People of Fanatannia,
Effective March 31st, I will no longer act as Notary of Names and Titles for the DemoGame. Of course, this is assuming that I have done much with this position in the first place, which I have not. I feel that I owe it to the nation to step down and allow a more active citizen to take on this role.
Though I would like to chalk it up entirely to lack of time, I am afraid I cannot. Since October 2002, I have gone from outspoken rookie

--- to prolific leader

--- to capable moderator

--- to inconsistent participant

--- to flighty malcontent

. At this rate, I am afraid to see what the next phase will be.
Even still, it has been a good run. I got to be Vice-President in DG2 and President in DG3. I was Domestic Leader twice and Military
Deputy 4 times. I even got to spend two days on the Judiciary.

And of course, I had the honor of helping to run this forum for about a year. But the most fun for me was the pleasure of witnessing the first posts of some of our current superstars. Right, d8575?
Though I have done it all in the DG, I certainly haven't seen it all. That said, nothing could keep me away from watching the cycle continue, if only as a spectator. I am sure I will still vote in elections and still chime in with a timely quip every now and then. I just believe that my days of public service are over, as my record over the last two games should reflect.
Thanks to everyone involved in this game for making it an enriching experience. I'll see you in the forums.
Respectfully,
DZ
