This is very nice, thank you for the sentiments.

I had a heart attack nearly three years ago, which almost took me off this planet, away from my daughter, husband, family and friends. I was 42. One of the contributing factors was emotional stress. I played this game and joined the wiki for fun. It’snot fun, and is causing me emotional stress. I dont say this for sympathy or props or kudos, but so that you know why I’m not here to stay. I’m in good health now and I want to keep it that way.

Misunderstandings are one thing, outright nastiness is another. I can generally mend the misunderstandings—those happen often, because I’m human—but the nastiness is uncalled for. And it hasn’t just been to me. Diana named me, but she could very well have named many other people, some who’ve left, and some who’ve stayed. I take this post as asking people to be kind to each other.

Chase, you know that welcoming and helping new people *is* being social, right? Contributing to the wiki is being social. Diana isn’t taking a swipe at you, or anyone else. It’s actually acknowledging your contributions, saying it’s not players like you who ask for help, but that you are the ones that give it. If saying to keep things friendly is putting someone in their corner and telling them to shut up, well, I just don’t know how her words could be interpreted that way.

Anyway, it’s been really nice getting to know so many of you. I’ll still be around in the game—I’m not killing my progres, and I’ll obviously still want to keep up my paws and caskets addiction moving forward. 😉
