TwelveColonies: So long, and thanks for all the fun.

[beccatoria]

Hey guys, just a heads up to let anyone who cares know that I've left twelvecolonies. I had a great time playing through two challenges with you guys, and while I promise I'm not personally beating myself up over our incredibly close loss, (though please, feel free to blame me if it will help you not blame yourselves! :p), the fact that I had neither the time nor inclination to participate in as many challenges as I should have done is why I'm leaving.

That classic breakup line, but nonetheless true, IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME!

Basically my real life is weird and messed up right now, and for a while twelvecolonies was a fabulous distraction, but changing circumstances and changing me means that I can no longer give it the attention it requires or deserves, so I'm bowing out.

I wish you all nothing but the best, and be damn sure you post all your entries for the vidding challenge to your LJs once the challenge is over! (And you know, if anyone is thinking about dipping their toes into vidding for the first time and wants help wrangling WMM, that offer always stands.)

So anyway, so long twelvecolonies and teambasestar, and thanks for all the fun.

(In other news, I'm really sorry I haven't been posting much lately; see above for real weird life and my varying responses to it on any given month. In other news, I liked this week's Fringe.)

Come back, Shane, come back!! I mean, I hope you're not leaving because you feel guilty at all. :( You're still one of the best participants we've had over the long term and one of the reasons we were doing so well to begin with. There are plenty of people on every team who haven't participated at all.

In a way I'm kind of glad another team won a round. JUST THIS ONCE, I mean. ;) It's probably better for the atmosphere overall?

Just a quick cus I really need to go to bed, but I don't want you to worry! No, I promise, it's absolutely not because I feel guilty, though it's always nice to know I pulled my weight. ;)

I decided I was going to leave at the end of this challenge probably about a month ago but I wanted to see it through to the end. It is honestly, and completely, only because I'm at a point where I don't have the attention to participate the way I would want to, not the way I think anyone else would need me to. And the only reason for that is, well, me, and my ongoing weird real life situation which I know you're already aware of anyway. So don't worry, I know that fandom is kind of imploding a bit at the moment, but I'm just a casualty of real life implosions, not online ones. :) NO FLOUNCING FOR ME! :p

So thanks for worrying about me, but it's not necessary. And I FIGURED that our team were just playing possum to lull everyone into a false sense of security. ;)

Maybe next round if I'm in a better place, I'll sign back up again.

We'll miss you and your awesome creativity but I certainly understand the real life thing.

Aww, thanks, and thanks for understanding. You guys will continue to kick ass without me, I'm sure. ;)

Yeah, we got too complacent. That's not good. We're Cylons. We'll be back!
