We probably just had different playing times. For the record I never had any problem with you in or out of game. I know taking breaks is part of this. My only problem was your week away was my "OK, I'm going to put as much time/effort into this guy as it takes to get inducted or at least find out why I can't be." And every day I didn't find you I said to myself "Well obviously I'm not playing enough." So by the time you told everyone you weren't on for a week and might not come back I had put like 60-70 hours in that week and was a bit on edge. (especially near the end when I had all my non-combat spells perfected and was sitting around practicing trance by just, well, sitting around.) I (meaning me and not Zelten) just likes to bitch, don't take it too bad. I can only tell it from my point of view, I'm sure you were a good leader.
> Again, for some reason I feel the need to defend myself. The break was not of my choice, and the ONLY ones "left" for weeks were the ones who had to wait that long for a leader to be chosen. If you had to wait that long it wasn't because of me. I interviewed most people within a day or two of gaining their recommendations, unless they spammed me every 5 minutes asking me if I was free. In which case I made them wait a little longer.. not much tho. The only person I felt sorry for having to wait so long was Vaulgennara(sp?). He came along right after Hifflio left, and waited at level 20 for the month it took to name a leader. Maybe your playing times were different from mine, they most likely were.. as I was usually on with all the aussies cause of my crazy work hours at that time. Oh well...
