Yesterday (or the day before in your zone), you announced on discord: "Thanks @everyone for all the support! I did a trial run for a few days and this calls for an official retirement from CCSW and the GDW. I may go on to make an edit or two but I won't be the state that I have been for the past few years.  In addition to a new game I have been playing along with all of my schoolwork, there's no other possible way that I can pursue the duties of cleaning up the levels pages as I have been doing.  If you would like me to demote myself (by passing over my rights to someone else) or keep my rights and promote another bureaucrat, I'd be happy to do so.".

I read your 'unofficial' retirement announcement, though I might wait for an updated official one that will be posted as a blog or a Discussions post (newly released feature on Wikia). You however stated that you will be occasionally here, but not at a level like before, especially during the earlier times, the 2015-2016 winter (when I first became particularly active).

I thank you for being an exemplary mainspace editor, doing all forms of mainspace editing including completing new content, and performing janitorial duties such as maintaining formatting consistency and fixing grammatical mistakes. You have done your job well during your time and that might even serve as a means as a destressor, as you went through all these social issues you had during high school and possibly uni.

You are the only user in CCSW to ever reach 100K edit, and that might have been held for over a year (You are actually at 128K, I am only at 6K). The immediate runner-up, Roseturnip is at 91K, is Moderately Active in activity, but he has lost must interest in playing the game. You also finished with an extremely high mainspace edit percentage of 89.62%.

I looked at your edit history. Most of your contributions are mainspace, are done to maintain formatting and grammatical consistency within large sets of pages (especially Episode/Level pages), and that means you read almost all the mainspace section of this wiki during your free time (which has dwindled for you due to university work). You did make minor edits in JAN 2018, and you did have large inactive periods (you were once a Platinum Badge earner), but during your time you contributed you still made tens of edits or so. You truly deserve a place as a Wiki Bureaucrat here, as they are users who have contributed substantially in forming the wiki, or a major section of the wiki. Though 6 bureaucrats is too much in my opinion, and that I might hold off when I should be bureaucrat, I still recommend that you stay as a Bureaucrat for now; right now there are more administrators than rollback and mods as well.

You can comment and read on my user activity system.

For me, I have finished everything regarding extracting configs and detecting redesigns, but during my free time I am continuing to make further improvements in case if the wiki became substantially less active, such that I may have to monopolize the wiki. Furthermore, I am making plans to move on to other projects (especially those to help with math and economics subjects) in the future, as well as shifting my focus to Candy Crush Soda Saga (the sequel of this game, I rarely play it though). Unfortunately, the wiki for that game is now in poor shape, as it was monopolized by another bureaucrat with a similar editcount, but he also tracks updates and redesigns like me; he suddenly became inactive just after his 100K edit without announcement. I may have to move on to CCSS and extract and analyze configs for the wiki, but right now I am far behind in this game. You also mentioned another game in your announcement; which game is that? If possible, can you build or improve the game's wiki?

I hope in the near future, you can either stay to become bureaucrat albeit at a substantially reduced activity level, or, when the time is right and you forecast yourself to be sufficiently inactive, make plans for other users in the future. Hope you enjoy an extraordinarily exciting and eventful 2018 and your university studies!
