Resignation

[Benjamin C Ravenclaw]

I officially resign from the Deshret, this has become too much drama for me to deal with. Festavo has said that we are brothers, and brothers fight, but this isn't just fighting anymore. This is more akin to Cain and Abel. I'm sorry for those who feel I am apart of the problem, but you can be happy that I am stepping back now. Goodbye for now everyone.

[Benjamin C Ravenclaw]

After some further considering I've decided to renounce Citizenship as well. Goodbye everyone.

[The Almighty Jesus Whale]

This makes me unbelievably sad, but I'm happy that during your time here we became friends and got to know each other.

Tensions are very high now, and everyone should take a break, and I hope that's what your departure will be.

There is always a place for you in Osiris shad <3.

[Yuno]

Happy to have been friends with you

[Lord Ravenclaw]

I am the posting the following with permission of those involved from the OFO Skype, where I explain the reasons for Ben's resignations.

I also have a copy, saved, of the screenshot mentioned below.

Spoiler

[00:44:40] Josh (Raven): He left because someone decided to start insinuating he had bodies buried somewhere.
[00:44:54] Josh (Raven): Given that I pulled him out of his NS grave last year, that isn't the case.
[00:44:56] Revall: He is better off then he deserves better.
[00:45:11] Josh (Raven): But I told him to leave Osiris, because he has been suffering horribly in this region.
[00:45:35] Yuno: really? D:
[00:45:37] Josh (Raven): And I am not sitting idly by while someone I care about goes through emotional blackmail from a fully grown adult who should know better.
[00:45:41] Josh (Raven): Yes.
[00:47:31] Josh (Raven): It's not on.
[00:47:38] Cormac: "Emotional blackmail."
[00:47:42] Josh (Raven): This has gone beyond politics.
[00:47:49] Revall: It really has.
[00:47:57 | Edited 00:48:01] Josh (Raven): That screenshot I received wasn't politics, Cormac.
[00:48:12] Cormac: Did the screenshot include him messaging me first, moaning about the state of Osiris?
[00:48:16] Cormac: I didn't message him.
[00:48:21] Josh (Raven): what?
[00:48:34] Josh (Raven): This is a screenshot I received from Ben by way of Whale
[00:48:42] Josh (Raven): nothing to do with you dude
[00:49:19] Cormac: Ah, in that case I have absolutely no idea what/who you're talking about.
[00:49:34] Cormac: I thought I was being accused of emotional blackmail for the conversation I just had with him.
[00:49:38] Josh (Raven): Nope
[00:49:43] Josh (Raven): You're not the type
[00:50:05] Cormac: Was it Syl?
[00:50:25] Josh (Raven): Aye. He believes that Ben has wrapped me around his little finger and is using me as a benefactor.
[00:50:42] Josh (Raven): This is not the first time I've seen him say as much - or hint as much.
[00:51:18 | Edited 00:51:19] Josh (Raven): But to make it clear for everyone: I felt that Shadoke left Osiris back then too hastily, and felt that he should have had a trial to defend himself, that he had gotten the unfair end of the stick.
[00:51:55 | Edited 00:52:01] Josh (Raven): I take security very seriously, I loathe forum destruction of any kind, but he was a fourteen year old out of his depth in an environment that is fucking stupid at times.
[00:52:01] Yuno: o.o
[00:52:10] Cormac: Many forum destroyers are quite young actually.
[00:52:25] Cormac: And are punished as severely as Shadoke was, if not moreso.
[00:52:32] Josh (Raven): So I sought him out to make sure he was alright, to try and give him a chance to move on, and become someone better than what he was.
[00:52:35] Yuno: shadoke did nothing wrong
[00:52:42] Josh (Raven): He did, Yuno.
[00:52:44] Yuno: ?!
[00:52:46] Yuno: i wasn't looking
[00:52:52] Cormac: Well that's not true. He did nothing wrong right now, but at the time he destroyed a forum.
[00:53:00] Josh (Raven): He facilitated someone's access to delete a forum.
[00:53:05] Cormac: Though that isn't relevant anymore. People have been pardoned for that.
[00:53:07] Yuno: the fuck?!
[00:53:12] Yuno: when was this
[00:53:19] Josh (Raven): Last year, at the start of.
[00:53:24] Yuno: last year.
[00:53:25] Yuno: ok.
[00:53:29] Yuno: -exhales-
[00:53:32] Josh (Raven): But it's relevant to why Syl feels Ben is controlling me.
[00:53:34] Josh (Raven): Of a sort.
[00:53:44] Josh (Raven): And while he restored it, it was done. He fled Osiris believing that he wouldn't get a fair trial.
[00:53:54] Josh (Raven): Thus opened himself to being PNG by the Deshret.
[00:54:02] Josh (Raven): Not a wise move.
[00:54:24] Josh (Raven): Either way, he worked hard to clear his name after that - and I gave him command of Alexandria's fledgling military.
[00:54:57] Josh (Raven): Eventually he also joined my NS House in Alexandria - hence the surname.
[00:55:22] Josh (Raven): He left some organisations and regions for his position in Alexandria, then.
[00:55:31] Josh (Raven): I required he leave DEN and any other militaries.
[00:55:51 | Edited 00:55:52] Josh (Raven): So there are no bodies, that Syl claims, to be revealled.
[00:56:09] Josh (Raven): I reached out because he didn't get a trial in Osiris.
[00:56:26] Josh (Raven): If anything, surely I'd be the one controlling him, and not the other way around?

or revalled
[00:56:39] Josh (Raven): quite.

[Cormac]

I'm sorry to see you go, Shadoke. I hope you'll reconsider and return soon.

[Festavo]

I am sorry to see you go, man. Maybe you can return when the bloodbath is over.

[Revall]

Shadoke you deserve better, I hope you return in more civilized times.

[Tomb]

You will be missed, Shadoke. Hopefully, you'll be back one day.

[Severisen Montresor]

As an administrator note, Benjamin told me he intends to keep his citizenship after all, though he can't post here because I've removed him from the Deshret.
