Something cool I found out just as I was editing my OG Challenge for the end of Day 1, I have obtained the “Regular” Title. Thanks everyone for allowing me to be a part of this community and I hope to stay as such.
With all of this being said I do have a confession to make, these past few months hasn’t been my first experience to the game. I had actually played this sometime previously since it’s official launch and had obtained the Regular title previously under the moniker of Kinokan.
After my departure over a year ago at this point I had tried to play the game in secret with some forum people I had made friends with sometime prior but couldn’t keep playing because of my own failings that had occured in the last few months both in game and in real life. When I decided to come back to the game I chose to do so with a fresh start and a new name so I created this account with a name of one of characters I am playing in D&D which is one of the many things I have picked up since my absence.
I have debated back and forth whether or not to come clean with this or not. Originally I was going to do so after the character concept contest I had participated in but decided against it as I didn’t want to taint the judge’s biases in case they had been inspired by my previous work. Another reason I was hesitant in coming forth is that my departure created a bit of a fallout and isn’t without it’s fair share of victims and in truth that might lead to difficult conversations that I don’t know if I’m ready to have.
Over the last year I would like to think I have matured in some aspects and am hoping to help players new and old once more. My biggest issue previously was that I took the game far too seriously and created pressure upon myself that I lost track of having fun with the game like I had done when I started. If there are people who were hurt by my actions leading up to my departure that are currently reading this, I am immensely sorry for my immaturity and ask for forgiveness. If you choose not to, that is perfectly respectable and I completely understand.
My aim with this post is not to act like a saint or a victim, nor do I wish for things to go back as they were. I just hope to be able to play the game I have lovingly adored even with the gripes I have towards PB and some of their design decisions.
Thank you all for reading and here is to a fun tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Rothan Edentide, formerly known as Kinokan.
