My Resignation

[Bacta]

Watch the video, its a fantastic song, 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7wr2FBxcyI
 

I tried to write this message like 15 times and every time i  just close the google doc in annoyance cause its so hard for me actually to write this out

 

I joined synergy at the worst time, officially, i joined at the tail end of Joah leaving, the server was depressing, everything was stagnant and the player base was at an all-time low, but in that low, i meet some of the best people in my time on GMOD, people like Pog,Finn, Mason, Leche,Katy,Naz I remember just running around with 212th talking to some Russian guy about how Russia has the new vaccine (we never saw him again legit scared for that MF), being competitive, and trying to get 212th to be the best battalion as that was my battalion, being proud of having that gold on me.

 

My going-up arc was so fun, i remember FYI telling me you would make a good staff member, Gears telling me I could make a good HA, and Bro telling me that you most likely going to be Cody cause of the gearshift curse. Met all the new people and talking shop about SWRP, learned about the systems of ARC, Staff, tried to figure out who the higher-ups were, and was a bit timid when the new founders were so active during our channels.  This was around the time the server boomed again, meeting newer generation people like Mavelle, Spieler, Caidoon.

 

I put almost 125% of my shit into this server, at every turn at every drama and course, I wanted to see Synergy be #1, to be dominant, and to be king. I fought with everything i had and burned bridges cause of it. I look around and realize was it worth it? I got kicked to the curve when demoted from HA for a day, I got denied from ATK REG, denied from the director twice, but i still wanted to see the server boom, every day at any moment of time. It was addicting to see the numbers shoot up.

 

I think the tipping point was realizing when was the last time i was hyped to do an event, hyped to rush in head first with a project and find enjoyment. Do I have more fun just chilling playing pulsar or playing GMOD? I always vowed to not be an inactive high staff member and that promise is coming true.  Im so scared to resign cause i keep thinking im gonna get that addiction again, but why wait when i can just resign.

 

I'm so grateful for almost every person in synergy, that laughed at my shitty jokes, that gave me a chance if that even prayed on my downfall to make sure my ego was on check! But its over, there isn't much for me to do anymore on the server, I feel complete and content of what i did and achieved, I want to move on and thrive, go to San Fran, focus on college, get away from this addiction.

 

[Mavelle]

I love you.

Fuck.

I'll see you around. Can't type what I'm thinking. But 

Hope you  come back one day. Soon.

[ToasterBath]

Good luck on superior servers

[A-a-ron]

God bless

[Hanz]

Glad you are free. Turn your motivation to something useful for your self. Hope you get into school in San Fran or ASU. Ik you will do great. I will also miss all of our goofy and wacky convos that sometimes get serious. Hope you stick around in TS! 

[Dono]

What an actual L for the community. We went through thick and thin all the time in the GM team and I dont regret any of it. God bless and good luck at San Fran

Sad to see you go @Mazen. I'll miss you, good luck in San Fran and in life, hope everything works out for you. 

[Comics]

resigning to play omori, what has Mazen "bacta" Zwin come to

[Lyonaxis]

I don't think i'd be able to do anything I've done so far if it wasn't for you.. Make sure to come on every now and then. 

[Daytona211]

Sad to see you resign Mazen but we will keep in touch. (I know you can't be away from the TS for more than a day)

[Deku]

Damn, wtf. Actually sad to see you go, even though we dick around and act like we hate each other all the time. Best of luck man, don’t be a stranger.

Let me know when you finally get laid, I’ll buy you McDonald’s or some shit

[Maddoxx]

thanks for all the work you put in. 

[Conrad]

Man i heard they where gonna make you the next director. Real L.

See you in a couple months I hope. I don't think you'll be gone forever, you like us all too much, and we like you too.

[jacobfyfe]

Well it happened and its good that you are doing it to progress yourself in life. but surely you will be back it always pulls us back but hey if it doesn't your one of the few who escaped.

[Bleach]

Is this because of the Among Us Pets?!?

[Naffen]

Sad to see you go but I'm happy for you that you're moving on, see you in TS 

[Stockings]

Bacta, 

As jokingly rude as I am with you, understand that you are a great fella.  Enjoy joking with you often, I hope whatever you got going on suits you well. However, whatever you do, DO NOT CALL San Francisco San Fran.  The locals there will absolutely hate you for that.  Catch you on the flip

-Stockings

[Guac]

Actually crazy. I still remember logging on everyday to see that little shithead "212th MED SSG Bacta" ask me for engineering training. You gave so much to this community, between your time and the joy you spread. I hope you look back on only the fondest of memories.

Thanks for being here

[Marvel]

Sucks to see you go. You honestly made high staff enjoyable for me again. Stick around TS so I can keep increasing the Keep Yourself Self counter.

o7 there goes the dream of us being the best director duo so very sad

[Luther]

wait wtf man, you said you were gonna outlast all of us o7

[Whisper]

lol rip bozo, welcome to the other side.

[BlueBeetle]

WHAT THE FUCK MAZEN!

o7 but I’m gonna be mad at you for a while.

[Cox]

Man imma miss you ong even tho we ain’t agree all the time you were fun to talk to, but you don’t gotta lie the only reason you resigning is because among us pets is gonna get denied 

[Forseen]

Thank you for all the hard work you've put into this community to make it into what it is. We wouldn't be where we are today without your influence, hard work and dedication.

It's very unfortunate that you didn't stick around to get that shiny Director tag as I feel that through all the lessons you've learnt over the time you've spent here and the times you were passed up, you would have been the best of us all.

I wish you the best of luck in all of your future endeavors and I hope you keep in touch. The community won't be the same without your influence.

[Mystic]

Jokes aside, it was always a pleasure working with you. You were the person who got me into this server when you pulled me into 212th in 2021. I thank you for that. I wish you the best with what you may do in your future

[Finn]

Gonna be honest, I didn't see this one coming.

 

You've always been my ride or die, from the first time we talked (and you questioned me about the entire history of the 212th), to being your XO and seeing the absolute best battalion the server's ever seen, til now, working with you in High Command. I don't think people understand what a driving force you are to the community, how big of a loss this is for us. Even at it's worst, you were trying to make the situation better. 

I hope you'll stay in contact, because it's always a blast to hang with you, and I hope you find something to be this passionate about in the future.

 

 

This is a bleak day for Synergy Servers LLC.

[Piff]

You'll be back, they always return

[Bbstine]

This actually has to be one of the greatest losses this community has seen. Your sheer influence on all of us has been nothing short of a blessing. Your work and dedication will be what people think of you when you’re gone and buddy, you did great. 
o7 and good luck in college buddy!

[GregRocks]

We're gonna miss you, man. o7

It was a true pleasure working with you. 

[ThorpyVEVO]

o7 bro, despite out fights ill miss you.

Edited August 24, 2022 by ThorpyVEVO

[ThorpyVEVO]

whos gonna run the synergy tik tok account now??? HOW DO I APPLY?

[Xaze]

[Prophet]

It's been a blast and a pleasure having you with us at the Two-One-Two Battalion. Even more so when you were on staff and producing a lot of amazing events. Good luck in your future endeavours, and take care of yourself moving onward. 

o7, Bacta 

[Clutch]

We both played for quite some time and never really talked other than us joking around of staff stuff, sad to see another community member go hope to see you back one day.

[Xylops]

FUCK 

Edited August 25, 2022 by Xylops
Apologies too much swearing

[Eclipse]

you were definitely not the WORST guy I ever met

 

Love you

[Ratio]

Lots to unpack here, experiencing mixed emotions that took me like a day to really consider.

Was talking to a friend about this, and honestly I'm inclined to agree that you were definitely a net positive for the community. The fact that people are missing you already says a lot and I can see why they will. For me, you had your insufferable moments and I certainly disagreed with many of your outlooks. But damn, I'd be an idiot to say that you didn't have the passion and personality that a lot of people on this stupid game just don't have anymore. Looking back, our disagreements never became uncivil, and you managed to keep a cool head up for the longest time. I'll be honest man, I really do envy the patience.

I genuinely dislike maybe 1 or 2 people here (the rest just kind of annoy me at best), and you skated along the line a few times but always managed to bounce back for me. You're a good dude, Bacta and hella funny too. Still have memories of your time as Count Dooku and I'll say that I meant everything I said about that. I genuinely became excited every time I saw that "/advert Republic dogs..." Good shit.

Legitimate loss to Synergy, although I know people don't tend to stay away forever.. still gonna suck for the time you're not here! Nice knowing you, my BAF (Best Acquaintance Forever).

This is the same reason I left, it felt less like a game and more like a job, a job I didn't want to do anymore. You sometimes have to get out of Synergy and see the options you have. 

 

I hope you enjoy your semi retirement or even full.

We may gave butted heads but I still respect you for who you were.

Good analysis! Really made me reconsider my thoughts on the subject!

[Brooklyn]

Bacta I'm going to compliment you. I'm ACTUALLY SCARED what is gonna happen without you here. However, because of your sacrifice I will do what you thought I could. Be a VA.

Anyways, farewell Bacta! The Meth Lab will flourish with you dedicating more time to it.

[Whataburger]
