Okay guys, I... Am so, so sorry for being as flakey as I am.  I've been dealt a few really busying hands at work - between 10-hour mandatory study on top of 50-60 hour work weeks, an exam for promotion recently (for which I TRIED t ostudy extra on top of the training curriculum) and a whole shitstorm of stuff.

This, however, is no excuse for being gone and not explaining myself at least once or twice a week.  The possibility of... business trips (deployments, let's be honest) is high and common,  but I've been shifted from date to date approximately 4 times in the last 10 weeks, according to my sponsor/mentor and friends in the same workspace.  So...  I appreciate beyond all else that you guys are so patient and understanding.

I'm trying my best to become a better player, I'm about to graduate from yet another training (not as hard this time, got a 96-97% for the rest of the course).  I'm looking forward to delving back into the mind of Elmera and working out her relationship with more others.  You're all literally the best.  I'll be trying to re-incorporate myself again very soon. :)
