    As some of you may know, I have just begun college/university/whatever you choose to call it in your country of origin/residence. Given that I plan to be a responsible student and focus on my studies(at least for the first semester, amirite guys?), I realized it would be very unfair and selfish of myself to hold certain positions in URPG while my time is quite limited.

    Thus, I am stepping down from my position as Head Ref and I have chosen Monbrey as the new Head Ref. Cheers guys, try not to explode or something in my absence.

    Hopefully you'll stick around, WTP. You've done a good job in your reasonably short time as head ref, and I'm sure he'll do a great job too.

    So who's the new ref?

    I initially thought this was a joke thread. Wow, that's.....I'm speechless. Best of luck in university, man. Thanks for all you've helped us with as head ref.

    I know you're not completely leaving but I'm going to give you a sappy reply anyway. You've always been a great mentor to me, taught me how to battle and how to ref. You clearly did a good enough job to think I deserve this job, so the credit goes to you.

    Thanks man. Hopefully you do as well as I did in my first semester of uni. Lets not look at the others ^.^

    Fare thee well, WTP. You've made what is probably the wisest decision, if not the most fun one.

    You mean Kangaskhan?

    Good luck in all your ventures WTP, and hope to see you again.

    Are you staying as Senior Ref or do we need a new Senior Ref?

    Thankee for your work and time, sai. And good luck to Monbrey as well. You're both the best people we could ask to be in charge of the reffing section. ^_^

    We do, I just need my space for a little while <3

    Thats entirely up to Monbrey. I wouldn't be opposed to staying on, but I wouldn't be offended either if he decided to pick a new senior ref, seeing as my leave of absence is because I don't plan to be terribly active.

    They'll not be taken it down under while I'm still here.
    Which is quite often, mind you.
