Popular Post Gaius Julius Caesar Posted February 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2021 Let me begin this by saying I am not the one who has the condition forcing me to walk away. I want people to know that it is not my own health that has led to this decision, but the health of an extremely close relative. With that being said, and with the name of this announcement, it is undoubtedly clear what this is, but I will say it anyway. Earlier today, I received devastating news that a very close relative of mine has been diagnosed with what they believe to be cancer. It is this news that has led to my official resignation from the position of Vice President of Foreign Affairs of the Syndicate, a position I was honoured to share with @Agent W. I would like to thank @Prefonteen @Leopold von Habsburg@Shiho Nishizumi@Dionysus@Theodosius@Batavus @Lucasand many many more in the Syndicate for seeing some kid who had made mistakes that haunt him in NPO's Last Time, and then made more mistakes in the Commonwealth, and chose to accept him to their alliance. It was a brief period of time that I have spent in the Syndicate, but it has been an amazing time, and I thank each and every one of you, and many many more for giving me the chance to prove myself. I would also like to thank @Sphinx@Putmir@Yui and many more in the Commonwealth for convincing me to return to this game after NPO's Last Time, when I fully intended on walking away and never again touching this game. I can not tell you all the depths of my gratitude that you allowed me to have a second chance after the mistakes and horrible decisions I made while as a member of the Black Knights. I thank each and every one of you for the friendships you allowed me to make in this second chance, and I thank every person in this game who has treated me with kindness and respect and understanding. Although it pains me to think of those mistakes I made, I know I need to again mention them, because I will not run from or hide from my mistakes. I won't deny the things I did, and I won't pretend the pain I helped cause does not exist. I did serve as a member of the government of the Black Knights for NPO's Last Time, and it was indeed under my tenure as a member of government that the worst atrocity committed in the history of this game occurred. I was willfully ignorant of the cheating that occurred, ignoring those who told me it was occurring. I did not stand against members of government when alliances were killed and nations were forced to quit this game. I stood by while friendships were destroyed, and pain was caused, and while I did not do nothing, I could have done more. I should have done more. I know there are those who can not and will not forgive me for these things, and I understand and accept it whole heartedly. I can say nothing more than this. With every ounce of my being, I am sorry for the things that occurred. My apologies will not take back the things done, it will not change the past, and it will not make the hurt go away. It will not bring back the alliances that died, it will not bring back the nations that were lost, but I need to apologize regardless, because now, at what I believe will be the end of my time in this game, I will not leave without accepting the depths of the pain caused by an alliance I was at one point proud to say I was in the government of. I have nothing more to say, save for this. I pray with all of my heart that this is not the end of my time in Orbis. I pray with every ounce of my being that the news I was given was a mistake, and should it not be a mistake, I will fight with every fiber of my being to do all I can to help my relative recover from their condition. I hope beyond hope that I will continue to play this game for years more to come, but if it should be that this is not the case, then I thank each and every one of you that I have met in this game, for giving me an experience over these three years that I truly believe will stick with me for years to come. Thank you all once again. I love you all. Imperator Tarroc of Imperium Romanum. 58 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vice Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 While what you speak of was before my time, owning up to mistakes is the greatest step towards improvement. Regardless of the capacity or scale. While your mistakes may have created ripples throughout Orbis, it has defined the game to what it is today. May we close that chapter, learn from it, and proceed forward. It is never good news to have a loved one fall ill and I wish you best of luck. We look forward to your return!

MinesomeMC Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I wish you well, but I feel some of y’all take the events of NPOLT like if all of you got convicted for war crimes in Nürnberg. It’s been a year, it’s a game, just move on. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putmir Vladin Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I've loved being able to call you a friend, Tarroc. Even through the ups and downs, I've always been able to call you my closest friend within the game. I seriously appreciate everything that you have done for me in the past, and I'll always be by your side in the future. It takes a lot of courage to admit your mistakes from the past, and I highly respect you for bringing them up. Its been an honour serving with you (in tCW) and building a small group of close friends with you. I know that you've enjoyed your time in t$, and I'm happy that you did. Take care and remember to look after yourself and your family; You know how to contact me if you ever need to. I've already spoken to you about this, but I wish you and your family the best of luck and I'll say it again, I am always just a message away. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sphinx Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Tarroc, I'm so sorry to hear about this, as we spoke about in our DM's, it has been an absolute honour and a privilege to be able to spend almost a year together in tCW, and before that, when we spoke when you were in Pantheon/BK before. You were an integral part of our community and I'm glad you reconsidered leaving the game, and instead joined our community. Your quality of work as FA head, your enthusiasm, your personality and your drive to better TCW's community alongside the oftentimes crazy late night chats in TCW's gov channels, games and banter produced some of the best times I've ever had in this game. You were by far one of the best government members tCW ever had, and whilst it was sad to see you move onto t$. I knew that you'd also be able to make a difference there as you did for us in TCW, and I'm glad you got to enjoy another chapter of your time in this game. The fact you can speak so candidly about the past, just reinforces your qualities. Those of us in Colo B made mistakes and I wish I could've been as eloquent as you in summing up them not to mention being composed enough in trying to atone for them. For what its worth I enjoyed getting to know you when you became BK's FA head and I do not believe for a second that you hold responsibility for the actions which Colo B took. I'll be forever grateful for those memories that our small group created and I hope we can stay all in touch together well into the future. I'm always open for a chat, whenever you need mate. ❤️ Edited February 1, 2021 by Sphinx 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yui Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I already said a bit in DMs but you've always been great to have around and always up for fun but a serious wise word if needed too.

Agent W Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Tarroc, I only got the pleasure of working with you fairly recently, but you impressed me with your dedication, honour, and skill at FA. I am proud to call you a friend, and I wish you nothing but the best as you confront that dragon, cancer. 3 Quote Former Imperial Officer of Internal Affairs and Emperor of the New Pacific Order, Founder of the Syndicate, Current Chief Global Strategist of the Syndicate.

Batavus Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It’s been quite a journey. You’ve been around for most of my 1000 days in the game. I was happy to have you by my side in our early days running FA. Loyal, tough and outspoken. Dedicated. Good FA insight. Welcome sanity in a politically unstable aa. Not always very diplomatic lol, but great to have by my side. And we had fun In BK you showed them the same dedication, loyalty and further developed your toughness and outspokenness. I disliked that Tarroc. Since those days you’ve redeemed yourself. It was good to see the old Tarroc returning and FA in t$ was a natural fit. As Putmir nicely said: I’m only a message away. All the best as you focus on your family - my thoughts are with you and your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buorhann Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Cancer sucks, I know. Spend time with your close relative as much as you can. I wish I did with my best friend.
