Silinrul's Thread of Disappearances!
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2018 12:00 am
Okay, so I'm sure a few of you have noticed my appearances becoming more and more sparse lately.
There's a reason I always kept this thread around, because I knew my popping-off's would just continue to happen at intervals I could not necessarily foresee or control. Recently I had to give advice to someone out there (you know who you are!) that if life is piling up on you and there's problems you need to deal with, then you *NEED* to deal with them, and put this game off to the side because no game is ever more important than life outside of it.
I meant that with every bit I was able to mean it, and it'd be hypocritical of me if the time came for me to make that same decision, and I didn't follow my own advice. I have spent the better part of the past week thinking this one through because I still have some plots and stories with players, EM-side and playerside alike, that will just be left in limbo. It's regretful, but for now that's where those are going to be staying. I apologize to the players involved in these plots because I did, and in fact still do, want to do these plots, but the time has come for me to step up and face some fairly important RL issues. I'll spare the sob story and say that I would not be leaving, especially with open plots as I have, if I didn't think the situation warranted it.
The bad news to it all is I don't know how long this will take, or how long I'm going to stay away. Don't get me wrong, a decision to stay away from Sigil or NWN2 has nothing to do with the server or the people here, because I love both. It's purely a situation of personal responsibility and time management, and in the end NWN2 game-time is the one I need to cut. I could be gone for a month, I could be gone for years as I was before. Obviously I'm aiming for the former, and I don't actually think the situation would warrant years, but it depends how things go. What I will say is this: if people involved in my plots are still around if/when I return, I will continue those plots if they want. I doubt my interest in them will wane because I was actually excited to do it, but it's not the first time I've had to cut off what I wanted to do in view of what I needed to do.
So, here's hoping this break isn't a long one. Should anyone need me I will -occasionally- check discord, but even on that I've been irregular. It's the only real way to get in touch with me right now though, so leave a message and I'll hopefully answer in at least a day.
