Hello everybody. I'll try to keep this brief. I also want to note that what follows is not meant to be an excuse, but rather an explanation.
The past month has been a difficult one for me. I have been under a great deal of stress in several areas, and I suffered an unexpected and extremely painful personal loss. I focused less on league-related matters in order to deal with these real-life events. The voting for league awards was done when I was not in a healthy headspace, and I fully admit that I did not do my due diligence in researching the nominees' qualifications. While I can assure you that my votes were not done with any malice or ill intent, my ballot was done without the proper attention and thought it deserved. For that, I am truly sorry.
I apologize to the users that I have hurt and angered with my carelessness; I imagine I would feel the same way were I in your shoes, and I am sorry for putting you through that.
I apologize to my fellow members of the Head Office. You've had to deal with much of the fallout from this, and I'm sorry that my actions resulted in more stress and work for you.
And finally, I apologize profusely to the league as a whole. One of my main goals when I first joined HO was to help build trust between the league and the office, as HO had had a negative reputation among the league's users. Clearly I have not only failed in that regard, but I have undermined my and the rest of the office's efforts to accomplish that goal. To everyone in the league, I am deeply sorry.
With all of this in mind (both my personal struggles and my actions here), I have decided to step down from my position with the Head Office. You all deserve leadership that can give this league the time and attention it needs, and I cannot be that individual any longer. My hope in doing this is that I will be replaced by an individual who can serve the league to the best of their ability, and who will improve the community in every regard. I understand that this will not solve the problems I have already caused, and I am fully prepared to accept any punishment that HO seems fit to level against me for this. I also understand that this might not satisfy the individuals who I have wronged, and so I extend an invitation to those parties to reach out to me personally here or on Discord (terriBLMhippo#4928) in order to air grievances and have an honest discussion about where to go from here.
I love this league. That's why I joined the Head Office in the first place: because I wanted to make this league and this community better for everyone. And I still love this league. But I recognize that other people maybe love the league a little less now because of my actions, and that upsets me greatly. I'm sorry, and I want to fix the problems I've caused.
