I'm saddened to come home and see once again that you have left us Robin. I've always said that, even though this is the internet and for the most part it is not "real," we spend a hell of a lot of time doing what we do and for that it is a part of our lives and has a definite realistic quality to it. In saying that, I consider you a true friend and you will be missed.
As Aaron has said though, just remember where your friends are. Just because you aren't tagged with our guild name doesn't mean you aren't forever a part of it. In my eyes you have left on good terms and for reasons which we can't control or help with. You are always welcome here.
I would also like to take the time to welcome Jimmy and Dan to Empire. I have known Dan for several years. He is an old friend from our days of Diablo II clanning and, unfortunately, a lower education on certain aspects of the internet community. Though many things have happened, often times events that were blown out of proportion to there purpose, he has stood by Ed and myself and proven that he is a loyal and trustworthy friend. His attitude is somewhat different from most people, but I have no doubt in my mind that he will not disappoint.
Jimmy is just the resident random, but even so he knows I
him.
