Leaving the Site Behind

ObsidianCrane » Mon Jan 12, 2015 9:04 pm

I have realized I'm pretty much done with L5R.
Its been part of my life since December in 1998, just in time to be part of the first ever Global Storyline Event in January 1999 (won by a different Crane player locally). I played actively, and competitively for the next 10 years. I ran the first Regional Storyline tournament for Australia, I ran the first Kotei in Queensland and I built the play base over again a couple of times as well. I even managed to win a tournament at the end of 2009 that got my name on a card (that no one other than me ever played) and the Story Team kindly made my Winter Court 1 character cannon, including her goal of marrying Nagori and killed her off wonderfully, she even got a card (which my deck where I won a card included, again I was the only person to play it).

Over 2009 I started moving away from the game until by the end of 2010 I basically wasn't playing. In 2011 work moved me away and I didn't get back to an area with an L5R scene until 2014. But as last year went on it became clear that I just didn't care about the thing that held me in L5R for a long time; the story. Without the story I might as well play MtG, at least then the LGS is 15 minutes away in bad traffic. There are no (Crane) cards whose mechanics make me want to play them and no personalities whose story I care about to want to play them "because they are cool". The retirement of the fan site preview program also means I have nothing to really hold me to the site here either.

So I'm moving into a background mode while I wait to see if IvE2 delivers on the promises of Worlds and if I don't feel that playing IvE2 is going to give me what I want move on completely from L5R, and even if it does deliver more of what I want I will be remaining a casual player anyway.

As such I need a new owner for the Home of the Crane Clan, the site, in its current state will remain here, but I will do no maintenance etc. The domain name lapses in the middle of the year and I will not be renewing it if no other owner has come forward in that time. If you are interested I will be checking this thread for the next week or two, but after that it will be necessary to message me on Facebook.

Play with honor.

Have fun.

Regards
John Pope

Kolejny wyjadacz któremu AEG strzelil w noge.
Powoli sam zaczynam na to patrzeć z tej strony... Mam nadzieje ze Szczecin Kotei odmieni mój punkt widzenia

No, szkoda, że Johna już nie ma. Dla mnie był stałym elementem krajobrazu l5r.

Dobra wiadomość jest taka, że ktoś chyba przejmie to forum i Dom Żurawia nie zniknie kompletnie (chociaż i tak nie dzieje się tam za wiele w porównaniu do tego, jak to wyglądało kilka lat temu).
