The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

[Edwardo Piet]

I like him too. We all have our moments.

For sure. I haven’t seen him in ages. I had him on Facebook. Not sure if he removed me or just doesn’t post much anymore.

Last contact I had with him was TTA's D&D group.

He got annoyed with people there too at one point... he made up with them and played another game... not sure if he still plays with them or if he eventually ragequit at them again.

I think he was saying they didn't do the rules right or something. I think it was something to do with how some players were doing too little damage to the monsters. I think they corrected it in the end, so it wasn't like he was wrong or anything, he just overreacts emotionally to stuff. Rages a lot. Has a bit of a temper, as you can imagine.

His temperament reminds me of Kyu... who whilst he never threatened physical violence (and I think never would have), Kyu was raging all the time. He was the second person to be made a mod after me, I think. Or maybe third. It was me, Kyu and Ace Otana, at first, I think. And Rhizo shortly afterwards, I think (not including the admins, of course).

Anyways. Kyu let his feelings get to his decisions too much so staff had to vote to demod him. This was really really early days, before your time, back in 2009 near the beginning of AF. It's a shame because he was a great guy when he wasn't raging over stuff. He never came back after he was demodded. He took it really personally despite the whole staff, including me, saying that it wasn't personal and it was only about him not being suited to being a mod. He said he felt like he was 'fired' which is a 'huge slap in the face'. It's a shame because he was one of my first friends on AF (I was very young. 19 at the time).

He particularly wasn't fond of fr0d0. But when I was honest with him and told him afterwards that I was one of the ones who voted against him and that it wasn't personal... he took it really really personally and ended our friendship and said I backstabbed him. Even though I had already told him before the vote happened that being a staff member is completely separate to friendship.

Ever since I've always felt sad when people make the impersonal personal.

Totally before your time. Here's Kyu's leaving post:
