My Resignation

Post by Mustafa »

If any of you haven't noticed ingame, I am not in TTI anymore. There was some confusion as to my intentions, and all of my access was stripped (which is why I am posting this in General Discussion rather than private forums). Before I go into explaination, I'd like to say that this was by far not an easy decision for me at all. I have come to consider many of you as close friends and enjoy the chats we've had.

The corp I've left to is RONA-KIA (RONA's military corp). The main reason for this is that a couple of my good real life friends decided to join up in EVE, and they joined RONA. The secondary reason is that many ex-TTI KME members (athre, xoansha, brom, zamajin, grayson, etc) have joined RONA as well. Many of the people in TTI now don't remember KME, but the older members will. We were a tight group until the Venal War came about and caused many of them to leave the game. So, as you might imagine, deciding whether or not to stay was a very difficult decision.

Back to the confusion caused. Apparently my actions caused severe suspicion, some of which I can say is justified, but I am still put out that I wasn't fully trusted. But considering what happened with Anla, I guess I have to be more sympathetic to the course of action taken. I will stand by the fact that I was in no way going to engage in any kind of theft whatsoever. I'm sure that a few members could vouch for me that I am not that kind of person and would never want to burn my bridges with you guys.

In my year in TTI I've met and inter-acted with so many people; some more than others. To the people that I consider good friends, please don't take any offense to my leaving, as I said I was torn for some time as to what I should do. And to those that I don't know so well, I regret that we didn't have the chance to know each other better. Please accept my apologies.

Gunny- You are a solid leader and I have faith that TTI will continue to rebuild and become a super-power in the future. Your have a great base of pilots and businessmen (as I know you are a aware of) to complete that goal.

Marq- I really enjoyed playing with you, I just wish we'd have had more oppurtunities to fly by each other's side in battle, but nonetheless it was always fun having our discussions in chat. Keep up the great work running RI, you may not get a lot of outward praise for it, but know that everyone appreciates all the work you do to keep the business running. You are a key component to TTI. Hopefully I can keep doing business with you in the future, even with your huge markups, lol :p

Max- You are definitely a great guy to have around, keeping everyone in line and making sure things get done. Your videos rock and I'll be sure to promote them to the RONA guys whenever they come out :) You and I see eye to eye on many things, our chats were always interesting. Good luck with school and everything.

I'll miss the arguments with Mark A about excessive WCS on BSes :p and the jokes being cracked on TS, I'll miss it all. Whatever happens, please don't doubt my honor, I am not one to backstab. For the record, RONA holds TTI in fairly high regard from what I gather, so perhaps sometime there will be diplomatic relations. At any rate TTI, good luck with the C4, with profits, with recruitment, and everything else. If any of you want to chat about this, you can PM me or Evemail / convo me ingame. I'll keep in touch. With that, I leave you all with a quote, and then I bid you adieu:

"The past is set in stone- there is no way around that; never fear though, as the future is always full of new surprises".

EDIT: I also forgot one last thing, I currently own 50 shares in TTI. Since I'm not sure whether or not I am allowed to own these shares outside of TTI, please organize the sale of them at anything over 100k a piece Alumina and send the isk to my ingame char. Thanks in advance.

OMG

Mustafa, so sorry to see you go. Your kind words were very touching, and I can do nothing but offer them back to you. You will be missed very much, and when a friend leaves the corporation a little part of you goes with him too. I wish you the very best of luck in University also.

Speaking as an ex-RONA Ranger (before the RONA-KIA days) I can tell you they have some nice guys. Artegg, KIA Stumpy, KIA Eddz, all top pilots. Im sure you will fit in there, and I am sure you will have a good time, good luck in that area too my friend.

Adieu it is, and I am sure that our paths will cross again in-game.

Sorry to see you go Mustafa. It always sucks to see old times leave the corp. Please drop into the Taggart channel from time to time.

About your access being removed: That was my desision, and mine alone. I removed the access to your alts that you gave them before you left the corp to be safe, like you said. I, and the other people in the corp channel that noticed you where no longer in TTI, where more concireded about your account being hacked, than you stealing from the corp.

In any case, have fun with RONA-KIA and say hello to the Ex-TTI / KME (I still remember it :) ) people that have moved their.

:shock:

First things first: I am terribly sorry to see you leave Taggart.

I am also very shocked as you were one of the longest tenured Taggart members and one of my most trusted. At the same time, I totally respect your decision to leave and join friends of yours elsewhere. This is a game after all and each of us need to get as much enjoyment out of our time in-game as possible. I have always had a very high opinion of the men in KIA and consider many of them friends. Perhaps your joining them will be a catalyst for TTI and KIA to renew our old friendship. I also have a lot of respect for Robyone and his outfit. How could I forget KME? I’m happy that I was not an Exec when they were having problems with the past leadership of TTI… bad times on both sides from my understanding… So with you joining so many people quality people, it’s hard for me to be sad that you are leaving Taggart. I truly hope that you have a great time with your new family.

I would appreciate it if you could find time for a private chat with me one of these days. Let me get your un-filtered opinions of Taggart now that you don’t “work for me”. :P

About your departure and having all access stripped… we really had no clue. All of this could have been avoided if you had simply let me know you were leaving. With out that we had to assume the worst ofc (thank you Anla). You had posted on our forums that you were going to be taking a leave of absence from EVE for a little bit. So when the guys saw you logged in, but not in the Corp chat… seeing you in Rona-Kia… and looking at your access logs to find out that a few min. prior to your leaving you gave full access to your alts… sure, it looked bad. I trust you completely… as is evidenced that you had access to everything… but who had gained access to your accounts? Did you sell them and forget to tell us? Were you keystroke hacked? I’ve been getting weird e-mails to my GunnyP@Taggarttransdimensional.com account for a few days now… did someone get to your accounts that way? We simply had no clue, so we stripped everything until the dust settled. Even my eve-mail message to you assumed the best, but still let you know that I needed to know what was going on. I hope you understand our paranoia.

Be well my friend... please say hello to the men of KIA for me and don’t be a stranger.

Don't know what to say..... I guess I could start with a sigh of relief. I was so fighting off the suspicion that you would turn into a corp thief so thank you for finishing off all doubts man and also thank you for understanding our paranoia. Your a great guy and good luck on both your new ventures ingame and your exams mate. I hang out in the Sales@TTI channel which we'll be opening up to the public very soon I presume, so stop by some time :).

:shock: My huge markups??? :P Yeah, yeah I know but its only a few things :P.

Take care man and I hope to see you around :)

Sorry to see you go Mustafa. In any game, as in life, we continue to grow and sometimes it's in different directions.

Unless he absolutely wants them sold, I think we should allow Mustafa to keep his shares. I think it a logical "first step" toward a public offering which is, I hope anyway, where we want to take them eventually anyway.

Yes, ofc... Mustafa, you can keep your shares and keep getting monthly dividends on them. They will however turn into Non-Voting shares. I'm sure you can understand that.

Be well my friend and I'll see you in game.

Farewall Mustafa. You've been a Pillar in our community for a long time, and i'm glad your leaving on such a positive note.

Of course i hope you'll return to us, but if you dont: farewell, good luck with school, and gaming in your new corp!

Sorry to see you go :cry:.

Say hi to the ex-KME guys from me, I still have fond memories of those early days. I guess the positive side of someone leaving in such good standing is it helps build relationships with other corps, so stay in touch :).

Good luck in your new endevours - RONA-KIA sounds like a good choice, if you do have to go for 2nd best :lol:.

Best regards - Mark A.
