I haven't seen any of your latest incarnations, but the ones I have seen are a lot of help and a lot of fun.
I still remember your priest taking the time (a LOT of time) to help a clueless newbie get her worthless stuff back, explaining what had happened, RPing wonderfully the entire time, with never a hint of impatience. You were one of the players that really made SK an enjoyable, learnable experience, at a time that could have consisted of sheer frustration.
I really hope you're not leaving SK for good. I hope you get a good break, come back bursting with character ideas you're itching to try, and find less frustration with the politics and such.
And play a greybie. It's a wonderful break from all that horrible caring about one side or the other.
