Well, was simple in a way, since Mindstar9 was a great team member on Cyrene and she left about the same time NI crashed, I was just interested in the overall status of EU's health.
I assure you my dear, that stepping down from my Cyrene position has absolutely nothing to do with anything Next Island, or any other planet, OR ... the state of EU affairs, and ... everything to do with my wanting to expand the media operations to what we launched a few days ago. However, we are only getting started.
When in an official position, there are guidelines that must be followed, and I firmly believe in them, and respect Ed immensely for keeping them in check, so this also has nothing to do with him either - it's all on me. However, as mentioned before, Ed and I have not closed any doors, and are exploring alternatives to the writing. As he says, it's important that we do this in a proper way, and I'm on board with that. I absolutely love working with Ed and developing story arc and collaborating on the writing, and it is my grandest hope that we will be able to continue with such.
In the meantime ... Syer and I will absolutely showcase Cyrene in all its glory, especially after the hardcore launch, when I'm sure we will be dazed and dazzled at what the C-Team presents to us. Syer and I will be on top of it, and will present it all as a featured story at the new MSM website.
Thank you for your interest, and perhaps concern about this, but all is just fine.
