i am retire goodbye all


 Share

Recommended Posts

The title is a world-famous-among-Helpers quote by Destrod, a former Reporter. Please do not change it, Forum Mods ?

 

Uhh yes, I am retiring from all of my Helper positions in the next 2-3 days (maybe sooner, idk). I really need to start focusing on my education now and I won't be able to manage both real and virtual lives...

Not many know this, but I was rejected for Assistant back in December 2020 when I had first tried to become a Helper, and then I applied for Newspaper Reporter. Since then, I've worked in two more positions, Social Media Helper and Wiki Content Writer. 

My Newspaper career was short, but it was fun while it lasted. Newspaper Reporter is one of the best positions to have ever existed, at least for me, and I am very glad that I could be a part of the Newspaper team!

Wiki Content Writing was less writing, more multing, but I still enjoyed the experience of working behind the scenes on the Wiki. It was getting quite lonely in the Content Writing department until CREATOR77 showed up, and this past month was very fruitful because of Creator's activity. He also passed his candidacy today, by the way! 'Gratz!

My SM career... full of ups and downs, but still very fun. Warning/muting/banning players on Discord does lead to bad blood between moderators and the punished (players)... but that's normal. I'm still grateful to everyone who fought with me, argued with me, insulted me, ridiculed me, and even loathed me — you helped me understand different perspectives better and made me a better human being! Just interacting with you all on Discord changed me from within, expanded my world view, made me question some of my core beliefs, and so much more! All of this helped me to simply become a better human being, and so I'm grateful.

I would also like to apologize if I hurt you — those punishments were nothing personal. I've even had to punish good friends of mine because that's just how life works. I'm not sorry for punishing you, but I'm definitely sorry if I hurt you in any way. 

If you are someone who liked me, appreciated my work, gave me constructive feedback, and supported me, then thank you! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! It is never easy to do something if everyone is against it — but if there's even one person who thinks you're doing the right thing, it's enough to keep you going, and I'm no exception to this. Thank you for being such amazing people!

I will probably leave the game and the Forum too when my college starts on 14th February, but you can still contact me on Discord. My display nickname in the TO server will always have either "Venerable" or "Photo", and my Discord tag will always be "Photophosphorylation". It has been a wonderful year as a Helper, and a little more than a year as a community member (I joined the Forum quite late :p ). I'm just so happy that I could be here in this community! 

Alas, life rudely reminded me that it exists, and all went haywire lol. Leaving won't change my life much... I will still be a procrastinator, and I will still struggle with assignments and stuff — but at least I won't have to worry about extra things that don't concern my education much!

I won't thank anyone in particular, as such actions can often hurt those who don't get mentioned... So just know that I am grateful to you all for simply being there! Whether we've been friends or enemies, I think both parties gained a little something from our interactions, and that's what matters!

 

Off I go back into the world,

Leaving this wonderful place

My life's sail is now unfurled,

And my life is gaining pace.

 

I take your leave and say goodbye

But don't feel bad and please don't cry

Just laugh and rejoice, perhaps

I'm not dead yet — not gonna lie...

 

I'm grateful, my friends, to all of you

Thank you, thank you, I bid you adieu!

I'm now moving on and so must you!

No, I won't be back in a week or two. >:(

 

Much thanks, much love, much good wishes! Bye bye! ?

It's been an absolute privilege to have you aboard and a part of our journey. I've met a mere handful of people in my life that were as hardworking as you are, with an unyielding attitude to not just have an exemplary work ethic - but to maintain it throughout your time there as well.

Although it's certainly melancholic seeing you leave, I'm comforted by the fact that it's for your own progress and well-being. I wish you the absolute best in your real-life endeavors, and I hope you know your legacy with us leaves nothing but genuine respect and appreciation for all the phenomenal and inspiring work you did. Love you bro.

I don't think I have ever told you but you are one of my favorite helpers. Always polite, positive and funny. It really hurts to see you go. I still remember having a chat with you before you joined helpers, when you told me you wanted to become one and when you finally joined us, I was truly happy for you!

Good luck on your new path, you're the best! ?

When i first met Vene, honestly i hated his guts. No kidding!!! ?

But as the days went by, i got to know more about him and what a great person he is. His moderation skills in Discord is exemplary and he always keeps his cool even when the chat is filled with toxic people ( i need to learn this skill ?) . As for the Newspaper................ better not say since i never touched Tanki Newspaper ( pls forgive ?)

It will be sad that another fellow countryman will be leaving our community and i hope he will return back to us. 

Good luck Vene/Photo/Shreya (whatever your irl name is) for all your future endeavors and hope we meet again!!! ?

Let me write it again..but the long version this time. I remember for the first time I met you, I asked you some help in a ticket system, I assume you remember too, then you became a reporter, and also a great colleague. Then as a social media helper you helped me many times.. in the ways you did. That is sad to see you leaving, although, I think you should be proud of yourself considering everything you have made, which includes jeopardy and helped me with soooo many website tests. Thanks for everything buddy and I wish you the best, it is sad to see you leaving, but I'm personally glad to know we'll still stay in touch ?. I wish you the best

sir its always great to have something to pull you away from life , for a fun time. always remember the achievements you have completed over the years and look back as it in a positive educational experience to nurturer life from. think as tanki as a stepping tool in life meeting new people and growing from the experience it has given you.

life is too short to hold grudges with others . it's best to take the knowledge and grow from it.

wishing all the best on your future and in life has to offer you, will miss you .. hope to catch up with you in Discord one day for a chat..

Man, it was always great to see you around. Back when we both were AWS writers, to you becoming a reporter, to becoming big discord man, to Wiki Content Writer. No matter what position you had, you always seemed to ace it. Great at writing, great at moderating, and great at multing. You've always had a great personality and many aspects of it I wish I had myself. Good luck in real life!

I still remember the day when you got the reporter candy - as I didn't even expect that you'd apply for the position (just like i didn't expected this message now), I was very suprised - and as happy as I'd have been if i would have got the position! We could saw various fun contest and articles from you. Though I can't say a lot about your SM career, I'm sure you did a good job there too - if I (accidentally) go went to #general, I could always see you chatting there. I'm not the man of long text walls, but I can truly say I'll miss your from the helper team - and I hope you'll be still around at discord. Of course, I'll be  happy if you can manage to come back to the game - but until that - good luck for the university!

I haven't known you long, but without a doubt you were a great person for me, it hurts a little that you're leaving because I couldn't get to know u at all or be good friends with you. I hope you do well in the paths you choose and I will keep good memories of you ? Good bye :sad:

Whenever I saw you chatting in #general or helping in #support I knew everything is in control. You knew what you were doing as a discord moderator, and you were the best. I wish you the best in life, you will be missed (especially in #support :P) ❤️

Words cannot express how much I'll miss you. Thank you for always being a reliable and humble helper and friend - always there to lend a helping hand on short notice or send me a reassuring message when I was blinded by my own limited perspective, not to mention being a fun and amiable person to chat with through the ups and downs. You were always there to help when I needed someone to check work or add a little extra contribution for the paper and you were always willing to learn from others and find something to improve and I have always been impressed by your attitude and outlook. I cannot express how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work with you and learn from you. With your solid morals and values as well as the work ethic you have shown, I am sure you will see success wherever you go. Best of luck in real life!

Thank you so much for such wonderful and heartwarming messages! It does feel good to know that I'll be remembered and respected for what I did as a Helper - but all of that would have never happened if I hadn't received criticism, feedback, and support from you all. <3

I wish we'll meet someday, somewhere in the far future while eating vada pav from a roadside stall. We won't know that we were both once affiliated with the Tanki community. But, maybe, we'll start talking about random things and then reach a point in our conversation which unravels the nexus between us through Tanki.

That is how I wish to meet you one day, irl. :D (Actually, that is how I wish to meet @Iron_Man , @ThiedesNikunj and dragon too).

See you someday, noob from "Smooth Criminals".  I will always regret that we couldn't get you to watch anime, but that's fine.

Ooooh that sounds exciting

I will always regret that I couldn't get y'all to stop watching anime and start binge-watching Baby Shark videos, but we'll get time later, I guess...

I agree wholeheartedly! Thank you very much for the wishes, ma'am! I'd so glad that we could interact with each other, especially during Newspaper contests! 
You've been on Discord all this while?!?! How on earth have we not chatted yet... Join the EN Discord server (discord.gg/tankionline) if you haven't already — hope to chat with you soon!

I'm glad that we could have at least a few conversations, even though I had to use Google Translate in the Spanish (LATAM) general channel of our Discord server, because you seem to be a great person too! Also, you'll be one of the greatest "foams" of all time, one day! ;)

Thanks mate, means a lot! I'll probably still help a little bit in #support, but since I'm no longer a Helper, I won't bother to read all patch notes and announcements thoroughly. ?

Aw now you made me cry ?

Don't expect a text-wall as a reply cuz I'm at a loss for words... Just... Thanks! 

Aight Forumods, if you still close leaving topics nowadays, feel free to do so. If you don't close such topics in the Writers' Corner, then I'd be very grateful if could leave this topic unlocked. Thanks for being amazing!

I may be late, but thank you @Venerable. It was interesting to see a helper seemingly come out of nowhere to grow and become one of the most well recognized people on the Tanki Discord server, (pretty briefly) the Newspaper and on the wiki content writer team, although I must admit, I never played much attention there.

 

You have proven time and time again you were one of the most dedicated helpers, one of the best writers AND one of the best friends I could've asked for. Good luck in real life!

 

I have also quit for the same reason. Wherever you are, I will remember you.

 

Sincerely, Towns

I returned to the Social Media team not too long ago (in January 2023). And I'm leaving the team, again, today. Although Initiate's article is quite inspiring, I don't think I should create another leaving topic. 

Why am I leaving? Life. And college. It's time to move on. I have applied for another Helper position, but I won't get into details. If I get accepted, I might leave that position as well after a month or two, depending on what turns my life takes.

But this time, I am leaving the SM team for good. I have stalled my real life a bit too much in an attempt to prosper in this virtual life, and it's time to prosper in real life now. ?

EDIT: I got accepted into the EN Proofreaders team! It's a relatively less time-consuming and stressful position, so all's good for now. :x

Tankers when they see a goodbye post by @Venerable

https://i.postimg.cc/d0zj6brv/IMG-20240202-024326.jpg

 

i am re-retire goodbye (real) all.

 

I'm not heading out cuz I want to or because something sus happened. Nope. If you think that, I am officially offended. 

Life happens. It happens to happen at the most un-happening times, and it can get pretty frustrating. 

need to leave the Helper project, and the game, for good. Quite literally. I will sorely miss the community, and I hope I'll return to write a piece or two in the Writers' Corner, but nothing beyond that. If you spot me in a random battle, please don't tell anyone. Just say "shoo" in the chat and I'll shower you with blessings.

Enjoy my third/fourth/fifth/etc. leaving post cuz this time it's the final one. That meme above is exactly what it is... a meme. I've used a jocular tone throughout my time here, but this is really happening. I am leaving and don't intend to return as a Helper again. I might occasionally play a battle or two, but that's cuz addiction.

I will sorely miss you all.
