Yep... the title kinda says it all, but I'll elaborate on it.
I've decided to step away from active competition for a while. You can consider it as a semi retirement, I could go either way and make a return or call it a virtual career.
One thing I would like to clarify is that I'm not leaving because of losing to Andrew at Declaration of War. I've lost plenty of matches and if I resume rping in the future I'll probably lose plenty more. I've never considered myself to be that great at rp and there will always be people better than I am.
I do feel that for the last two months as well as for the last month I was active before that, that I haven't been competing up to my own expectations here in ACW. I'm not competing at my best but I don't have anything better to throw out there.
It seems that my decision to turn Logan heel back in July was the kiss of death for him because I haven't been able to win a match since then. Not even cheating to win one... *Sweat drop*
So I figured I'll take my own advice and take a step back from everything here and try to get my bearings. I made a pledge to myself a long time ago that I wouldn't just try to carry on for the sake of carrying on if I hit a big rut like I'm in now... even with Logan as a hit outside of matches.
I told the staff I'd have up closing remarks for Logan during the last Shock Wave before I took him on break, but i didn't get anything put together and put up a final mega heel entry on the CD board for those interested. I hope no one takes offense at the content, it just felt like the right things for him to say.
I have no bad feelings towards anyone here and if anyone is interested, I will keep Logan available for strats and such under some conditions... mainly if anyone wants to come out to visit him in Toronto or do video interviews.
To everyone here, have fun and maybe I'll see you all around again.
