The Jedi win first and then go to war, while those corrupted by the dark side go to war first and then seek to win.

My personal soap box…

The time has come for me to step down. I’ve been doing this leadership thing for the past 25 months and honestly, I’m getting tired. There is a lot in my personal life that I need to work on, which had pulled me away from giving 110% for a while now and as much as I hate leaving, I need to focus on real life. Shortly after the close of the Butcher series I will take a long LOA to get those things back in order. After my hibernation, hopefully by Spring, you’ll see the return of this handsome SOB just itching to get back into a leadership position again and overflowing with piss and vinegar like I was in my early days. So fret not, ladies and gentlemen.

I do have to say that serving in a leadership position in Odan-Urr has been just an amazing experience. There are a lot of great people and it’s all of you that make this worth doing. Let’s face it; if this place sucked, I wouldn’t have stuck around so long.

So thank you Odan-Urr for being my home for the past four years. Thank you past and current Summits for giving me the opportunity to serve as both BTL and AED. Thank you both House Hoth and Strike-Team Ooroo for being the two best units in the Clan. Oh and they are because I said so, so na-na na-na boo boo, stick your head in doo doo.

Now I know you guys don’t care about all that gushy stuff, just that there is a chair awaiting a new butt. Nathan, who I regret not being able to work with long, will provide details in the future about how he will fill the position. I will be around for a while to run the Butcher and anything else he would like help with but this will be my last report.

Butcher: The Final Chapter

The finishing touches are being put on Episode IV of the Butcher series and you can expect an email out from me within the next few days. Bet you get tired of hearing this but much of the outcome of this entire series rests in your hands. I have an idea for the closing fiction but much of it will be influenced by the winning submission for the fiction comp. So, as always, PARTICIPATE! If nothing else just write something. Anything. It doesn’t even have to be serious. I’ll figure out a way to make it work.

Just have fun with it 
