There have been ups and downs, and there have been times when I've had to just walk away for a while, but Buildism's been nearly my whole life the past 6 months.
When I joined in February, I took a look around, shrugged, clicked the editor, messed around a bit, and decided it couldn't hurt to stay a bit. I checked out the Wiki and found that it was under a spam attack by bots. Helping to clean it up, me and InternetGuy were made wiki mods 2 days after I joined.
In March, I invited a friend of mine to the game. For weeks, it was my only contact with her... even while my Internet was out and I had to scrounge off of the neighbor's Wifi...until I moved, and she never came on anymore. I'm still disappointed about not even getting to say bye, but I moved on from that and got back in the game.
In April, after I became a moderator and the raid happened, I stayed active, got my Internet back full force, and worked on some games, like Buildismaran.
In May, I found some music software and got into that a bit, but I was still full force moderating here.
In June and July, there was the Kieron issues. I think I am one of the few mods from that period who was able to keep on semi-good terms with him.
August... I started making Asteroid Dodgers, and there was the CoderRyne argument. Yes, that went out of hand, because I didn't follow my better judgement and try to dissuade everyone from resigning. The suggestions to Ashely I fully approve, but I think Coder went a little bit too quick in making a final decision there and we all blindy followed without considering. I'm still 100% loyal to Buildism though.
Jacob_, Buildism has been my life for the past 5 months. Since I moved in April, I have had almost no contact with anyone my age in real life, and more than half the time I've spent online has been on Buildism. The game has very much potential, and I haven't been able to finish any of my games due to personal issues and personality issues. I have to do everything, do it myself, and do it the best -- it's just who I am, I can't help myself.
But please Jacob_. Don't just let all these memories die. I've lost too many friends in the past... don't let me lose all the Buildists too.
