Well, I've been afraid of changing 'Cause I built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older I'm getting older too The time has come for a bit of a change for Sunrise. Oh, nothing so drastic as changing it to Barbie Fairy Princess MUCK (unfortunately!). It is my opinion that I have contributed to this MUCK as much as I can, admin-wise. I was around and helpful way back.. uh.. whenever I was first hired on as staff, which was back when Anubis was still around ICly, which makes it quite a while ago indeed. And I helped get this place back on its feet after the dovienya crash. I've done my part and, with Real Life going as it has been lately, I feel that it is time that my leadership come to an end, to make way for those more capable and more able than I. So, it is with a heavy heart that I assume the throne step down as Co-Head Wizard of Sunrise MUCK. I leave the MUCK in the capable hands of everyone's favorite Afya, an appointment that Yllan also heartily approves of, I assure you. I ask that you please go easy on her and the remaining staff for a few days, to let them get things settled between them now that they are one Anubis short. Do not fear, though! Dry those tears (seriously, you guys /were/ crying, right? I didn't mistake cheering for sobbing again, did I?)! I'm /NOT/ leaving the MUCK completely. I still plan on showing up for RP and all that jazz. I still love my current alts. And hopefully now without the constant responsibility of Co-Head Wizardship I will be more available for RP when I'm on. That's good! Right? Yes. Good! Plus, I know that you all would be absolutely heartbroken without me, and I could not break your hearts. <3 I will forever be thankful to Yllan for giving me a chance to staff on Sunrise in the first place. And for later trusting to me the responsibility of leading the MUCK, quite a daunting task when having to follow in her footsteps. To Subiani and Tilyn, who were (and are!) dear friends and who I enjoyed staffing with. To all the current staff, who I love dearly and who I can't admire more for not wanting to kill me as my connections have dropped off the last month or two, leaving them to handle all the work. Or, at least, not wanting to kill me publicly. XD I have loved being a staffer, a Wizard and the Co-Head Wizard of Sunrise MUCK. I have been associated with this MUCK since it began, and even further back when we were all still together on African Tails MUCK. It has been both a joy and an honor to be in a position of leadership like I have. I wish all the best for the rest of the staff as they continue to lead the MUCK without me. I'll see y'all out on the IC grid! Much love and chocolate, -- Anubis (aka: Annie) PS - The topic doesn't lie. I love Taco Bell. <3 Which has nothing to do with anything, except that I wanted everyone to know that. 'Ta! <3

PS - I will still handle the idle purge and forum cleanup I have scheduled, though. No worries. <3

My congratulations to Afya!
I didn't interact with you much in a wizard/player sort of way, Annie, so don't really know what to say about you stepping down, although I'm sure it's well-deserved and I hope you enjoy kicking back a little now.

God, reading this was like....kinda truly sad. I never wrote an official "goodbye" sort of post and now I kinda feel guilty, but I'll try to make it as short as possible... which........ prolly won't work, anyway. XD
Anyway, Annie.. to me, it was always crystal clear that you, along with Affy would step up whenever I'd have to go. I never had any doubt that you'd do an equal and better job than I tried. Although connecting to the MUCK seemed impossible this semester with all the crappity-crap of finals, exams and whatnot, I'll try logging on as soon as I finish finals, which should be around 19th. To finish some things, catch up with others.. and you know, all that neaty stuff.
To Annie, who has been my confident, to whom I ran to when I thought I couldn't hold the HeadWizardship any longer. To Affy, who is a great friend and an even better advisor. To Tilly for making us smile and laugh when we were pulling our hairs off (I think Annie can remember many of those times we sat in an office in those cases.. XD).. Subs who was the iron fist of our team, but a spectacular, amazing girl.. Phrixus, who at some point did a magnificent job with the website... and, well.. everybody who made Sunrise that special; Top of my head are the legendary Onyataa, Unzumi, Velaera, Sharvi, Tajiri, Mguu, Arazia, Lutalo, Ewali, Aidan, Salinaka, Aria, Mizuka and Kafara'vyakiza (Sp?!) (yes, I couldn't forget you guys),BinnyBoomBoom (Binstari XD), Kawe, Potea, Aitan, Maiza, Nabana,.... etc! Dude, so many names of the people who made Sunrise the awesome place it was and still is... people I considered more than just a number, friends, joke mates, people with whom I worked in plots and even in other mucks..
Oh well, still, I'm quite sure you're all in good hands since Affy is superspiffy and will make Annie and I proudish.
I wanted to just say that Sunrise will always hold a special place in my heart, specially all its people.. all the work we've put into it, all the fun we've had.. it'll always be in my memory. And I'm rather sure that whenever I have kids, I'll tell them stories of the Great Ewali, the adventures of Xian, Ronnie and Anubis, the evil Mviko with Unzumi and Sharvi and Onyataa.. god, someone should write a book (the size of an universal encyclopedia XD) with those stories. XD
Ahem. That said, best of the best for you guys (the players), for you Annie, Tilly, Affy, etc..
Always and forever,
Shahila / Yllan / Xian / Zelus / Treowan / Etc .. etc ..... etc.

Wohoo! Welcome to the 'Lurker' crowd Annie! XD Join the ranks of those whom are, but aren't here!
On a more serious note, you've done a wondrous job keeping SR afloat and prosperous - and fun, and you have my thanks for keeping our community intact. ... Now don't go and do something silly like going off on a whim and joining the Navy, y'hear? ;P That's my claim to fame! XD Good luck in your future endeavors and I hope to see you around the IC grid!
~Maiza // Ekrem
P.S. ... Yllan's actually still about? I'm in shock! XD Good t'hear from you babe! Hope life's treating you well. Here's hoping to see you around the grid as well! TTFN!

Er.. 5 years ago now, I think? Geez. But yes! Neither they nor the Air Force wanted me because of how poor my eyesight is. "Hay I can drive this boat, guyz! Watch! .. Whoops! Ahaha. They don't NEED this shoreline right here, do they? I didn't see a No Parking sign!" *clings* to a Yllan! Yes write about us Unzumi. XDThat would be so kewl.. We all know it would be a best seller with us for sure.XD All you need do is write "ANUBIS IZ A SEXY BEAST" and that book'll fly off the store shelves like mad. ;D

Bahahahaahahaa! Yeah, that's a little like my brother, Annie. He joined the Air Force but couldn't fly fighter planes (which he wanted to do) because he's too tall. He wound up flying a DESK in Bedford, Mass. about an hour drive from home. Join the Air Force, see the world, live in Mass! -.-
