it’s now been 2 years and 10 months since you hired me as your trademaster.
And what a ride that has been. Within 75 levels we’ve met new fellow islanders and maxed the relationship (level 21) to all of them, saw gem-stones dissapear and stickers arrive, opened new parts of the island, built 32 mills, convinced 63 pets to stay on our paradise, mastered all achievements that were thrown at us (although one of them required tons of latte to keep up with), found 8 relicts and we even did all 50 tiers of TF - at least once. All in all it was a wonderful time, that I really enjoyed nearly every day (even when you made me wake up past midnight just to start diving for some gnomes
).Sadly I’ve come to realize, that I am no longer capable of doing this job as requested.
I just don’t feel the energy to master all the (mostly repetitive) tasks, that are part of that job nowadays, with the same excitement than I used to and it seems to me, that our traders from all over the ocean are constantly getting more and more demanding, which is not within my possibilities anymore.
With that being said, I’m announcing my withdrawal from the position as trademaster.
I will surely miss the new people that I met(+ their nice treat(s)-ment
), diving together, builder and community events (if they are doable) and all the other fun stuff that I just can’t remember at the moment, as there have been so many of them.But I feel it’s time, time to invest my energy and excitement in other projects and things that I like to do as much as I enjoyed this game.
Don’t be sad. I am leaving you with all mills being maxed, so the work will be done much quicker in the future. Hopefully Sheena can REALLY take care of all the pets from now on and lure some more onto the island and maybe Finn and Pike can REALLY learn to built all the items so you can keep the events to entertain you coming (instead of letting me do all the work
). I also thought It would only be fair to spread ALL my inventory among other trademasters and give you a bare island to start over again.Let me assure you that I still like it here, but I don’t want to get to that point where I start feeling angry about not achieving certain goals, missing out on something or being totally burned out.
I hope you allow me to use one of those ships, I built for you (as you never paid me money for all the hard work
), to set sails.... homewards and maybe on to new adventures in other parts of the world. You’ll never know if or where we will meet again.So farewell to all.
Yours faithfully, C.K.
P.S.: To all tradmasters on the forum.
I really enjoyed reading your posts and talking to you. I learned so much from all the input you gave and admire many of you, from back in the day when Hollowness and Kiwidave were still around up until this moment. Folks like Livinez, Kittykatz, Mauimonkey, Piipou, JustSad, Bobo and many others (sorry to name very few but this list would be endless - so please don’t feel left out) are an enrichment to this community and I highly appreciate the helpful and friendly atmosphere here. May this continue with a now even more international crowd!
So to everyone who is staying around: Have fun and keep pushin’!
