Ahh, I gotcha.

Its a shame he won't get his stuff back but, and he ain't gonna like trying to contend with the GMs again, but is what it is.

He'll probably just stick to his choice of not subbing again, which kinda admittedly bums me out but I understand his feelings on it.
If any new details come up when I share the news with him I'll post a new reply.

Also hey, thank you for taking the time to read and reply! I appreciate it, and hope you have a good one.
