There has been some stuff to wait on and deal with for everyone, holidays and less pleasant things. As of now Xzy is having to concentrate on IRL for now, and i wish them the best with it.
As such, much of whats going on IC is still in the court of the other players, we can work around Silk for now and deal with it in an appropriate manner but you guys have to actually go get stuff done IC or ask for me to skip ahead.
