Ryutek just started a few weeks ago as TKA correspondant, so I am fairly confident that he's there for a while.
Anyway, good luck Caylin, you will be missed. Who's going to yell at all the "I found a slicing pattern" people now?

We all knew that this day would come eventually, I must say I was expecting later rather than sooner. You have helped us out a lot and I appreciate it greatly. Thank you a ton, you will be missed.

In all honesty......this is WAY WORSE than our revamp being pushed back.....but I know a couple people here who would easily get my vote and could almost pick right up where you left off caylin....We have a super awsome community here thanks to you. The next smug correspondent will be awsome just like you......
p.s. not to be a jackass or anything but is there another spot on the sandbox server now

I've frequented my fair share of profession forums, and I can honestly say that you're my favorite correspondant of the ones I've known. You were a great asset to our community. Hopefully you can hang around a while, if just to flaunt your new Blue Glowie title.

If someone from the sandbox list is chosen as the next correspondent, it could mean two more spots...

Sorry to see you go, Caylin.
You were one of the best corro's, you always fought for what we the community believed in and were always prepared to pass on information to us as soon as you were able.
You bought two things to this community which we have never received from the Red Named Ones, Honesty and Integrity.
Good Luck and hope to see you back some time.

I'll leave it to the new correspondent probably, unless the devs want me to select again. Yet I'll give you to the count of three to give me that cookie.

Screw it.
/guns WookieBounty down.

It had tohappen sometime and now is a better time than most, before the combat and smuggler revamps areunderway. I've let Thunderheart know that Ineed to retire from my position as Smuggler Correspondent due to demands in the world outside this community and this game. The simple truth isI simply don't have the time or resources to continue to play this game, let alone continueas your correspondent for much longer.
Here is part ofthe letter I sent to Thunderheart, I hope it explains why I'm saying this now.
While I'd like to continue as a correspondent as I enjoy working with the members of the various communities and the developers, the community needs an advocate that will be able to stick through till their revamp. As it seems that won't be till next year, I will not be able to fill that need for my community when it will most likely need that voice.
I would not like them stuck in a transition phase when a correspondent is most needed to represent them.
When I first signed on, the Smuggler revamp looked like something that would be near at hand, that I could assist with and assure the players their needs were being met. It was delayed, sometimes in a way that was detrimental to relations between the community and the developers.
If I leave now, the next one after me will be better able to get informed and ready for the times ahead. Yet I do like corresponding enough that I'm too easily inclined to drag things out.
So if you could let me know the course of action you feel is best for the developers and the community, I will work towards that end. If for some reason it would be more beneficial for me to stick it out a while longer in the event an already informed correspondent is needed I will do my best and gladly. If you would rather I step down immediately, so the next correspondent would be better able to grow into the position before you really have need of him, I will comply.
It doesn't look like they really need me right now though, so I felt I should go ahead and post here to inform you of what is going on. I don't want a period of time to pass where you are without representation and the soonerthat person can get up to speed for the times ahead, the better.
Once the torch is passed I will be moving on completely from Star Wars Galaxies and there is very little chance of my return. There are simply too many bittersweet memories to contend with as far as I am concerned. I still think this is the MMO with the most potential that just hasn't been realized. SadlyIfound that it was easier for me to say farewell than it was for me to see what I could do to continue my subscription regardless of my predicament.
I'll be around till they decide to give me the boot, or I simply run out of time. So it will be business as usual till then. I don't know when they will start taking applications either.
I do have high hopes for the combat and smuggler revamps in the future. With the addition of JTL to the system I feel there are going to be great changes forSWG as a wholeand Smugglers in the future. Too badIwill not get to see them and experience them with you.
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." - 2 Timothy 4:7, KJV
This is the darkest day of Smuggler community. You are best of the best, really suck to let you go.
