Hi, everyone, it's me again.

So for the last week, everyone's been talking about me leaving sometime soon, and... well here I am. Today I'm finally leaving.

When I first became a mapper in 2013, I was really excited to join your group. I had been watching mapping videos with my friends for years and I was the first to do a video myself out of all of them. My videos early on were bad, I know, and even today I still make some mistakes, but I didn't really care. I was just really excited to make my own countries with my own wars, my own rulers and my own people.

I remember fondly last June when I became an admin. I was actually pretty surprise when Batran gave the title to me, but he believed in me and I was glad that he did.

Since then, I've helped protect this wikia against many vandals and mappers, such as Trio, the Arab Group, and Batikan, to name a few. It's been a long road, and I've enjoyed a ton of it. We all have rises and falls, but normally we can just get back up and live to fight another day.

I remember the first Mapperdonian week, how everyone didn't really celebrate and was either just playing map games or being on vacation to some tropical island. It was still a fun experience to look back upon. I remember the countless wars that I've been in. Against Arcy, against Trio, against Jabril, Ammar, Usman, and a ton more. I've also deleted dozens of pages that were useless. Not so heroic, and it's kind of the crappy part of being an admin.

Now for the subject of how long I'll be away.

The thing is.... I'll probably be away for forever. Personal reasons is why, to say the least. But I'm not going to let my channel just sit there and rot. I'm giving my channel to TheOneLeggedFascist, a good friend of mine who I've actually taught how to map myself. It took a while but he's great now, I promise you guys. He's even helped me in some videos since November, we've been exchanging frames, choosing the war style, adding effects, etc. He maps a lot like me now, but he has his own little style that makes his videos just a bit different from everyone else's, which is something that I like.

There's just a few things I wish you could do. In the times I have temporarily left before, (I actually thought I would stay gone forever but I always came back before) I've made lists similar to this. But this'll be the pernament one that I wish for you to do.
 * 1) Choose your admins carefully. I couldn't stress this more on you guys, especially the more expirienced admins, Batran and MOAP. One day I'd like Tolf to replace me as an admin, and I want him respected like how I have been.
 * 2) Keep Factions and Wars out. I've been saying this since March 2014, this is a WIKIA, not a BATTLEZONE. You guys might not have realised it yet, but THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. (lol.) I say you should keep the two laws where both are not allowed here, or else you will face a ban  with no warnings.
 * 3) Don't be jerks to each other. Please guys, if you could do only one of my requests, just do this one. You guys have been jerks to each other for no reason at all. If you've read down this far, you're probably not a jerk and you don't skip through a person's final goodbye message. So just don't be jerks.
 * 4) This is my last request for you guys. Remember who we really are. Remember what unifies us. We're Mapperdonia. We have a love for maps, history and geography. Every single one of us (besides the ones who aren't into HoE). I hope you guys don't turn mapping itself into trash, as well as what this wikia once was. I hope you guys will be working on videos for a long time to come.

Thank you everyone for your support, and I have no idea how I got your respect after all of this time. This will be my last message. I left all the chats in Skype and I won't talk there, and I'm giving my steam account to just Tolf. Thank you everyone. Slán.
