One Note On A Glittery Pink Sock

[Lynxi]

This is a strange announcement- one I didn't think that I'd be making for at least a few more months. Ultimately there are a lot of tings outside of this game that are driving me to do this a bit early, however, and so it goes. I think that it's important to know when the world outside of NS is in need of more focus. Sometimes it needs all of one's focus, and its glaringly clear that this is the case for me. I won't go into the details- both because I don't want to divulge said details and also because they're not really important in terms of what I have to say today. But soon I'm going to vacate the delegacy.

And that leaves me with a big decision.

This announcement is the big reveal of my HA. I'm proud of this person, who I actually didn't know all that well before working with them here. I was initially a tiny bit unsure if they'd fit the shoes I wanted them to fill, but they performed admirably and became exactly what I needed when I took the seat as Pharaoh. Now, in a moment that's likely catching most of the region offguard, the tables have turned. They'll need people to help them out as they progress and as the region progresses around them.

Being Pharaoh isn't an easy job. There are tons of pitfalls and snakes in this game, and not a lot of them are obvious. So to be Pharaoh one must have the ability to duck and weave a good bit- but one most also understand that for all its tension and momentum, NS is a game. You have to have fun with your community, build stuff together that will last past your term, and #Bully a few people along the way. That juggling act of work and play is integral in this meritocracy. I believe, with most of my socks, that Anabelle has that dynamic.

So please, when she takes the delegacy, remember if you don't work your ass off for her I'm gonna put soap into a few of my socks and glare menacingly in your direction. But also remember that we all want this region to do well, and that comes from both the work of the Pharaoh and the work you do in return. Lead raids, write articles, finally get to hammering out that endorsement program or something- do the small tings so she can do the big tings. She's earned that respect and she's gonna be a great Pharaoh because of it. :3

Love y'all.
P.S. Sorry I didn't get to 275, Ham. ;-;

Love you so incredibly much, Lynxikins. Proud of you.

[Lukatonia]

Congratulations Ana! Loves and stuff to both of you

[Malphe]

Aww, definitely not long enough but IRL > NS, you know what's best for you. You've been an amazing Pharaoh + I'm sure Ana will be an amazing Pharaoh too! congrats

[Koth]

I'm sorry that RL decided that it wouldn't let you live up to your potential as Pharaoh. You did great, and I'm glad Anabelle gets to learn from you.

[Halo]

Oh no!
We only had a glimpse of the awesome pharaoh you were sure to be!
Real life should be banned.
It's understandable, though.
Anabelle will be terrific!
Hail Lynxi!
Hail Anabelle!
Hail Osiris!

Sad to see you hampered by the world outside of the game. Without those complications... well, there's no telling how high you could have risen. But obviously the world is a bitch sometimes and needs our attention. I wish you the best.

Best of luck to Ana, I'm sure you'll do great too

[Skies]

Does this mean I can steal my socks back without fear of governmental repercussions? :p

But seriously, rl comes first, always. You've been a great Pharaoh.

Congratulations Ana! Best of luck!

[Anabelle]

I'm sorry that RL is being a bench. It has truly been a great honor working with you and I hope that conditions improve as much as possible as soon as possible.

I'm honored and humbled by your faith in me. I will endeavor to do my best for Osiris and to make you proud!


Hail Osiris!
