An introduction
Since it looks like I'll be here to stay, I thought I would introduce myself.
I am a 30 year old woman from a small village in Maine, USA. I am a licensed veterinary technician, and a volunteer with my local fire/rescue department. Right now I am learning to drive the ambulance, and hopefully soon will be taking classes to become an EMT.
And that leads to why I'm writing this. I can, and do, get called away at a moment's notice when a rescue call goes out. There is no way to predict when an emergency happens, or what it will involve. When my department gets toned, I will have to leave. When seconds count, there is no time to emote a departure. I will, however, send a quick @say saying that a call has gone out, and I need to leave.
So I am apologizing ahead of time for all the times I will have to leave in such a manner. (Oh, and for my sudden departure earlier tonight when I got toned)

No, you didn't scare me off. I was having some trouble that night with the different commands. Hopefully next time won't be so lame.

Re: An introduction
It is good to have you here, many of us are much the same way, we have full-time jobs and many times are called away for one thing or another. I hope you have fun while you are able to be at the computer in the game

Re: An introduction
As long as you attack those who you think are AFK...
I think a lot of us have a similiar situation. Well, maybe not saving lives and stuff.. but going on a call/work and other things that need attention. Most people just skillfully ignore someone who is AFK. So you should feel comfortable here

Oh, I won't just go AFK when I get toned. I'll be logging out. I might be gone 10 minutes (call gets cancelled) or many hours (longest run so far was 5 hours)
