Hereby, I, Gustaf, President of the Atlas Forum hand in my resignation. I wish my successor the best of luck in his endeavours.

I am not leaving fantasy politics, but I don't intend to run for office.

(I will explain my actions in more detail later, but I'm off to bed soon so this is gonna be it for now...).

I will now go into more details on this subject.

First of all, I wish to apologize to those who have supported me, both in my campaign and during the time I served. I remained in office longer than I otherwise would have, perhaps even too long, because I felt resigning would be letting you down. However, fantasy government simply isn't for me. I don't really find it to be any fun and it was being too time-consuming. I didn't feel like I had the time and I furthermore did not actually like spending time doing it. I knew I was not doing a good job and I didn't feel too keen on doing it any better. In the end I decided that it was better for me to resign than to remain in office.

I tried to work against the expansion of fantasy government in the past. That's why I joined the UAC and that was in great part why I ran for president. I gave up on that idea a long time ago. There are two ways to affect society; voice and exit. I tried the first one, now I will vote with my feet. I will leave fantasy government altogether, though I will still vote. I know many of you do like the current arrangements, and that's fine by me. If some people enjoy it I'm happy, it's just that I don't myself.

All I would like to ask is that the current cabinet is allowed to remain in place, since they have been a great cabinet (the exception being Mr. Fresh who has expressed the same feelings as myself). Great thanks to you guys, especially Ford who has done a tremendous job.

So, finally, I apologize to all for my actions and say good-bye to fantasy government, something I believe will be for the best for us both. I have no hard feelings against anyone and I'm not bitter (thought it better to point this out explicitly, just in case Wink ).

Thank you, it was fun, for a while at least. Smiley

I will remain as moderator as long as the forum wants me to.

I will confess to sometimes have missed special elections and the such. Also there is the time difference to be taken into account. Perhaps a notification would help in such cases. The key problem is that elections are always held on week-ends, and I'm usually not at home then. If there is anyone else who wants this job, by all means. I'm prepared to step down at any moment.

But, since I don't have any other fantasy government stuff to take care about I will have more time to take care of the sticking now.
