I am prepared to take up moderator duties then, even if it means giving up my character.

Well you're character isn't a party leader so I don't think it would be necessary for you to forfeit the character? I would be fine with it if you kept the character.

Agreed. I would be totally willing to let you keep your character, too - you could think of it as a perk for stepping up and saving our hides.

I think i'm gonna have to drop out.

Unfortunately, I think I'll have to do the same.

[wxtransit]

Just in case anyone was wondering: I'm not dropping out because of GoTfan becoming a moderator--I think he'll be a great one, in fact--I've been busy since I signed up a few months ago and I don't have the time that I did back then, and I just noticed that this was still going on.
