Phlale

This will serve as a holding area for vacation requests that have no end. After a few weeks of unending vacation, the admins will move an absence thread here.

I sent Phlale an email to find out what is up with his status.

Would be good to see him back here. Him and Chanur.

I second that. Funny how Phae disappered after I joined his L5R game.... I think I'm a jinx! :(

Here is his reply:

Most things are actually great, but the 100hr weeks I`ve been pulling (work+class+homework) and trying a new relationship has pretty much shoved the site out of my mind. Sorry about that, but I really don`t see how I can honestly say I`ll be back any time soon.
Me: What would you like us to do with your games and guys?

Thanks V, and sorry I didn't come around to clear this up earlier.
GMs, take this as you will. I'll wrap his game up and pack it in the graveyard. If/when he returns we can pull it out of retirement and start it up again.

Damn. But it's understandable. I hope he'll be back some time in the future too because I enjoyed his game a lot and will miss his character.

If he has a new relationship, he's effectively invoked "The Excuse." No more can be said.

In college, the absolute "Get out of Jail Free" card for any gaming event was having a date. You could call the GM an hour before the game started and say you weren't going to make it, and if you invoked The Excuse, he couldn't be mad. You could even be the GM and cancel the game with no notice. If it was for a date, then all was forgiven.

Sadly, Trogdor's group would check up on the validity of using "The Excuse" and Woe unto those faking it to get out of a night roleplaying ;)

He did tell me that she's not the real reason, they met at the Gaming Table.

She might game, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't want his time for other things too. I'll grant him The Excuse, at least partially on this one.

:-)

And Eanwulf, we were too geeky to lie about that.

Should we move this to the perm vacation folder?
