I write this with a heavy heart. I am no longer capable of keeping up with Imperium. My real life commitments grow heavier, and I do not have time to play Imperium any longer, for the foreseeable future.

It has been a long time of playing for me, and one which leaves me with no regrets but one, that I cannot contend against those who remain and those who will follow. Still, I trust that you will all remain active and allow for Imperium to continue.

I want to thank everyone who I have interacted with at Imperium over the years. Some of them will not read this, but I want to mention their names anyway - some were the truly greats of the game whom I have emulated.

Victorius Marius - without peer!
Caius Livius - Our Augustus
Decius Aemilius
L. Terentius Varro
Gn. Atius Pertinax
P. Curius Hibernicus
P. Manlius Torquatus
Caius Fabius Mutinense

A special thanks to Andrew for all the time and effort he has put into the game in the past several months. He has made it a very difficult decision for me to leave because I like his umpiring style (though I don't get my way nearly often enough) and I like the fun he brings to the game. Keep it going Andrew. Maybe one day things will settle down for me and I will have time to return to Imperium. If that is so, I hope to find you here directing it, or at least still playing.

Farewell to my friends. I will try to stop by and say hello from time to time.
