Dame, I don't want to get down on you, but I think it's a little unfair for you to post that you're leaving, then wait until Capone has filled your slot to express publicly that you regret doing that.  It's unfair to Lynette and it's unfair to Capone.  He clearly has a limit on the players he feels comfortable GMing and not only did you take one of those slots when you first joined, you are trying to reclaim it now after you've already given it up.  That puts Capone in the very difficult position of having to either force you to stick to your decision to leave, refuse to let Lynette in after he already told her she could join, or GM for a larger group than he'd planned on.
