After having had some time to think, I've come to terms with a decision: I'll be permanently resigning from updating and reffing.

Summershine Cup will no longer be completed by me, but I'm happy to let Escalion or other refs wrap it up in my stead.

As for current adventures: those close to finishing theirs, I will stick around long enough to end them. These members are MM, EBE and sweetbbydoll.

As for some others, namely EAI, JJ, Raves, myahoo, Emi and Dave, I can find a way to dramatically shorten and wrap up your adventures soon even if you're still only half way through according to my initial plans. If you wanna work together to speed things up to reach your rewards, hit me up! If I don't hear from any of you, your story will be left unfinished.

I will not continue Dream World. Maybe once an official updater is allocated, these adventures will be picked up, but that's not up to me.

I could say a lot of things about my decision to leave, but in hindsight, I've said them all at one point or another. If there's anything that saddens me is that I still love FB. That should speak volumes when I find myself not having fun doing something I still love in theory.

Hope you guys understand. Looking forward to roleplaying with those of you still willing, if only for a bit longer.

So some of you may have noticed that I missed my shop posts for this week. That would be because I was in a car accident which thankfully wasn't worse than it could've been: the only thing broken is my sternum, or the stuff holding my ribs together, everything else is simply stiff right now from not moving around much, plus I have a bunch of cuts and bruises to show for it. So yeah, I'm gonna be taking things pretty easy for now since a broken sternum means I can't breathe as well as I usually do.

So what does this mean for FB? I might still be writing up certain posts I've been wanting to do for quite some time now, but that is nowhere near guaranteed. If it comes to writing up some birthday posts coming up this week I should be able to do those, and if by some chance I get an extension on my shop posts for this week I can do that as well, but I probably won't be doing much outside of that.

Anyway, just letting everyone know what happened, so wish me well!

I assume as official referee I have the right to post here too, so I hereby an announcement from me. I like to do this a bit early so.

In a few weeks time, December 17th to be precise, I will fly to the Philippines again to be with my fiancée for the holidays. I will stay there for a few weeks and internet access will be very limited, and I will not have access to my files at all, so there will be no reffings (or FFA updates) in the period between roughly 15 December, have to pack and stuff too, and January 15th.

For currently ongoing battles, I'll try to get a round in before I leave if those who haven't replied yet do so within a week or so, otherwise everything will be picked up in January again, which will also include the Summershine Cup.

So I should have mentioned this before but I'm in my last few weeks of my thesis and fully focusing on making deadlines. Because of this, I haven't exactly spent much time on FB - Phantom Isle specifically. I have yet to even type a single word for it and I probably won't until about mid-March.
I'm sorry for the hold-up but I currently can't distract myself too much at this moment.

I will be leaving for a weekend vacation on Friday, May 19th and returning Monday, May 22nd. I will have limited access to the Internet on my phone during that time, and no computer. I am planning on wrapping up Springtime updates before then.

Alrighty so as some of you are aware, I got accepted to Grad School in Boston in the fall, which means lots of big changes for me all at once. Tomorrow I am semi-officially starting this whole crazy ride with a trip to Boston, which will be from June 1-4. I'll try to get in some stuff here and there (I'll likely have a good deal of downtime) but may very well be busy.

Beyond that, I wanted to give everyone a timeline so people aren't shocked if I'm inaccessible for a few days or weeks at a time.

June 30: Last day at my job
July 7: Fly to Japan (will be out of contact for a majority of this time)
July 10: Train to Kyoto
July 10-August 17: In Kyoto, might not have gr8 internet at my Airbnb
August 17: Fly back to US
August 17-30: Prepare for moving/move
August 30-September 1: Orientation and classes start!

Once classes start I'll probably be more or less out of commission until I can figure out what I have time for so please hold tight! I will MOST LIKELY be pretty around for most of the summer bar the end of August, but I will not know my exact situation while in Japan until I get there. However, I will have no real obligations or responsibilities during that time so I should be able to keep up with stuff pretty easily.

I should be fairly reachable otherwise for questions and just general chatting and stuff though with the obvious exception of the international flights, so feel free to still hit me up if you need me - just don't expect instant responses.

Thanks!

My sincere apologies to those waiting on me for updates and replies - I had hoped to get more accomplished today but ended up not feeling well and falling asleep. Hoping tomorrow will be better.

Next week I'll be returning to my volunteer job at the wildlife center. I've been off most of the year due to personal illness, and expect the work to be a bit tiring for me until I adjust to it again, so my updating schedule may suffer somewhat. My apologies to my updatees; I hope to adapt quickly to the added workload.

Going away on vacation for a week, no updates for the duration of the trip. Incidentally, you guys should absolutely visit the Azores archipelago in you ever have the chance

Apologies to my updatees and anyone else waiting on me for things, but I'll probably be out at least the next couple days if not the bulk of the week since I get my wisdom teeth taken out in about twelve hours. I'm hoping I'll be feeling like writing again by sometime Wednesday, but just in case this is a warning for if I vanish for a bit.

I'm in a minor bout of feeling sorry for myself and lost inspiration for updating. Everything should hopefully be back to normal in a week or two, but I need to focus on myself.

Sorry to all those that this affects. I promise I'll make my next updates extra good.

Got a massive project at work due by the end of the week that seems to get bigger and more complicated every day - I intend to post updates in the Casino and wrap up the IQ thread soon, but it may take a bit for this reason, and due to some personal things that have come up. My apologies!!

So for the sake of transparency and communication I feel the need to clear up some things:

I apologize for the long delay to my updatees on getting your updates out. The next batch for both zones is ridiculous in size and content and has been a difficult experience to write. I've been hitting writer's block on a few updates, and that's my fault for being a perfectionist in my own storytelling, as I hate delivering half-assed story updates. So I've written myself into a bit of a corner on these. The other issue is that I've switched to a new work schedule which has me getting up earlier and passing out shortly after getting home, making it difficult to find the time to have the quiet time I need to write.

I will do my best to get these updates out this weekend, as I know it has been a ridiculous amount of time since I have last updated everyone. I greatly apologize for that and I really appreciate your continued patience. My ultimate goal is to ensure everyone has a wonderful and unforgettable FB adventure.

Not sure when I can resume a decent updating pace. Work's been more complicated than usual, and what little free time I do have is best spent with family rather than in front of a laptop. I'll muscle out a Cloud Garden reply before the deadline, but other than that, I ask that you please understand - it wouldn't be fair of me to prioritize FB over the people I care about, for all manner of reasons. I intend to pick up the pace as soon as possible.

Just an update.

I know I have been slower than usual, and I do apologize about this. I have been extremely busy lately, even at work, and the little free time I have had I have been spending dedicating to some other things I have been putting on the back-burner for quite some time and have finally gotten around to.

I will continue working on FB and writing updates but the frequency and "schedule" is somewhat uncertain and will be sporadic.

Don't touch that dial, though. We have a lot of fun things planned for The Black Bayou, so stick with us and I promise you will not be disappointed

Just letting you know: I'm on vacation/holiday/whatchacallit, and while I had expected to have more time to update in this period, it turns out I'm feeling the need to step away from things for a little while. Will still be around during this period but not in an updating capacity, please understand - unfortunately, vacations are always temporary :P

Not exactly an updater, but an irregular SO counts?

I'm currently off on vacation, on my way to see CyberBlastoise ^^ So until December 5th, I won't be online as often and won't be able to update the Boutique and calendar until then. Thanks for your understanding!

I think this thread is underappreciated to be honest.

I sincerely apologize for the lack of updates, I know some of you have been waiting on me for a while, and especially after all the campaigning I did to get more people into New Fizz City.

The issue is, the month of January is extremely complicated for me at work, which extends far beyond regular working hours, and leaves me with no time or energy to devote to a regular updating schedule. Between "routine" work, night shifts and building a decent curriculum, it's been exhausting. I hope you understand, and I am confident that February will be easier on me and give me more time to write for you guys.

Apologies once again.

Hey @my LMN peeps. I'll be kinda floaty because I'm working on my portfolio and getting ready for midterms. I'll still be running the daycare and posting in the discord but it'll be kinda hard for me to do updates and work on my own adventures until like the 19th. Thank u 4 understanding

Will be moving house tomorrow, and will be decorating like hell. Good news is the colour scheme fits what's outside right now, so it shouldn't be more than a couple weeks of sparse to nonexistent activity here.
