    Hi everyone,

    I just wanted to let you know, in case you haven’t heard already that I am going to be taking a step down from my duties as overseer of No Nonsense Gamers. I have recently taken on a new RL job which is going to require a lot more of my time than I am used to. Especially after being off for 6 months and being able to game whenever the fuck I wanted. Aka go to bed at 3:00am after gaming all night then wake up at 7:00am and start gaming again. It was fun while it lasted but I knew that sort of Dorito munching, blood shot eyes lifestyle wouldn't last forever.

    I started NNG to serve as a home for about 10 Battlefield 3 guys back in 2011. I was so sick of those garbage communities with their shit rules fucking everyone’s online gaming experience up. I decided to create something with structure, standards and invite only the best people to play with. Two years later I am totally stunned to see how big we’ve become. All while retaining what makes us, us.

    We have so many great memories and great people wearing the NNG tags that I am truly humbled. What I intended NNG to be has become so much more than that. So much more than I wanted it to be. But that’s a good problem to have! It’s become bigger than I can manage alone with this little time.

    I have been distant and aloof lately and I would consider that type of behavior in the supposed leader of NNG to be… nonsense. You guys have signed up and committed yourselves to this cause… so I cannot in good conscience continue to run the show. You deserve a community that is actively evolving, paving new paths and looking for ways to improve and that has to start at the very top.

    Effective immediately I am pointing our gaming division leaders as an overseeing and leadership committee of No Nonsense Gamers going forward.

    In alpha order:
    These guys have been with NNG for a long while and have proven themselves as capable leaders. Together they will provide a system of checks and balances to all future changes and enhancements to NNG. At this point they, as a group can decide to bring in other leadership staff and make any changes they see fit to the community. The core standards that define NNG will always be in place and our division leaders have proven their ability to not only abide by those standards but promote them unto others and set good examples even to non NNG members in public servers.

    It’s been great seeing this community grow and I will definitely be around to game when time permits but I look forward to seeing where our new leadership team and the rest of you take this awesome gaming idea into the future!

    Please remember to direct any questions regarding big picture stuff, day to day inquiries, questions, concerns or requests for changes or permissions to your new leadership team (as a whole). Requests sent to me simply will not be dealt with in a timely enough fashion to keep the wheels turning.

    Adios!

    What Ghostsheets is saying is that he will still be around, out of your reach, and can not be bothered with YOUR bullshit. Now he told us to deal with it :)

    Thank you for everything Ghost and good luck!

    I'm sure it's for the better. RL has taken me hostage as well and I haven't been able to float around as much as I used to and completely understand where you're coming from. Good luck with it all.

    Believe me when I say that gaming is a lot more fun when you get to do it in short bursts, feels like more of a treat than a job, haha.

    Also, if you don't mind me asking, what's the job? Are you finally in the FBI? Federal Booby Inspectors?

    Yesss Ghost, join me in staff retirement :) It's much more fun lurking behind the scenes as time permits, then to hold the title and be all responsible & stuff. lol :)

    Best of luck with the new job, hope it takes you where you want to be!
