I came back because I wanted to build freely. Most of the times, it's lonely on Buildbox just building.
I mean: most people roleplay, make maps, or go for ADV and drop activity. I lost interest in freely building since noone drops by. Well, any Builder that randomly teleported to me decided throwing kill potions was better than asking about the process of making my temple (and the same goes for players when they call'd and I legitimately expected an inquiry or a compliment).
I decided to take up learning WorldEdit from operators and others.... I ended up teaching people new things.
For now, I feel like visiting was a waste of my time. RoF (though to be fair it always has been) an AFK and chat server of toxic/mild circlejerks/horsebeating-jokes or things that just are non-inviting. It has essentially (as I feel for gameplay) become a race to get overpowered enchanted items with Prestige.
Oh, and about the Envelope. Surprisingly, I was met with curiosity in other communities, even in Gmod. Here? I was met with Tumblr-esque jokes... Come on guys, you put an emphasis on maturity and even the players I'm familiar with make crack-ass jokes and then say it's ok because it's a joke and I'm suddenly suppose to smile at the minimal-effort jokes? No, I will not be putting blackboxes in fiber-optic cable rooms (because the public has so many oh-so-misconceptions). No, I was not taken into a white van. No, I did not find aliens or Edward Snowden. No, I did not sign up to get $30,000 USD a year just by staying in school for a Bachelor's in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering and then signing my life to Maryland 1.5x the time it took to get the degree.
Yes, I will still post the WorldEdit tutorial playlist, which will be available outside Blocktopia. Yes, I will post the Temple when it's done. Yes, I will make a short animation.
I'm disappointed as I returned for hope of a enjoyable reunion.
