I need to really take the time to apologize for my actions and the things that I have posted in the forums. I need to come clean with this all and say that most of the things I have been posting about my personal hasn't 100% truthful, however some things have been, I realize what kind of position that I have put you all in, and I also realize that I now that I have no creditability in eGO because of my actions, and I also don't expect any of you to accept my apology if at all. But the truth of the matter is I never wanted more than what I already had with eGO, all I wanted to do is help others in a way that went beyond just being admin, such as being a friend to a new recruit or someone that needs help applying into eGO. I'm certainly not even asking to be a part of leadership such as an Advisor, like I said all I wanted to ever do in eGO from day one, was to help others out with anything that needed help with whether in game or out of game, even outside of eGO itself with problems they just wanted to talk about, with someone they could rely and trust upon, to help them through what they had going on. From this point on I realize that I most likely never have anyone again within eGO that will take anything that I say or do seriously, and to be honest I don't blame them, but I have been told that it doesn't matter how long you've been in eGO, what matters is what you have in the time that you have spent in EGO. If that were true I just have one last question for all of eGO before I leave. And that is if it has nothing to do with time, then my question now is why hasn't anyone ever given me a chance or an oppurtunity to really do what I felt I was in eGO for, besides the fact that it all boils down to just having in game with friends, that was fine with me, but when you can't even help others beyond that, just because nobody ever would even give you the time of day, I feel is just not a place I need to be a part of. I now feel like the last 6 years I've spent here, have a complete waste of time effort and money, that's all on me, but like I said I just wished that everything would have had a different outcome then this.

My Sincerest Apologies To All of eGO,
Bergen
 
I actually dont know what you mean either. Maybe you could explain what you havnt been honest about?

1. How did ANYONE hold you back from doing what you wanted to do? I don't understand why you are pointing the finger at everyone else.

2. That's a pretty harsh thing to say, that eGO has been a complete waste of time. A few weeks back you posted something nice saying how much eGO and the members meant to you, and now you are taking that all back? I thought this was an apology, not something made to degrade the organization.

3. If this is you leaving eGO, (I'm not sure, but at the end of the post, I think that's what you are getting at) I bid you farewell.

I also apologise for anything I did last night. Didn't realise I was so lightweight! :P
 
My 2 cents: I first want to start off by saying I don't know what is truth and not with regards to what you have posted on the forums. I'm not inclinded to judge either way. I do want to say a few things though if that's ok. Being on the internet somewhat gives you the liberty to do what you want.. be who you want. It's not uncommon for someone to develop a different personality and build on it by trying to pass things off as truth when infact it is just imaginative creativity. Things happen, people make mistakes but in the end people are human and usually just looking for acceptance in some regard. I myself am a pretty quiet guy, I'm on vent and in the servers but I don't usually say much. I do however listen though. You seem to always have a great attitude while gaming, always seem helpful to anyone that had questions and are generally a good person to have around. EdgeGamers is supposed to be about the community feeling(family like).. always there for anyone that needs help in any way shape or form. I don't think you've fallen short of that at all. Your statement regarding time spent here being less important than what you do here however is a very important and factual statement. There's "time served" and there's "making a difference" in that time.. That being said though, there's only a certain amount of roles with a leadership capacity. All good things come in time. At the end of the day though, you're right.. It's about gaming with friends. that's the foundation. If this is goodbye Bergen then I would like to thank you for all the years of service you have given to this community and all the people you helped along the way. If it's not goodbye then I'll see ya on the servers tonight ;)

I think the thread that explained everything was deleted around 4-7 am EST..... before everyone was up haha.

I'll agree with Ichor for now though. I'm not here to judge anyone, you did what you did and I literally didn't care about it by the next night talking to you in vent. If anything this should just pose as a learning experience... You can only tell so many lies to the same people before it becomes suspicious, so just be yourself and we will accept you for whatever that is.

Hey Bergen,

First off I want to say how much I enjoyed gaming with you over the years and I do hope that will continue maybe once things have settled for you. I think you are a good person and that has not changed.

I am sorry if my teasing you over this was too harsh in your opinion. I will say that I would do the same to anyone including the "malcontents" I tend to hang with :) (sorry Blue had to throw that in there). I have considered you a friend in eGO and that has not changed. I don't give a rats ass about your life outside eGO as long as it is a good one, as I want to be happy for you. I do appreciate truth and honesty from friends however and while I will not end a friendship over something so trivial (unless it is for a short period of time and your name is Lungbuster), I will razz people endlessly for it. I would also expect people to do that to me in the same situation and would not think less of them for it, but would hopefully look at what I am doing to cause it. You may come to a different conclusion (that what you did was normal or fine) and that is ok as long as you actually look at the issue and make a decision and do not simply pass it by without consideration. I know Blue may not think I am very introspective but I simply have my compass set to a different north than he does.

I agree with many things being said here, including both what Ichor said and what Mini has said. Looking at your comments here vs your previous I think you are still a little confused on where you fit into eGO, how to act within your role here ect ect. Maybe taking time off would be the best thing for you for now. Trust me when I say I understand what pissing people off in this community is like. I do that on a regular basis from e to Community Managers (just ask Blue, Dominion, OPX Council, Green Light, ChiliDude, Lung...insert name here).

Integrity is huge man, it's not something that people gain easily but it is lost in a flash. If you want respect and regard it will take a little time to get those back. If that is what you want, and you want to keep the friends you have made here, it is definitely possible. Just start with the truth and work your way from there.

Good luck in whatever you decide I hope regardless that it works out for the best for you bud. Take care.

I appreciate what you said about me Blue, I really agree with what you said. I still really appreciate everything that eGO has done for me, thank you Blue and Lung and everyone else who is somewhat understanding of this problem.
 
I have never lied to ego members and can see no reason to lie , was it just vanity or stupidity that made you lie? I think lying undermines all ego members as there was nothing to gain from it. I for one will not forgive any one for lying to us.
Sorry if I am to blunt but that's the way I am.
