What do Kurai, Nils, Huey, and Gale have in common?
Life. That's what.
Consider this my resignation and my departure. I've had a really good seven years with you guys. Eight, it might even be. I've watched the lot of you grow up, some have moved on, some have stuck around. And now it's
my turn to move on.
This isn't fueled by any malice or any ill sentiment towards anybody. You guys have been great to me. I'm leaving because my life is going places. I read a really good article recently, and it just kind of clicked with a lot of things that have been going off in my mind for a while now.
(You can read it too if you want. It's good.) And I realize, just like the article says, part of me has to die. I have to give up something to make other things happen. I'm going back to school. I need to focus on doing something with my job. I need to focus on my musical ambitions. I need to start doing something for myself.
And while I say I'm leaving... you know, I'm not really
leaving. I'm shutting down AIM and I'm pretty much done with any obligations here. But my phone number's not changing. I'm not shutting down Skype -- if you want to get in touch with me, I'm pretty much always on there. I'm available
on-demand. I'm finishing up game 4, hell, I might even join in on future games now that I have my thread notification utility I wrote up on my phone working again. My characters are not dead, they're not even going away. I'd love to keep writing them if they become relevant. My event characters, if needed, still around, I'm still playing them.
What this means for you is that about 90% of my presence is going away. I'm not disappearing like certain other people have done before. I'm focusing on my life. You know where to find me.
End of an era, people. It's been rad. Keep on riding, FEF.
