So it's come to my attention since my absence that rumors about me have spread on the assumption that I left with hundreds of dollars in donation money.
I'm writing in reply to quell these suspicions. So I'll start from the beginning.
In the real world I go to a business school to receive my Master's in Computer Science with focus on Computer Programming. I work for a utility company as a glorified repairman for servers and networks ect...The beginning of my absence was the result of Finals during June. (As a business school we follow a 10 week semester not a 16 week) Shortly following the end of my Finals I was met with an proposition through my company to earn double pay + bonus for what was to be about 2 weeks of work offsite. This offsite project took me from Michigan to Raleigh, North Carolina. For the time being I was shacked up in a hotel for a total of 3 weeks (Due to complications) with my fiance's labtop playing games when I wasn't working. (I finally beat The Witcher 2, badass game)
So lets address some rumors.
-
Devilize is a jerk off who ran off with hundreds of dollars in donation money!A- Simply not true, I encourage any single person whom has donated to offer proof that their money was stolen. In case a donator has felt humiliated they may request a full refund of their donation. I know ever single person who donated btw. To make things more official I offer you my paypal transaction record I used to explain myself to my clan.

The single payment to Jestservers is the for the clan ts and was requested by one of the clan donators to have half his sum sent to the ts donation.

Devilize changed his phone, we called him and a girl was on the voicemail!
A- That's my fiance's voice, she even says my name, Demetrius, during the voicemail.

Devilize is ignoring people on steam HE'S GUILTY!!!A- I never had steam online while I was away as the hotel wanted to charge me for internet that was wireless only. My fiance was the one on my computer playing games or watching movies or looking up shit on PerezHilton.com She advised me that people were messaging me while she was on and asked to shut steam off. I advised her to to just shut off the friends list if she wanted to play games.

Devilize is playing eveonline!!!A- Yes I do, however, since I was unable to update my character's skill list while I was away I asked my fiance to do it for me. She would have been on for only minutes.

Devilize didn't pay for the server obviously he ran off with the money!A- Call it a series of unfortunate events, Ecko and I were talking about doing upgrades with the servers which would cost more money and a new donation center. The initial plan was to roll them out by July, the month i didn't pay. The first problem came with my relocation, I had planned to be back before the end of July and either pay into the server or begin rolling out the upgrade, unfortunately, I was detained for another week plus which put me over the date for the server bill. I could have made a payment, however, at the time I had no way of communicating to find if we upgraded or not and wasn't about to throw money off into space.

Devilize could have done something to get a hold of someone.
A- True, however, I simply had no idea that being gone for 3 weeks would amount to such random rumors. That being said I did advise a few friends I got a hold of at the last min that I would be gone for sometime. These select friends apparently didn't think it was a big deal, I don't blame them.
So inclosing these rumors are all false - generated by
A. Miscommunication
B. Bruised chromosome
C. Ungrateful little prick(s)
D. All of the above
I apologize to the community if I caused you heartache and chest pains. Thanks for reading.
