I have been busy recently in RL and what ingame time I have has been devoted to the PAS Auctions. I haven't had the time to provide good leadership to PAE, and have not been able to do it any justice.
Therefore, I am stepping down as PAE GM for the time being, and Utgo is taking my place as the PAE GM. I will still help with PAE when I find time to, and I support his decisions 100%, and will make myself available to him if he wants advice or help with PAE. I support him, and I hope and expect that PAE will do the same.
Over the next few months I will be largely unavailable. I have a month long army course starting on May 22nd, and ending on June 22nd, at which time I'll be taking two weeks of leave and driving to Texas and Oklahoma (and will hopefully be able to make it in time for the last day of the 4 day RL get together at KDs).
When I get home from leave I'll start outprocessing from Fort Gordon, and at the end of July I will be leaving to move (PCS) to Fort Meade, Maryland, and my report date there will be August 1st. After a couple weeks of situating and moving in, getting cable and internet set up, etc, I should be back online.
So, aside from this next auction, I may not be online much at all until mid August. I don't generally cut my UO time short during the summertime, but this year seems to be an exception.
Hopefully when I come back in mid August I will have a work schedule that will allow me to start regularly going to PAS events again, and getting back into the UO swing of things.
In my absence, Utgo and KD will do what they can to keep the auctions going, so after this next auction, please ICQ Utgo or KD to submit items to the auction until I return.
Thanks for everyone's support as PAE GM over the last year and a half, and I hope that support will be extended to Utgo in my absence.
