(OOC) An Apology To All Players

[The Semi-Retired Gamer]

I kind of dropped off the face of the Earth without notice a few months ago.  That was unintentional but real life really stuck it to me as far as the hobby and spare time goes.  First, I had issues with computer malfunctioning - I'm doing this on her IPad - and I still have yet to fix or replace it.  Second, I'm on the executive board of the Local 5010 and it has cut into my spare time putting forth the effort to fight and improve working conditions in our plant.  We are headed in the right direction, though.  Third, my wife had a cancer scare that seems to be clear as of yesterday.  She still needs to see a hematologist for remaining issues but it isn't cancer!   I had to pick up a bunch of the slack with chores, kids, their homework, etc. around here and it just ate up all of my time.  I apologize to everyone for not giving a heads up but I can spare some time now.  Feel free to NPC my character or let someone else take it over.  I hope there aren't any hard feelings about my absence or lack of participation.  Thanks for reading and considering.

You guys, rock! Thanks for understanding.

I sent you a PM before I saw your post! Have an Exalt for stepping up in big way and being the Man in RL where is counts! Welcome back! (and thank God that your wife does not have cancer!!)

Apology accepted by the referee, my inter-net friend.

I completely understand and I think I can speak for "the gang" when I say that.

Real life is real. We all need play. But we all also know how real life interrupts play sometimes.

Point is, you've let us know the situation and you've bowed out kindly. Thank you.

We wish you and your wife only the best.

And we look forward to interacting with your posts on these boards when you are able to return to regular posting.

Peace

Apologies are not necessary, The Semi-Retired Gamer. Real life certainly can be all too real sometimes, and the lives we lead in our secondary worlds are... well, secondary. Take care of yourself and your family, and I'm sure we'll be seeing you around here! Have an Exalt!

All's square and forgiven in my book, chap. Glad to hear your wife's okay (ish). Keep fighting the good fight.

Truly, brother, my prayers to your family and yourself. A man's choice between games and loved ones is no choice at all. Godspeed in the healing processes, Sir... I commend your wisdom in watching over what's real and important.

I look forward to the time for you, when life reaches such a place of peace that you can rejoin us in a bit of fun. Until then... God bless!
