    Hello Brawlers.

    As you might have noticed, I've been very inactive for the past months. Now, most of that was because of vacation. But at the moment, I've a very hard time getting active again. This is because of multiple reasons. First of all, school. I've learned from the past years, which weren't that great for me on school. Not because I got bullied or something, but because I nearly didn't pass last year because I put too much time into other things, much of that in Brawl. I loved Brawl and still do, but I've faced the dangers of not focussing on school and I won't let this happen again. I'll probably be more busy for school than last years. Plus the fact that this is about my future, and I do not want to ruin that. Second, my social life. I don't want to talk too much about this, but this takes up a bigger part of my live than ever.
    To make things clear, I'm not leaving. But I might become very inactive. I've played on Brawl for a long time and am a staff member for more than a year now, but that might end after this week. I know I simply can't continue being a part of the staff team if this continues. That's why I made this thread, to tell you all something. I'll try to get active again for the next week, but if I do not succeed this, I'll resign. I might stick my head around sometimes after I leave (if I leave), but that won't be much. I know one thing for sure. If I leave, I'll miss you guy a lot.
    After all I hope I'll be able to combine Brawl, school and social life in a good way.

    That's pretty much it, I don't feel like writing a whole story for this and I think I've made my points clear.

    Brawl on and have a nice day!

    Here's where you run into the problem: you need to balance your desires with responsibilities.
    Responsibilities: School, social life, family/friends, etc.
    Desires: Free time -> Brawl, etc.

    Where you run into the bump into the road is that you spent too much time on Brawl so that you nearly didn't pass last year. As a moderator, there's no problem with playing 45-90 minutes a day.

    Here's what you should do: schoolwork - prioritize it. When I was a staff member, I still had optional courses in the Summer that I passed with a 97% on both (civics and careers) while still maintaining a social life, play two sports (hockey, soccer) and have an extensive amount of hours on Brawl. This is called time management. You need to spend less time overall on Brawl so that you can succeed in school and maintain your social life. However, you applied for moderator on this server, so you can't go completely away from it, or else that won't work.

    How to do it?: Go to school, come home. If your schoolwork is a project/assignment, or is important, do it without distraction as soon as possible. If it's normal everyday work, you can play Brawl while doing so. There's no problem with living your life, so get out and do something! We won't punish you for it. So, you can balance your social/school life as such. Then, at night, you can hop on Brawl if you have free time.

    Hopefully you consider staying as staff, and good luck with your future endeavors.

    This sounds similar to Raven's reasons for leaving. He had to focus on school and couldn't balance Brawl and school. Good luck with everything!!

    If you didn't pass the year then it's probably time to go cold turkey on brawl. Put your time into more useful things.

    I agree with everyone else. I do hope things turn out how you want them to be friend. Make sure you put "extra" important things before Brawl :smile:.

    School and life are way more important than a game you play in your free time.

    Get great grades, go to college. This game will still be here when you get back. Perhaps, 2.0 will be released. You will never forgive yourself if you fail a grade.

    Thanks for all you did for the community. I think you are making a very wise decision.

    Evil

    Very wise words/advice.

    King_daan,

    I can see you need to pass in school, I have made a thread similar to this.
    I just want everyone to know, school should come before Brawl, no madder how much of a good staff member is leaving.
    I understand you guys are sad, but don't say things like this:
    If Brawl means more to a person that school, I don't think that person is responsible and or deserves to be staff.

    Thank you dan for informing us now, instead of laying it on us like raven did. Have a good day and hope you meet school requirements and still be able to meet Brawl's.

    ~Xavier

    The problem is that I spent a big part of the day on school, plus I have to cycle for almost an hour to get there and to go home (normal here in The Netherlands). My intelligence is pretty ok so I'm in a 'smarter' class (not sure how to put this in English), which means that I get a lot of homework. Besides that I've soccer 3 times a week which takes a lot of time too. And for the rest I like to windsurf, when I can, and hang around with friends a lot. Finally I don't want to play too much during night because I don't like to be tired in the morning / on school.

    Thanks a lot for your advice!
