Where did he go? (I assume that s/he is a he, since I still haven't heard of any girls playing this game, feel free to surprise me if you know otherwise ) I miss him, and I'm quite disappointed in some way I must say. You don't just don't give all that you've got and suddenly drop out! Though I could understand him if something important happened to him IRL. Some of us have got a life.
JBN did many great things. We have him to thank for many important contributions to our game, and many fun hours of roleplaying. I will remember him as a both funny and kind person. But foremostly, I will remember him as a pursuant of realpolitik, JBN knew that our ideological views were vastly different both IC and IRL, with him being a liberal socialist, and me being a right-wing conservative christian democrat and catholic on top of that. But he didn't care, neither IC or OOC, he was a nice fellow anyhow. One of the most important developments in the ATR from yet after he started it towards his disappearance I would expound as the transformation from a cultural radicalist organization, towards the acceptance of authoritarians and nationalists into it. I was myself welcomed as I realized that my claim on Pontesi was in direct conflict with the IML's agenda. For JBN, the most important thing was the world-wide dominance of the ATR. I for myself, hope that we'll continue in this direction so that dictators not recognized by the IML can work with us instead.
I understand what I just wrote might look as a mess of OCC and IC. I guess what I wanted to say can be lined down to: "Why isn't JBN with us anymore?" and "Why hasn't anybody reacted to this?" To me, it feels like a great loss..
