Good Day folks!
It is a pleasure to speak with you today. This is a notification, but it isn't a sob story. =D
Recently someone approached me for some ideas and let me tell you! I was happy to give up some ideas, but it got me to thinking (it was something they said in their initial PM) - I've appeared a little lost. I had essentially disappeared. That was not my intention.
Usually every day or every other day I do log into the site to see if I had any PMs - typically I get notifications on discord but for some reason, those notifications also disappeared. So here's the news... I do log in quite a lot and I lurk. But many of you might have noticed, there haven't been any posts by me or that I haven't created a character to use - this is all true. But I haven't left.
At the end of the last timeline, I did a blitz. I had posted a lot and quickly, enough that might even give our resident post crazy @Nefieslab a run for his money! (Okay, probably not really.) It was taxing to be sure but don't for a second think I didn't like it. I really enjoyed it and some of those posts were such a blast to write and were (in my opinion) really good quality posts. When the new timeline started I wanted to take just a couple of weeks off to recharge, and to allow the mad rush of new characters to die down a little before I post some (our character mods were no doubt swamped and may have appreciated one less character to look at haha) but, as time progressed I got a little busy and when I came on I sometimes just looked at the screen - not because I didn't have any ideas, it was just I didn't have any "right" ideas for my situation and to fit in. (True, probably a stupid thing to say since there is not exactly any "wrong" ideas out there.) And I just didn't put it together.
Second, to the break, I've been a little on edge - a little uneasy; because I knew what would be coming but I just didn't know when it was coming. I had suspected my life was going to be a little mish-mashed for a while, and I knew that this year - 2019 - would not be a repeat of 2018. What do I mean? Well, you're impatient but I'm getting to that! Probably.
Okay.
Actually getting to it now...
So things have evolved this year and I have received confirmation of what I've been waiting for at the end of January, so now I have a good idea of what this, Unfortunately, this timeline I will be sitting out because in May I will become unavailable for an extensive period of time.
I have been given an opportunity and I will need to crush that opportunity. However, it is going to require me to be away for a minimum of 6 months, and that's assuming all goes according to plan - if not 6 will turn into 8 or 10 months. However, once this time has passed I will also need a month or two to get settled because completing this will result in me moving to a whole new province and starting a whole new life - and that in itself is scary but also exciting.
So a slightly better idea of what the opportunity is, well it's training with an iconic Canadian symbol and will result in me having a better life for me and my girl since it will guarantee me a career that I have been looking to achieve for so long. While I am away, I will need to focus and try to block out all my typical pastimes for that short period of time. Which isn't too hard, when your thrust into the midst of everything and your way of life immediately changes. I'm going to be giving it my all, and I'm looking forward to it.
So, I think I owe it to everyone to provide an explanation, which is what I am doing.
This timeline I will be sitting out, and part of why I hadn't been starting up is because I didn't want to start something I couldn't commit to and finish as I had planned. (Sucks having to give up partway through) But with that in mind, while I will be sitting out of this one I'll probably roll into the new timeline. I've already got plenty of ideas of what I want to do - and I've no idea what new crazy ideas the team will come up with for next time - but my ideas certainly are designed to work with whatever world we craft. So that's certainly something I'm looking forward to.
Though I am not active here, that doesn't mean I'm not lurking about. As I said, I log in and take a few peeks but I'm so out of the loop I wouldn't even know where to begin! (Although, if you want me to fill a DM role or reprise a role as an NPC - please let me know, I'd be happy to write that) Further, though I am on discord - its installed on my phone. So never ever hesitate to message me here or there, I've got it close at hand and will typically get back to you. Further to that, when I'm gone in May I can still be reached on discord but don't expect rapid responses or lengthy conversations from me! If you're so inclined that is.
So with all of this down, I want to extend a thank you to everyone here and there, it's been a lot of fun and I look forward to the future. Thank you, everyone, for the amazing collaborations we've done and the memorable experiences I have from the previous timeline. When I come back, I hope to have a big old smile on my face, a fancy new uniform in my closet and a whole new life. I hope to come back to some incredible people and some phenomenal collaborative work going forward. I look forward to talking to people and once again I appreciate it all.
If I don't tag you (Tag yourself ;)), I don't think less of you! If I've crossed paths with anyone, even if it was just in passing or in a single thread, you've still made an impact.
Thank you to all of the community here at Star Wars RP! You're all awesome. Incredible. Amazing.
