My farewells

So, life has taken a turn, and I won't have time to come to SS13 anymore. As fun as this community is, and how much great company you all are, I simply won't have the time to come and play with you guys and gals. This game takes way too much of my time - time I need to devote elsewhere.

I don't know when (or even if) I'll come back. It might be on a whim. I'll likely drop by once in a blue moon to say hello, but no promises if I'll stay to play again. It could very well be a long haitus before I show my face again.

Thanks for the great company and great gameplay. Lots of really good stories have been made from this community, and I'll certainly miss it. This goes as far to say it has helped in my work in writing, especially in the way of developing characters. To that I thank you. When I first started writing, my characters sometimes felt like cardboard cutouts with generic personalities. I couldn't delve into their inner soul. With you guys, I've learned to develop their quirks, find their charm, understand their unique choice of actions. I've watched the flow of my own work change. I'm accepting that plots don't have to be set in stone, and unknown changes can sometimes have the best results.

Thanks again for the great company. This might be a fair chance to leave my SS13 character's stories anyway. Rose is back in Canis Minor, and Hawk has been whisked away into Delta testing, for good. You can more or less consider them missing from now on.

Thanks again, and have fun!
