did some good.

(Not that i know all you did being both navy and not that in the know of IHC)

[Hyperion 143]

Epic videos almost as epic as the creator

But gonna suck not seeing you around to ship hearing you ramble on like a old hag but in all seriousness you saw you rewarded me when you saw my hard work as a ST and gave me a chance to join Widow Squad which was a experience and a half and I thank you for that I hope to see you around the ship again some day.

[Delta 492]

Bye Stevo, though we really didn't see eachother much I , like rad cop, looked up to you because despite being really influential you had no ooc power which really made me think one day I could achieve greatness.

But enough about me, best of luck in the future stevo 

Saddened to see you go

[Demonic 211]

Stevo:

One of the first people I ever met back in July of last year, you showed me around the ship, and promptly told me to f*ck off and have fun, you've been the catalyst of this server's regimental development, And I am envious of your commitment to us white trash back in the day.

I enjoyed our time together on this server, watching it (and you) grow to even greater heights, and it pains me to see you move on to different and better things, however the process is natural, and needed for a happy life, so for now, goodbye old friend <3

[[IG] Tackxo 232]

Luv u stevie, we had our good chats in our little ooc zone while telling minges to heck off

[Rivers 231]

Best of luck for the future Stevo, you were one of those blokes that was instantly recognisable on the server and it’ll be strange not having you around anymore.
