An Open Letter From Stepanyan | Resignation

[Dion The Goat]

Welcome to, an explanation of sorts

I understand that I have been away for quite some time. I took a lot of this time to do some self reflecting and think about stuff. I originally was going to make a video for my resignation but I found it quite difficult. Throughout the past couple of months I have had a lot going on. It would be unfair to researchers who wish to be in command that I should be taking that spot when my mental health and ability isn't adequate enough to maintain that spot. It would also be unfair to the whole of research that I keep a position that I could not make time for due to college and responsibilities. I have found that it is extremely difficult to communicate with people outside my close friends. The time it would take me to regain my confidence and reenter the social climate far exceeds the time I would have to put into command. With that being said, I apologize to anyone who had high hopes of my progression. It was an honor working amongst you all. 

Below are messages addressed to specific people

Starstep: Even though I have never once heard your voice, you have been one of my biggest role models in research. A character of true unbiased leadership at its finest. I know our interactions have been short and minimal but I had an amazing time playing stickfight with you when you absolutely demolished us at that game. 

Glados: I think telling you about my resignation was one of the hardest things I've had to tell someone in a while. I know you had high expectations of me and I sincerely apologize that I wasn't able to carry those out. You have been an above excellent leader, have shown compassion and understanding, and are one of the best command members I've had to pleasure to be around. 

D- Another great example of an excellent leader, and by far one of my biggest mentors throughout my time in research. You showed me what it means to be a researcher, you had my back on multiple occasions, and stuck with me. I think you are a prime example of character, and I would like you to know that you were a major influence on me. 

Tomato: I know you seem harsh on the outside and that's certainly how you appeared to me at first. But after getting to know you for a while, you turned out to be really cool. I know you and I had minimal interaction but you were also a major influence on me in my time in research. Your jokes were hilarious and I often found myself entertained just being in the same channel as you. You have also gone above and beyond to make sure that researchers had a good time. Thank you. 

Recon: One of the best command there is and someone whom I consider a friend. Thank you for being a positive influence on me during my time in research. It was fun playing forest with you and CI while we fucked around spamming the radio and having a good time. My interactions with you have shaped my attitude towards the research branch and will not be forgotten. 

Moonrose: Just an overall amazing person. Compassionate and understanding is an understatement. My time with you was spent more in [REDACTED] then actual research and I don't think [REDACTED] could ask for a better leader than you. 

Jummy: Another command member whom I enjoyed a lot. A model researcher and a character of compassion, you will truly be a part of my memories in research. 

Gaming Goat: I remember you being LR when I was just being trained. I truly enjoyed my interactions with you and would like you to know that you had just as much influence on my as anyone else on this list. It makes me happy to see you in command knowing full well that you deserve it. 

ShadowPL: Some of my fondest memories on [REDACTED] was interrogating your ass five times in a given date. Who could forget the time you tried to blow up 131, or 999, or 066, or anything really. You were a blast to play with and a good friend. Even though you never talked, you still found ways to make me laugh. Thank you friend. 

To anyone else whom I might have missed

I apologize. It was hard for me to write this so I might have forgotten a few names. Thank you so much for being there during my time in research and I will miss you all greatly during the coming months in which I might not be active very much. Of course I will be around here and there to say hi or have a chat. I cannot express how much this server has meant to me and how much stress it has taken off my back. It gave me moments of happiness during a time in my life where I felt useless. It gave me a sense of brotherhood and community that no other SCP-RP server was ever able to provide. Cause more than a group of players on an RP community, you guys are my friends. People I enjoy being around. People who have contributed to my development, even if they don't realize it. So thank you, and farewell. 

 

PS- I am not leaving the community, just resigning from my command position in research.

Thanks for everything Stepanyan, I hope to see you around often though I understand that given the circumstances that may be rough. You've been a wonderful member of the research team and you were always a cool guy. Take care.

Thank you all for the overwhelming support. Again I want everyone to know I will not be leaving the community, just resigning from command. Although I wont be as active as I was before, I will still keep in contact. It would be crazy of me to leave such a positive and kind community.

[The Gaming Goat]

You about to make me cry, you were probobly one of the best researchers we have ever had. I hope that one day you may return, im going to miss you. o7.

It's a shame to see you leave from command as I know you would've done amazing in command, But mental health always takes priority over anything else on this server, Hope you begin to do better soon, Stepanyan.
