Statement on my retirement (for now) from frontline politics

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I've hinted at this in some threads few people have read and I've mentioned it in the odd PM or two, but I suppose I'd better make this clear anyways:

Due to a longstanding illness (actually that's a plural) and the resulting painkillers and stuff, I'm retiring from frontline AF politics for the forseeable future (ie: a month or two).
I would have had to have done this no matter what the results of the Presidential or D3 Senate races.

When I feel a bit better I'll probably see if there's a small regional office I can run for or something. Maybe not. I don't really know yet.

In the meanwhile I'm open to part-time employment as an advisor on poverty etc. issues, although I wouldn't be able to start anything on that just yet.

Yet ANOTHER Presidental candidate that had no intention of actually holding the office.  Great.

Actually I did intend to hold office (although I didn't expect to even come close to winning) it's just that things have got worse during the last week or so (and worse still in the past few days).
I would probably have tried to get reforms on crime and economic development through, but I don't know how long I'd have been able to stay in the job.

Well I hope you feel better soon, anyway.  Come back when you do.  Atlasia isn't done with you yet.

[Jake]

Hope you're not abusing them and get well soon.

[WMS]

May you not be allergic to your painkillers (cause believe me, it sucks when that happens ) and get well.

[12th Doctor]

Good bye for now, Al.  Get well soon.



As an aside:

So basically KEmp was the only candidate who was acctually serious about be President!

Sound more like Al would have had Seige40 be Acting President while he recovered and then resume his full duties when he was able.

Oh, what might have been...

Get well soon.

[The Duke]

Get well soon.  I will be having a small (very little time consumption) job offer for you when I'm GM if what you're looking for is a way to be active without being active.
