Lorno, if you think you want removed we will honor that request. I know 36 million is a lot of XP and, yes, no one should ever be that far behind. At the same time, however, it can sneak up on you in a hurry. If you want to try for the next few days to make it up, I'm sure a number of us will be willing to help you work off the XP deficit. If you get in a good fellowship in VoD it would honestly only take one hunting session to make up the 36 million.
BTW, part of the reason you fell behind so quickly is that you only have 9 vassals, and the last time you updated AC Stats you didn't have leadership buffed (because AC Stats shows a leadership of 88 and that's your 350 buffed Self divided by 4). Adding in the vassal bonus, your leadership still only works out to 147, not the 163 you need for maximum vassal XP. If you had buffed leadership before you logged, it would have given you a leadership of 128 (counting the vassal bonus it would have been 214). The combination of not having 12 vassals and not buffing your leadership that one time is probably what knocked you down so far, so quickly.
No worries, it's all recoverable if you want to get rid of the debt and stay in the chain. You aren't on Phade's slacker list, because it came up suddenly. Even when we do remove someone from the chain for quota failure we give them a few days in which to try to make up the XP they are short.
Let me know what you want to do.
