Hey all,

I thought I should inform you of my absence, as I will be away for two weeks. Week one, starting 6:30 PM on the 8th of January, I will officially be attending the Army Cadet Seniors Course. Basically, I will spend one week in Hell, learning how to discipline, teach, and everything else I've already learnt a hundred times before.

I will extract myself and my sister from this camp a day early, so that we can attend a friend's wedding. After the said wedding and reception party, we will be carted off home where we will pack numerous articles of clothing so that we may be swiftly driven to our holiday destination a long number of hours away. I will spend the next week away, having fun, and burning my already very-badly-sunburnt body on this holiday.

I'll be making a backup of the forums tomorrow so that I do not have to worry about it burning down. I'll send an email off to Abe Babe to inform her of my absence, as I don't really want the new users who need to be validated, be made to wait two weeks - especially so close to the release of Stranger's Wrath.

Oddworld Universe will not be re-opened today, as I had originally planned. I don't see the point in opening it and having a two week gap in news updates / content updates. Instead, I'll release it a few days before Stranger's Wrath's release in the United States. Great way to loose all publicity.

Don't have too much fun without me,

Alcar...
