As you have no doubt noticed, three of our players retired today for their own personal reasons. I imagine many of you don't recognize Ansel or Serenity as their demands on their time had rendered them largely inactive on the board, but many of you will have played with Marg or his aliases, Chaz and Loreburn.
It's a shame to see people go for any reason. In the almost ten years I have been doing this I have seen many good friends leave (and a small handful I only wish to forget). Life changes for everyone and such hobbies can be time consuming. Neko is actually a returning player who started the original game with me and was one of the first admin - and has been gone for several years! Looking back on it, the game rolls on and so do the players.
Marg was, however; doing more than their share of GMing and I cannot say we won't be feeling the loss there. I am keen to have all players busy and active and strive to get new players involved as frequently as possible, so let's address that.
If you're looking for something to do, I would ask that you never hesitate to see if you can't join another thread. The tavern is always there for rp as well and is a great place to get to know other players and their characters.
If you would like to be a Game Master yourself and am interested in trying out, you should contact admin straight away so they can see to you running a trial and seeing how you go. It can be a lot of fun and if you've got some great story ideas, there's no better way to play them out.
I do not ask that GMs remain constantly busy, but instead understand the game, take some time to help new players to do the same and are certified to hand out rewards to players for participation.
Thanks to all of you for sticking around and playing with us and just know, through thick and thin we always appreciate our players. There's no game without you.
