Just thought some people might appreciate having this somewhere to see since not many were around and I know of at least one person who couldn't get there though he was online. Never know where to put these, so I'll try here to start, and someone can always move it if it's bad.
Won't go into many reasons, at least not yet (I've had this firmly decided for about a week now, and I haven't been able to sleep well all week working up to it, so I'm a bit brain-dead at the moment. Had to be done in Roarkian. Anyway...). Suffice it to say I believe it will be good for me (player at least, character's going to be a bit lost. been thinking I might turn her into even more of an herb-hoarding hermit, maybe write a book or something for the guild) and the guild/commune (to have someone new after I've been MD GM for over a RL year).
Had to sign off after I resigned. Didn't quite realize how it would feel to look at my 'score' and see the CR6 rank 'Forest Warden' there, or look at 'cwho' and not see 'Moonhart Circle' after my name, or look at commune/guild privs and, not so much as having less of them (though there was that too) but having different ones ... like the gr19 'safteynet against being easily kicked out bit'.
Meh, I didn't want to ramble and I'm starting to. Here's what I actually wanted to share (all I announced beforehand on CT was that I intended to reaffirm the Adjuration and invited any and all who wished to witness it):
Forgive it for being a bit clunky at places, I was expanding on the basic one I'd usually done, with some obvious differences in deference to the situation.

I can imagine how hard it was, Tsuki, and I would love to hear your reasons sometime.
It does feel like you've lost something when you have to see that "Forest Warden" stuff...I sympathise. 
You'll always be one of the Greatest High Priestesses the Moondancers have known, and in my heart and mind the best one yet.gonna miss you, though we haven't known together IG, I still say you're one of the best like Diamondais says
take care
take care
sad to see you step down but I can understand why you would need to. Who'm I going to get to balance out my fanaticism and controlly attitude now?
