I know it has been a while since I officially left Elegance, but due to a busy schedule of work, school, etc. I have not been able to post this until now. I will highlight some of the main points and go from there.

Here are reasons I did NOT leave:
I did not leave because Vezix left.
I did not leave because I thought there was no future for Elegance.
I did not leave because I didn't like the guild any longer.
I did not leave because I am a guild hopper.

Here are some reasons I DID leave:
I didn't want to feel obligated to answering every little thing that came up.
I didn't want to have to work to maintain the guild. Yes I'm lazy and yes my priorities have changed since making the guild.
I wanted to do what I want and when I want without someone trying to tell me I'm not present enough in the guild (I think maybe the one doing this will know who he is.)
I wanted freedom from opression. (Same side note as above.)
I didn't want to run the guild without support.
I no longer wanted to be associated as the Guild Master of Elegance.
I want to be a wall flower within the in game community of Spiral Knights.
I didn't want to feel obligated to be social.

With that being said, I can fully say I did enjoy leading Elegance. I was there for over 7 months. I've never been in a guild that long, either because guilds die or I've been hypnotised to be in a certain guild. We all need friendship, we all need communication. Just because I don't want to feel like I have to do either of these doesn't mean these needs aren't satisfied. I have Mysteryzx. Him and I will stick together until the dawn of time and I am fully confident that nothing will seperate us (unlike the trivial matters that SOME of you choose to come between our friendship). But this doesn't mean I don't have other friends or care about anyone else. This just means that Mystery and I have a true friendship (and romantic relationship as some may know). We will always stick to each other no matter what. None of you others are as great of a friend as he (some of you have proved this already by refusing to talk to me). So Mystery and I will play the game the way we want to when we want to. I'll talk to people when I feel like it, I'll be genuine when I want to. Right now, I could care less about the in game community (in the sense that I don't want to partake in it actively). The forums are a different story. They are a sort of occupation for me when Mystery isn't around. It allows me to stay in touch without having to FEEL like I have to be part of the conversation; I'll chime in on my own will.

As for seeing me in game and talking to me there, I usually log in at least once a day and what I do depends on my mood. Depending on who you are and what you say to me, I may be a jerk in response. Anything negative that comes from me is likely due to some sort of offense I have taken from you recently. That or I'm not having a good day. Forgive my transgressions, for if you ARE on my friends list and I personally haven't removed you, this means I would like to maintain a relationship and I do care. I just like to be ornery (which comes off as being a jerk) and I'm not usually having a good day.

As for the forum community, yes I can be complicated. Yes you may not understand me. Yes you will likely get the wrong impression of me, but I am here to learn as much as I am to have fun. I do like to be vague, it adds some mystery to things (unless you hate me). Generally when I am vague it is because Ihave a neutral stance towards something regards the thread or a certain post.

Beyond that, I never stopped caring about the people. My plans were to join Elegance as a normal member once things calmed down (what happened to Elegance is a story for another day). I still care about everyone who was there even if you hate me for leaving or some other reason or two. I just prefer to have a close friends amd don't want to feel left out or you know... ignored (that may sound hypocritical since I said I'll talk when I want but that certainly doesn't mean I ignore). I troll (sometimes intpereted as acting like a jerk) when I've been offended.

Just... some things exhaust me and so that's why I will maintain the distance I need.

Also, my statement wasn't for the jerks out there. It was for those people who keep asking why I left. I didn't want to go through this wall of text numorous times and I had no where else to put it. Don't like it? Well I guess I can't stop you from being a jerk, so have at it

It's okay, Moonsoon, I've never thought of you as my buddy anyway.
