We don't want Boris to go, just be a little bit more flexible.. but if there's one thing I can say about Boris, it's that he's probably the most stubborn person I've ever met (for better and worse).
As for Boris' dramatic statements re: new order, etc., I don't think any of us "newbies" want to see any drastic changes from the core of Pangaea (and in fact Irming and Neon are always around to provide guidance/oversight to make sure things keep authentic). We're just open to question whether things "that have always been" continue to make sense (like the policy of banning a retired GM for a week for every month of service... or whatever it was). Us softies had to fight for Monad and Argon to get their bans reduced to one month (or whatever they ended up with).
We'll love to have Boris as a player if he ever retires, but we'll be sure to ban him for the full allotment, in his honour.
Pangaea will continue to be a tough, dangerous, roleplay world where gains are fought for, and GM behaviour is guided by rules and not individual whims.
And, just like Boris would do for anyone who makes a quit-post, we'll be sure to ban his account as soon as the outstanding projects are done.
Cheers to player-Boris 2015!
And seriously... if anyone is interested in becoming a GM... we're scared... when Boris is gone... where will all the player whine go?... dark times ahead for Ares, Kevin and I... dark times
!
