: : : : : Good Morning to one and all,
: : : : :
: : : : : As we already have rumours floating about and Jim has posted the vacancy, I thought it only fair to let you all know from the Wolfes mouth. You're all aware of how poor my posting has been of late and how much that has screwed up the ship, especially on top of everything we had with losing Russ as GM in the circumstances we did. Not being one of those CO's whose fingers have to be prised cold and dead from the Captain's chair, I have decided that the only fair thing for you and the ship is for me to resign as CO.
: : : : :
: : : : : Jim has accepted my resignation and we're currently on the lookout for a replacement. I will be staying aboard until a replacement is in position and of course I'll be finishing out the sim, though I don't anticipate that taking more than a week or two. When that's done, Dave will be coming aboard as the new GM.
: : : : :
: : : : : You all know how I feel about the merits of promoting from within and I'd really like one of you to replace me. I'd encourage all who are interested to apply, I know the ship would be in good hands with any one of you at the helm.
: : : : :
: : : : : I've truly enjoyed the past three years in command of the Athena and you have been a truly outstanding crew who have put up with some awful moments from me, especially during my time as President. Each and every one of you deserves a medal for sticking with me and we have managed to assemble one of the very best and most talented crews in the club. I'm very sad to be leaving but I know with Ian as XO and all of you still with us, the ship will go on from strength to strength.
: : : : :
: : : : : I wish you all the very best and if any of you ever need anything, you know where I am.

: : : : : Commodore Andrew "Wolfe" Robinson
: : : : : Commanding Officer, Athena
: : : :
: : : : I am so sorry to here this news Andy. :( I've really enjoyed the short time I've had posting on this ship along with your character as the captain (one of the many reasons for my request to join the Athena.).
: : : :
: : : : I hope all goes well for you in the states and I hope that we will soon run into each other again on this forum.
: : : :
: : : : Jewell
: : :
: : : I'm sorry to hear this Andrew. As my first CO from leaving the Academy it feels rather poignant.
: : :
: : : Matt
: :
: : Sorry to read that Andy. I'm gonna miss you. Take care and best wishes.
: : Dan
:
: Sigh! I'll miss you too Andy, perhaps you can visit every now and then and play Gorbi :) Thanks for doing your best in a trying situation it says a lot about who you are as a person.
: To the rest of you. I won't be applying for CO as I'm already CO on the Lexington and I don't want to spread myself too thin. I'm also happy to work under any of you if you want a shot at the Captain's chair and as a Captain I can even provide you with a reference if you so wish (send no money! lol).
: Ian

Darn, first I have to leave the Entente and now I'm deprived of your brilliant writing talent here as well Andy? It's not fair, I wanna RP with one of the best writers in the club...why do we always get seperated? :(

Real shame to see you go man. Hope we get to play alongside each other again in the near future. Live long and prosper whatever the case.
