Hey guys.
Chewy, thank you for your prayers, man. As always, the Big Guy came through for me. All my family and friends have been accounted for, both, from DC and NY. 
Nemo, I appreciate your words of encouragement. But, let me clarify, I was "scared" that I had lost certain people close to me. As for these bastard-fucks that have caused this carnage, I quote John McCain: "May God have mercy on your souls, because we will not...".
LLance, I am really glad to see you around. Hang out whenever you can. Same goes for you, Bibbo.
What's up Joker1? 
Also, it's good to hear from Gooz. I know that this has to be alot more personal for him, than the rest of us. Let me know if there's anything I can do, Gooz.
As for TOMB, and the current story.
Let me be honest. I am just not prepared to continue with this 'War' storyline. It really has nothing to do with the current events traumatizing me, more, that this 'epic'-scale tale simply cannot be told in proportion, with only a couple active TOMB writers and a handfull MBL writers. Seriously. It would be, like, five of us writing the entire thing.
I am prepared for other avenues, however.
What if we lost this War? What if, in a couple of posts, we lost, and it marked the end for TOMB, M.A.N., and the MBL?
With only these few writers active, it reminds me of the old TOMBL days. In this, I see a perfect opportunity for change.
If I had my choice, I would sweep our entire writing universe under the rug, ala' CRISIS, and completely start over. I mean it.
A brand new Earth. No MBL. No TOMB. No Courts of Light. No M.A.N. No history whatsoever. Just a few writers, broad imaginations, and a beginning.
You could create entirely new characters, with entirely new histories. Or, if you prefer, tweak your existing character in whatever fashion you want, and re-create them in this new universe.
Now, I realize that I am probably in the serious minority here. Don't misunderstand me. I love TOMB, the MBL, and our nice little universe. I love writing Pro, and I love joining in with your characters, as well. But, I'm not so blind as to not be able to recognize a stagnancy, and mega-convulated history (for those of us without the time or patience to gather it all into coherency, anyway...).
So, that's my pitch. End this 'War' post-haste, and re-begin the universe. You won't hurt my feelings if this is rejected. All I'm asking is...
...think about it.
