It's been a little over a year now since I looked up minecraftserverslist.com and saw a rather promising server called "Opticraft." I joined the server and met the community and all of the wonderful people. I said "I finally found the perfect server." You are reading this, and are probably scared thinking "Oh shit, he's leaving isn't he?!" Sadly, yes. Just insert a "I have lost my love for vanilla Minecraft" excuse in here. Some of you are going to go ahead and say "He's just butthurt he lost moderator so he's leaving." You are almost right. It's the other way around. I pretty much lost moderator because I was leaving without realizing it. You see, I expected a shitload of tickets and banning griefers left and right, but let's be honest: 60% of my time was spent flying in circles around my house waiting for a ticket that actually turned out to just be a false trigger. Then a friend messaged me ingame "Wanna join my friend's tekkit server?" I responded saying "I don't play tekkit. Sorry." But then, earlier that day about a week ago I said "Actually, I'm trying something new today. Little did I know I was dooming my Opticraft career. I'm leaving. Yup. I'm sorry, but it happened, and I'm just gonna go ahead and say: blame tekkit. Go throw tekkit out the window if you want revenge, but I'm sorry to say tekkit is not a physical object, and therefore cannot be thrown outside a window. I am not leaving you guys ENTIRELY though: Who the hell am I to do that with all you guys floating around? Come on, at least I will pop in and out ingame every now and then, and I sure as hell am not ditching the forums. Who knows, maybe I will come back. But hold up. I'm going out, but I will not just disappear. I will be writing a very long and descriptive book about my entire time on Opticraft. But first, on here I will write some career highlights and leave a nice note to all of my friends that I can even remember (Hey, with this great of a community I'm probably gonna miss a bunch). But here's the deal: If you guys can give me a really damn good reason to stay, I will stay. Start with theone's memorial wall. Idk make me proud or something.
Notable People - Thanks for hangin around with me guys. I really appreciate it.
-theone7142- Holy shit. I just had a flashback I was surprised I could remember. It's March, and some dude named theone7142 is just hangin around the server. We start up a conversation, become amazingly great friends, he moves his house next to mine, we open up a shop (It's still there), and all of a sudden I'm just sitting there like "Holy hell. I just realized all this happened when we were a frickin guest." Theone7142 tried to leave. But hell no. I made sure he stayed with theone7142's memorial wall right in front of his house. You think I would just let him leave like that? NO. I salute you sir. And I wish you the best of luck.
-awesomealicia (AKA SpamSlayer)- I just fucking love your sarcasm. I read something somewhere saying "Sarcastic people tend to be more creative" on some "Did you know?" website and shit, and I thought "Huh. I think I better take a quick look at all of awesomealicia's builds next time I get ingame." Awesomealicia also promoted me to Trusted rank, jump started the climax of my time here, and made my damn day everyday. Seeya.
-opticalza- Dude. Where did you get this idea from? "Hey, let's just buy a server box and then host one of Minecraft's greatest servers of all time according to server lists everywhere! Good idea!" Obviously, you took a big risk, and you became one of the luckier ones with the outcome being like this. You took my money and it was well spent. Thanks man.
-2crzy4uall (AKA BanHappyModerator)- I remember back when this dude was a member. Now he just got operator a few days ago (somewhere around the time I was inactive). It's amazing when you watch people grow. It really is. 2crzy managed to put a smile on my face almost any day as well, and helped me when I first got moderator with learning all the commands and stuff.
ViperZeroOne- You're not reading this. I know that. It's so unfortunate you left, I really enjoyed having you around with your lack of seriousness at times. I never got to listen to Club Dark. I doubt you will come back, but thanks for the time you spent when you were here.
minecraftfan669- You're not reading this either. You were the very first ever friend I made when I joined this server. LB my house. The bottom floor. His name is in there somewhere. Thanks, and sorry I hijacked your enchanted pickaxe you wanted me to sell, I was just so amazed at Effeciency I pickaxes to be honest with you, I was new to Minecraft at the time.
-LIEKABOWSE- You sir, are just a damn genius. You are pretty awesome, and I'm pretty sure someone has told you that before. I met you early in your Opticraft career, and you then invited me to your private server in which I made some pretty shitty buildings XD. Treat Cazual well Mah Boi, seeya.
Jake_EP3300- I'm sorry our friendship didn't last too long, but it was pretty fun. You were a nice guy, and I just talked to you ingame at this very moment. I will be looking forward to seeing you with an orange name next time I see you, mmkay? Seeya man.
TurtleMan918 - Why are you so random? I don't know you all that much, but you say the derpiest and randomest shit ever and it makes me laugh like hell.
CazualxGrenade - Boom. Last one on this list. Sit comfortably and get cozy, this is gonna get pretty long.
So Picture this: You're sitting in a classroom on the first day of 7th grade and you're bored as hell. The new kid is sitting next to you, and he's staying pretty quiet. You've got one hour to start a friendship before Pre-Algebra ends, so get going. Here's my situation: I know the teacher already, I know the general rules, why don't I go and make a new friend? I got some kid here next to me named Andy...mmkay. Good enough. I left that classroom to go to P.E. and we just kept talking the whole time. The year went on, and it was around the beginning of the new year when I heard something that sparked an idea in my mind: Bring Andy to Opticraft. He said to me "Do you play Minecraft?" "Yeah, I got a cool new server called Opticraft you might like, we could start off there." 2 weeks later I met Cazual ingame, and it was quite the reunion. We both kept at the same pace. I got Trusted. A few days later he did. I actually was that close to rejecting myself for moderator when I learned I was going to be a moderator and leaving Cazual behind. About 2 months in, I realized that bringing Cazual into Opticraft ended up being one of the best moves I ever did, and it benefitted the server greatly. I'm pretty sure he's shocked to read this, and if anything, I'm just glad that I get to keep Cazual when I leave :P I might be leaving, but guys. Treat Cazual well, mmkay? He's a brother to me. And is the only way i could have possibly gotten my own minecraft account or donated to the server. I'll see you tomorrow Cazual.
Any questions? Post a comment. I'll be glad to respond.

TL&DR PLZ!

http://did-you-kno.tumblr.com/ This would be where youre coming from.
-
Bye, I will be here when you decide to come back.

SNAPE NO NO NO NO
STAY PLEASE D:

Salsa. You've brought me to this server, and we started out greatly. In the beginning, it was us, a few members, and some building. The time we started getting trusted together, it was like a whole new beginning for us, and we made some new friends. In the middle, bah screw it, in the end. You were a great moderator, but today is the time you split paths with us, and I can completely understand that. We all have ropes tied to our goals, and most have reached them. As time passes, this may happen at some point for me, so farewell. But I will still be able to see you at school, and shall we savor this memory to our fullest. Cheers friend.
-
I never knew you well, but I saw you were nice and friendly, and you not being on opticraft will suck, any way goodbye for now.
-
Wow. Salsa, of all people leaving...
I didn't see that coming really. You were always a pretty active member on the forums and on smp.
But good luck on your adventures on tekkit mate. We'll be here waiting for your visits and eventual return.
-
That is quite a story. It's sad to see you go.
Good luck with whatever you end up doing =)
-
It really does suck to see so many really good friends go, goodbye and goodluck.
-
I love how Igen said 'when' u return, not 'if'
anyways, goodbye salsa I hope that you have fun with whatever else it is you do
i blame tekkit for this
-
I will miss you a lot!! But ever since you got your own account I can't call you Snapey.
Ill miss you Snapey
-
Wow Salsa, all the memories are starting to fade away along with this server's most beloved. You know what? Screw mods! (The mods you install, not the moderators on this server.) Still Snape, I along with all of Opticraft's caring citizens will dearly miss you. Good luck with whatever you become happy with doing. ;)
-
Even though i wasnt on the wall of text, i read the whole thing.
So now its your turn to read mine, and its all about you
Lets start out with "salsas list of goals".
1. Get trusted *check*
2. Get 1000 posts *check*
3. Get moderator *check*
4. Become a role model *check*
5. Throw it all awaycheck
See, i went for another server for a few weeks. Half the reason i came back was you. Only, when i come back, i see you leaving. What dafuq? Crzy just got op. And you just got demoted. See, if i didnt know you id be glad you left. Itd make me like a veteran, since we joined about the same time. See, half the reason i didnt go up a rank with you is cause in the summer i got banned. That permaban was held until i appealled in early august. After that, it took a month to get trusted. But you were probably trusted way before. Bwcause of that, i looked up to you. You basically control the offtopic section. You were just so nice. I believe a lot of people looked up to you. Stay. Stay here. Staying on the forums will doom you. You will have ties to here, and you will still feel here so it will not feel like you need to come on IG. I beg of thee, i will give you so much, stay.
-
What the hell amI doing. I cannot just throw it all away like goalie said. Like I said, give me a good reason and I'll come back, and now I see that this was sufficient. I sat up in bed last night for an hour thinking about this and another 20 minutes this morning. I am not ready to leave opticraft. Besides, I wanna be here when 1.5 the "fuck up ALL red stone creations!' update comes out, I gotta go to school so seeya.
-
Thank you snape. :D
Btw msg me in game.

I've got a better song:

Listen to the words closely salsa, LISTEN.

Sucks that you're leaving :/
Best of luck in your future Salsa/Snape!

Mr, you could not have picked a better song at this time.
Snape, I could be like everybody else and say dont leave and screw mods, but here is what I want to say.
On may 24, we has a guest join by the name of snapethesnipe. Little did we know that he would actually go down in history on the server. You were turned out to be a person that people admire and look up to. I know you, not as well as some other people, but I do. Here is my reason to stay:
Think of all those people you put in your post above, all those hours you spent on the server, every forum post you ever put, be good or bad. Are you just going to throw that away like it was nothing? Thats not the snape I know. The snape I know would find his love for vanilla minecraft once again. He would find something to do to be on the server. Snapethesnipe just dosn't leave, and I know he wouldnt just "drop in" every now and again. All those hours spent on the server. No. Just no.
Dont say goodbye, cause I dont want to hear those words tonight.
-
:(
-
salsa... i know you dont know me very well... but i know you. you were a really good player and you always got the word to make people laugh... ill wait for you to come back man... :)
-
Bye Snape. You were a really good player to have met.
I still don't remember what in the world I had against you when joined, (I think it was you ranting about YOLO, which I regress now…) but that was long since forgotten in my view of you. You, CazualxGrenade, and Matty585 were the closest people I've come to know on this server.
Well, happy Tekkit. See you back when you get bored of it. Because really, once you get on top of the world with a mod pack, you'll get bored as fast as the cart that will run you over.
And yes, I did read all over that text. Like I said, you are one of the closest people I've met here; it was worth reading your reason.
-
Bye Salsa (Snape), Had a few good times with you =) Theone7142's funeral... That was a good time thank you for hosting that.
I hope you decide you come play MC on opticraft again you will be truly missed.
Bye,
Nhataley
-
I feel i am the only one not willung to say bye and give him up just yet.

in fact.... it is not the right section to post that.

What everyone is trying to say is that when we joined this server we all made friends, while you were on the server you made many friends. You have become a friend to everyone and everyone hates when friends have to go away. I never really got to talk to you much and that was a mistake because you are an awesome fellow. I didn't join until late August so i missed the time when lots of amazing people joined. All im askin is for you to play on the server for just a little longer before hou make your descision, I guarantee you will change your mind by then. Opticraft's community is like a family, we are all weird in our own way and we are always messing with each other but we will always be there for each other. Just hear me out and i think some other people will agree with me as well, we all will support you but we all want you to stay. Cheers mate and i hope you hear me out.
-
Men, I fear Opticraft may be going into the Dark Ages of Opticraft.
You said this, in September.
http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,13469.0.html
Spyow left then.
He came back.
I fear what you said then. I fear its happening again.
All i can do is hope. Hope you, like spyow, will come back. He came back. So should you.
And was this Tekkit server Caz's?
-
1: Where am I, I Spent alot of time with you!
2: Wasn't My friends Tekkit server! WE MADE A NUKE AND FUC**D THERE SHIZZ UP :3
3: Bitch if you don't get your arse back on, I Will kick your pretty little Head in till you gain sense & get back on the server i lost love (And a computer) I was away for like 5 months! I'm back into minecraft again Heck i'm normaly on xbox I have not touched that thing in like a week and abit but come on man don't give up get your self a project and get building :)
-
I'm not going to say goodbye yet, because I still have some hope for you and Caz staying. Like I said in Caz's leaving notice, you have brought life and fun energy to the Opticraft community. It would really suck to see you go. We will sure miss you and Caz if you guys leave. :(
-
I think if your bored with Opticraft, the best thing is to take a break. Go have some fun else where until you want to come back.

Guys, I am going to make a deal. There has been some serious tension in mymgeneralmlife, and shit has hit the fan. My grades have dropped, getting in fights with my dad almost to the point where it almost gets physical, and just not getting to that special "happy place". I sound like a whiny little bitch right now, but quite honestly my fate lies in my next moderator application. Why? At first I thought "lol don't care" when i got demoted. Then I realized "Shit. I'm bored again." and quite honestly, moderating gave me a reason to even stay because it gave me something to do, and actually was pretty fun. I miss that staff channel, where we used to talk about totally appropriate things, complain about our homework and try our best to talk ghetto (I didn't get far without using a certain word). I feel like I have "won" Minevraft. I have been to the nether,gott a blaze grinder, defeated the ender dragon, got an ender an farm, made shittons of potions, got some really good tools and armor, and when you sit therenwithbyour mega swords in your blaze grinder, you think "this is boring. I'll go do that other thing." then you go to your house and realize "I don't know what to do." As a moderator, that's easy. Go interrogate a member and see if they are worthy for trusted, go fly around the world fixing random grief, maybe try for operator, respond to some tickets, hang around spawn invisible and ban the spammers, hang out with a guest and help the, get a good start, hang around with other moderators and do stupid shit together, or just have a nice little quiet time and chat with the members of the community. But best of all, I watched people grow. Does anyone else remember 2crzy as a member? He about when I was a guest? A,d when you're a moderator, you feel like at least you are doing something productive to opticraft.so here's my wall of text, burn your eyes out and seeya for now

Know what you feel mate (Some not and some different) if you want something to work on im working on a massive project and really only want mates with them and im sure you'll get mod again!
-
Hopefully you decide to stay whether or not you get Mod, try building something cool like sm1ffy suggested.

You don't seem to have any sympathy for him, do you? He said he didn't care until he noticed he would be extremely bored. Plus, he's also going through problems like Cazual is
-

Does building things help get people mod? I really don't see how that helps, but I don't have anything against salsa becoming mod again so build away.
-
Eh, screw it. I will stay with or without moderator. And CooCrab was being sarcastic when I said "You might hitnk I'm just being why because I'm leaving after losing moderator" no need to blow this out of proportion. Just a joke.
-
Fellow opticrafters, do not worry. We are not going into a dark ages. This dark ages saying came around in about September... What else starts in September? School. And school especially high school or college can be a lot of work and very stressful. Don't worry come June and July I'm sure many of our old friends will be back to visit. And also if you decide to stay snape that's awesome!
-
Then excuse my rant……
And glad to know you'll stay whether or not you get Mod. rank back :)
-
Guys...the dark ages thing was a JOKE. We are not going into dark ages, lol
-
Dip shit just re apply its back open, I've already lost mate you deserve another go;)
-
This topic was to say goodbye, however, he is no longer leaving and this topic is now irrelevant and being sidetracked, so...
Topic Locked.
