Global Defenders, I made a bit of a mistake this week. I informed Pungy of my intentions to resign soon on the whim of a moment, and forgot to remember the first rule of writing: text does not carry a tone. So when I wrote “I would like to resign” meaning I plan on resigning, Pungy read it as a polite informing that I resigned right then and there. Defenders, I still have a lot to do in this army and don’t plan on leaving you off on the wrong foot. I do want to retire soon, but by soon I mean Christmas break. At the beginning if I still can’t get much more active, and at the end if I had a chance to do what I planned.
This miscommunication of mine was entirely my fault. I was just sending Pungy a quick email to let him know ahead of time, and asking him how to proceed when the day comes, but I didn’t word it right. Pungy went ahead and gave Hbk my job. Now, I don’t intend to take it back. It was my fault, and Hbk shouldn’t be punished with false promotion. But I do NOT retire.
I’d like to remain in this army and get it running. You guys know you’re not in the best shape, I know it, Pungy knows it, the whole army community knows it. But I’m not about to leave you to figure it out alone. Because of this, I ask Pungy permission to take position as the army’s “overseer.” Now, this isn’t any special position requiring a constitutional amendment. It’s not like I’m trying to gain power here (I just gave up the third highest power, under President and the People). I just want to make sure that the little bits and pieces that make GD what it is are working. I’d like to make sure GD is running as it should, Lords are doing what they’re supposed to, the Speaker of the Assembly is scheduling meetings, the Academy is training cadets, etc.
I’d be very grateful if I was given permission to do this. I’d just be helping the cogs of this machine turn, and that’s all. So formally:
I, Redd Kool, do resign as Vice President of the Global Defenders’ Army and as the Lord of Outback, with the hopes that I will be given special permission to ensure the well-being of the army and its smooth running. I wish this, that the army shall continue to remember my dedication to the army, and nothing more.
