Gentlemen,
I'll be in Berlin from Saturday 'till Wednesday, and thus out of the loop until Thursday. Until my return the Regional Governors have direct control over their territories.

Gentlemen,
I'll be in Poland from Thursday 'till Tuesday, and thus out of the loop until Wednesday. In my absence might I suggest you do not exasperate the regional governors overly much, lest you find their definition of troubleshooting to be awfully literal.

Re: Long Abscence Thread.
My right-honourable friends.
I am going to be taking an indefinite leave of absence as I wish to concentrate my formidable mental powers on a few things developing in my life which I don't think will leave much room for my shenanigans on here. I'm afraid I will not be posting or reading here until I either achieve the success of my dreams or develope better time management skills, whichever comes first.
My apologies for the melodrama, but I thought I ought to give a bit of notice just in case anyone thought I had died.

Re: Long Abscence Thread.
Holy crap, I almost forgot about this place. Did ya miss me?
I've still been working on my universe, but over the past year or two my focus has changed somewhat. I've been filling in some gaps in future history, I'm no longer afraid to stand on the soapbox a bit, and I've also decided on a different name: Nova Mundi!
Since the stuff here is mainly focused on far-future stuff, it shouldn't be too difficult to stitch the two together. I just wish my Decade 13 stuff was still around, because my old computer packed in and I have been unable to retrieve my copious files and notes. I'm hoping one day to take my old HD to a data recovery specialist. Thankfully I have been making hardcopy notes in addition to my online storage options.
I'm back!

Re: Long Abscence Thread.
Yay, my favorite worldbuilder is back!
Looking over your Nova Mundi stuff, I have to say that it's pretty awesome, if somewhat blunt regarding its ideology (I guess that's the charm). It also reminds me of my current work in some aspects, namely the very heavy transhumanist bent, singularity-like ideas, and far-future universal exploration. I look forward to seeing how you play around with the concept.

Re: Long Abscence Thread.
As much as I'd like to steam ahead with more ADVENT REY, I'll be off the grid for the next seven days for a vacation behind the Great Firewall. See you until then.

On iPad right now. Laptop is in a critical condition and I'm trying to fix it at the moment. Won't be posting long posts for a while.

Disregard that long absence notice. I discovered that I could simply boot in Safe Mode with Networking. So now I can surf the net while fixing it ghetto style!

I'll be in Belgium for a Leonard Cohen concert all weekend, so probably incommunicado 'till Sunday night.

Re: Long Abscence Thread.
^Me too, I trust it was fantastic.
I know I haven't been posting much anyway, so again apologies for the melodrama, but I am going to be staying off the board completely until sometime in the new year, hopefully this means I will not use lurking here and contemplating posts I won't make as a way of distracting myself, and I won't make pointless 1-note posts that just clog up the forum like...
Anyway
Fare thee well

Gentlemen,
I'll be in Rome from the 22nd through to the 26th of October, so Monday 'till Friday. Until then... Oh you know, regional governors and all that jazz. Don't break nothing while I'm gone!

Re: Long Abscence Thread.
RAAARRRGGHHH!!
I failed once again on my NaNoWriMo. I learned that I must plan my novels even earlier and read more books. And not download an emulator for a game while I'm doing so.
And play Dungeons and Dragons.
And worry too much about the current state of the novel.
And...
Anyway, I'm back, so I'll be focusing on Omniverse One again. I now have a better appreciation for my other unfinished works. I'll probably come back to them soon.
But first, a review needs to be written!

Gentlemen,
I'll be in Berlin for the weekend, and thus unavailable for comment. It's not exactly a 'long absence' but hey, the more you know!

Phew. Suppose this counts as a record for Longest Absence?
