This is more a leave of absence than anything else, though for how long I don't know yet. It could be a couple months, it could well be forever. But as one of the more vocal supporters of the game, I feel obligated to assist in the ongoing discussion with both Cyan themselves and the in-character 'staff' known as the DRC.
Couple of quick things of note:
- The parcel being rented in Tavarua is not going anywhere, there are others working there and so has its own life now.

- I'm not leaving SL entirely, but its already very rare to find me online, and so this merely formalizes what I do next. Most of my SL time from now on will likely be used only to check on projects like InnerLife (see sig link) and to ensure the parcel payments go out.
I'll also be answerable to PM and IM when I get the chance to look at them.- Will also be available on IRC. However, I will be changing nick to my UrU login (and by association RL name).
- My Money Tree will be yanked, as I'll need to keep closer eye on SL finances (which I do still intend to use from time to time).
- I do have future plans with SL. Hopefully by end of this weekend I'll have hashed out the basics of what I intend to present in July, and then just need to research the remaining Meta-World systems in use (that I've not already fiddled with - I think just AW at this point).
- This has nothing to do with my run-through as a Resident Moderator, despite the timing
. I probably would have continued if no news came out.Anyway, hope things turn out well here. I'll be in touch.
