Join the new world

I once swore not to log back into this dying husk of a game, but then something amazing happened and I was forced to reconsider my position, albeit slightly.

I have an amazing friend, who I used to play this game with. Try as I may, I haven't been able to wrest her away from it and every one of my triumphs elsewhere has felt dampened by her absence.

Though I know she's proud of what I've done, without ever knowing the specifics, there is always the sense that I wanted to share it. I longed to hear that faintest sound of her silent approval in my victories and the faintest sound of her silent empathy for my tribulations and the reassurance it gives me to know that I know the difference.



I don't know why she stays here but I suspect it's to do with her self-assigned duty to shepherd the stray cats that happen past her. She, like I, has a certain affinity for collecting puzzle pieces that cannot seem to fit. You see, the ones that don't fit are made for one very particular purpose and finding it is one of life's greatest rewards, if you ask me.

Perhaps I project too much of myself on her, though. I've always struggled with how much we have in kind such that, at times, I mistake her for being myself.

In a game full of blowhards, braggarts and mouth-pieces there is all too little recognition of those who quietly toil away and need never speak of their achievements and never ask recognition for their service. There are precious few people of that quality in the world, let alone here.

This game and whatever keeps her in it has robbed me of her company and, in all the ways I can think of, that is the only thing that makes me jealous of those who are here and, of all the things I can think of, that is the only thing that has ever tempted me to come back.

As someone who has not even mustered the interest to run an article, yet, in the game I play to inform the public that I will not be seeking another term, I hope you understand the gravity of my coming here to give her my support and the passion with which I do support.

You need understand only this, though;

Whatever choice you make on the fifth, it will be the right one, as if you do not elect rainysunday as your next President you fully do not deserve rainysunday as your next President.

You probably don't even deserve her, anyway.

Love,
