Tears of Mirrormere Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Groin Redbeard · 08-21-2009, 03:41 PM

I have received lots of PMs from ya'll, some telling me goodbye and some asking me to stay. The reason for my leaving is because of a school course that I want to undertake this year, a course that take lots of my time. So instead of just disappearing and leave ya'll waiting I wanted to slip out. However that's not the case.

Legate and Lommy both PMed me the other day and asked me to reconsider leaving. Legate pointed out that I haven't undertaken my studies yet so I don't know how much time it will take of mine, so therefore I might be overreacting. I've stopped and thought about it and I agree. Therefore, I will wait until I actually begin my studying before I make a decision to stay or leave.

My studying will begin on Monday and I will have the answer by the end of that first week. Nevertheless, if I decide to stay I suspect that my studies will reduce my time with this RPG and the 'Downs. However, I will get one more post up if I decide to leave.

I know I sound like a hypocritical jerk by saying all this. Thanks for all your good wishes and concern, I really didn't expect this reaction.

Looking forward to see how it goes, Groin.

Legate - I think the battle will be finished now. When Groin posts next, he may do it. Or, if he prefers, I can edit an ending to it after my post for Ori (in case I post before him, like I hope). So anyone wishing to still smash some orc skulls or do heroic deeds, the floor is yours, but not for long (less than a week?).

I will try to get a post up soon, I just forgot I was supposed to make one.

Groin, if you're writing before Monday, please close the battle. I don't need to write for Ori, there's not much to say about him. But if you haven't written by then (you don't have to!

) I will close the battle by writing from Ori's perspective sometime early next week...

Good call, chief. Besides, you'll need something to do for fun on the weekends. Speaking from experience, I had no trouble balancing the Barrow-Downs with undergraduate studies, and I went to Wheaton College in IL, which is a relatively difficult school. You'll be fine.
