Re: The LOA Thread
A bit of downtime...
Since Microvision finished last weekend I've stepped away from Micras a little bit. Usually I check the hub and the bastion several times a day, or trawl through the wiki, but I've been cutting back on it over the past week.
The main reason is I'm a bit worn out with it all. Micras at the minute for me seems to be one big project after the other; over the past two months I first had the World Cup (with Craitman) and Microvision to organise and sort out, which whilst really fun to do, are quite draining. Additionally, I've been working on the Elo Rankings for well over a year now, which is a massive project. And whilst I have been able to rope Craitman into helping me complete that, adding 2000+ football results to a chart and having to change over 10,000 variables takes its toll.
I seem to go from one big project to the next, and even with Senya, I've long since not had any great ambitions or ideas with what to do with it. I have a few ideas with the Northern Senya expansion that I completed a few months ago, but they all seem to lead into yet more big projects that I really don't fancy embarking on.
This isn't me leaving Micras, I still will make the occasional edit/forum post when inspiration hits me, but I do want to take a bit of a concerted time out from Micras in general for a while. I'll still be able to kick on Discord if needs be, but I'm just not really feeling passionate about Micras at the moment and I really want to concentrate on other things in my life right now.
Thanks,
Barnaby.

Re: The LOA Thread
I'll be taking a long sabbatical from the community due to recent high-profile events causing a severe unwillingness to work on my nation. Also my mental health has been deteriorating rapidly over the past few weeks and I need to sort that out as soon as I can.
If anyone urgently needs to contact me, my Discord DMs are open but I will be muting the Discord.

Re: The LOA Thread
Despite my comments in the Jingdaoese LOA thread, I'm not going to post an LOA here. The Heavenly Light's love and dedication to all his servants on Micras remains uncompromised.

Re: The LOA Thread
I'm not going to be as active here in the coming few weeks. Life and health issues have been taking turns kicking my ass. My usual narrative is still on (the Jing know what that is ), but my progress has ground to a screeching halt. I intend to edit the wiki article for Ralgon and its territorial divisions to continue my focus on the two big ass islands they're currently on, and also establish a random penal colony in the middle of nowhere. I apologize for my lack of posts, but I'll be better on the uptake after a few weeks have gone by.

Re: The LOA Thread
My work schedule is starting from tomorrow, I won't be around for only 2-3 weeks.I'm not going to be active from tomorrow, I can only check Discord once on my way home.My own cellular network is about to end, so I can't be active, but I can look at it once when I come home on November 6th.Since I can't be active, I've been active on the wiki and Bastion today.
I plan to go back on November 15th.

Sort of loa, have been sick all year..
Re: The LOA Thread
Just a heads up, but due to the COVID-19 quarantine my wife is working from home and using the desktop (where I normally work from). I'm juggling home/remote schooling with my son and then off to work because I'm still essential. So my activity is going to be relatively low until this whole thing blows over.

Re: The LOA Thread
I will be relatively inactive over the next few weeks. In a few days I'll be moving to a new city I'm unfamiliar with, and I'll be starting college again. It'll take me time to adjust to the new time schedules and figure out where I can work between things.
I'll keep y'all updated over Discord as the situation evolves.

Re: The LOA Thread
A lot of stuff is going on in my personal life, I've been quite quiet over the past few weeks anyways, but felt I should put this explainer up just as a head's up.

Re: The LOA Thread
So, the next week or two might be a little occupied by other things for me, so I'm going to at least make the downtime official. Will still pop my head in the door when possible, but won't be as accessible as usual.
Any problems with anything MCS-y, if they really can't wait, can go to Joe or Ric's respective capable hand...

Re: The LOA Thread
I am on indefinite leave of absence due to IRL events going on, as well as to focus on conflicting obligations and prevent burnout.
I'll post here when I make a full return. Until then, I aim to make occasional edits to keep RAL and HEX on the map.
