the following is copypasted from my speech to BW
Hey guys, it's been a long time since I've had to give a speech like this. The last time was at the end of my senior year in high school for my thesis presentation. I practiced for weeks on end, honing my presentation into a concise and effective work of wordsmithing and intellect. Doing this is different for a few reasons, mainly that I'm not receiving a grade based on this and that I haven't practiced this at all.
To start, I'm going to talk about ARES in its current incarnation. Then I'll move onto the future of ARES, and my future as well.
ARES as it stands today is more of a coalition of friends than it is a clan as people believe them to exist. There are no overriding principles, no major goals for us to accomplish. Usually all we want to do is work on our builds and get input and assistance from fellow members. We don't bust our ass to impress others of our talents, we do it without effort. Almost all of our members have their own individual projects under construction or in progress now. Tingalz is wrapping up new weapon packs for the 40k series, along with some playertypes. Grimlock is putting the finishing touches on his own ship, the torrent. Sue is working to find her place in the clan while working on her Apothecary. Each of us have a place in the clan and value it greatly.
However, as I approach college I realize that perhaps I will not be able to keep up with the clan as much as I do now. I had come to that conclusion over a month ago, and have been desperately searching for my replacement. Unfortunately, I haven't found anyone willing to take my place. Some have even said that ARES wouldn't be ARES without me around.
After talking to current students at my college of choice, it is safe to say that I will not be leaving the clan anytime soon.
Originally I was going to choose phantom knight as the successor, but he turned me down. Then I went to Tingalz who expressed doubts in his own leadership abilities. Finally, I approached vionix feld marsel suprem HOMO DIQ suker viocnis who again, turned me down.
However, I do plan on purchasing hosting services for 6 months from Lub. Merry christmas friends, you've earned it.
As for me, my time here is up. Literally. Tom only gave me like, a minute.
