A fond farewell

I have been asked by the President and Minister of Defense to resign my position. Your new Commander will be Bloodger. I wish him much success.
During my tenure I have had the pleasure of working some of the finest military minds in the game – Xenophanes, Joshua Hoss, Sir Valaro Volcrum, Kazeal, Bloomfield – as well as some extremely talented and dedicated officers – Codster0987, matan9010, Blanemcc, 70md, Hadorban, yuvy15, Conchis1, yibgib, Gavin Wax, Maho oham, Lokelindas, lobe, RED_BARON, mrsjholiday, Daniel Hachawer, Proxer, and many, many others.
I began in the eIDF last fall, as head of the non-deployable force of that time (Golani Brigade). When the force was reorganized I was made head of the Defense Corps. I did my best to get the DC forces organized and disciplined. I tried to improve communication and make the eIDF more open and welcoming to citizens from both language groups. I stressed the need to translate all communications, and actively set out to find bilingual soldiers who could be promoted to officer positions. My goal was to eventually have a Hebrew speaking officer in charge of the DC.
When I became the head of the eIDF as a whole I continued those goals. Then the announcement that the game would be changing to v2 came out. That became our number 1 priority. For more than 3 months now we have been working on a plan to be prepared for v2. We completely restructured not only our forces (where people are) but how we do things as well (functional groupings and teams, methods of communication). The change has not always gone smoothly, but we have gotten the basics in place. We have 2-3 weeks left before v2 becomes a reality. I had hoped to put the finishing touches on the structure and shepherd the force through the first few weeks of the new system. Unfortunately, I will not be able to complete my vision.
It will be up to Bloodger to carry on. I don’t know what his plans may be, but I do know nothing he wants to accomplish will happen unless everyone supports him and helps him. I wish all of you the best of luck. It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve.

WTF??????
Good luck in you are future goals maelyn,
You were an excellent leader.
Thank you for the pleasant words.
"I have been asked by the President and Minister of Defense to resign my position."
WHAT??? 😮 u certainly deserve a standing ovation. one of the most worthy ppl in this game!
*tears up a li'l bit*
Maelyn for President in July ?
🙁
are this 2 people insane ? (PK and whoever is minister of defense ) maelyn is one of our best player in the whole erepublik and this 2 ask her to resign ? why ?
This saddens me. 🙁
WTF!
MAJOR WTF!
I'm losing my trust in some people..
Maelyn, thank you very much for all you've done! I am very very sorry that the officials in this country treat you like this. 🙁
Maelyn, you have always been a dedicated, loyal and capable soldier. I'm proud to have had you stick with me in the US Mobile Infantry, South African Shock Troopers and then finally the Israeli Defense Forces.
If you want to, you can join me on my last journey before I leave this game to.
To Everyone Else: If I was the "Father of the Israeli Defense Forces" as some have called me, Maelyn is easily the Mother. She has worked with and nurtured the IDF for a long time and gets stuff done. She deserves nothing short of total respect.
@SVV: Are you hitting on Maelyn by calling yourself the father and her the mother? 😉
Just sayin. . .
@This article: WTF? Asking you to resign? Well, isn't that just the #1 dumbass move of the year?
PK, don't make me regret voting for you. . .
You are treating her as if she is a god or something... way over reacting in my opinion.
One being charge over a position all time damaging the country since it prevent others from having the job and learning it... its good she finally ended her office and it should have happend long ago.
Thank you for all time and dedication, you are surely loved here and appreciated, for all others relax a bit with this comments.
We're literally weeks away from the biggest change to ever happen in eRep, and we react by changing our horses in the middle of a race? This couldn't possibly have waited three weeks? *sigh*
@Sadeh: Lobe explains it quite well. She's no god, but she knows a hell of a lot more about this than some new guy to the position. It's just a stupid move to take at the moment. Right now, at such a crucial time, sharing the experience of responsibility isn't a good idea. . .we need experienced leaders working behind the scenes.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OMFG elianna u... rock for real, u have no chance to understand why probably but few people will... "experienced leaders working behind the scenes" damn girl ur totally right.
Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to go take a much deserved vacation for a bit. 🙂
Maelyn i salute you still. ever since we served in what was it, the operation right before ww3 broke out. the greece one, anyways best of luck to ya
That would have been Operation Mighty Aphrodite. Love you too, Blazing! Nice to see you're still around!
Maelyn, you were one of the best Generals I have ever had the honor of serving with. Ignore Sadeh's comments, he couldn't plan a strategy or run a military corps if his life depended on it. I am sad to see you go. You did far more for the eIDF than SVV and I ever did (no offense SVV). If you are looking for something to do hit SVV and me up stateside.
Sadeh's last comments pretty much betray his whole strategem: ignore eIsrael when it continues to exist without him, then ridicule it when it gets into trouble and doesnt fall down at his feet and beg for his guidance. How pathetic.
U two just prove to be... stupid. You clearly have no idea what am I talking about yet assume I mean bad things...gosh please lightning strike them.
Private joke are private I can laugh when I see one, why do u have to get insulted from everything?
Than I call a faux pas on you Sadeh. Private jokes are best kept that way because they apply within a limited scope of people. When used incorrectly they make the user come off as either rude or an idiot.
I salute you Maelyn.
Sadeh, lol, you are talking about someone being in charge a long time being detrimental to a nation. Wow, lol, just wow. :3 Mister rage-quit-because-I-didn't-win-an-electi on. 😛 You left because you didn't win and then you come back so you can be Mr. Bigshot hero and possibly get back into power. Your plan is obvious and foolish just like everything else you do, mate.
This country is going from bad to worse with each passing day... Maelyn you were the best no matter who takes your places...
Thanks again everyone. 🙂 A couple of clarifying points: I had intended (and told PK this last month when he first won) to remain as head of the eIDF until v2 was implemented then resign. So if this had not occurred, I woud not have been in charge for more than another month anyway. Also, late Monday evening (my time - may have been early Tuesday for some of you) PK did offer to let me return as a sort of consultant to the eIDF, but I declined the offer.
@Sadeh - when you were pres you said you would never consider having anyone but me in charge - what changed your mind?
Maelyn, possibly because he wants to put someone he can control better in place?
Bingo.
