Official MIA and Returning Thread

[Aahz]

I'll keep a champaigne ready for the time when your new book's opened and your husband feels better!

~A.

[Jinx_Greyflower]

wow. I'm just reading the thread for the first time today, and am still a little stunned.

Though the two of us just started interacting--and sporatically at that--I've come to like and (more importantly) deeply respect you. I'm sorry to see you go. I wish you and your husband the best of luck, and eagerly look forward to your return.

Best wishes. I'm sure I speak for us all when I say our thoughts and prayers are with you.

As we've had a recent spike in people returning from extended, or leaving the site for extended, periods of time, we've decided that we would add an official, singular source for all reported MIA (missing in action) information.

So here you are. Please only use this for extended absences. Being gone for a weekend doesn't count.

[MonkWren]

Well, since my thread seemed to help spawn this, I might as well help kick this off. For those that don't know, I'm disappearing for the summer, due to work issues and general lack of internet time. My games will continue, but don't expect to see me in General Discussion as is my norm. I may stop by for a post or two, but until I return to school I won't have the time to dedicate to this site as I would like.

[MonkWren]

Well. That sucks. Best wishes for your husband, and hope you can get everything straightened out with the book publishing. If all goes well, hopefully you'll be posting here again soon.

[Silvercrow]

Sorry to hear that MonkWren. I hope your work goes well.

This is a proxy message for Codagh Dearg, whose short but intense time on this site will be missed by all that played with or DM'd for him.

I only know some RL thing meant he had to terminate immediately

Hello mr Fighter.

Say hello in the official MIA and Returning Thread.

Welcome back. Always good to have the meat shields.

[That Annoying Guy]

So, hi guys. If you remember Featherfoot or Corrupted Avatar from half a year ago, that's all me. :biggrin:
Anyway, the long story about my disappearance begins ( you should not read this cause it's boring):

So, I was in good number of campaigns back then. Life was good, birds were singing and stuff like that. Anyways, I was planning out the next 40 levels of my Terra character (no, really) and the next morning I went to the doctor where I got my blood pressure measured. It was so high that I got sent to a hospital for two months. I was in the same hospital for the same reason a while ago. The ride there was interesting as always; me wanting to sit and the medics telling me I have to lie down cause I'm feeling ill, even though I was feeling just fine. So, while I was in the hospital, I told my friend to write in my signature that I'll be away for some time, but he failed to do that. He succeeded in logging out and that means I cannot enter my account. As far as I have figured it, I made an account years ago when this site was still young. I didn't post anything cause I didn't know how the site functions. Anyways, after that I made my featherfoot account (don't ask me about the name, I am still ashamed of it) from which I logged out on a single occasion and couldn't get in. That's when I made my Corrupted Avatar account and that's when we get back to my main story. So, I was in a hospital getting to know every instrument in there. They made so many tests on me that I was beginning to glow in the dark. So, one day they told me I can go home. The result of the tests was a diagnosis my best friend gave me a long time ago; you are fat! Anyways, I returned home and logged on the net, only to find out I cannot log in my account and to find out the friend didn't put that message on my signature. Anyways, I was too embarrassed to say I'm back cause I have promised myself never to leave this site whiteout a warning. That is why I began playing warcraft, dota more precisely. My skills became legendary. I was able to predict ambushes, skills that were going to get used, respawn types of wards that grant regeneration, etc. I was playing with a five seconds delay because my friend was on Europe and I thought west was closer to Europe than east. But that grew boring so I made a comeback to this site with my current username TAG. :biggrin:
Unfortunately, I tore my ligament (I hope that's the right word) while I was standing up. A normal person would need to get hit by a car for a ligament to be torn, but I got it tored by standing up. That put me in a hospital again. That visit was actually better than the blood pressure ones because I actually felt that there is something wrong with me. Then I discovered many things, amongst which are; Sometimes, I sleep with my eyes open, I felt how it is to be paralized (after a regional injection to my spine which left me paralyzed from the waist down for a day. I refused to be put to sleep for the operation), I discovered that I can see through my closed eyes while waking up from my sleep, through, I think this might be connected to my open eyes problem.
I returned from that hospital with a permanent injury to my knee; I'll have to wear an "artificial leg" (something black that keeps my kne in place) while doing sports for the rest of my life or until I go to another surgery in few years (which I will not). Anyways, on my return, I found Naruto episodes waiting for me; a gift from a friend who got it from a friend who got it to from a friend. Anyways I became hooked on Naruto and I've seen 100 episodes in three days. A normal person would study after being away from school for another month, but I am not such a person. So, anyways, I’ve returned to this site again... for a day and then something happened again and I was in a hospital, again. Upon my return from that hospital I was too caught up in my schoolwork to do anything on the net so I didn't post anything untill now. In the meantime, I began boxing. I was going to post in Thursday, but I was exhausted after my first two rounds in the ring and I got beaten up. Not that my opponent did any damage to me, but I punched myself pretty badly in the nose while taking off my shirt and I got kicked in the head few times when I tried to stop a bag with my head to look cool. I failed. So, Friday was the day to post this message, but I went to sleep after shool and I practiced sleeping until 6 pm when I had to go to another practice. There 8 of us noobs were going to fight 2 guys who were training for a year. Anyway, I was third in order to fight and I was matched against the stronger one. The trainer asked me do I have teeth protector and I told her I was going to buy it latter today. She equipped me with gloves and a helmet whose function I fail to notice because the only thing it protects is the ear and the forehead. The fight was not evenly matched, even though I was 2 weight categories above him. Every attck I launched, he evaded and every fast attack i made, I didn't follow through with another cause I stopped to say sorry. Anyhow, near the end of the round, I got the hang of the fighting and i launhed my attacks as he was launching his own at me. That worked and I could have knocked him down, but my peaceful nature stepped in every time and I said sorry for each hit. That only got me a torn lip when he punched me in the face while I was saying sorry.
Anyhow I got home at 10 pm and decided to prepare my newly bought teeth protector. I did as instructed; boiled it in water then put it under a stream of cold water and put it into my jaw, biting hard. Needless to say it burned, but on the plus side, it closed my torn lip. Anyways, I began writing this, but my friend cam and we went running. When I came home, I fell asleep.
I woke up and decided to post this. I will not be able to do a spell check cause a friend is on the way here to watch the newest episode of naruto I downloaded.


So, anyways, I'm back. How's the Terra game going, how come Empyre didn't make any epic level games and how come everyone's a moderator now?

[Hal]

Well...I'm back...again

I'd like to apologize for my absense to those of you who were playing in my games, and to people who's game I was playing in...

I've done some bad stuff with my life lately...those of you who know me know I havn't exactly had the easiest life...or the luckiest...so I turned to some bad friends and their bad habits...but that's in the past...I've been able to get my life back together, again...

Sorry to those who played in my games...but I don't feel like I can keep up DM'ing once again...not yet...but soon...

Right now I'm content just hopping in someone's game and...just playing...

Once again...for the last time...Sorry...

~Hal~

[Aahz]

Hey man, welcome back! I got to play you briefly in Dreamspeaker, and your twins were probably one of the most original characters to have passed through that game!

~A.

[DraconigenaArma]

Hey Feather/Corrupt/TAG ...I need to learn your real name since I've known you through ALL those names...and played in games with you in ALL those names...

And for my post: I am half absense pending inevitability. Since I moved I have very restrictive internet access, which means weeks could go by with no posts where as I was online all weekend a day before...I think I might move again for that reason...

[KitFox]

Well, the Fox is back (wait, did anyone notice I was gone ).

Long story short; I was pounding out a 20k circuit run competitivly, and was working myself way too hard. I blew my knee and tore all my muscles in my left thigh, and had to undergo a lil' bit of surgery to fix the damage...well, I'm as good as new (albeit, a little doped up), and will be able to walk, run, jog, and do my atheltic obssessive things just like it never happened (thank the Lord). It is nice to return to this little wedge of geekdom, and see all my fellow nerdlings and collected familiar alumni once more, heres to good gaming, long night's trolling, and seeking that alter-reality purge we seem to love!

Cheers, I know you guys missed me!
