That's pretty much it.

I decided to pick someone at random and start a quest that would make for the ride of a lifetime. And you were a blast to interact with! I was glad you kept a role going so I could be sure of what was going on in your head while the story moved forward (and I knew when you immediately used the shovel correctly that we could have some fun). You continued to surprise me as we went along, but that kept me on my toes and kept it fun for me too.

I apologize for that. I've started getting more and more involved in sort of volunteer work and I found myself faced with a dilemma. Do I spend my time helping people IRL or playing a fantasy game? Telling stories is fun, and getting people involved in those stories is fun, but... do you see where I'm going? So I ended up taking a step back and some time away from it. If telling this story just ended up in you getting addicted to it and neglecting RL stuff, then that really makes me wonder if I should continue at all.

It was fun though, wasn't it? :)
