Hey everyone, I really suck at these. I've been playing PRO since 2016, and I think it's finally time to retire. PRO has been a huge part of my life for nearly a decade. The community, the player culture, drama, events, dumb threads, everything, I'm really grateful for. Here's a small introduction to what I do in PRO before I officially retire. How I play the game I'm a jack of all trades, I enjoy every aspect of PRO. Hunting, PvP (Personally love Draft!), trading, conversing with the community, joining and hosting events and tournaments, helping newer players, however my biggest enjoyment from PRO is making content and working on projects. Some of my projects were never posted, some were discontinued, some are ongoing, some were still being worked on in the background. My projects and other stuff My biggest project that's still ongoing is ofc New Leaf. Shoutout to everyone in the guild, I would be nothing without you guys. Having the opportunity to lead and manage one of the longest lasting guilds in PRO was an amazing experience. To newer players who are considering creating a guild, I say make it, don't let others discourage you. Set a goal and work towards it. Rare Candy Media (RCM) was a passion project of mine. I enjoy the idea of reporting any and all things to the community. There are atm, 12 issues of RCM you can read in the General Talk Sub-forum if you're interested. Thank you for the art and editing that was provided by @Dos3d and @Walkyrion for the help in this project and everyone who has contributed one way or another at one point. I really would've loved to continue making articles each week. Giving money away until Astrella comes out. As the title says. It was fun seeing how people would react. It was a mix of disbelief, gratitude, shock, and genuine curiosity. I think due to PRO's scam culture, it made it hard for me to randomly give money to strangers. The most common outcome was the player asking "Why?" About 10% of 275 people called me a scammer and left the PM, but the majority of the giveaway winners were shocked and thankful after I explained what I was doing. This project had to stop for personal reasons that didn't involve money. Then I farmed 999 Rattata hair and made a "Buff Magnet Pull" thread one of the most liked threads on the forum. Idk why, I just did it. https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/234573-i-farmed-999-rattata-hair-what-happens-next-will-shock-you/ https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/228876-magnet-pull-needs-buff/#comment-1361546 The biggest project I was working on that never came out and is still ongoing was asking people what there favorite part of PRO was. The goal was to ask 200 players. 100 from Silver and 100 from Gold what their favorite part of PRO was. As of right now, I'm only on the 87th person. This one was very interesting. It doubled as a social experiment. I would PM random people on the server with the question "What do you enjoy most about PRO? Hunting, PvP, forms, quests, events, staff, the community etc." Pretty simple question right? I noticed though, right around the quarter point, that the majority of people were just giving short responses. Once I altered my question and removed the examples, people started giving me better answers. The most common answer in order was the community, followed by hunting, then forms / cosmetics, followed by PvP, events, and lastly quests (Wonder why, most recent quests are unique, don't require the player to check every tree, and provide just enough clues). Here were some of the best answers I got: I also did host some tournaments: PRO Tour S2: https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/187119-pro-tour-s2/ PRO Tour S3: https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/190792-pro-tour-s3/ Guild showcases and spotlights. A project I was working on but never released on the forum. This one didn't hit with me. I tried contacting leaders of smaller guilds to build their community via an interview and highlighting what makes their guild special. The leaders / officers would either never respond or what I assume to be quitting the game. I did interview other popular guilds which was supposed to be an article for RCM. Reason for retiring I'm at a point in my life where I have to choose wisely what I spend my free time on. I'm not burnt out in PRO, I still have a lot of fuel in me and several big projects in my mind I want to work on, but it's just the fact that I can't commit to PRO as much as I used to. I have to make a sacrifice, and I chose to drop PRO. It doesn't mean PRO never meant anything to me, it's the opposite, PRO was everything for me, and I have to take a step back. It's been fun Over the 9 years I've played, I've seen many people come and go. Staff members, players, friends. People got banned, people quit, some had to focus irl. People changing. PRO's come a long way, trust me, not just the game itself, but also the people working on it. This is 100% an unbiased opinion, I know some people think it's cool to hate on staff, but learn to give them a break sometime, they're human. Same goes for staff members, we all just want the best for the game. I trust that Wally does too. Not bringing up past issues and going off topic (Make a separate thread if you have to), not trying to glaze either, but I feel like over the past few months, he has improved with trying to communicate things to players. From my neutral perspective, that's what I've seen. Try to respect that at least. But yeah this game will continue to change for the better, I believe that, and I will always be proud to be part of the community. I hope that by sharing my projects, I inspire some of you to do the same. This isn't goodbye forever, I'll still be on Discord don't worry, I'm always available to chat, just hmu. I do wish you all the best, and hope you have as much fun as I did. Peace!

@M4dsonFor future auctions, please be sure to clearly set the end time in the initial post as stated in the auction rules. @YayozamaBe sure to specify the amount you are bidding. Bids such as "raise" or "+10k" are not valid bids and would be voided. However, because the current bid is "900k" no damage has been dealt, and the auction will continue with the C.O. of 900k. Please change your end time as well to be the 19th, as we assume this was a mistake from your side, as you meant the auction to be held for 24 hours. All the best -Opacity
