So, who's still around? Most of the ShinRa guys hopped over to GCL (where I am at the moment) Pollen has been AWOL from illness for a while, Innue* dissapeared rather abruptly perhaps due to power failure followed by the complete destruction of their computer, Rilla has a little version of himself to chase down, Skallagrim is solidly AWOL, perhaps forever, and a lot of the others have drifted off into other parts of the site.

I am starting to worry that maybe the Arena isn't coming back this time, in which case I did the duty of any good sailor by jumping ship early at the first sign of sinking. Wait, I was supposed to go down with my ship? I thought that was only captains?
