Well, either dudeguy or Emp's judging this one, because I got an announcement.

I'm basically quitting AG. Why? Well, coincidentally, I just turned old enough to legally be on the site. Yes, I turned 13 a few days ago. I'll even say it in it's own paragraph.

13.

A 12 year old has been running the haiku contest the past year. I was 11 when I joined the site. For the first few months I was very immature that got me 2 temp bans. I am very mature for my age now, and really you guys helped me.

This also explains why I couldn't handle some situations, like the one with the religion topic. I didn't take that well.

Now, I'm leaving because of the mass depression this forum radiates. No one is online, and I doubt many people are gonna see this post either. I'm not saying I'm changing the password, deleting my bio or closing the comments, just that Armor Games won't be the first site I log into when I'm at a computer. I'll check back once in a while, but that means that I won't be judging the contest. Sorry.

So, there you have it.

It would've been nice to know that a few days ago. I was free this weekend.

Now the earliest I can judge is Friday/Saturday (college: lots of homework). Dudeguy hasn't been on in a while, so I doubt he'd get it done sooner.

This situation is hilarious.

It's time for a bad haiku.

Misguided dispute
Arrogance surrounds their words
They think they're clever

I can get it done by Tuesday, if thats allright with Emp and everyone else. Just as a one time thing, top five affair.

I can't really explain that. I look like I should be in high school.

Thank you Mav. I appreciate it.

Thanks to all of you guys. This is the first online thing I've ever been a part of. Before I was immature, stupid, and not knowing how the internet works. With you guys, you told me my rights and wrongs. I'm part of other communities now. And thank you for that.

Much obliged. As a reward, I'll let you select the theme for the next round I judge (which could be soon if dudeguy doesn't show up).

@acmed, one last thing before you leave. If you judge contests in those other forums you're part of but you wanna quit them too, tell them you're quitting the day the judging is due, not 4 days after!
But still, it's a shame to see an active member go.

Good job saving the day Mav, sure you don't wanna be full time judge for this or the poetry contest?
Pretty please? :3
