Hello everyone. A lot of people know me here and some of you don't which is completely ok too - because it is my fault. For those who don't know me, my name is Charlie. It was never my intention, but I have become a bit player on the SCW scene, because of work. Because of time. Because of illness. (Yeah there is the issue of a severe stroke which nearly killed me 10 years ago and left me a hemiplegic).
This game and particularly this community have given me so much. I don't want to be a bit player anymore. I have been an efedder for 30 years and the last 14 of those have been in SCW. 8 of those years have included my character that is probably the most associated with me, Simon Lyman. Most people know him because he was my first character 30 years ago and I have played him for 23 years total now. Simon and I have grown up together in a lot of ways.
Simon was retired once, but I want to give his career a proper send off because it is the right time for me, not anyone else's, to give him that proper send off. So that is one New Years Resolution, to say that this will be end of Simon's career this year. I don't know when yet, but at some point this year, I will retire Simon, permanently, this time. It just feels right. Because that's life, everything changes, and all things must come to an end eventually. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened
My other SCW New Years Resolution is simply to be here. Because the only way I can give Simon a proper send off is if I am here to RP with him. So I plan to be. I can't promise you my very best I can for each and every RP I write like I have in past years, but I will promise now that what I produce each event going forward will be my very best I can produce at that time. Other than that, my New Years Resolution is just to have fun, as always. Otherwise, it becomes like a job and I already have one of them.
But enough about me, SCW community, what are your New Years Resolutions for 2026?
