"Goodbye to Globia" (thedavmich goodbye letter)

## Introduction

On March 31st, 2020 at exactly 9:32 AM (PST), Globia's world was turned upside down as notorious player thedavmich0134 posted his first of 2 letters of resignation. The contents of this letter are a bit explicit, and clearly show a man in great turmoil. Thedavmich0314 however could not resist the allure of Globia, and returned a short while (less than 24 hours) after this initial resignation. This resurgence would not last long however as the next time he would quit forever would be on February 14, 2021 at 9:30 AM (PST).

Letter of Absence

I, thedavmich am going to take a break on Globia and I have multiple reasons and some of them are personal. I am going to list all of them in as much detail as I can. I will still play on the server until the end of this day in Pacific Time.

**1. Globia's not fun anymore**

Globia seems stale to me as before it was fun and my escape from reality but now, it is boring just build and duel and complain about new players claiming, not really fun anymore and it has gotten boring.

**2. Reorganisation of schedule**

Currently I Wake up around 9-9:30 am and Sleep at 11-12 pm and that leaves me drowsy every morning and late. So I am going to re-organise my schedule to get back on track and more energetic.

**3. Regaining temper**

I have always been bad at controlling my temper and since staying home my temper has gotten worse everywhere so I am going to try getting a break to allow me to calm down.

**4. Growing up**

I am going to need more sleep to grow bigger in life and get better at jobs, with my current schedule I can't do that. With this transition time I will grow up and get better in life.

The next ones are really personal.

**5. Regaining self worth**

I have been on a low self esteem area since February, and I have been very unhappy about myself and really wanting to get better however I can't and I have been constantly thinking about my own worth and purpose every day and once per hour, and I want to stop this charades and regain my self esteem and this leads into the 6th reason.

**6. Depression**

My temper fluctuates a lot but it is mostly questioning my worth and thinking on my own self worth, thinking how I should do something and mostly about thinking why I punish myself and why I am terrible. It is a terrible feeling beeing sad, and I think about my past decisions and regret them fully and I think that I need to actually learn. My depression had led me to play Globia longer and made it much more worse, my sanity has started to go down very much inclucing saying I am insane. I am really wanting to recover and all of this had led me to decide to stop playing Globia for a while.

I would like no "f"s underneath this post and I am going to be away for a month or 2 or so

Until I recover, I say Good Luck and have a great Season 4.

From,

## "The End of the Line" - Letter of Absence 2:

This break would not last long, however, as thedavmich0134 was seen again on the discord mere hours after posting his original 6 theses. For his second and apparent "final" declaration of resignation, thedavmich wanted to show he was SERIOUS about leaving Globia forever (for the second time). On the 14th of February 2021 in the #absence channel on the Globia discord, almost an entire YEAR after his original resignation, thedavmich0134, now under the new alias "FlyingEngingeer", posted his FINAL (for the second time) letter of resignation, which he split into two parts:

### The End of the Line:

"The simple answer is that im quiting. Obviously. However, I want to tell why I am quiting so People know why.

**1. The Server**: The move to 1.14.4 was kind of well, Bad. The server struggled at low player counts and it was comparable to Season 2 Lag.

**2. The Grind:** Slowly, once the more advanced stuff got more known, The grind started to appear. I did not like it, and it essentially became a race for who can grind the longest and not be bored to death.

**3. The Enjoyability**: When I first joined, I wanted to Build and make cool stuff on the server, It went allong well but since season 3 with all the new stuff, I wasn't having fun and my enjoyment went to the floor.

sorry for the spam

I'll post sections 4 and 5 at 9:30 PST 5:30 UTC (*edited*)

then, I'll leave forever"

### Part 2 (Posted 9:30 AM (PST)):

"**4. The Replacement:** Now, the only reason I was playing Globia still was because I did not have any replacement for it, but then I started playing TF2, and it was a blast. I had my fix.

5. **The END:**

Now it is time for a new frontier.

This will be short.

You may think I'll come back.

However, I will not. This is the end of the line.

I say to all of you guys, Au revoir.

From,

thedavmich0134"

## Conclusion:

Thedavmich's journey ended just as it began: largely obscure & a bit sad. No one really knows his current whereabouts, but we can make guesses. In thesis 4 of "The End of the Line", the davmich professed his growing love for a new "replacement" to globia: TF2. It is a widely accepted theory that he resides in the empty lobbies of TF2 to this day. Although this theory is generally accepted, this does not stop people from theorizing...
