Apparently my departure has raised a few ripples. Although I only have a couple of minutes to explain (as I'm at work), let me give it a shot.
First - Cotal (er, Amidala), Alex, and those others who've said they plan to stay:
Thank you very much, and I appreciate your sentiments. The whole point of all of my activities in this empire was to create a climate where people are welcome. If you're reading into my comments that I didn't want you here, let me correct the impression. Your comments of today show that you have exactly the sort of commitment that ANY empire would be glad to have.
I bowed out because I really didn't like being the subject of a Metaverse scoring experiment played as a joke, particularly after all of the work that's gone into making this a place I enjoy. Hitting #1 should be the high point of any empire. It hits a bit hollow when it's given to you on a platter with the stated intention that it's only a temporary gift. What's the point of an empire if not teamwork, anyway? And how are you going to build teamwork with somebody that says hello by handing you an exit visa?
Matthew, if that wasn't your intention I'm sorry I took it that way. But if enough people keep playing musical empires, the whole point of a scoring system falls apart. Not to mention empires in general.
| if people prefer to think of empires as rigid cliques rather than places where people are free to drop in and visit whenever they wish, perhaps I should be (sniff) going. Maybe I could destroy GROSS by joining it... |
|
Joining is fine. If you want to stay, any empire would be happy to have you. I just didn't feel like dealing with the drama of wondering when you were going to leave.
You'll notice that I'm currently an orphan. If things settle down, I may rejoin the Jedi. But the only other empire I'd even consider would have to be invite-only.
    
| |
|
Sorry - the phone rang and I ended that sort of abruptly. Just re-read what I had put down, and saw that I came across pretty blunt. Matthew, do whatever is fun for you - just realize that others may not react in the same spirit. I'm not asking anybody to go anywhere here; we're each responsible for our own decisions. For the time being, at least, I've made mine.

Welcome to the ranks of the ascendants o great obi-wan. Your path may not have been the regular one but your great deeds and tireless work will long be remembered. The bacon is fabulous up here.

The New Jedi Academy it's needed in these times of fluctuation in The Force, so we have decided to embrace higher dreams and hopes for the rest of the Galaxy.

Obi Wan check your e-mail.

No harm done, few players as myself want to wait until all the waters will return to their levels, I am one player that enjoys been in an empire that wants to play, many empires right now have a big load of non active players and an empire only by invitation it is the answer.

I think it's best if I return to the Fellowship, if they'll still have me. Let's face it, there is no Star Wars equivalent to an elf poet. I considered adopting a new persona, that of Jek Porkins (  Link ), but it's not really me.

Godd night Emperor, your faithful Over Lord still has some work to do before closing the gates of the Castle.

Downie,
You're always welcome in the Halls of the Fellowship. Feel free to return when you're ready!
And just for the record, I apologize for the prank as well. I would have never guessed a couple of players swapping empires for about 20 minutes would cause such turmoil in the Metaverse. For any trouble I have caused or any hard feelings that have been expressed, I am truly very sorry. The Jedi Republic has been and will be a very popular place for me to visit and I wish you all the best. I really hate that Obi-Wan left. I hope that he will return to the Jedi and continue to enhance this empire as much as he has already. Hey, the Jedi website beats the living hell out of anything I can do! You guys have an excellent resource in Obi-Wan.
Again, I'm sorry and hope that the Jedi can accept my humble apology.

I think that we will be back, just waiting a little longer, maybe in the future we could change the empire to invite only, to avoid all this mess.

|
|
| Why did Obi Wan leave? I've read his post a couple of times and still can't fathom the reasoning? |
|
Cotal, as you will no doubt soon be known as again, if an old master may be so blunt, the maddness your little hoppings have caused are why he left. Whether you ment it or not I think you somewhat upset him by toying with the rankings of the metaverse in such a way that months of work from all of us was for nothing. I'll let you chew on that before I say anymore.
