I'll need to think things over a bit in my head... since I'm not very keen on the idea of someone taking over at the moment.<br/><br/>Generally speaking, I've never seen these sort of instances turn out for the better. And to be completely blunt and upfront, I do feel like continuing without Thunder would only be dragging out the game's inevitable demise for a few days/weeks. By Aethyrium's own admission, they don't have Thunder's notes/plans, and even if they do come back the roleplay might have taken on a completely different path to what was originally planned. I think my biggest drawback is the admission that control would be returned to Thunder if they were to come back. It's a nice gesture, but the transition of power back and forth makes everything seem so clumsily done and could get really messy.<br/><br/>Sorry for being the naysayer in this.  I do respect Aethyrium for stepping up though, and think they could turn this into something interesting...but I just find the whole thing about someone taking over (even babysitting) to be a bit unnerving.
