Sorry for being MIA all this time, for those who notice and/or care.

I needed to take some time off Layonara because I was frustrated at things and people.
The whole "Come in, you'll fit in just fine" thing worked on me for a bit but the veil has been torn not too late after.

And even amazed by the strength and support of the staff and players, of our community, it got worse.
Until I found myself spending the free-time [usually sunday nights] playing SinglePlayer modules then at dawn, logging in and in a sleep-depraved zombiesh doing quests I could get into for -some- interaction, RP and XP. [Thanks aussies, you = love.]

That was when I started getting bummed and then the staff drops a note "By the way, we're going to end this all eventually to go on our way..."
[Without the intention of opening this discussion again, or having anyone offended, I'll just say I still think it's great that Leanthar and the others are going this way, I think that this will bring them many new things, good things too, and besides some problems life throws at us here and there they'll see it was worth when they have some time to breathe and just spectate the whole thing moving on its on. Cause it will. Believe you me.] That was like the final stab, cause at the time, I wasn't doing well enough to understand where the staff and L were coming from.

Moving on, I was intimidated by all the great RP I've seen and I wore myself out trying to keep up, to be like the people I saw. Clearly I found out that I have no capacity, though I have a strong will. Things slowed down a lot, people I've played with stopped playing, others were too busy on a blind quest for the levels/riches and it all took it's toll.

I have seen people come and go, some looking for status and power within the community, some with the honest intent of having fun.
The memories of some of the best roleplay, people, community, staff and moments in this server made me want not to leave, but take some time.

So.. Even being here for a short time compared to most people, that's my drama, that's what's been up with me, and yes, like it or not I'm back to annoy the hell out of you, you and you *randomly points* and you too back there. Assuming work don't take over my life completely.

-Lino

Welcome back, I hope you enjoy your stay with layo

Never forget, it's a game and we are all here to have fun. Fun is defined differently for each individual but the bottom line is that we are all here to have fun, make no mistake about that.

If one needs to take a break then by all means do it...but then come back and have fun.

Welcome back and enjoy your time.

Woohoo! Lino! Lino has to come and hang out at the Arena with Steel, Hardragh, and Omer (and ostensibly anyone else who likes working on/talking about the martial side of life).

I missed Lino.

And Odran... Odraen... OD...

You. <3

Glad you were able to take some time out to get your head back on; gods know we all need something like that from time to time.

Lino's cheery nature was sorely missed. Glad to see you coming back.

*evil laugh* I have been waiting for youuuuuuu

Frances · « **Reply #12 on:** November 12, 2007, 05:41:42 PM »

Yay! Lino's back!

Val'll love having someone to tease...

Odranoela · « **Reply #13 on:** November 12, 2007, 06:05:02 PM »

Jrizz!!! I'm so sorry for leaving you hanging like that, man. It was really selfish, I could've sent you a forum PM or something. But fear not for revenge is at your hands! Throw one of those epic killer sharks at Lino or port him to somewhere in the middle of the Deep for a revenge, you got my blessing!

Welcome back (to our honorary Aussie!)

Dezza · « **Reply #15 on:** November 12, 2007, 06:40:37 PM »

Bout time! heh! And yeah we'll adopt Lino as an honorary Aussie. Everyone knows the best times are had in Aussie times!

Tanman · « **Reply #16 on:** November 12, 2007, 06:51:35 PM »

We are making up a sizeable group now aren't we?
I think we are at 8 full count? Nine with Lino if he comes that makes it 9 now?

ystrday · « **Reply #17 on:** November 12, 2007, 09:01:03 PM »

Welcome back!

I thoroughly enjoyed your RP

Odranoela · « **Reply #18 on:** November 13, 2007, 03:37:05 AM »

*spams the Thanks button and hopes no one realizes this post was just a trick to up the Thanks counts*

I accept the title of honorary aussie with pride. I shall not shame my new nation, but I also shall not fight any wars, eat anything green and icky and stop smoking heavily. I shall raise a flag in my roof for my fellow countrymen and woman. I shall also take up lessons on how to hunt snakes, alligators and the likes. If that won't suffice, we can negotiate surf lessons, a tan, and a nice strong accent.
