Best of luck to you Teyon.
However, this is honestly concerning to me. As a longtime member of this league, I've seen HO members come and go, and most of the time it's been due to personal issues they have with the position. What is it that happens in HO that causes members to leave with bad tastes in their mouths? It seems that there are a lot of things that go on behind the scenes with HO such as drama and what have you that causes members to experience growing issues in their personal lives. To me, all of this makes it seem that HO isn't exactly an attractive position and more of a burden for the people there.

Being in Head Office is the worst. No matter what you decide on a certain topic, 50% of the league is going to hate it, and a lot of members will just spew vile things at you again, and again because they didn't like some decision you made.
It really does wear on you, so i understand where you're coming from Teyon. Thanks for trying your best and doing some good stuff during your tenure. You made this place better, even if it was for less time than you imagined.

Thanks for your work Teyon.
And wash your hands.

It really isn't an attractive position, I don't think anyone will try to hide that from you. It is a challenge, and before becoming HO I was warned over and over again just how daunting of a position it is. In fact it almost felt like people tried to talk me out of it at times haha. That's just what it is, I won't sugar coat any of it. As much as you love the GM's as people, they will frustrate you and anger you from time to time. As much as you like the people in the league, even teammates, if they do something wrong you have to do the right thing and hold no bias, which is very hard. If there is a hard decision to be made, you have to prepare for half the league to disagree, and you know they won't be nice about their disagreements either. And on top of all that you must do a lot of other work behind the scenes that likely will go unnoticed.
It is just the nature of the beast, and if you are strong mentally and keep an even temper throughout your tenure while somehow being able to shake off all of the shit thrown your way, you will be able to do it for a long time. I feel I would have been able to do it longer had real life issues not gotten in the way.
Anyway, getting away from my rambling, thank you to everyone for your kind words!

Theres a lot that leaves people with bad tastes in their mouths. Betrayal. Constant harrassment. High workload. Frequent arguing. Rigid mindsets from common users. Its tough.
And I know in the end "its just a game", but when you put yourself into the league this much, you cant just simply log off. You have to stick with it. You have to keep pushing forward. So its easy to let it leak into your personal life. Why would you believe you are good at anything when the majority of people love to point out how bad you are? Why would you trust anyone when you cant trust the people who you work with every day here?
Being in Head Office is a sentence. Some people get through it, some people dont. but when you send in your application its a pig signing themselves up for slaughter. Why do you think I tell people how bad it is, even people I think would be great at it? Because I know how awful I still feel over 4 months later.
I wouldnt wish HO on my worst enemy, especially with this community
