A Message From Jordan

Hey everyone, I understand this is not the place for messages of this nature; but I feel obligated to address a few things.

Yes, I am completely aware of our lack of getting the subtitles out in a preferable amount of time, and I am truly sorry about this, as it simply couldn’t of been avoided. But I thought, why don’t I give the audience an idea of what went and currently goes on behind the scenes? Because I myself have succumbed to the “I don’t have enough time” disposition.

First and foremost… Please give a big thank you to Alex, he’s definitely sought through and proved some of his admirable leaderships abilities during the worst of times; he’s the guy that’s going to make sure everyone is in check and pursuing their parts accordingly, and if you’re not, he’s truthfully more understanding than he should be.

Some of you may or may not know that I am a High School student located in the United States, aside from my some-what heavy Academic load I have a respectable amount of commitments (Saxophone/Percussion player, marching band, volunteer work, social events,) while many of you are righteous to make the claim “If you don’t have enough free time do not sign up for this project,” I’ve had way more free time in the past. Mid January – late February have been absolutely ridiculous for me; my parents have recently been through a custody battle (I’m still a minor, almost an adult) that led me to have to switch schools 2 times (from the new one to back to the old one.) It wasn’t until I got back to my old High School that I started to have an abundance of make-up work and homework, as well as important weekend commitments. It was a very hard time in my life (one of the hardest in fact) and very detrimental emotionally; while I probably shouldn’t be talking about my personal life so openly you all deserve to know. Don’t be let down by this though, a new grading period has begun and I plan to return promptly as a Typesetter very soon.

As for my fellow members… 

• Shadi has been very busy with his 3D modeling projects, he is currently looking for a job in this department. Everyone who has been involved with some sort of artistic project (whether it would be video editing or 3D modeling) it is very strenuous and time consuming.
• Shizentaisuu has been busy with college.
• In early February Mickstar had a loved one pass away, he had to visit Japan for a few weeks for their funeral. His computer also broke, but he’s back now and working hard!
• Yuka is hard at work!
• Hinnerk has been hard at work!
• Karl in early February told us he was moving back to Australia, he has moved and is currently getting accustomed to his new home. He recently has returned.
• Alex has been taking initiative when Shadi cannot, and I cannot express how grateful I am for his dedication towards this project.
