It has come to my attention...
Aug. 12th, 2009 08:05 pm... that some people aren't aware that I will probably stop playing NERO during the two - three year period that I'll be staffing 7 Virtues. Oh yeah, in case you didn't know it, I'll be staffing 7 Virtues.
My time with Monique is precious and far more rare than I'd like. As such, adding a third LARP without dropping one of the other two is a bad thing. Much as I love Kumir (my absolute favorite character ever), I love the game of Madrigal far more than NERO and my team at Madrigal is the most awesome, tremendous, stupendous group of people ever. Therefore, for at least the run of 7V, I'm going to give up NERO.
Now, that being said, when I first mentioned to Monique that I was going to staff 7V and give up NERO to make time for it, her first response was, "Will the 7 Virtues events be on the same weekends as the NERO events?". This may seem like a silly question, considering that neither game has a 2010 schedule, but the interesting thing is that it implies that she might be open to letting me play 7V in addition to NERO and Madrigal. I am not going to push for this. As I said, my time with her is precious, moreso than NERO as a third game and I don't want to cause either of us strife by pushing for something like that. If it happens that I can play a couple times a year, great. If not, oh well.
Finally, I've been asking myself how it is that some people who have grown close to me in the past year to a year and a half didn't know about something like this and it occurred to me that I have been mentally prepping for this for over two years, since Melissa first asked me to do it. I knew then what it would mean and I accepted it. I guess that I just never stopped to think about it as news to people who came into my circle of friends after that time frame. So to those of you in that situation (i.e. silway), my deepest apologies for the backward way you may have found out.
