Look. I know I have been argumentative with people lately, and I apologize for that. I've tried to keep my distance because I know how I've been lately, which is why I've kept my chatter to a minimum and have been avoiding FC discussion for the most part beyond volunteering for groups.

I do not think I am above anyone in this FC. I realize it looks that way, and I should have chosen my words more carefully. I didn't mean to imply in any way that I am somehow better than anyone.

All of that said. I've done enough damage to the guild. At this point it is better if I leave things to you guys and be by myself for a while.

Lecan,

I haven't known you for very long, but you can have a blunt way with your words. Personally, I would prefer to be around people who don't pull punches - tends to make them more honest.

I may not be the most outspoken member of this FC, but I do watch people. And when I watch people, I learn things. The one thing I've learned about you, Lecan, is that you really care about this FC and where it's going. I honestly am disappointed to see you step down.

Now, I don't know the details of what the hell happened - I have asked around, but details are scarce, so if I'm putting my foot in my mouth, so be it. But the one thing I'm pissed off about is fostering an environment where people feel like they need to step down when someone gets offended. I don't want to be a part of that. Wynd is constantly reminding me that this is just a game. It should be something that people play to unwind and have fun. Damn, ever since becoming a part of this FC, it's made playing this game so much more enjoyable for me. I absolutely hate seeing stuff like this happen.

I may not be speaking on behalf of the FC when I say, but I am speaking on behalf of me and Wynd. We're legitimately sad to see you go. Thanks for taking the time to teach Wynd the in's and out's of SMN. Thanks for being an awesome dungeon running buddy.

Chocobutt,

Lecan's step down is a temporary one, this I can promise you. It's true that he cares a lot about this fc and the people in it. However the reason for his step down are not the choice of the fc, but his own personal choice due to the more recent events and behavior. While I can not reach him personally to see if he's alright, I can only say that his behavior of late has been unacceptable and very much not like the Lecan we know.

He has forgotten what it means to be a leader. And him making the decision to step down was the must responsible thing he could have done, not because he felt he had to, but to make sure that people like you choco and me and wynd can keep our loving environment intact.

This of course is speculation, but I respect the man and his decision. Much better than if he left. I would have hate to see that happen. As an officer I found his recent behavior unacceptable, but as his friend I worry about him. D:

Lecan,

Not exactly an apology my friend. But it's good enough for me. Your actions speak louder than your words here. Your place is always open here with the other officers when you are ready. I'm sure the others well agree. You are still out friend buddy and you'll always have a home in Valor. And we all worry about you, despite the tempers raging around.

You're a good man with a kind heart, always thinking of others before yourself. Your contribution as an officer and as a member have been second to none. You taught us all a lot and we have no words to express how much we appreciate what you've done. You even turned me, a stray cat from the streets of Limsa into the officer of the greatest group of loons in all of Balmung. You've spent a number of hours making sure I knew what I was doing when you could have been doing something useful for yourself. You're example shines, my friend. I just hope you come back to us stronger than ever. Because we Cate and we love you ^^

Much love,
Luna
