This was something I didn't know because word wasn't actively spread to everyone who still had characters invested in the RP, at least not to me anyway. Granted yes I wasn't active, didn't contact you guys much and I don't expect to be told everything as and when it occurs, but a nudge would've still been nice so that I at least knew what was going on.Besides, I can accept that LRA is too much, but learning nothing in two years? Unless there was major slacking that's illogical.Edit: I'm not aiming at you specifically, Alice, but if I were at least told the basic idea of "We're moving back to RPG, if you want your characters to learn anything and join back in, we'll need you to sort it out with us soon" it would've been a bit nicer than being left in the dark with my (unfortunately undeclared, sorry about that) hiatus.Edit again: It wouldn't have taken more than five minutes to find me on skype via the old chat and send me a message, might I add. I know you guys have a policy of not chasing up inactive people that much, but it's not all that much time, even I would bother to check up on people and I'm lazy as all hell.

I understand how this could be annoying for you Glitchy but like you said, it was really hard to find you after the guild went down. Honestly I don't think a lot of people could have found your skype to inform you about the upcoming transition. I'm not sure if you also received a message from Gero on the backup site but to my knowledge he sent a "heads-up" to basically anyone that was active. It was even harder to find you on the back-up site because I don't recall you using your regular username of "GlitchyBugger" this just added to the confusion. Trust me, if I knew what username you used on the backup site I would have probably contacted you at somepoint (most likely to bitch at you more then notify you but thats not the point).

I'm not in any administrative power here so basically Im just telling you this as a friend.

As for not learning in two years its more believable then you may think. I say this because generally having reasoning calms me down a bit and maybe it would help you out as well. Within the one and a half years (18 months) Niji and Shinichi would have to travel back to Kumo after being notified about Kumo's victory (this may take a month or two just due to how disconnected the team was from everyone else.) Additionally the whole team would have a lot more to focus on then just simple training. Most of the time would probably be dedicated to rebuilding the town all while defending from potentially raiders, this obviously not leaving a bunch of time for straight up learning. 

You could of course argue that while defending the town you would gain experience but at most it would just strengthen a variety of jutsu and not build up a whole new technique.

Hopefully this helps you out a bit but if not I don't know what to tell you. I'm sure as a team, Shinichi and Niji can progress fairly quickly and this whole confusion wouldn't even matter. I guess the easiest way to prevent this confusion from happening again is to make yourself easily reachable while you go on hiatus. Put your skype (or something) in your signature or on your profile (I don't know if you can currently do that or not on the current guild) and try to keep a consistant username between the backup-site and the main guild. If we can easily reach you this problem shouldn't repeat itself.
