I'd not have guessed who you were.

I must say, I was shocked to see you as dread lord. It seemed like one day you were handing me Vaessima's loot, and I was thinking, "Silly bloodoath, I'd keeep that if it were me."

Then you rose fast, and in my eyes, became too cocky for your own good. While I realize it goes with an high ranking imperial, it seemed like you went a little overboard. But it was was fun - it allowed a few subtle insults to be tossed back and forth over the CB.

I would have been a little bit more caustic that day when I got anathema, but I was worrying about other things than you at the moment.

You should have stuck it out. I recognize there is a problem with snowballing logons in Empire, but it's not something everyone does, just a handfull. Usually it's a few core players who are on, and then the supplimental imperials decide to log on.

Point is...Empire lost a lot of people in a short period time, and it'll take some time to replace them. I personally have a weird schedule...I work on alternating weeks during the summer, so one week I have a lot of free time, and the next...I'm run ragged with work/school/real life. People do have real lives, and I like to give them the benefit of the doubt.
