By the way, how did you get such a smooth pic to fit under 18 kb? Mine always lose a bunch of quality.

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Thu Jul 02, 2015 9:00 pm

No idea. I just cropped and resized the image in MSPaint, then uploaded from my computer.

by **Theomore Tullison** Thu Jul 02, 2015 9:04 pm

If memory serves, you could upload to some hosting site and then link to it. No 18kb restriction to that.

by **Dyana Marsten** Thu Jul 02, 2015 9:14 pm

Thanks Theo, that worked. Smile

Remaining D6 and then D7 events coming tomorrow, Saturday at the latest. Massively sorry about the decrease in posting over the last month driven by previously flagged personal events. I was too ambitious in what I thought I could eep up.

I got home last night. Thankfully for most of that trip, I had a laptop I could borrow and a decent connection, if that didn't seem clear.

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Sat Jul 04, 2015 1:16 am

I hope you had a nice time!

by **Loreia** Sat Jul 04, 2015 1:57 am

I had a great time. I got to ride in a boat and kayak on the lake. That was a first, and I enjoyed it, but I mostly kept my eyes on the water and on task. I think I sprained my shoulder doing that, but it's feeling much better now. Went on a short hike. There were some group activities I missed out on, but I made it to the two dinners. The relatives who were there were mostly old folks, but I got to meet up with a cousin I hadn't seen or talked to for nearly a decade. Messed around on the laptop for most of the in-between and evening time. I'm kind of a recluse. Too many new people to meet = too little effort.

You had other priorities that were far more important. At least you didn't just completely disappear

After a some weeks of soul-searching, I've decided to retire from the game. Despite its early promise, it has metamorphosed into a game which is now a greater source of frustration than enjoyment for me, and under those circumstances I feel it's best for me to move on.

This is not a spur of the moment decision on my part - I already e-mailed Reader about a week ago that I was planning to leave, but that I wanted to finish up my commitments in Melee Group 3 first, and finish running Jon through the melee if it wouldn't take too long. However, since progress there has once again stalled, I'm dropping that goal.

I'd like to thank all the players who have afforded me some excellent RP opportunities, and I wish everyone staying on continued happy gaming.

Best wishes,
Jon

We may have been opposed more than a few times, both IC and OOC, but I truly did not want to see you go like this.

Fare thee well in both life and games.

by **Ser Jorah Holt** Wed Jul 08, 2015 1:30 pm

I'm sorry to see you go. I've enjoyed playing alongside you.

If you ever reconsider, I'd be happy to see you return

by **Gwyneth Drakeson** Wed Jul 08, 2015 2:01 pm

Jon, you're a great writer and roleplayer. It's too bad it came to this. Good luck out there!

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Wed Jul 08, 2015 9:38 pm

That's a shame, I enjoyed reading your rp. Best of luck to you.

by **Septon Arlyn** Thu Jul 09, 2015 5:13 am

It was good reading you RP Jon, I will certainly miss your contributions to this community. That said, good luck onto your future endeavors, both gaming and otherwise.

by **Loreia** Thu Jul 09, 2015 6:14 am

Aww, no! I'm sorry you weren't having fun, but it was great having you.

by **Daveth Coldbrook** Mon Jul 13, 2015 11:25 pm

I will be AFK Friday 17th-Monday 20th.

by **Dyana Marsten** Wed Jul 15, 2015 8:28 pm

[size=150:3ptea6gm]An Update

Quick and informative for you guys.

1. I'm still around, fear not.
2. I will be updating my pending posts in a few moments, and I am available if anyone wants a scene with me. Eager, even!
3. The reason for my absence, before today and, possibly, for the next four months, is simple. As I have told Baelon in a PM conversation not too long ago, I am a Med student. Classes have started, and I strive to one day be the best doctor I possibly can. I study upwards of six or seven hours per day, aside from attending classes. I also have a non-related job. So, I love this game and will stick around indefinitely, but bear with me here.

Love, y'all. Very Happy

That's probably one of the best reasons to not be around much. Go you! I'd like to interact on D8, if that's ok.

by **Dyana Marsten** Wed Jul 15, 2015 8:41 pm

Just send the word. I'm only busy on the mandatory events and the melee, so far.

by **Reader** Sat Jul 18, 2015 10:23 pm

Quieter on Sunday as I'm playing cards.

by **Reader** Sun Jul 19, 2015 11:01 pm

Done for the evening after a more productive Sunday than expected. Smile

Will try to wrap up official events tomorrow and get us to D9 soon.

by **Baelon Drakeson** Sun Jul 19, 2015 11:33 pm

Could the D8 events be held open at least for the few of us still in the melee?
I'm waiting on the melee outcome to determine injury/fatigue penalties for the champion's feast (they will determine whether I even try to participate) and also whether or not I will have a DP to spend on one of my weaker rolls in the later events.

by **Reader** Mon Jul 20, 2015 7:02 am

Good point, they will remain open.
