Hiatus

I will be away from CLOK for an indeterminate amount of time.
My brother helped me realize something important the other day: When I was going through a really rough period of my life, video games were my escape. Nothing necessarily wrong with that, as most people in that sort of situation turn to drugs and alcohol instead and now their lives are a wreck, but it means I have this deeply rooted habit of gaming. Games like MUDs are the worst for me because my competitiveness drives me to be the best, and the fact that they are always on means that when I'm not playing I feel like I'm falling behind. When I started playing CLOK I was in another rough period, but I don't need that escapism anymore. That habit is getting in the way.
So I will be doing other things for a while. If you need to talk to Elystole about something critically important, PM me and I'll see about logging on briefly.
