All right let's get this straight, I am a man and hence I can say "Be a man about it!" If you find this offensive, then tough shit. Go read a bloody politically correct blog. This post is actually about 0.0 life and knowing when it's time to be honest and do the right thing. I reached this point today.See when I made the choice to leave carebear life behind and move into PvP with ZombiNutz I had time. When Top Gear Ventures moved out to 0.0 I was eager and able. I had time to spend on the gates and in the fleets. Learning and doing what I should be doing to be a valuable pilot, the cog in the machine so to speak. I helped move assets with my alts. I trucked out ships, mods , and ammo to 0.0. I trained to fly better tackle and bought interceptors with every intention to use them in 0.0. However real life happened and I found myself with less hours for dedicated focused play. At that point right there I should have pulled my hat from the ring. I did not and chose to stick it out for a month to see if time opened up again. It did not and over time I went from a cog in the machine to become rust. I was there in the ranks but not there when it was my turn to pass the load.
Long story short I was not pulling my weight and living in the premise that someday I would. Well 0.0 does not need part time pilots who fit it in when they can. They need people who can and will fight when needed. My life just does not fit that model these days. So today I manned up and admitted it by turning in my roles to my corporation in 0.0. I moved all my crap back out of 0.0 and said my farewells to 0.0 for now. I all ready feel better than I am not letting people down by not attending CTAs or defending the space.
So if you're out in 0.0 and not really doing much of anything. Do what's right and move out. The people out there need people who want to fight and be part of the machine. If you're not doing either you are just rust and need to be removed.

tough call, excellent choice! Step up and be the man indeed. I wish more pilots had your attitude tbh. Best of luck matey, and GOOD HUNTING.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the time to spend in NULL. So much to do out there and many chances to get into a fight.
ReplyDeleteThis was about doing the right thing for the alliance not me. In NULL that what it's all about. The machine comes first and always should.
I'll miss the people adn the space, but I'll not miss the space. I all ready feel better about the situation.
Now to figure out what I can fit in for ZombiNutz.
Cheers

It's a tough call and every one has their own level of tolerance, but speaking as one who has made that call himself, it is the right one. Things change and time moves on, you made the right decision for yourself, your Corp and your Alliance. As always I hope it works out well for you and you find your way back to zero someday.
