As many of you are already aware, I have been living in a suburb of Philadelphia for the last six years, enjoying steady Internet access and quite a lot of time to play NationStates. However, all things change, and my life is one of those things - graduating high school tends to have that sort of transformative impact.

Tomorrow, I will be embarking on a cross-country road trip and vacation en route to Harvey Mudd College (located in Claremont, California, which is a suburb of Los Angeles), which I will be attending in the near future. Although most of the hotels that I stay in will have Internet access, the time I spend on the Internet will be greatly limited due to the fact that I will be driving all day and seeing the sites along the way.

I will begin orientation at Harvey Mudd on 25 August, and at that time I expect to regain regular Internet access due to dorm connectivity. However, I do not yet know what changes college will bring to my Internet habits, and therefore I expect my Internet use to be at a reduced level for a significant amount of time even after I get to college.

Therefore, expect to be seeing quite a bit less of me beginning tomorrow, 7 August. I will still be checking in on NationStates as often as possible, but I'm afraid that "as often as possible" will be a lot less often than it has been.

Sad to hear for NS, glad for you (because of all the interesting new things that are ahead of you).

I consider you one of the jewels in the crown of this game. Every forum I go to, there's always a helpful Goobergunchia thread or sticky. I've never seen you be nasty to even the n00biest (sniperiest) (mp5iest) (gundgiest) n00b.

If you're half as nice in person as you are on-line, you'll have the time of your life!

Maybe, if you check back here now and then, the NS experts can help you with your assignments ... *trails bait*

Yes, it will be a shame. And there'll be no one to answer my annoying Wiki questions.

He won't be around for the school year, but Harry Mudd is a great school and no doubt he'll learn some new things to amaze us all (and maybe drag other new players to the game).

As for NSWiki, maybe some of the rest of us can help in other ways. I'm not technically able, but I can write and clean, and would be happy to at least be a pair of eyes. :)
