First off, I'm sorry to see you go, Kate, as are the rest of us. You've done so much for the guild that can't be done without being appreciated tenfold. But, I can't wait for you to possibly return, even for a while, if/when the competition starts.
Second, I'm really honored to have this promotion. I really appreciate it, Kate! Thank you! ^^ Also, congrats to all of the other pirates who were promoted! I for one can testify to the fact that ALL of you earned it.
Good luck, you guys, as well as Kate, where ever you go. You promoted us because of a huge trust and confidence that we'll help lead the guild and lead it well, so trust me when I say that we won't let you down.
