Well, while I'm sure this may or may not be a big surprise to everyone, it's come clear that after some recent events that I myself should not be in argonath any longer. I've constantly gotten into some fights here and there and arguments and while I'm sure I didn't originally wanted to see myself act the way I did, it happened. I was given Sergeant and the opportunity to run the academy but I felt so mishandled by Command recently that I didn't want to act properly and was a bit overly hostile with people, however to be fair, some were still hostile with me.

While some may know, I do play in another server where I feel better respected, and that has very little to do with me leaving argonath, nor does it have anything to do with my actions against the group, it was just the poor communication between members in SAPD and myself. I don’t believe I will be returning at all, though perhaps in a year from now or less I’ll drop into the server probably with a different name (I might be namechanging soon after I post this when the server is empty) to see how it is. If things look good, I might consider returning but I don't think that will be the case. I used to place argonath on my top list of priorities when it came to choose between two different servers until near the end. Anyways, to sum it up, I want to apologize for the behavior I showed recently and the things I said about someone. Anyways, I'll put out a few shout outs of the people that I knew in my argo career:

Spoiler (Click to expand)

Nexus Riggs – I’ve known you since I joined this server back in September. On the 15th is when I joined in RS4 and you were the one that guided me through the server and are the one that introduced me to it.

DamienT – At first we didn’t get along but thanks to Kevin Arens (Who was Ben Rosso before) we ended up becoming buddies and we both overcame hardships together. I can still remember our days of riding around in the AirDiv Cruiser when we were in AirDiv for a week.

Ben Rosso (Kevin Arens) – My first FTO and you were right next to Nexus when you were teaching me about the SAPD. Your compassionate attitude was what made me strive in the SAPD to push forward.

[WS]Dylan – As Ben’s brother, we did stuff together and I’m sure there are many fun times we had but I’m having some trouble remembering them since I always recall seeing you when you were on SWAT Duty.

Jake Parker – I was having you right next to me when I was running the academy and I can remember all the times we spent in my corner office in the LSPD talking about Academy stuff. You do have a few things to work on but I see you as a Sergeant in no time if you can learn something from the people around you. Anyways, you have a lot of potential and I'm sure you'll be running the academy as best as you can. I'm still on skype if you have any questions.

Denzel – Perhaps my first big friend in argo as we would talk about ASID and anime together. You've been gone for a while but I saw you come back, hope you'll enjoy the server.

Vladimir Rosso/Luke Rosso/Endo Miyamoto – Your timezone is an issue so I didn’t see you as much as I wanted to ingame but you were definitely a good guide for me in my first days as a Senior Officer.

Milano Rosso – Was able to do a lot with you when you were in the Academy. You gave me the chance to take over and run the academy and thanks to you I was able to do a lot and learn a lot.

Trane Kiedis – Hanging out with the SWAT Commander was something pretty cool and I have to say I enjoyed doing a 1v1 DM with you… with me winning in the end. Sadly I never joined SWAT...

Mang Rosso – Another person I hanged around with in the academy. It was sad to see you leave the SAPD even though you never posted your leave request but I’m happy you returned.

LukeN – A big supporter when I was part of ASID for a week and a mentor in some ways, I do hope you’ll enjoy the military life.

=AV=Megamidget – I treated you like a friend when I should’ve like a command member but I did see you as a friend and it was fun hanging out with you in the mornings and you gave me that support I needed during a difficult time. Was great fun in ASID back in the days and I know I changed a lot when you returned.

[Rstar]Vince - We had some hardships in the past but I guess we are friends now? Anyways you're not really around in SAPD much but still, thanks for actually roleplaying with me in the command office, even though it may have gone a bit too far...

Plam Knight – Definitely someone just like Marcus. You stood up for me also and allowed me to serve within ASID and prove myself to you. Albeit a bit sad, you were very straightforward and have serious leadership capabilities. You told me so many things that I’ll need to learn from and you were the main reason why I stayed after Marcus left. I'm sorry for kind of messing it up the opportunity you gave me at the end though.

And probably the biggest one:
Marcus Ferreria – I would end up writing a thousand words of gratitude just to speak about you. You are a mentor for me and if it weren’t for you, I never would have moved up at all anywhere in this group. You stood up for me and led me to new exciting ways of RP. Anyways, I'm glad you were back alive and well.

If I didn't talk about you it's just cause I was sort of in a rush to write this and couldn't spend too much time on it, and also it's because I'm still in contact with you. I don't think this topic will get that many views since not a lot of people remember who I was anymore, but more of the bad person I am now.

This is my stop and it’s time I go. I don’t feel like posting this on the argonath boards, since I might not be leaving the community in it's entirety (it may come to that eventually) but you’re free to redirect someone here from there if you feel like they don’t know why I left SAPD. This was my first police community and department I stuck around for and I would never look back on it like a bad memory even if some say the group wasn’t the same. Regardless. I’ll still be coming every day to the ARPD boards until I just stop finding a need for it.

Here's a link to all the memories/screenshots I had of argo in case you wanted to see them: http://imgur.com/a/3987m#52
Here all the guides I set up for SAPD back in the day: http://imgur.com/a/1r7kf http://imgur.com/a/ZjpcE http://imgur.com/a/HUgeI http://imgur.com/a/K0qUc (FTOs are no longer in the department, they used to be Senior Officers that taught Academy Students. Basically, think of the guides as the concept and your Academy Instructor should help you apply the concept)
And if anyone want's to do a big training fair or just wants to do some small training sessions, I had plans laid out that you can find here: http://imgur.com/a/Y31uL (If you do use it, please let me know via PM or Skype so I can come see it).

Those who want to keep in contact have my skype... Best of Luck to you guys, hope to see the Academy run better then I ran it.

You know I still disagree with you resigning, but I do understand you. During the time we met eachother in the academy we only became only better friends, you have learned me so much and I am really thankful for what you did and for time you have spend on me teaching. I wish you the best of luck and I will see you soon!!

Even though we had a few clashes against each other, I still want to say that I'll miss you, as you were the one to rebuild the academy into the solid fortress it is today. Something that I couldnt've accomplished when I was put in charge of it. Your name won't be forgotten.
Overall, I wish you good luck with what you intend to do next, and that you will keep the good memories with you.

Farewell.
