ASB Absence Tower

[Gigya]

So near the end of July, I'll be coming of age and thus moving out.
Because of this, I'm going to be on less frequently, and I'm going to be on almost not at all at the end of next month.
Just thought I'd give a heads up. Mostly for my SZ folks.

[Ayeun]

Hey all... I'm posting this here AND in the general chat to explain to everyone about my absence.

I just got out of hospital. I was involved in a domestic violence issue a few weeks back, and had to have some minor surgery on my face and shoulders. I am back now, but I wish to apologize to anyone who has been inconvenienced by my absence.

Hope to get back to work soon.

<3 Ayeun!

[Perfect Chaos]

So I'm posting this from iPhone...my wireless card's bandwidth has been used completely and too poor to add some more to it.

Plus, my major Uni exams are coming in August so this month will be pretty busy preparing for those.

I'll still be able to post attacks/go furthur in my current battles and adventure. But reffings will be scarce from now until August 10th onwards

[Gigya]

Alright, now is the time I talked about earlier this month.
It'll be a couple weeks til I get situated, so everyone who wants to get subrefs, and everyone who wants to switch SZ refs, feel free to do so.
Battles I should be able to do because they don't take too long.
I'll still be doing the Pokerace when I can.

[Ayeun]

Leaving tomorrow for a 2-3 week road trip. Will be able to post SOME things from my tablet. Please don't DQ me or anything.

[Mew Master]

Gonna be gone again, this time from today (the 19th) till Monday (23) for another Convention. Sorry this is short notice, I've been.. for lack of a better word, stressed bout it.

[DarkestLight]

Because you've been so active :p

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

A short break for me, I say Finnish summer cottages are stupid and boring, but still I'm going to go to one :/ I'll stay there from Wednesday to Thursday. My time zone, GMT+3, but I might come here in the morning or in the evening. Again, Ash0011 please post for me in Dragon Summer Battle if something happens.

[BTPoke]

Just giving a heads up because I know this is coming. Starting August 10th will be a week-long trip up to Wisconsin Dells. I might be bringing my Ipod Touch, but I probably won't be able to ref anything From August 10th until around the 17th or 18th.

[Gigya]

Looking like my time is getting freed up again.
If this is the case, you'll be seeing me get back to reffing soon.
I'll keep you folks updated, though.

[BTPoke]

Ok, I'm leaving now for a week-long trip. It's only a week, so that wouldn't be much of a problem, and I'm bringing my Laptop, but I just wanna let you guys know where I am if I somehow can't post for the week

[ChobiChibi]

Hey ASB <3

Hudd's in Wales singing all week. She has already been complimented by being told that they wish they could have 3 more sopranos like her. Hudd win. And that my bristolian-ness creeps in. Doh. Anyway, back Sunday evening, but will be moving to Uni shortly after. Will catch up on Sunday probs.

See you all soon *waves*

[Cynder]

I'm away for the week with my family, so I can only post from my phone. I'll be able to post in battles and things, but reffing is a no-go. I might try it later on in the week, but it's unlikely. Sorry! c:

[Ayeun]

I'm back from my trip. Hope you all missed me!

[Oslo]

Time to go *poof* for the next week-ish. I'm moving on Friday and that's also when the revised copy of my thesis will be due to my committee, so free time will be scarce. Please don't DQ and I don't believe subrefs will be necessary.

See you September 1!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'm going to visit the summer cottage once more. Back by Monday, but may post something during this short break too.

Got cancelled. Yes TPM for me this weekend!

[Perfect Chaos]

So my bandwidth's getting low again on my wireless card

But wait there's more!

I might be on scarcely for the next few days since I'm finally permanently coming back to the US! So just bear with me until the 13th (with a few days after to permit jet lag) where I'll finally be back to using sweet, glorious, uninterrupted Wi-Fi from my own sweet home!

So battles will be OK from my iPhone but they never seem to be moving. Reffings will be a bit scarce until then, but don't think its necessary to get a sub-ref for anything.

[Asilynne]

Starting Monday, Ben and I will be unable to post due to the fact that it will be the week of our wedding We will be gone until at least the 18th So excited! <3

[DarkestLight]

>.>...so..you should finish yer battle then, lol

[Skye]

Yeah xD So. In case you haven't noticed, my attention has been elsewhere. Life is rough right now. I'll still be posting, just... slowly. Making it official cause things aren't calming down anytime soon.

[Ayeun]

I am about to make a mega move. My family and I are moving from Darwin back to Brisbane. We are driving down, and I don't know how my internet coverage is going to be. I will TRY to post, but I may become sparattic over the next month or so. I will try to get to internet cafe's or hotspots tho.

[Skye]

Mom took a turn for the worse. She's become... I don't know. I had to call my brother who lives out of state and she just hasn't come back from wherever she went. Hospice care has been ordered, she might be around for a few more days, maybe a few more hours. I'll post, but I've got a lot of stuff to get wrapped up or noted for when she finally passes.

So. If I go quiet for a bit. Yeah...

Update: She didn't even make it 30 minutes... she got home and passed away.

[Perfect Chaos]

Well, might as post in here.

Past few weeks, RL kinda kicked in overdrive and I've just been swamped with a lot of stuff going on here. New job, family problems, trying to give a damn about studying for exams are all taking over.

So reffing has been scarce (as Oslo, DL and BT have been kinda enough to point out for me ) but I'll try to keep up in battles. And if I manage to get a free day in the next few weeks or so, I'll try to finish up all the current reffings I have, scout's honor! (funny enough, I was never a scout )

[DarkestLight]

I'll give you crap all the time, but take care of your RL. That's paramount.

Skye: Sorry for being late, but my condolences and well, please take the time to grieve and spend time away before coming back here

[Oslo]

It took me a while to realize RL = real life and not RaZoR LeAf. :U Oslo was... confused.

Anyway, my big trans-Canada move happens on the 29th. The next week will be a hot mess of goodbyes and packing and unpacking and orientations and, idk, buying new clothes hangers, so I might be scarce. I'll (try to) pop in for battles, but reffings will definitely have to wait until the New Year. Subrefs won't be necessary.

See you on the other side, mes amis!

[Wolfsong]

Sorry i haven't been on much recently. One of my coworkers and her mother was killed in a real bad accident Friday. Her Viewing is tongiht.

Edit: I didn't want to double post but just in case i'm going to post here. Ice storm warning and its suppose to get here around lucntime. As long as the power stays on i should be fine but if we fine bu if we lose power then it may be a while before i can post

[Ash0011]

sorry for the absence guys, got completely grounded, shouldn't be posting this but oh well will be back friday probly

[Perfect Chaos]

Bah, I really didn't want to do this, but unfortunately, I might have to get others to finish reffing my battles.

I'm leaving for India tomorrow once more for exams again (its really really stressful and irritating for me) and will be getting away from the Internet for the rest of this month and most likely for all of February until I get back on the 26th.

So sorry for letting everyone down, couldn't get a day off anywhere from work to be able to just sit, relax and type away, as I've been studying non-stop at any time I get off from work.

[Kumori]

I might have to retire from reffing altogether. Lately, I seem to constantly be getting sick & nauseated so don't expect any reffings soon. I really feel sick Sorry to those who have been waiting a long time.

[Oslo]

Don't retire from reffing altogether! I thought you were a great ref with really creative, thoughtful ways of handling certain effects. Your reffings reminded me of Darkly's. Definitely take some time off if you're ill, but I'd love to see you back reffing when you're feeling better!

[BTPoke]

I'm sorry for doing this, but I'm going to have to relinquish my reffing position in the battles that I'm reffing.

I'm not resigning from reffing altogether. In fact, I'm going to divert as much focus as I can on reffing my SZ zone for now. I have just simply recognized that I have taken too many battles than I am mentally able to take on. I've kind of bit off more than I can chew, so to speak.

As such, I'm simply going to start over, I guess. I give up the battles I'm currently reffing to anyone willing to replace me, but I will try my best to keep my safari zone going (I have been far too neglecting when it comes to ash's adventure).

again, sorry for doing this. I just don't think I'm prepared mentally for the task that I decided to take on, anymore.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

why don't you post in the reffing tower all the links to your battles so we can pick em up

[BTPoke]

Didn't really think of that. Thank you for the suggestion.

[Ayeun]

Sorry for my absence. I have been sick, and was admitted to hospital a few days ago. I get discharged this afternoon, so I should be able to get stuff back on track (reffing, the contest, ect) soon.

[Kumori]

In case I'm late for any battles, I'll be away on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (possibly more) due to no internet access.

[Wolfsong]

I'm back. Finally go my computer fixed. Its funny how much trouble something simple like needing a new power cord for the modem can be.

[RaZoR LeAf]

A heads up in advance. I'm going on Holiday on Monday 3rd June and wont be back home until June 18th. Obviously, I wont be able to ref any battles in that time. If you can't wait for me to get back, then you'll need to find a sub-ref. DL/MLG if you want a sub-ref then they need to contact me asap for the list of drinks. Uh.. also the verdant tourny reffing isn't going very fast, so feel free anyone to jump in there and continue it.

Next up, Safari Zones. Again, if you can't wait, contact me before Monday and I can pass on cliff-notes to a ref, but otherwise, it's as soon as I get back and recover from jet lag/going straight back to work I'll get new rounds done.

Please don't disqualify me from any battles I'm in.

I'm still here until Mid Sunday, but from Sunday evening, I'll be all but switched off. I don't know what wifi will be like in the hotel, if there even is any.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Alright everyone I'm gonna be gone for a week or so starting on June 13th, now before you all cry and whine because you'll miss me I might be able to post and stuff but reffing has no chance of being done but I will try to get as many rounds done before leaving.
Oh and before I forget... If you DQ me from any battles I'll haunt you forever, I will try to get posting my moves and contest move posted before then as well. Until then everyone's favorite person (I'm so vain I probably think this song is about me) is going to be reffing.

[RaZoR LeAf]

I'm back now, and I'm typ[ically back in work for 10 days straight from tomorrow. I will do my best to catch up all my battles, reffings and Safari Zone ASAP

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll have a short vacation of three days starting tomorrow. Will be back by Friday.
