EFU:CoR Leaving/Returning Posts

I have returned, currently masquerading as a gnome.  And holy shit they made Vlaid a DM while I was gone!  Hoooray Vlaid!

I am very very ill right now, and it's interfering with EfU, work, school, and moving. I'm checking my IRC and the forums here and there, but if I log in, chances are I'll be logging out 5-10 minutes later to go puke.
Cheers!

Feeling rather burned out at the moment. I'm afraid I have to take a break. But keep on rocking, EfU!

Out until the weekend

I am back, limited but back in action for a time.

[LaceAndLeather]

I'll be taking a break.

Have family over for the week; play times will be reduced.

I'm not bailing, I've just been busy this past weekend.  As typically a weekend player, it feels like taking one weekend off delays things so much!

I've been busy RL and can't fit EFU time in. Hope to be back soon!

My company has recently made an adjustment to its contract with AT&T, and I'll be working late nights for the next five or seven weeks to make sure the transition goes well. Afterward, I will probably return to my usual schedule.

Starting Tuesday, Asathiel's daily hours of activity will be between 10:00 and 14:00, Pacific Standard Time.

And I will be available to my heart's content on weekends.

Need to disconnect from this for a bit.

I want to heart to heart with you all a moment. In January of this year my brother passed away, and it pretty much destroyed my world. I created Amelia with the intention of escaping into a bit of fantasy and ignoring my crippling depression. The fact is that it helped a lot, and I want to thank everyone here for providing a great place to explore and vent some of my hopelessness.

The world is fucking shit. It's pointless and it ends in misery. Much like our characters really. We keeping running through the same hoops, clawing and gasping for just a little air. Every once in a blue moon something nice will happen, and we will forget our mortality. Some of the best memories of my life are in this stupid fucking game. I'm not sure whether to be thankful for that, or to break down at its absurdity.

I love you all dearly, but I need face myself in the mirror awhile. My beard is long, I don't recognize who I am. I need some time to figure that out before returning to my escape. Might be a few months, maybe longer. I'll drop by now and again to let you know I'm OK, even when it's clearly a lie. Stay awesome for now.

Some of the best memories of my life are in this stupid fucking game.

I believe this is what makes us bond. No matter our past, where we come from or how we have arrived to nwn, this is the one thing that makes it possible a game of like 17 years is still up and running. I can't say I have ever experienced in my life anything as remotely devastating as what you have recently gone through, but I too must say that, as absurd as it is, I have in this game memories that rival in beauty with the events of my life.

But as you said, other things come first. You have my best wishes for the enormously challenging endeavor that you are about to undertake and I sincerely hope that you will one day manage to find something that can make you smile again. Endure, don't give up, and if at any moment you'll find that you cannot muster the strength to pull through, drop by, share some moments with us. You are always welcome!

Depression is one tough as nails beast to live with. Know that you are not alone with your experience and if there is a group therapy nearby I know it helped me drastically when I was at my worst. I applaud you for your strength to do what you must to make yourself happy, and know that you will be sorely missed. I have found your characters over the years to be some of my favorites. Always extending a hand and letting others in to this fantastical virtual world. The fond memories you have from this game are experiences of themselves. Unique ones that few can brag about (or understand in the case of efu).

May you succeed in all of your endeavors while away. I would love to hear of them if you come back for a visit :)

Hello EFU, AllMYBudgies here.

I'm back around, but I've not returned in a DMing capacity. I had an amazing few years with some fond memories of my time DMing and thank you all for all the amazing storytelling I was privy to because of the opportunity. I had a great time but I have returned to play, and would thank you all for not inundating me with DM related pm's and loot requests anymore!

See you all in game!
