Well, I wasn't entirely on my lonesome at 3pm yesterday! (ty to Moon, Gwyn and Jon for keeping me company 
)
But as of today the SDF has only Eugene and me as members in Neufreistadt and I am leaving the SDF inworld group. For all intents and purposes, the SDF is no longer a functioning faction within Neufreistadt.
I guess it's up to the RA to decide what to do about the vacant seats that, sadly, I see no way of filling in advance of the next election. My recommendation FWIW would be to keep them vacant.
