While I can understand the position of those who want to withdraw at this point -- frankly, the tone of the game couldn't have whiplashed any harder if you'd had Lancelot tell his goons to "keep us busy" while he returned to his secret base on the moon -- the sympathy I can muster is limited.  As regards myself, I am stretched a little IRL thin right now but am definitely sticking around and will hopefully have a post up soon.  

Take heart, ye faithful.  This is the crucible in which legends are forged.
