Only such a sad occasion as this could have brought me out of hiding...

Alan, you, more than anyone else I knew on GK, have my respect. Your valor as a leader turned CP into the most powerful kingdom, indisputably. Thank you for making mine and all pirates' time in CP a wonderful time. As for my absence, I apologize for not speaking to you. However, I didn't want to have to face everyone with something that had happened which caused me to disappear in anger. Anyway, you leave the kingdom in good hands, and I am glad that the position of Admiral has been bestowed upon someone with a thirst for leadership, naval in particular. Well, now that I have shown my face around here, perhaps I will pay a few visits to see how everyone is doing. Again, Alan, thanks for being a true leader, a man of dignity and respect.
