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.

- 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

Anyway, hope things turn out well here. I'll be in touch.
