Some of you have been given this news early because you are working on quests/projects with me, but most of you have not heard the news yet.

 

My wife and I will be moving house this December from Sydney NSW, to Ballarat Vic (969 Kilometers). Since we don't know how long it will take to get work, nor do we even have a place selected to rent yet, I have no idea how long I will be offline. It may only be a day or two, it may be six months.

 

I've had to turn down a lot of offers to work with you as we get ready for this move, and this saddens me :(
Even sadder is that I will likely not be able to participate in the Card Exchange this year :(

 

But it is my goal to at least log on every day to check my messages, so while I may not be able to be very social I will still be around as much as I can! MD is not a place I will ever leave unless I am dead ;)

Hope you'll get back to us soon, but don't return without a good poem about your odyssey! Haven't heard those from you in a while :)

All the best for you & your family ... and I´m sure you will find something good in your new place.

All the best Kyphis. Hope you settle down and get comfortable real soon :)

We'll  be here Kyphis. Take your time and do the things you need to do. And well..what should I say? Pleasant moving? :D Or incident less moving.

And good luck with the jobs finding (and place to rent).

We'll  be here Kyphis.

I would be more worried to see you absent than to see Mur absent.

I hope everything will be fine :) Good luck Kyphis

My thoughts and prayers are with you.  It can be incredibly difficult to move with a child (although I discovered our dog had greater trauma over it).  Be safe and good luck in all your endeavors. *hugs*

Life is movement. Hope this will be a positive experience for you. And come back soon.

Good luck with that embark, I hope you have minimal amounts of fun.

 

Kyphis, don't read the spoiler until you're there: (Those who don't get it should play Dwarf Fortress :P)

[spoiler]

You have arrived. After a journey from the Mountainhomes in the forbidding wilderness beyond, your harsh trek has finally ended. Your party of seven is to make an outpost for the glory of all of MagicDuel.

There are almost no supplies left, but with stout labor comes sustenance. Whether by bolt, plow, or hook, provide for your dwarves (family). You are expecting a supply caravan just before winter entombs you, but it is Spring now. Enough time to delve secure lodgings, ere the black bears (you're in Australia, more like everything :P) get hungry. A new chapter of dwarven history begins here at this place,Ballarat Vic, "(no dwarven translation)". Strike the earth!

 

I am not the original author of that... It is a slightly modified version of the message you get after embarking on Dwarf Fortress (http://www.iceshadow.com/images/dfcastle/0004%20embark.jpg)

Best luck in RL Kyphis the Bard

:)

Good Luck :)

Good luck with the move!

Be happy, Kyphis. Make some beautiful bard songs about all of it!

Take care Kyphis. :)

Be careful of all the Nopes!

Finally got some inspection times booked, that was surprisingly hard o_O

Our first inspection is this Saturday - The house we are in is being settled on the 19th Decemeber. Not exactly a lot of leeway here :P

Take care

Welp, everything is finally sorted out. We move on the 14th of Decemeber, although I will be incredibly busy until then so probably won't have time to chat unless its important (or your feeding me flowers - I always make time for those who feed me flowers. You know who you are).

For those wishing to send christmas cards, the new address is: 64 King Street, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, 3350.
