A Break

[Evangelion]

Hey all,

I'm finding, especially after a recent conversation with Anume, that I am really having a trouble breaking out of my own mold and getting into the game. It's become really difficult for me to pick, develop, and stick with an RP that isn't very cookie cutter and safe, and I can't really discern why. So I think what needs to happen right now is I need to take a break from here, play some console/PC games, do some schoolwork, and come back later fresh and rejuvenated.

I'm not pretending I'm leaving forever, because I'll still be around the forums, and there are still some things I'd like to do to help out the MUD, but I think the everyday playing side of things is going to go on hold for me for a bit.

So, from the following, I thank you all:

Andrella was my second longest-lasting character ever, following Taeim by only 2 hours. It takes me having a lot of fun for a character to last that long, so you all know this is a memorable one for me.

Morghan is also gone, as well as:

Again, thanks for everything. To all the people I interacted with across all of my characters. This isn't good-bye forever, just for now.

Love,

Balinor

[H&R]

Props and take care. Fantastic RP from your bmg.

[Anume]

Come back fresh.

Your demon wanabe was already a lot more interesting rp wise as he wasn't perfect / had some flaws. Keep at it.

[Nomak]

Farewell friend and come back when you can.

[Warmongrel]

Ahh, gonna suck to see you go. Was looking forward to fighting Morghan you shocked the hell out of me that one fight. I think anume was watching (pretty sure it was you're invoker duel that I'm thinking of.) At the end I had like 67 hp. I enjoyed Andrella quite a bit though, we had our ups and downs due to rp plays that we both went with, which made things more interesting I think. We always managed to work things out without slaughtering each other though. I was looking forward to getting a rematch against you though with a magical staff, I'll just have anume put two wins on my record as wins by default for you leaving

Svenik

[Haesierph]

Come back soon.

[f0xx]

Ah, I really enjoyed the RP logs with Brentonus.

Goos luck, I don't think you will manage to stay away from FL for long though

[jibber]

Never got to interact with the Demon wannabe

Good job with Andrella and Morghan. Never did like gnome invokers, OR ogre rangers. So buff!

[Questioner]

If I come back, you're coming back.
