june's jank farewell thread

welcome to june's jank farewell thread to a smol mushroom server

i told myself i wouldn't be cheesy but i didn't want to leave without getting this shit off my chest and thanking those who supported me (both on the front lines of those two threads and behind the scenes).

for those of which want to hear about my staff experience

Spoiler

i applied for staff in early 2020 because i thought it'd be a fun way to liven up my royals experience. i bossed often, party quested often, and spent all my money on RP. my application was accepted in late sept 2020, and from there i had a blast meeting new players and painfully learning a lot of intrapersonal skills. i have always been incredibly passionate in my opinions, and those who talked to me on a casual basis knew i wasn't having the best time communicating my ideas. i stayed because i admired 3 people in staff- johnny, joong, and timk, and i loved answering reports and banning hackers. i took my job very seriously and actively tried to interact with players via GM events and later on ch1-3 pierre (since i couldn't host my own events). these were some of the best times i had as GM, and i enjoyed meeting new players that shared with me all their big dreams and concerns with the server. i loved popping into peoples' weddings (whether they liked it or not... i'm not sure. woops) to say congrats.

i knew i fucked up when i accused two people of cheating with white lady. i tried my best to reflect, and went to the few people i admired on staff still to get some feedback on how to improve (joong and timk). i also asked evan, who had experience being singled out, how to better voice concerns without hurting feelings. at this time, i focused my physical efforts on answering reports and talking to new players on their royals experience. i've worked on some skills, though i won't say that i've mastered how to treat people with differing opinions, how to back aggression, or how to be patient. i thank all the staff members and normal players that shaped my royals experience, and i'll always remember the shenanigans we had and how we all wanted better for the server.

my breaking point

Spoiler

my heart broke when i awoke and noticed the staff chat blowing up over a ban i've made. and the worst part was that it was from someone i admired so deeply. i felt so alone during that conversation, and i knew i couldn't handle being on staff anymore over this dispute. my concerns were reduced because i was an emotional woman who didn't get the result or answers she wanted, and also because i had only been on staff for 2.5 months at this point.

staff really does try, but my own expectations destroyed my ability to communicate in ways that suited others. i felt alone in almost every disagreement i had. i know this sounds like a huge ol sob story, but i knew i had to be true to myself and that's when i broke and went on that wild ass rant with the blue text.

basically all the friends i made generally play afk story now but we said our good byes during that ch4 fm sit in protest
shoutout to everyone who owns GM items tagged by a whistleblower
remember to always stand up for what you believe in. never rush into a decision that doesn't feel right. it's okay to talk it out, and it's okay to make a scene if no one is listening.
it doesn't matter the way you blew the whistle. the fact that you witnessed an injustice and you stood up for what's right is still valid.

in the end, we're all in this little mushroom game, but these are still real people we're talking to. call friends out on their bullshit and always be true to yourself.
true transformation is painful. if you choose to continue playing this mushroom server, be patient but don't forget.

as a player always remember to:
- treat others with respect; don't invalidate their experience
- voice all concerns in feedback
- believe you can initiate change, whether its for yourself or others
- keep in mind good people can do bad things, even if they didn't intend to
- don't steal apples or afk during apq
- take that pet loot shit off during boss runs
- return perfect dragon revolvers you pick up in happyville
- fucking put your pet away or that dumb ass giant cat cape when you're in an event
- use servertime whenever you report anything lol

thank you to everyone who defended me in those posts. thank you to everyone who challenged me and gave me a chance to elaborate on my thoughts. thank you to the memes and giofyc for keeping shit spicy.

I don’t think we’ve met in-game but I respect how strong you’ve been

thank you for standing up for the community

 

Bye Dayna, you were my favourite russian roulette co-host and a great friend

 

I will never forget your b2b2b2b bday ht. Tons of fun despite one run being a fail and the other 3 being dry af. It's always fun talking with you even though I don't think I usually have much to say. One day I'll get around to finishing that ace attorney case lmfao. Much love : )

 

Thank you Dayna for always taking the time to answer all my questions after events. Also, thank you for always giving me motivation to do better.

You may be gone but not forgotten.

 

Thank you Gune/Dana for actively being a crackhead in vc, keeps me sane c:

Even tho I was afk-story 24/7, it was always fun running bosses, doing quests, or just chatting away on vc/royals!

#SimpforGune & #JuneCantJump forever in our hearts

Pray 1.17 comes out soon..

Stay classy friend <3

 

Goodbye June! Thank you for taking a stance and warning the community.

It's been a blast hope our paths cross one day
Thanks for clearing those vacced mobs for me on my bloodwashed SE's 2nd job advancement

 

10.12.2020 is the darkest day in mapleroyals' history. Unfortunately, justice isn't done nor is it seen to be done here. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Last but not least, I end this with one of Elie Wiesel's famous quotes “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.”

 

No one ever quits maple. You just take an extended break.

 

Why is it always the good ones that fall
Wish you the best wherever you go, Even though I never got to talk to you personally I feel like I know enough to say you are an amazing person.
Hopefully you keep staying true to yourself , Your feelings have gotten through.
Take Care June!

 

Goodbye Kamek Maybe we might bump into each other in another server.

 

Sending you love and light! <3

 

Yeu June
