I'm sorry for being so shitty.
I left for a few months because of personal stuff. Before that, I left because I was a total asshole. I try to justify it to myself by arguing it was a cry for help re: backend development for the server, but there is no justifying my asshoolary.
You all deserve deep felt apologies.
And now, I return earnestly and jump knee deep into discussions of law, history, lore, and more as I dig through the archives of the library. I found a small entry that defined the Regent's role a defending the traditions of the spirit of Hemertia, so I guess that emboldened me to play that role again. I failed you all, and those duties in the past. So surely many of you are reasonably annoyed that I have returned with an aura of entitlement to relive that responsibility.
'what an asshole! He been gone, and comes back talking about history, and emotionally defending interpretations of lore and history!? How dare he.'
If any of you feel this you have every right. I'm sorry and I'm sorry if I perpetuate this. Just know: I have nothing to gain in defending tradition. Ultimately my many devil advocate moments will piss lots of you off. Know I will always acquiesce to the community, Duke, and council will. But that won't stop me from trying to uphold my duty, even in the face of my terrible record doing this as of late. I'm a sworn devil's advocate, and I know I bother some doing this. Soooorrry.
But consider me a sometimes annoying but always dependably conservative voice, that will very often be wrong, but nonetheless cares deeply about all of you.
If you'll have me, I'll be honored to play my role. I missed all of you, and missed the history. I even missed the butting heads
Thanks for your patience with me.
