GM's disappeared, so it hasn't really moved. If If had any say, I'd say that to keep the IC moving you could, but you wouldn't be interacting with anyone but yourself and NPCs.

I have just as little from him as I have the rest of you. If I had any power I'd say just post in IC anyways, but in a way that doesn't really ruin the "forward movement" of the RP. If you can do some character development in flashbacks then do it. If there's anything else small you think you can do between your last post and ending up where you need to be then do it. If you're not with the core group yet like myself then just post (which I need to get to working on). With any luck we can keep this alive for at least a little while until Italian returns.

If not, then we may have to decide on succession if we think the story is really worth it. And how exactly we're going to try and interpret Italian's unspoken will for his RP. I don't want us to step on his toes, but for the sake of keeping this RP running IC wise then we might.

This RP is still clearly getting interest, and it would be a shame to see such an ambitious story that people want to play out die because the GM’s MIA. I’m somewhat surprised that there isn’t a Co-GM; it’s almost always integral to have someone who can carry the story when you just can’t at the moment, and it opens you up to new ideas with another brain to help build the script. So we’ve tried to get into contact with Italian, correct? He hasn’t answered, posted, or even logged on the site in three weeks. I think that’s a long enough time to have someone else take over and be GM in place of our missing irradiated southern European friend. Also, elect a Co-GM so something like this doesn’t happen again. Maybe even form other groups going down the two other routes, so that we’re not tethered down if one group’s slower to posting than the other. The different groups could be in line with different factions, all trying to race to the end to see who can claim the railways first. And with a large group of people participating in the RP, do we really want all of them bunched up?

That’s my two cents anyway. Follow it or don’t, but something needs to happen if this RP is to stay afloat. Dead RP’s are a dime a dozen on this website, let’s make an experience worth millions.

In the end I suspect what group there is should break up. Even if to do more things at greater distance than base greed or poor politics. But when you set things up to depend on one person and that person doesn't deliver than you've sort of ruined everything.

I learned this as well with a fantasy RP a friend of mine started. He was all pumped for it, we did our posts, and then it got to a point where he needed to post and he didn't.

So you're saying that all the characters who are grouped together now should break off into smaller groups? And then everyone who isn't in a group could find their way to each of these smaller groups...

Yeah, crafting a whole story that others participate in can be very difficult. The idea of GM'ing can be the greatest thing ever, but if you don't have the skill or drive... things fall flat. I'm not even sure if the "One to rule them all" rule really works. The first RP I've ever been in sort of had everyone move the story forward with their own ideas, but the meat and potatoes still went to the GM. Sure, we had people who did things out of line, but all you really had to do was tell them what they did wrong and ask them to edit their post. We made mistakes but we got through them together, it was truly a learning experience; a project that we crafted and changed rather than a game we played.

Not saying that it should happen absolutely but if we're afraid that someone we need to post doesn't post or disappears it'll lessen the impact on us all. Even me all the way on the East Coast. Alternatively, there could always be contingency plans in the even they don't show. Like in the group there could always be more than one person aware of another's plan to speak for him in the even he can't speak.

Certainly. Though as a GM I certainly take a laissez-faire approach to the story. In my own big one I sort of trust everyone knows what's going on. I'll jump when there's unrest in the RP about someone doing something. But then again, that group is really small, something like four or five people posting every so often. So it's not a big issue.

Right, so are we doing this for sure? If so, it’d be a good idea to try and get in touch with everyone and figure out if they’re still willing to do the RP. And there’s also the business of getting a GM and Co-GM. Not sure who’d be the best for that as I haven’t been here since the beginning. And then I’d assume that the GM’s would need to figure out where to take the story and get up a post so this thing can get on the tracks, so to speak.

I kindly respect Italian's ownership of this, so if the topic of a new thread comes up I say: hold off a bit.

Let's at least make sure he's not dead...

I agree with you, but I would like to see this RP live, so I'll ask; How long is "a bit?"

Maybe a week long, filling up the OOC with chatter and doing some non-productive IC posting to fill the time. I don't suppose we know of any alternate ways to contact Italian except through PMs?

I've been there before my good man. Get well.

On an unrelated note: writing an IC post. I hope to get this bit over before I post it. Might not be for a while though...

Well, now I feel like a shit for suggesting a coup d'état. I’ll just sit in the corner until the GM gets back.
