Well, today's been fun. Half a foot of rain in 36 hours means that northern Illinois has been declared a state of emergency, my usual five minute drive home took just under an hour, and my street is the furthest east you can go in my town right now - everything else is completely flooded out.
That is what I had to drive through. That is the only street going north-south open for five miles.
Oh and it's supposed to keep raining.
So I wanted to pop in an say hi, and also apologize for the long absence. I know the RP section is fairly laid back, and that I'm not actively hindering anyone, so no one will likely feel put-upon by my lack of activity. But I still feel guilty over it, since it was a KMC commitment I had made.
Fact is, I liked being gone, and hated the time I spent here after so many years. It was becoming an obligation - one I unwittingly extended to the RP section by becoming involved. Clearly I got into the RP stuff several years too late, as my interest in KMC was beginning to wane.
I don't want to feel that obligation anymore. So while on an individual, day-to-day basis, I enjoyed the RP stuff, I don't think it's something I want to continue. I hope everyone understands.
I know this won't affect the larger campaign(s), but I had at least one smaller one that is likely in limbo, and for that I feel bad. Let me know if my character's presence is needed to resolve anything with this, and we'll talk. Otherwise, thanks.

More my reaction to Newjak's news. I knew the Light-siders wouldn't last without me.

Scroll up for my actual response to being back for the first time in a while. I want to make sure you and Ush see it.
Oh! I missed that. But no worries! At least in this case you let us know that you're ending your time with us. We've had a multitude of players just up and vanish, then show up to restart, then vanish again. Without mentioning the fact that they were disappearing or referring to it when they returned.
Such is life.
Yeah, I hate to be that guy, but it would be guilt that brings me back (despite the fact that I quite enjoyed aspects of the RPing). I was a machine on KMC for so many years...just a constant presence in everything that I had a hand in - modding, comic discussion, comic tourneys, signature forum/signature BZs and tourneys, religion and GDF - but I'm just really tired of spending time on the internet these days. It's not even burnout, just a desire to change slowly but permanently.
Anyone think this'll convince Boss Hin-Hon in the Bannermen game.
"Surely the fact they have asked me to come before you, bring fourth a more Galaxy-wide effort to bring the Naboo, and the Gunguns as a people further into the Republic as friends and allys. I am a Jedi, a Guardian of Peace and justice through-out the Republic. I represent and serve not only the Naboo, but the combined wishes of the Republic, and that includes the Gunguns. Surly you do not wish there to be conflict once more. The differences between your people and the Naboo has lasted many many years and finally those differences are being settled. Do you choose to live in that past where your life is controlled by the past, or do you wish a brighter future for your entire world? Civil war between the tribes of your people could begin again as these differences rise up once more, as it did thousands of years ago. It is time to leave the past behind. Remember your heritage, remember what you have acheived, and move forward."
