It's come to my attention that I've made quite a few huge mistakes during my time in the VE, and... well, I owe you all a huge apology.

First off, when I joined, I was barely active enough to stay on the roster. I didn't report, I hardly posted, and when I did post I frequently invented unrealistic situations and then expected people to play along. I know I could have done better, and the Navy deserved a better writer.

Second, my godmodding and OOC childlike tantrums largely contributed to the eventual cancellation of the Imperial Omega Campaign. I shouldn't have participated, since I was in a really unstable mental phase in real life at the time.

Once Amacuse took command of Regents, my activity picked up quite a bit. The five of us quickly grew to be good friends via IRC. We got carried away with our writing, and pretty soon every story we were involved in contained large amounts of godmodding and non-canon elements. The resulting arguments ended in both Amacuse and I's completely overreacted resignations.

I was fairly angry at the time, and didn't really pay attention to who I vented to. One of my friends, after hearing my warped view of the story, ended up creating an account called ERROR404 using my network and attempted to disrupt things. Once I found out it was him, he got yelled at quite a bit, but... I still have to take responsibility for what happened.

I was finally convinced to come back about a week ago. I've had plenty of time to really stop and think about everything I'd done, about how badly I'd screwed up... and I figured there was no way anybody would accept me back after all that. I was just as sick of the drama as everyone else was, so I dropped my Maroy character and created Aelin as a fresh start. I figured I'd keep my old identity a secret until people had first accepted Aelin, but... people found out. So here I am, apologizing for an attempt to deceive almost the entire Navy.

So, for all my offenses... I'm really, truly sorry. There's no possible way I can completely make up for everything I've done, but... if you'll forgive me, I'd like to try.

I do not speak for the rest of the NHC, or for any other member, but you have my forgiveness.

I think we can put our differences aside and leave it in the past like it should be. You were an awesome part of Regents and the honesty is awesome. Don't ever stop writing.

I definitely forgive you!

Good to have you back, Maroy. It takes a lot to come out with a forthright apology like that, though I wish you'd gone straight with this and not tried creating Aelin. Forethought reduces the chances of drama, my friend.
