doghead: I'll be sending an email off to Mith, then... Sorry to see you go; I'd personally love to argue it some more, but I don't want to draw out your decision any more than is needed.
Two things:
- First, of
course I'll leave it open for Xiao to come back. If at any time you feel ready to get re-involved in the game, just post here or send me an email; if there's space, you're right back in, and if not, you're bumped to the head of the line.
- Second, since you are going to be around the boards, if you could continue posting long enough to reach Xiao's exit (this current situation is nearing its resolution, I think), that would really save me a lot of trouble... One thing I can never quite come to grips with is auto-piloting a character's exit. Part of me wants to do it quickly and quietly, but then I don't want to underplay its significance to the other characters... Anyway, it would be much appreciated if you could stick around that long.
As an aside, I'd just like to mention how much that "0 for 6" thread drives me nuts... I haven't read it much in a while (the ratio of helpful suggestions to frustrated finger-pointing is improving)... I think I'll finally toss in my two cents, at this point. And it's not like I blame it for your leaving or anything, but since you brought it up, I thought I'd mention my thoughts
Lu Wei: Yep, Sparky's got dibs on that spot (her character should be introduced shortly; technically, I already consider her in the "seventh slot", which is always temporary.) The next time a character slot opens, though, there'll be another Temporary Slot 7 to work with -- meaning both you and Mith can join. I have no idea how long from now that will be, but I can send you an email when it comes along, if you like. (I
hate sending emails, so understand that that's a great show of appreciation for the interest you've already shown in joining.)
