I could go off into the woods, and learn to survive on my own!  I didn't expect it to be easy, I figured the GM would have it rain on me, etc., but it seemed the best way, so that's what I had my PC do...The next time I logged in, the game menu was gone.  I E-mailed the GM, asking if I had been removed, since there was no "The Game has been discontinued..." notice, and he replied: "Yes, you were!  You are sh<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />t!"  Frankly, I didn't mourn the loss...  I just wonder if the other PCs got the same sort of trearment, and how long the game lasted!</blockquote>
