No fear, I'm not back yet!

Hi all,
yes I am alive, and I am writing this post in English so that most of you can understand it.
I didn't forget about all of you, and I miss most of you, anyway these weeks I am not really able to be there with you on SL.
I started having internet connection troubles, then I took the chance and thought that I really had to use my time to finish my exams (I did it!); now I am breathless because of the thesis for some time yet.
I won't hide I am glad I took back much time for myself, for my duties and things I had to do. Staying away from the web for a while has been salubrious, I guess, and not having connection at home helped me to use better my time.

Now I am here on our Blog - and not on SL or on secondfootball - because i just want to greet you, the team, the people i used to "meet" almost everyday. I don't care a bit about lots of people "elsewhere" - probably most of them don't even deserve one word from me. I wonder if somebody "there" now misses me or maybe gloats for my absence, anyway i still don't miss one single minute of my time spent with certain people (if any not-team-member is reading this, hey, you know well whether you are among that "certain people" or not, so stop complaining if it's not the case).

The only one reason that held me back in SL lately was the attachment to my team members. I won't dare to call you friends, because in my opinion it's not the right word to use when you never met a person. Anyway, I really care about you and I feel a little guilty for being far so long, but that's it. I heard that Tarcisio made a great job playing the role of the Boss in the meanwhile, and I feel really lucky having him there. I also know that others helped and keep helping him, and i want to thank every single person about that.

Moving on to "technical matters", if somebody ever wondered where the L$ (not the Kappa stuff) written on your contracts are (Tarcisio, did you pay out of your pocket, maybe playing as an escort night-time?), i want to assure that when I come back to SL I'll pay my dues, before the contracts end for sure, so that I'll respect all of them.

What else? One thing. That could seem dull but - who cares. I want you to remember that yes, you're playing a game, you're having some fun in front of your monitor, but the most of you are a group of people which met many months ago and keeps meeting for playing together. I want you to take this in mind. You can win and you can lose the games, you can have fun today or get angry for something, but my opinion is that the most important thing is the time shared together. It's precious, and I don't want anybody to waste too much time in silly matters. Ok, probably silly matters are the spice which keeps the thing alive, but I'd like you to enjoy your time in SNN, enjoy the company of your teammates, because every single person here is special in his own way. Try to ride over little troubles and aim to enjoy your time together. This is the real victory.

Ciao,

Swann
