The death of York
York is dead, suicide is painless.
As you may have guessed I killed off York; Why? Because, York failed, and failure is not tolerated. York was given one year to complete a predetermined set of goals and was governor by predetermined rules. Oddly enough, no one ever asked what they were. … There is little point now. However one of these related to York’s death if he could not prove his worth.
I’m not gonna say that it was a total failure because he did come close. I extended his time based on the fact he was close to completing his goals but it became clear that he was not going to be able to complete them after being banned by Stratics mods (Zuckuss, Petra fyde, and Kelmo (sorry bud, I tried to speak with you about this but…. You never replied to me) ). York’s game needed a level of communication that cannot be achieved by the game alone. So if he can’t trust the forums…. Then it was over. Plus being banned highlighted his failure and need to be killed off. Not to mention the new mods are really abusing their power so much the site has lost half of its pop since they have been in place… I completely understand why.
I had a planned to announce his death in a RP manner and write him out but………………. We never had a last meeting!!! And the last meeting that was held was not held on the last Sunday of the month as was agreed. There was no way I could have made it since it was changed and I had planned for the Last Sunday of the month. I will admit it was frustrating to log on to kill off York to find out that I was going to have to do it on stratics. I never could get ahold of the king or the EM….. just failure.
I will say I have had some enjoyable moments on the shard and met some wonderful people. I will also say that I personally was surprised how well and long York lasted. I truly thought he would make it a month or two at most so… 15 months was truly impressive. But, it never changed the fact he was going to have to die. I mean I wrote his ending when I wrote his rules. He always was to commit suicide…
In closing I will say that York was a character and represented parts of the player but he is not, nor was the player. He merely did things the player can’t. The player is still living and thanks all of those who supported York. I highly doubt that York can be resurrected it would take more magic than exists.
Game Over,
