A Very Important Announcement

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

Ahoy Krewe members and other fine pirates.

Many of you who know me know how seriously I take the Krewe. However, due to continuous and frequent serious incidents in my RL, I have decided that I can not for the time being effectively lead this fine band of pirates. To be completely honest, I have not led any of the Krewe for quite some time. My lack of attention has affected the Krewe in a number of negative ways, and the last thing I want is to cause any harm to what I believe to be the finest collection of team players I have ever had the pleasure of being a member of.

A very difficult decision needed to be made, and unlike I would normally do, I did not bring this up for an IC vote. I considered the three strongest Officers I have available--sweet Li Wildtimbers, my darling Charlotte Firemenace, and the ever tremendous Dar Truesilver--to take over the guild and the powers of GM during my sabbatical. All have exceptional qualities and leadership ability. I would be honored to have any of them lead this guild. Honestly, if Lizzy were with us I wouldn't have had a doubt--Lizzy would have had the guild in a moment as my long-time co-GM. However, Lizzy is also not available due to RL issues of her own, so the point is moot.

I won't go into my deliberations, but I will announce that I ultimately requested Char to take the guild in my absence, to which she reluctantly accepted.

So, for the time being and for the forseeable future, Charlotte is the GM of BBK. She holds all powers, authority, and decision-making rights as any GM. All decisions made by her are to be considered as if they were from me--do not come to me with concerns or complaints--they will fall on deaf ears as I have way too much drama in RL to deal with in-game drivel.

Please continue to keep the Krewe in the highest regards of both Disney and POF. I feel that with this new leadership change we are about to see the resurgence of the old and mighty Krewe as yesteryear.

Thank you all for you time and consideration. You honor me.
