I don't really know how to start this, except to say that more than I have ever meant it, I'm sorry for vanishing like that. I'll tell you all what I told Lara, that what happened was a combination of things. After the move, and the absurdly long time that it took to get internet (well, stable internet), I pretty much got buried in my work. My little sister was living with me as well by then, and there were some serious problems between her and my girlfriend. It was a pretty rough time, and I just had less and less time to myself and for the things I loved doing. One day, I looked up and realized I hadn't been around here in a long, long time... I wasn't sure what you guys would think of me by then, and I guess I figured you'd be pissed that I hadn't delivered on my end of things for the single player portion of the mod. I was pretty embarrassed, and handled it wrong.
First and foremost... I never, ever, meant to ever give the impression that I had been hurt. While Hawaii is plagued by disasters of all shapes and sizes, I'm a hardy beast and our island rarely gets anything worse than a heavy rain now and then. Oahu's pretty safe, it's the Big Island that gets hammered.
I understand if you guys are pissed. I think I might be too. But know that you guys are some of the best people I've met in a long time, and I miss you all. Every day I look through my folders I see the story I began so long ago, and it kills me that I didn't finish it for you all.
...I can't tell you how good it made me feel to see that email from Lara. All I can say now is I'm sorry.
-Mike

All I can say is that I'm really happy to see you back here, and I bet none of the people on this forum are angry in anyway. Most will just be happy to hear you're still ok If you check out the thread you made you'll see people were actually worried about you more than anything else. I'm glad that I found your email addy and was able to mail you. Welcome back sweety

Hey Uwa, I was beginning to think they sacrificed you to some obscure gods in the volcano of the main island there ;D But actually, Lara´s last post in "Survival" got me thinking. The last thing I remember hearing from you was about you loosing your house to some ... less-than-nice landlord and something about an earthquake. And then you were gone. Since I didn´t contribute to this community more than some beta map testing I´m not in the position to give you absolution regarding the single player topic. Mostly because I don´t even know what you vowed to do about it . Anyway, let me be the second in line to welcome you back in the forums. Can´t write much more now, I´m at work and I´m beginning to receive strange looks for not working. I´m pretty sure everyone else will welcome you back with open arms, too. edit: Make that third in line.

Well, well, well! Welcome back you scurvy dog, you! Seriosuly, don't even worry about the community, everyone here still loves you, and all the new comers are sure to be thrilled to meet you. Either way, as soon as you can, you have to download the new Community Patch that was just released, and get time for a game with whoever is willing to join, I know I'm in as soon as I get the internet back up at my house, which should be tomorrow (Friday). Really though, welcome back

nobody was pissed, as the others said. But we were worried. And I was worried, that we would never get an ending D:
but seriously, welcome back!

hey uwasaya welcome back Its really good to seee you here again. Because before I took a little time out the forum was rules by the Kings: Alex, Pix,Abyx,ZombieButcher and you. When I joint the community again 2 weeks ago I firstly got a shock. ZB got Banned, XPC vanished(and i also saw nearly no members of it) , no words from Alex,faust was gone and you were away too. But it seems my first impression was wrong: I met Laramee yesterday (yay ) you are here again and The Community updates KF. Its good to see you back again. And now: Complete the F*cking story !! xD

Too little, too late. If you want my forgiveness, I demand naked pictures.
...Seriously though, good to see ya back. Lets see... The community patch is coming soon(tm), ZB pulled a michael richards and is either banned or just doesn't come along anymore. I've got another lost chapter or two in the works(perhaps a prequel, showing the team member who wolf replaced dying), but I can't seem to make it not suck. There are a couple maps coming out that look pretty cool, too. Bioshock is gonna be awesome, as is devil may cry 4, and other such things. Oh, and I'm apparently the new moo.
Also, I challenge you to a story-off. Whoever finishes a chapter first wins. What's the prize?
...sammich?
EDIT: Also I'm a doctor now, due to I finished trauma center on the DS.

Lara, thanks for bringing me back... Medic, it's good to see you again... and I really am sorry for making you all worry. As for being back to work... lol... Blue, you don't have to worry too much about this little island... the bigger ones next to us usually suck up the pain first. Thanks for the welcome... it's really, really good to be back. Grim... wow, you're the only one who changed their avatar... lol. Hey Protector! Thanks for the welcome back... I'll see what I can do about that ending... Abyx... man, I missed you. You guys wouldn't mind an old shotgun whore like me back in a couple of games, would ya? Echo, not sure if I met you before. If so, then I'm sorry, I'm bad with da memoureez. I look forward to gaming with you sometime though! Kyben... well, I live again... lol. And this time hopefully for awhile longer. Being dead sucks. Cheffe... wow, long time no see man. Glad to see so many are still around! Can't believe ZB got banned... well, I can... just was surprised. And Macon... I missed you too man, and yes, Bioshock will rule my world. Can't wait. I'll get right on those naked pictures, but for now, just stew in my complete pwnage of you by checking the Survival thread. Free sammich baby. I missed you all. Like hell.

I was missed... (L) Anyway, the XPC is gone, but I think a few of us getting together for a game would be splendid. By the way Macon, the patch is already out.
