I'm done with MB (at least a few months)

If you've seen me recently you've probably noticed my increasing level of frustration for the game and speedrunning in general. The truth is, I don't see entertainment in it at this point, it's not fun playing levels with the stress of people always competing with you whenever they want to, and at this point my schedule forces that to always be the case. I will come back when I find things to enjoy in the game. Bye.

Best of luck for the future, Xeef. We'll miss you.

speedrunning, screw that. it's getting unfair here, the only things you can really tackle are other user modifications, building your own levels/mods and playing multiplayer levels, otherwise it's frustrating and unfair, I side with you a little here

Sorry to hear that, the truth is that I also will not be as active in this community or playing the game as I was over the summer as I’m fully committed on my schoolwork. Best of luck to you.

Aw, we'll hope to see you around again sometime -- looks like I'll have to man the fort down as one of just two 14 year olds for the time being.

But yeah I'll miss you until we meet again, it's been fun finally doing a bit of voicechat a few months ago, and you don't need to worry about the competitive aspect -- you're already well on your way to becoming an MB legend as you're still very young.

Cya bro

you know I'm just siding with him about the whole frustration about speedrunning and the stress of people always competing with you, i express some unfairness in speedrunning. not saying he did. i'm siding with him on his opinions about speedrunning & how he feels right now. yes, some aspects of speedrunning do take a lot of skill, strategy and patience to achieve it, and i can see why it could result as "unfair" and/or "frustrating" to some people

otherwise marbleblast is a great game and its fun to build levels and modify gold into a new modification, thats why I'm here but this community is just getting downright awful from my experience being here, kinda why i dont come online that often

Trust me, Xedron. If I would quit playing Marble Blast because I felt frustrated to compete against other players, it would be a very long time I wouldn't be there.

Aside that, I totally understand your decision and have no rights to challenge it.
You really are an emblematic player, your variety of runs, pathways and creativity finding them always amazed me, and meeting you again would be a great pleasure.

Until next time, Xeef.

godspeed, xeef. i'll be the north texas ambassador while you're gone

also yeah jiquor has a point but the thread IS kinda derailing a bit

Sad to see you go, but if that´s how the game is making you feel it´s probably for the best.

Best of luck for the future!

Needs to be said that this community is the most welcoming and inclusive online community ever.

Xedron: good luck, try to embrace your schedule!

I'm sorry to see you go, Xeef. You've been a friend, a teacher, and an inspiration for me.
Don't be gone too long!
