OK, let me at least try and smooth things over.
I am not angry with anyone about this, or indeed do I put any blame on anyone at all. The problem was me neglecting to follow the thread closely enough, coupled with the fact I was offline when most of the serious movement happened. I'd rather not see people giving up their chance to be a part of this RP just so I can be involved, nor do I want the whole thing shaken up just to try and accommodate me. Because really demanding that people radically alter an RP or indeed any project to suit one person is quite frankly one of the most selfish things you can do in any creative endeavour.
So while I will definitely be following the game and hope that everyone involved enjoys it, that's why I'm stepping back into the shadows.
