That said, I'm leaving moderation. It's been a nice, exact four years. But lately I had some RL hickups, and the motivation is not there anymore (and neither is the time). So from what was essentially a break (from especially Game Moderating), I now quit. Maybe I'll find something else to do on NS, maybe not. We'll see. I don't even know myself. But those feeder regions look very interesting

I always liked to be able to make my own conscious choices. And this seems like a good moment for me (though such things are probably never a good moment for others). But that should not distract in the end. Rather this way than completely burned out. Maybe in a few years, things change in my life, I have not burned my bridges

Do not start chanting "Four more years! Four more years!". This is NS Moderation, not the US Presidency

Awww...

I understand not wanting to do the mod thing forever, but I liked having you on the team.

Well, four years is a pretty good run for any position of importance in my book.

I wish you the best of luck and enjoyment in your retirement Blaat.

I thought you did well as a mod, but nothing wrong with being one of us grubby commoners again.

Hope things smooth out for you irl

Wow. I am kind of impressed at how you have managed to last four years. Like, compared to Reppy, [violet], DLN, four years seems ridiculously short.

As much as I'd like to say four more years, I recognize that if you are no longer motivated to do the work, there is no real reason why we ought to force you.

At least we'll still enjoy your blaat puns that you tell us while pulling the wool over our eyes.

Sheepie, we'll miss ya wooly self as mod but, life is life and it takes precedence. <3 Thanks for the time you took to help NS.

Byebye mod-Blaat, but hope you don't fully (woolly?) leave NS. :hug:

"four years"

holy shit

How do we know that this is the real Blaat? He seems too sheepish to me. I'm convinced that "Blaat" here is a wolf in sheep's clothing who's trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Wake up, sheeple!

In all seriousness, it's sad to see you go.

It could be a DYP in Blaat's clothing.

A GPer (albeit a former one) retiring? See you in a few weeks

I hear TGW is taking openings for Sheep to join DYP in battle.

by **Maltropia** » Sun Aug 13, 2017 5:28 pm

I'll definitely miss seeing you 'round the Lounge. Thanks for all your input into the Mentor team over the last four years.

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!l!!!

Don't you quit on me!

And so another mod grown old and weary, retires and is sent to a farm upstate never to be seen again.

Take up knitting, you'll see him again ... eventually.

Aww...I'll miss having a sheep pass judgement on rule-breakers...Before you go, I'll give you some fish-shaped cookies. Or maybe some cookie-shaped fish? Eh, I'll probably end up giving you a swordfish anyways, since everything about me on here is about swords and Crusades...and I can't really make Crusade-shaped foods...

by **The One True Benxboro Empire** » Sun Aug 13, 2017 8:47 pm

You've been a great mod!

Best of luck to you, and I hope to keep seeing you around the forums!

Oh, wait. I meant to say Four more years! Four more years!

by **Cerillium** » Sun Aug 13, 2017 10:03 pm

Blaat, you heart-breaker!

Echoing Malt, thanks for all your input in the Lounge. You were an awesome Mod. You're still an awesome player.

Thanks Blaat for the contributions you've made to the site, and good luck to all your future endeavors!
